Huck hucks up again, says he would ban pretty much all political speech unless it’s kid tested and candidate approved

Well, no wonder the Huckabee people like McCain so much. When it comes to free speech, they’re both agin’ it.
I personally wish that all of this was outlawed. I think that every candidates should speak for themselves, and that every thing that involves the candidate’s name or another candidate’s name should be authorized and approved by that candidate, otherwise it shouldn’t be spoken….
The point is that candidates can’t force these special interest 527 groups to stop. I wish we could.
The “this” that Huckabee wishes was outlawed is push polling, but he takes the riff much farther than that with the “every thing that involves a candidate’s name…should be approved by the candidate” line. It doesn’t take a Constitutional scholar to see that that would mean the end of the First Amendment, at least in a political context. But since we’re on the McCain-Feingold free speech slip n slide, we might as well just get a good run and dive in head first. At least that’s what Huck seems to think.
But don’t worry. By tomorrow he’ll have signed a pledge promising to protect the First Amendment as his bff. Because he’s tough. And smart. And not winging his entire frakkin campaign at all.

The Bell Curve. Click on that link and look at the shape of the graph–like a bell. Basically, if the curve represents the typical distribution of intelligence in a population, the small side on the left represents the relatively small number of very unintelligent people. The small side on the right represents the relatively small number of extremely intelligent people. The highest point in the center represents those of “normal” or average intelligence–the greatest number of people in the population. The number of people with above-average intelligence drops off sharply from this peak, as does the number of people with below-average intelligence. Saying that a group of people come from the left side of the bell curve is a euphemistic way of saying they’re not too bright.
aero on January 17, 2008 at 8:44 PM
His natural default position seems to be government control. Every single time! Ban this, ban that, control you lives — damn the constitution and it’s silly bill of rights!
While this may not be an accurate characterization it sure is starting to seem like that with the Huck!

OK, easy there, Borg Queen! It’s time to simmer down a mite.

Hmm, well I’ll admit I’m not always the sharpest pencil in the box, but I don’t think I’m a dumbsh*t either.
jewells45 on January 17, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Yeah, I usually see folks on the left side of things (or was that leftists?) as being not too bright!
Y’know, Aero, I coulda toldja that beforehand and you wouldn’t have needed to put all that energy into a statistics lesson!
Shirotayama on January 17, 2008 at 8:47 PM
I don’t like Romney, and I’m looking forward to his health care plan dying an ugly death because giving people free access just leads to rationing. BUT I can vote for him if I have to. McShame and Pastor Holiday Inn Express will never get my vote.
From your lips to God’s ear.
Laura on January 17, 2008 at 8:49 PM
The original bell curve comment was not in reference to your intelligence (unless you’re a Huckabee supporter). Someone else said you belong on the left side of the bell curve, but later said they weren’t insulting you or anyone here. Guess it was just a joke, poking fun at your ignorance (meaning lack of knowledge, not lack of intelligence) about the bell curve. Don’t worry. No one seems to be saying you’re a dim bulb.
aero on January 17, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Wait, isn’t push polling already illegal in SC? On the other thread several people are saying that it is, with a $200 fine and 30 days for each instance.

Heh. Never thought of it that way–leftists as being from the left side of the bell curve. Sometimes it’s just too easy.

I think you’re confusing Mcguyver with someone else, Igor. he doesn’t support Huckster.

The AFA is giving Huck a forum:

Quite the betrayal by Newt, eh?

Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 8:55 PM
Aah yeah… there are always some ignorant commentators around because they don’t read or don’t have time to.
Igor.. I am the one with original idea to start a poll of the least favorite candidate.
Out of 677 votes Huckabee got 413 votes as the least liked GOP (Grand Ole’ Party, or republican) candidates.
I must no assume.
I started a blog just because of Huckabee: http://www.candidateiliketheleast.blogspot.com
Don’t apologize. Just go and tell nine (9) people about my blog and no bad thing will happen to you.
Mcguyver on January 17, 2008 at 9:24 PM
I’m maybe confusing the object of his admiration, but he did lie yesterday that Fred employs a jihadist. That’s an old rumor about Spencer Abraham who is a Lebanese Christian.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 9:24 PM
No problem, I just don’t want anyone around here to think they have been insulted when I’m actually insulting the leftards.
imshocked on January 17, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Huck likes government control
He doesn’t like freedom.
Huck is a leftist.
Tzetzes on January 17, 2008 at 9:26 PM
If McCain/Huckabee were the Dem ticket they’d win by 20 points in the general election.
MrSteve on January 17, 2008 at 9:28 PM
How is that a lie about Spencer Abraham? Fred’s still my guy, but he lost major points from me for bringing that guy on board.
Laura on January 17, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Especially because Soros couldn’t be happier with McCain’s “achievements”: McCain-Feingold, sponsoring a bill on Global Warming with Obama, pushing for restoration of ties to Vietnam while ignoring any MIA questions. This is a part of Soros’s globalist/destruction of the US agenda.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 9:34 PM
Mitt is up 15 points in Nevada.
Nevada will be assimilated.
South Carolina will be assimilated.
Spencer Abraham was too friendly with terrorist organizations. Fred hired him…for awhile anyway… who nows now.
Fred was goaded into running for president.
Fred whined the other day on Fox News,”You mean I’m out here busting my gut, away from my family, an doing this just to run Huck off.”
[sounds of baby crying]
Submit yourself to your new Overlords, the Mittheads.
YOU WILL ALL BE ASSIMILATED!!
HUMBLE YOURSELF FREDHEADS! YOU KNOW YOU DON’T WANT HUCKABEE TO WIN!
Mittheads… are we the team for the job? YES!!
Does it feel good? YES!!
Can we beat everybody? YES!!
Mcguyver on January 17, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Listen, Spence is a bad dude, and I don’t like many of his stances and actually criticized Fred on blogs that actually reach his campaign for having him. But he is not a “radical Islamic jihadist”. You can’t be a radical islamic Jihadist if you’re even nominally a Christian. I love Debbie’s stuff, but she is obsessed with Spence and he never acted as Fred’s acting campaign manager.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 9:39 PM

Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 9:53 PM
I don’t know anything about his faith. But Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Fred Phelps, and Mike Huckabee are all nominally Christians too, so I don’t take claims too seriously, I wait and see how they act.

Mcguyver has come over from the dark side and joined the Huckabee camp…. you’re next Laura!
HA commentors are leaving Fred in swarms and signing up with the true conservative…Mike Huckabee!
HaraldHardrada on January 17, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Well Jimmy Carter is a de facto jihad supporter, but nobody calls him a “radical Islamic jihadist”, that’s all.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 9:56 PM
Well Farald, maybe it’s time to rename it “FA” then, ha?
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Soon Huck will call for the reinstatement of slavery as the Christian thing to do, after his Confederate Flag stance. “Oh tell me people of South Carolina, what do you want me to say and I will say it!”
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 9:59 PM
A pro-Confederate Flag third-party group is running new radio ads in South Carolina praising Mike Huckabee’s pro-state’s-rights stance on the flag issue — and slamming John McCain over his repeated criticism of the controversial symbol. “Mike Huckabee’s stand is a breath of fresh air,” say the ads, which are paid for by the Americans for the Preservation of American Culture. “Gov. Huckabee understands that all the average guy with a Confederate Flag on his pickup truck is saying is: He’s proud to be a Southerner.” McCain has been dogged by the flag issue in South Carolina.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Thanks for the acrobatic teflon-heeled spin there, clown.
I can go to bed now fulfilled, having seen the act-of-the-day.
I’ll take a closer look at you posts in the future for possible spinning-patents that I might possibly steal from you.
Thanks.
Mcguyver on January 17, 2008 at 10:07 PM
HA commentors have got HDS. What is HDS? Why, Huckabee Derangement Syndrome, of course. LOL.
Okay, this isn’t even debatable. C’mon, we all see it.
… Or, maybe it is REALLY EDS (Evangelical Derangement Syndrome)?
apacalyps on January 17, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Good screen cap there anyway.
Mcguyver on January 17, 2008 at 10:16 PM
If by “Derangement” you mean; he won’t address the issues or ethics inherent in a primary race, then yes. He certainly has not addressed any major issues, and by all accounts, has engaged in, or winked at, unethical behavior.
And if by “Syndrome” you mean; unaccountability and irresponsibility, then of course!
Thank you so much for playing. We have a lovely parting gift for you in the back.
wccawa on January 17, 2008 at 10:17 PM
You can even go to hell fulfilled. Your work is done. I don’t spin, I tell the truth about those I support and those I oppose. If I were to spin I wouldn’t express my dislike of someone affiliated with Fred’s campaign. I’ve criticized Fred on exactly three things: not getting rid of Spence, who is not a central figure in his campaign, supporting ethanol subsidies, and not being more forceful. I like everything else about the guy.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 10:17 PM

