Huckabee is effing trash.

THAT, is exactly what I’m talking about.

Huckabee is not good for America.

“The worst example of that syndrome, chronicled in detail by the crusading journalists at Arkansas’ The Leader newspaper, concerned a killer named Glen Green, sentenced to prison for life after confessing to the savage rape and murder of a teenage girl. An Air Force sergeant, Green had bludgeoned the woman with nunchucks, violated her almost lifeless body, run over her with his car and dumped her in a bayou. A preacher friend of Mr. Huckabee convinced him that the girl’s murder had been an “accident,” and that the convict had repented, come to Jesus and therefore should be freed.

Mr. Huckabee seems to have known very little about the horrifying case beyond what his preacher pal told him. He didn’t bother to seek the opinions of the prosecutor or the victim’s family, and he ignored the dissent of his own parole board. But when the governor announced that Green would be released, a furious public eventually forced him to reverse his decision. Still, he insisted on releasing a number of murderers and other violent criminals despite protests from prosecutors.”

this is the racistest dogwhistle the bushies have evar runned.

Mother
……Huckabee.

Just in case anybody is keeping track there are 14 open threads on HA with the word Huck or Huckabee in the title.

Number with Rudy in the title: zero.

This has got to be borderline cyberstalking. I’m surprised that Huckabee’s name wasn’t thrown up there as one of those MLB players who used performance-enhancing drugs.

Why don’t you just not read the threads that bother you? But, if you know something about Huck using illegal drugs,…why not share? :)

I couldn’t agree more, even before my daughter was born, I felt in certain cases, the disgusting crime of rape(a heinous act, not all of us are capable of) should be a capitol offense.
I find the ad very telling, and d*mning.

There was a 4-1 vote to parole. This was not a unilateral decision by Huck.
Pardon, clemency and commutation are all moot subjects.

Except the parole board previously voted 5-0 against granting parole… only after Huckster announced his desire to see him go free and had a closed door meeting with the parole authorities did they grant parole- in other words, they wanted to keep their jobs.

There’s no way around it- he was paroled ONLY because Huckabee intervened, and a girl is dead because of it.

You could write it off as a one-time lapse in judgement, except he has a long history of granting clemency and pardons to violent criminals- usually after a jailhouse coversion or they had some personal connection to Huckster.

Let me know when having a rational discussion with you guys is possible.

I’m not the guy defending a governor who pushed for the release of a rapist with an extensive record, who went on to rape and murder a young woman.

Look, I know Michelle doesn’t want you guys to consider Huckabee.

Uh, don’t know how to tell you this, but Michelle doesn’t sway my vote. Rudy has been extensively scrutinized on here, too.

amerpundit, you’re bringing up the ‘adviser’ thing that’s already been discounted?

How was it discounted?

amerpundit, you’re bringing up the ‘adviser’ thing that’s already been discounted?

Discounted? Because Huckabee denied it?

But, the way some of you are letting your perceptions be skewed by the crap that’s been distorted about his record is mindboggling.

There’s no need to distort his record. It’s bad enough on its own merits.

Frontrunner: Huck. Not frontrunner: Rudy.

Sheesh.

Some of the HotAir crowd has gotten out of control. It reminds me of the Democratic Underground where people will belive anything if it makes a candidate look bad.

Look, I know Michelle doesn’t want you guys to consider Huckabee. I’m not even sure if I want him as my choice as nominee. But, the way some of you are letting your perceptions be skewed by the crap that’s been distorted about his record is mindboggling.

Clearly, I’ll be knocked for calling it like I see it, and that’s fine. But hey, to each their own.

Never claimed it was. However, his “intent” was to have Dumond free. Since he has not explained exactly what went on in that executive session, and rarely explained his decisions to law enforcement and victims, we’ll have to go with his statement at the time.

Pardon, clemency and commutation are all moot subjects.

How, exactly?
