SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee was heckled by protestors during a speech in San Francisco Thursday.
Members of the anti-war group Code Pink shouted down the former Arkansas governor during an address before the Commonwealth Club. They were eventually hustled out of the Fairmont Hotel ballroom, but the affable, engaging Huckabee took note of the disruption.
"The beauty of America is that a person can come and even make a disruption, and you know what, that person is not going to be taken out and shot."

Huckabee then continued his speech about his tax plan, which was warmly received by the rest of the audience.
When asked about Governor Schwarzenegger's endorsement of John McCain, Huckabee told KCBS reporter Doug Sovern, "Nobody is inevitable until all the votes are in."