George Orwell never foresaw and idiot Big Brother in the making, and that’s Huck. He holds two diametrically opposed opinions he can’t even understand.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 10:21 PM
So how did I lie? You said I lied about the very thing that you criticized Fred for.
How did I lie about it when you say the exact same thing?
Hell, by all accounts, is too hot to be giving yourself directions on how to get there.
Mcguyver on January 17, 2008 at 10:24 PM
New-cussword-mania!
Tzetzes on January 17, 2008 at 10:25 PM
anti-Evangelical hate? Yes, that’s what I mean.
wha-wha-what?
Huckabee’ candidacy is about:
-The Fair Tax and abolshing the IRS.
-Winning in Iraq.
-Fighting the war on terror.
-Reforming our healthcare system.
-Fiscal repsonsibility.
-Securing our borders and reforming the immigration system.
-Energy independence.
-Protecting the sanctity of life.
-Protecting traditional marriage.
anti-Evangelical hate? Yes, that’s what I mean.
I have lost so much faith in conservatism in the past month because of the demonization of Huckabee. It is very disappointing.
Y’all just keep worshipping along with Mitt at that altar on the planet Kolob and the rest of US will elect the next President.
apacalyps on January 17, 2008 at 10:25 PM

Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 10:25 PM
IgorClown R.,Here’s some more thorazine for you.
Mcguyver on January 17, 2008 at 10:26 PM
In spite of being a Mitt supporter, you behave exactly like Huck: when confronted with your record you first deny and then distract with a feeble attempt at humor.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 10:28 PM
I’ve long accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior and consider myself a born-again Christian. I’m not an expert on Jesus Christ but one thing I am sure of is this:
Huckabee ain’t him.
Therefore, my faith does not require me to worship Huckabee or believe anything he says–especially if he says the exact opposite at an expedient point in time.
Also, Huckabee ≠ every evangelical Christian.
baldilocks on January 17, 2008 at 10:29 PM
You need to learn to read. Go back to school.
I said, Fred, had Spencer Abraham on staff, who in his day was pandering to radical Islamic Jihadists.
Look up the word pandering in http://www.dictionary.com
Hint: it doesn’t mean a teddy bear.

Mcguyver on January 17, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Never, never, never. There isn’t just Fred. There is also Mitt. Huck has not appeal other than to the Bible-thumpers. He has no redeeming qualities at all.

wccawa on January 17, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Igor,
Just to be fair, I think it was me that said Fred has a jihadist on his staff… it was the reason I left the Fred camp to begin with.
HaraldHardrada on January 17, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Ha ha ha ha!! You know it Harald.
I’ll just stop writing right now.
apacalyps on January 17, 2008 at 10:40 PM
I’d be happy to. I’m not stubborn. Unfortunately I tried to look for what you wrote and couldn’t find it quickly and now I have to go. If I indeed misread, I apologize in advance. I remember seeing “radical Islamic jihadist” and I commented even then without reply.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 10:40 PM
If that’s indeed the case, then I’m wrong and I apologize to Mcguyver. I only have to make it conditional because I don’t have the whole thing in front of me.
Igor R. on January 17, 2008 at 10:42 PM
So, hucksters… it’s just you and me on this dead thread.
Death match.
Are you ready to rumble? Bring your skanky azzes over here and let’s play, ladies…

wccawa on January 17, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I have yet to hear an honest critique here of Huckabee foreign policy. That is, a critique that addresses what he actually says and rebuts it as opposed to cherry picking portions, distorting them and then calling him Jimmy Carter or naive. I have seen no one offer evidence for this slander.
-Huckabee advocates increasing the size of the military.
-Supports winning in Iraq and supported the surge. Says we shoudl stay until we win.
-Has essentially the same policy as the Bush Administration on Iran.
-Understands that this is a war for our survival against Islamo-fascism.
I can back up every one of those items. Honestly people, it’s like debating Democrats here these days.

