Of course, Gov. Huckabee never made the statement that Beck outragously, even in jest, attributed to Huckabee re: Mormons "sacrificing children in their temples."
Huckabee was reported to have asked a New York Times: "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"
Which, strangely, was portrayed as offensive to Mormons.
I say strangely because the official website of the Mormon Church confirms that doctrinal belief:
"On first hearing, the doctrine that Lucifer and our Lord, Jesus Christ, are brothers may seem surprising to some -- especially to those unacquainted with latter-day revelations. But both the scriptures and the prophets affirm that Jesus Christ and Lucifer are indeed offspring of our Heavenly Father and, therefore, spirit brothers. ...Both Jesus and Lucifer were strong leaders with great knowledge and influence. But as the Firstborn of the Father, Jesus was Lucifer’s older brother."

Beck, like Mitt Romney, is a member of the Mormon church.
