This was published on Monday and TP has a follow-up today that I'll post next ~ but don't you at least hope that prominent candidates [from any party] do their due diligence before aligning themselves with scumbags? ~ Image ~ Sooz

Here is today's TP follow-up item ~ seems to me the evidence against Oberholtzer is plentiful and was easy to find ~ which leads me to the conclusion that Huckabee's troops didn't do even the most basic due diligience ~ not exactly confidence-inspiring ~ Sooz

On Tuesday, ThinkProgress reported that former Governor and current Fox News personality Mike Huckabee has been starring in a new health reform ad campaign run by a political consulting firm owned by a notorious scam artist. The firm Huckabee's group had hired is 949 Media Group, a company run by Derek Oberholtzer — a notorious scam artist who ripped off foreclosure victims. Before going into political work, Oberholtzer ran a company that promised aid to people facing foreclosure. But prosecutors from Idaho and the federal government found that Oberholtzer had systematically robbed his customers by charging them with fees ranging from $595 – $1,500 without doing a thing to help them with their mortgages. Responding to ThinkProgress's report, Huckabee colleague Ken Hoagland sent Max Brantley of the Arkansas Times a statement indicating that they will fire Oberholtzer:

[quote]

Ken Hoagland, chairman of Restore America's Voice said,[b] “We have terminated the services of 949 Media after we saw a web report last night detailing prior complaints involving its participation in certain mortgage relief marketing activities.â€

He fired him only because he got caught.

The GOP thrives on charlatans and con men.
