Huckabee has been verbal lately and in doing so has shown his lack of civility, something you would expect from a minister……..
I saw this message to Mike on Twitter and just had to share it…….could not have been better said……..ENJOY!

Huckabee: Stealing The Thunder
We all have marveled at the idiocy that is Donald Trump. His comment on Hispanics and Mexicans have pissed off a whole segment of society….but the upside is the media cannot get enough of his stupidity. And he is the front runner at this time for the GOP nomination…….and that speaks volumes about the mental capability of the GOP…..at least to me.
But while the Donald was languishing in the spotlight of fame he has been ambushed by another……a preacher with just as much stupidity as Trump……I am speaking about Huckabee.
We know that all the GOP candidates are on the same page in the opposition to the Iranian deal….but my man Huck has taken it to the extremes……..
It’s no surprise that presidential candidate Mike Huckabee isn’t happy with the recent Iran nuclear deal, but the rhetoric he used to make his point has prompted a call from the Democratic National Committee for an apology, the BBC reports. In an interview with Breitbart on Saturday, the ex-Arkansas governor called President Obama’s foreign policy “the most feckless in American history” and said the commander in chief was “naive” to think we should place our trust in Iran. But it’s what he said next that ired the DNC: Huckabee said that by striking the Iran deal, which he calls the “most idiotic thing,” Obama “will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.” He continued: “It should be rejected by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and by the American people. I read the whole deal. We gave away the whole store. It’s got to be stopped.”
In a statement, DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Huckabee’s comments had “no place in American politics” and that “cavalier analogies to the Holocaust are unacceptable,” per CNN. “Mike Huckabee must apologize to the Jewish community and to the American people for this grossly irresponsible statement,” she added. But Huckabee doubled down on Twitter with a graphic of his controversial quote, accompanied by the message: “Tell Congress to do their constitutional duty & reject the Obama-Kerry #IranDeal.” He also included a link to his website, where he demanded Congress not take summer vacation until it kills the “horrific, humiliating handout to Iran that threatens Israel, emboldens terrorists, and will trigger a nuclear arms race across the Middle East.” His campaign rep simply noted to CNN that “the comment speaks for itself.”
Someone had to stop Trumps meteoric rise and Huck took it upon himself…….he doubled down on the “oven” comment saying that he had been to Auschwitz three times and stood at the door of the oven….he knows what the door looks like…..seriously? Apparently all you need to qualify as an expert in the GOP in foreign policy is the capability in recognizing a door……
But what can you expect from the brain of a Baptist preacher? Certainly not anything rational.
For now Huck has stolen Donald’s thunder….and the god will be angered…….
Huckabee creates new ‘Daisy’ ad to warn against Iran deal | TheHill
Us old farts remember the infamous “Daisy” ad from the early 60’s……..even then it was a bit too much…..and now with the hoopla created by the dildos on the Right over a deal with Iran on nukes it seems that they are trying to scare the American public into another bout of irrational FEAR.
It appears the Mike Huckabee being the “good christian” that he is has joined the parade on false flag accusations…..

Huckabee Makes My 2015 Sh*t List!
From time to time a politician makes it onto my sh*t list……..and this election it is Huckabee.
He opened his mouth and inserted both feet…..my mother was a Jicarilla Apache and I have a soft spot for my Native American ancestry……then some lily white douche has to go and make a statement that gets my ruffles up…….
Any time this person would like to defend his accusation I will be right here….doubt very seriously if he has the cajones to debate…….
From this point on any and every thing that Huckebee sez will be WRONG! Any good vibes he may have cultured with me is….GONE!
A Return Of The Huck And Chuck Show ?
My brain is barely calm after the many candidates announcements yesterday…….then BAM! The Huck-A-Buck had to throw his hat in the ring……
It is official we now have one more GOP candidate running for the GOP nomination….the Right Reverend Mike Huckabee.
Mike Huckabee is throwing his hat in the ring—again. The former governor of Arkansas today announced “I am a candidate for president of the United States of America” at the University of Arkansas Community College, in his hometown of Hope—which also happens to be the birthplace of Bill Clinton, USA Today reports. “Every day in my life in politics was a fight,” Huckabee says in a video set to introduce him. “But any drunken redneck can walk into a bar and start a fight. A leader only starts a fight that he’s prepared to finish.” The video also notes Huckabee’s ability to rise above “Bill Clinton’s Arkansas,” includes visuals of both Bill and Hillary Clinton, and describes his plan for a “maximum wage” for workers, per the AP. How his entrance is being framed:
- RealClearPolitics has Huckabee currently sitting sixth out of 14 current and potential GOP presidential candidates.
- Writing for the Washington Post, Karen Tumulty notes a few things in Huckabee’s favor (he’s a “gifted communicator” with solid name recognition), but sees the path as challenging. Though he won the 2008 Iowa caucuses, his funds soon petered out, and this time he’ll face “credible” opponents, some of whom “are challenging him for the financial and political support of conservative Christians.”
