Via the good work of Legal Insurrection:
Mike Huckabee claims that Newt is using a clip from Huckabee in 2008 out of context because Huckabee was not referring to Mitt Romney, but in fact Huckabee obviously was referring to Romney.
Huckabee's accusation:
Former GOP presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee “would love for” Newt Gingrich to pull a political campaign ad that features a comment he made during the 2008 campaign that appears to slam Mitt Romney for being “dishonest.”
“I know Newt Gingrich at the end of the ad says I approved this message, well let me just say, I didn’t approve that message,” Huckabee said in an interview Friday on Fox News.
The former governor of Arkansas said his words were “taken out of context” and were also ” deceptive” because he was not referring to Romney, one of his 2008 primary rivals.
As Jacobson shows with Huckbee's own words, the deception is Huckabee's. Huckabee is a liar:
Huckabee is a shill for establishment conservatives attempting to protect ObamaCare and the power and influence they derive from it. They want Romney because he fundamentally supports ObamaCare and considers it something we "should not get angry about".
Huckabee should be embarrassed and apologize.

In 2008, Huckabee made it pretty clear what his opinion of Romney was.