As as Fredhead, I have to admit this was a very poor choice. And it may go a long way in undermining Fred’s credibility on several fronts (we may put that in the past tense, depending on what happens in the SC primary). Not to say the others aren’t any better, but this is Fred we are talking about here. He doesn’t need long shadows of doubt hanging over his head…but this is certainly one.

baldilocks on January 17, 2008 at 10:48 PM
You’re right Huck is the strongest on foreign policy.
Mike Huckabee is the strongest candidate for energy independence!
Becoming energy independent is our secret weapon against the muslims and russians…when we are energy independent the economies of all oil exporting islamic countries and the russian economy will collapse.
The muslims will have no money to build nukes to detonate in our cities, let alone build mosques worldwide and/or support global terrorism.
HaraldHardrada on January 17, 2008 at 10:48 PM

I second that Laura!
HaraldHardrada on January 17, 2008 at 10:50 PM
What difference does it make? IIRC, Bobby Jindal is Catholic and Indian. Is that gonna also be a problem for you when his time comes? What if a Jewish person runs? One more question. Why did the Huckster decide to leave the every day ministry in favor of politics? Was it the money or the power?
a capella on January 17, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Oh, great. Instead of going to bed angry last night, he stayed awake to plot his revenge.
apacalyps on January 17, 2008 at 10:50 PM
It has been very difficult for me (and others) to critique that which does not exist. I have visited Huckie’s website, and have found him wanting, nay… non-existent. Not so much in generalities, but in specifics.
He appears to be riding a small wave that washes on the beach. In and out, back and forth, whichever is most expedient and takes the least effort…
Ladies, in the past, I have used his “energy policy” page as a very specific example, and will do so again. I have challenged Hucksters to explain exactly what it means. What would he do? What would he propose? I see nothing but knee-deep bullsh*t there.
When I have challenged Hucksters on this, I get nothing but doe-eyed stares and no answers.
Foreign policy? On a first move, you can consider that pawn sacrificed. It is arguably Huck’s weakest link, assuming, of course, that he actually has a strong link.
wccawa on January 17, 2008 at 10:51 PM
Why is it important? It’s extremely important! You question Huckabee’s Christian faith when you don’t understand the basics of your own. Mormon’s are NOT Christian’s. I would never say your not saved and going to heaven, but I really think you need to re-think your criticism of Gov. Huckabee.
apacalyps on January 17, 2008 at 10:58 PM
Interesting posit.
What, exactly, defines an ex-Baptist minister?
Lack of faith? Re-definition or re-interpretation of calling? Abandonment?
As my Baptist minister friend said to me last week: “”Used to be” Baptist preachers make me nervous, too.”
Or, in the time-honored line; “show me the money!”
What’s Huck’s line?
wccawa on January 17, 2008 at 10:58 PM
Oh, the reference to Christianity and Mormonism. The coupling of those terms defines impossibility. Christianity and Mormonism are mutually exclusive terms.
Mormonism was invented in the 1800’s in America by a man named Joseph Smith. He invented scriptures which are filled with plagiarisms from the Bible, and fantastical histories of the North American continent and it’s ancient peoples.
Mormonism differs from Christianity in many ways. For example, the definition of God: in Christianity, there is one God, and that God is three persons –Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To the Mormons, there are gods beyond number. All current gods were once men. They think men today have the potential to achieve god-status in the world to come. This alone makes Mormonism unlike anything having to do with Christianity in any known historical form.
And no, they don’t believe in Christ like regular Christians do. The truth is that the Mormon church teaches that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers. THAT IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN THE BIBLE. This alone is heretical (and blasphemous) for it changes Jesus’ claim to be “the ONLY begotten of the Father.”
The Bible clearly teaches Jesus is the only begotten Son of God:
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His ONLY begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16
The other differences are many, but we don’t really need to discuss them. If you have God wrong, you have everything wrong.
Mormonism is a strange American folk religion, no more. It is not Christianity.
apacalyps on January 17, 2008 at 10:58 PM
How can he have a foreign policy when he doesn’t know we don’t get along well with Cuba? Closest he’s come is calling his fellow GOPers Shi’ite Republicans when they opposed his tax hikes. Oh, I forgot,…our present “arrogant bunker mentality” as regards Iran. He’s gonna change that to the Golden Rule. There’s a winner..
a capella on January 17, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Neither is the Jewish faith. Again I ask, why does it matter? What if a person is a Protestant but has not been baptized? Should that prevent him from becoming president?
a capella on January 17, 2008 at 11:04 PM
The only reason this exchange is even taking place is because your candidate employed identity politics and tried (and largely succeeded) in isolating a bloc of voters based on their beliefs.
Anyone inside his “magic circle” lives, while everyone outside of it dies (politically speaking, of course). By his method of inclusion, he implies at the ultimate exclusion. Wheat and chaff, as it were. I’m sure even his push polling has some Biblical connotation attached to it…
Even Satan could quote scripture verbatim.
I have just scanned the entire thread, and have seen the term “Evangelical Christian” used by just one or two people in an original post. Would you like to guess who they are?
wccawa on January 17, 2008 at 11:05 PM
wccawa:
Ok I’ll take that.
Huckabee supports building coal to synthetic oil facilities to immediately end our oil imports.
He supports building nuclear power plants to replace our coal burning power plants.
He supports ALL bio fuels including thermal depolymerization of biomass to synthetic oil he supports biodiesel.. ethanol…cellulosic ethanol..liquified natural gas…methanol..Butanol and electric vehicles and plug in hybrid electric vehicles
He has a plan to mandate the federal government to purchase 100% domestic bio fuels.
He supports the $40 per barrel biofuel subsidy..which will tremendously help bio fuel producers from the inevitable huge drop in oil prices when we become energy independent.
He supports energy crops and landfill mining for domestic biomass.
He was the first to propose a Apollo like project for energy independence.
He supports huge tax breaks for biofuel producers.
He supports domestic drilling ANWAR, florida coast, Ca. coast etc.
He supports oil sands mining and oil shale mining.
HaraldHardrada on January 17, 2008 at 11:05 PM
I honestly wonder what has gotten into some of you people? How much clearer can Huckabee be? His credentials are just as good as anyone else’s on foreign policy. He understands the threat of terror (very important) better than all the other candidates the problem is you guy’s don’t wanna see it (or see it with muddy eyeballs).
“There’s no peaceful co-existence, there’s no accommodation, there’s no naïve nonsense that if we leave them alone they leave us alone. This is a war someone will win and someone will lose,” he told WND during an exclusive one-on-one interview.
Huckabee warns fight with terror won’t end in draw

