He (Ron Paul) said it on Fox News, and I'm not sure he had seen the ad yet when he was asked (he was remote so he very likely didn't even have a monitor). So my reading of it at the time (I saw it live when it first happened) was that he was just making a general comment on the mingling of religion and politics. It was worth seeing just for the shocked reaction of the Fox morning show cohost.
I think one of the Sunday morning wags said it best (paraphrasing): I have no idea if the imagery was intentional or not but I don't think that Huckabee is at all upset by the controversy as it just reinforces the message he was already putting out there.