- At the New York Times, Trip Gabriel frames 2008 as the easier race. “The biggest question in voters’ minds about Mr. Huckabee … may be why he has returned to the fray. Although American politics is full of stories of the ultimate triumph of also-rans, from Richard M. Nixon to Ronald Reagan, Mr. Huckabee would seem to face greater obstacles than during his first presidential campaign, when he battled only a couple of rivals for the party’s conservative base.”
- How an NPR headline puts it: “Can Huckabee Overcome The ‘New Car Smell’ Of Other Candidates?”
We will get all the love and concern of a Bible thumper…….Huckabee’s folksy charm may not sway many gay rights supporters, as the former Arkansas governor has called for themandatory quarantining of people with HIV/AIDS, defended ex-gay therapy and pledged to restore Don’t Ask Don’t Tell if elected president. Such remarks aren’t surprising, as Huckabee has also compared gays to Nazi propagandists, alcoholics and people who have sex with sheep. Most recently, he linked the purported danger of gay rights in the U.S. to the threat posed by the terrorist group ISIS. He has warned that same-sex marriage is a “perversion” that will lead to divine punishment and the end of America.
But I hope he brings his shadow from the 2008 campaigns….Chuck Norris…..so I can once again use……”The Huck And Chuck Show”………
Do you realize that there is a chance of 18 or more GOP candidates in this election……gonna be a crazy election……cannot wait.
Huckabee Has The Answer!
One name being batted around for the GOP nomination is one Huckabee or Huck-a-buck or….well you pick a description for this mental midget. Back in 2008 when he ran for this prestigious position he was joined by Walker Texas Ranger….Chuck Norris….I do hope that happens again so I may return to calling it the “Huck And Chuck Show”…….a comedy of errors.
Enough of my jocularity….let’s get to what this post is about….of course being a Baptist preacher he will have lots to say about gays and their rights……but he made a statement recently that made me laugh out loud……..
As Mike Huckabee feels out a 2016 presidential campaign, he’s evidently not suddenly going after the gay vote: The former governor of Arkansas tells CNN today that, as a Christian, asking him to accept gay marriage is akin to “asking someone who’s Jewish to start serving bacon-wrapped shrimp in their deli.” He adds that while he has friends who are gay and that he doesn’t shut people “out of my life because they have a different point of view,” he likens homosexuality to a lifestyle choice, like swearing or drinking. “I don’t drink alcohol, but gosh—a lot of my friends, maybe most of them, do. You know, I don’t use profanity, but believe me, I’ve got a lot of friends who do. Some people really like classical music and ballet and opera—it’s not my cup of tea.”
And don’t look for Huckabee to undergo President Obama’s famous “evolution” on the issue: “This is not just a political issue. It is a biblical issue. And as a biblical issue, unless I get a new version of the scriptures, it’s really not my place to say, OK, I’m just going to evolve.” He continues: “We’re so sensitive to make sure we don’t offend certain religions, but then we act like Christians can’t have the convictions that they’ve had for 2,000 years.” (Huckabee recently dinged the Obamas for letting their kids listen to Beyonce, whose dancing is “best left for the privacy of her bedroom.“)
What got me tickled was not the gay stuff for I have come to expect that infantile crap from religious mental midgets but his comment that cursing is a lifestyle……
Really?
I admit it….I curse like a drunken sailor….but mine is not a lifestyle I choose….it is more my minds reaction to the insanity and lack of comprehension by my fellow Americans…..and a coping device for me to keep from choking the living sh*t out of some a/hole that desperately needs it. Since most are not capable of grasping the simplest concept….my mind just cannot tolerate….STUPID!
The Chuck Weighs In
Remember the Huck and Chuck show of the 2008 elections? Huckabee and his ever faithful side kick Chuck Norris…..well our boy in infomercials has made a statement about sharia law….well have not most of the right wing nuts made a statement about sharia law?
Chuck Norris stands ready to defend the country, promising to deliver a roundhouse kick to “radical Islamists” who would “use the freedoms in our Constitution to expand the influence of Shariah law.” But first he felt he had to make a statement about the first amendment…..
“First, let me categorically state that I’m not an Islamaphobe,” wrote Norris. “I welcome the plurality of religions in America and am a firm believer in the First Amendment. But just as our religious freedom is secured in the Bill of Rights, so is our freedom of speech to share even our religious concerns.”
Once he made that non-racist racist statement he went on to say……(that was kinda like the racist that says, “some of my friends are black”)…….
“In the end, it seems to me we have a choice to believe that Shariah law is, or is not, a pro-Islamic system of civic, religious, moral and social laws, which is being used to run other countries and governments but is not being (nor ever will be) invoked to run ours, based upon the belief that our constitutional republic and Bill of Rights is inferior.”
So Walker has jumped on the looney wagon with the concern that sharia law will become thew law of the land….did I miss something? I have seen NO evidence that sharia law is ever being used in the US….of course, other than the dipsticks on the radical right that want us to believe that it is…..