“Whoever perseveres and whoever has the strongest will, will in fact win and that’s why we can’t give up,” he said.
He also opposes international judicial jurisdiction over the United States and believes that judges who cite international law in their U.S. court opinions should be impeached.

Hey, was just scrolling up and found this.
Does Huck feel the same way you do about Mormons? Why doesn’t he just say so?

Foreign Policy is his strong point?
You mean, Mr. Uh, What’s the NIE? Strong point, my eye.
apacalyps, I don’t know if it matters or not, but the simply reality is disapproving of Huck is an anti-evangelical sentiment. One can disapprove of Huck without any reference to Christianity whatsoever. It is true, however, that I do find his references like saying bloggers clogging up phone lines in hotels is doing the “Lord’s work” irreverent and disrespectful to the real thing.
And maybe there are people who won’t vote for someone because of their religion. I’m not particular convinced of this myself, when Coulter praises him. Moreover, the Constitution forbids religious discrimination and a lot of people believe the Constitution has served us very well.

HuckaFlunky has no clue about the world as it is. He has made mistake after mistake in talking about many conditions in the world today. The NIE, martial law in Pakistan, etc.
The guy is a religious gibot, a fraud, and a liar.

Now I will leave you hanging as the energy geeks come along and pick your carcasses clean. Thank you!
Gotta go get some popcorn…

Pity the Golden Rule doesn’t apply to his behavior toward his political opponents, those push-polled, un-American, un-Christian, anti-life, Shi’ites.
Good thing he’s a Christian and refuses to engage in that kind of dirty politicking!!

What are you talking about? If you want to talk about Mormons call Mitt Romney.
I didn’t question Huckabee’s faith.
I said this:
and this:
and this:
There’s not one thing there that has anything to do with Huckabee’s faith or anything to do with Mormons.
Are you saying that in order to be a good Christian I have re-think my stance on whether Huckabee is Jesus Christ or not? Or perhaps I should rethink my stance on whether Huckabee is every other evangelical Christian or not. ::rolls eyes::
You have concentration issues. I’ll pray for you.
