[See NewsBusters for more.] All three morning shows on Tuesday fretted over Mike Huckabee's comments about Iran, dismissing it as a "desperate" move to boost his poll numbers. On Good Morning America, co host (and Clinton donor) George Stephanopoulos complained that "former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee [is] stirring up the latest firestorm."  In a radio interview, the candidate assailed Barack Obama as "naive" and said of the proposed deal: "[Obama] would trust the Iranians and he would take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven." GMA reporter Tom Llamas lectured, "Many saying there are just some things that are off the table and any comparison to the Holocaust is one of them."