My daughter and friends tell me that I should not take any of this fecal matter to heart….but you know if they were not so blatantly stupid I might ignore them….but there is a little old man sitting on his porch in Willacoochie, Mississippi that will believe that sharia law will take over and we will be in the throes of Islam by tomorrow night….IT IS A LIE….and all lies need to be challenged….and that is what I am doing challenging Walker on his assertion…..What is he really afraid of….maybe it is that NO one will remember him for anything other than an infomercial.
Palin In 2012?
Daily Agitator
Let me begin with my opinion on her possible run for the presidency in 2012….personally, I think she will opt out and avoid in conflict with fellow GOPers……she is making way too much money being vague and flippant…..why open her life and principles open to the media for massive scrutiny?
With that said…..she still has a lot of support among the “base”…whatever the Hell that means……and she could be convinced that she has a chance in Hell of winning it all…..I think she is smarter than that….why?
Then I could be mistaken! She made a statement after the latest N. Korean conflict…..
“Obviously, we gotta stand with our North Korean allies,”
Glenn Beck, who is not the sharpest pencil in the box, had to correct her and point out that it was S. Korea that is our ally…….just when I think she is getting a handle on political stuff….she has to go and show that she is still clueless…..
The problem is for her, other than being self-absorbed and unaware, the same as for Huckabee….the electoral numbers are NOT there! Political Wire has a great summation…….
With Republican presidential prospects considering whether to enter the fray, The Fix notes that “one thing is clear: that Huckabee and Palin…would perform well without the other, but they might undercut each other if they are in the same race.”
“The base of support for Huckabee and Palin is readily apparent, and for both of them, it starts with born-again evangelicals. The two of them combine for 46 percent of that vote, compared to just 26 percent for Gingrich and Romney. Palin and Huckabee are also the top two vote-getters among women and people without college degrees… It’s hard to see Palin having a path to victory that doesn’t include Iowa or South Carolina, and both of those early states happened to be Huckabee’s strongest in 2008.”
We will see if she is the “maverick” that she pretends to be…….
But there is another idea…that is now that GOP leader Steele is up for re-election, some within the party, well Tea Party nation, have said that Palin would be ideal for the position…..but home girl may not be interested….
Phillips released the letter because Palin has “shown in the past no hesitation to take on the establishment.” The letter warns that if an “establishment” candidate wins the nomination against President Obama in 2012, it will mean “Obama and the socialists will have won.”We need someone who will put conservatives in control of the party apparatus, not RINOs,” he writes. Some on the right use the acronym RINO to refer to Republicans they disagree with as “Republicans in Name Only.”
The letter also attacks current RNC chairman Michael Steele for spending money with “the gusto of a liberal.” It urges that the Republican Party needs someone that can cut spending and be able to lead and energize the troops within the Republican Party.
“You have an unbelievable ability to light up a crowd and to raise money,” said Phillips. “Both of which the Republican Party needs.”
But soon after the letter was released, Palin announced she would not take them up on the offer. She released a statement saying she wasn’t best suited for the position.
“The primary role of the RNC chair seems to be that of fundraiser-in-chief,” said Palin according to Politico. “And there are others who would probably be much more comfortable asking people for money than I would be.”
(As reported on CBS’s Political Hotsheet)
She is NOT interested! Basically for two reasons…..one she would have to give up all her personal money making endeavors and two, it would take her out of the presidential contention, if that was ever her desire….this also does not help her aspirations…
“That’s the highest negative rating for anyone measured in this poll (and it’s two points lower than Nancy Pelosi’s negative rating from last month). And get this: The only major subgroups that Palin wins in a head-to-head match-up with Obama are Republicans, conservatives, and FOX viewers. That’s it, folks.”
She keeps her name in the media by saying that her announcement is still months away…that she needs to see who will be running and if she can make a difference…..well, she can make a difference…..she could assure a GOP loss in 2012….how is that?
Huckabee is OUT!
Recently I wrote a post on the future prospects for the GOP in 2012 elections and one of those at the top of the list, at least for now, was Huckabee…….but now that is a fading prospect……
It seems back in the days of high adventure when he was governor of Arkansas he spent some of his time review inmates cases to see if there should be any changes in their status…..one of those inmates was the guy that just shot and killed four Seattle area police officers that were having coffee…he was later hunted down and killed resisting arrest….but the main thing is that Huckabee commuted his sentence because the man got 100+ years for a robbery when he was 16 or 17….
Why would this be his, Huckabee, death note? If anyone here remembers back in the day when one Dukakis was the Dem candidate that was scuttled by his release of a inmate named Willie Horton, who went out a committed a horrible crime…..this was one of the things that the GOP used to help defeat Dukakis……
You can bet your butt that this will come back to bite Huckabee in the butt…….his opponents in his own party may use it and if he is the nominee of the Party then the Dems will definitely use it against him……his action will NOT be forgotten by anyone that will run against Huckabee…..
Unfortunately, this episode will most likely kill any attempt Huckabee would make to secure the nomination of the GOP……
South Carolina’s Sanford is out…….Huckabee is OUT….the field of Repub wannabes is getting smaller as the weeks and years move on…..
