FIRST!

Seriously……HuckaGeek turns my stomach more and more everytime he tries to be “Down-Home and Folksy”…….

Does this guy hand out barf bags at his events?

Onager on January 18, 2008 at 9:24 AM

You can almost see him flailing for attention. It’s kinda sad at this point.

bj1126 on January 18, 2008 at 9:26 AM

I’m praying that Hillary holds onto those leads in the state polls. Look at all the crap coming out on her, and it’s only the primaries.

Mark V. on January 18, 2008 at 9:27 AM

And btw, what is with the childish claiming of first slot on the threads?? This is a really annoying development.

tickleddragon on January 18, 2008 at 9:29 AM

Huck stepped in a stinky dog poop he could have easily avoided, and now he’s going to have to hop around a bit to wipe it off.

LimeyGeek on January 18, 2008 at 9:33 AM

You don’t like people outside the state telling you how you ought to raise your kids,

Frankly, I’m not too wild about people INSIDE my state telling me how to raise my kids, either, Guvner.

Can you imagine the gaffes coming off this chickweed in the general, or, worse yet, on the world stage?

I’ll say it again– He’s Clinton with a stuck zipper.

snickelfritz on January 18, 2008 at 9:34 AM

Oh no Hucks got way more stupidity in there somewhere - i lived 60 miles from Arkansas - believe me Huck’s lucky they don’t archive them TV tapes too well.

He’s a master of folksy stuff like the corn popper frying squirrel story he told on Fox News - completely made it up it - would take a 100 watt corn popper the better part of a day to fry a squirrel and when he was in college in the Early 70’s those electric corn popper things were not yet affordable for poor college students - they were retailing for 60 dollars in 1974. Jiffy pop was about the only way to get popcorn.

Lying sack of Arkansas finest chicken poop

you can check it the only reference by anyone in the entire Blogesphere about frying squirrel in a corn popper is Mike Huckabee

Not another hit not even close

Geez there is nothing that guy won’t say or do to get elected

EricPWJohnson on January 18, 2008 at 9:36 AM

You can almost see him his eyebrows flailing dancing for attention. It’s kinda sad at this point.
bj1126 on January 18, 2008 at 9:26 AM

SINCE WHEN HAS HUCK THE SCHMUCK NOT BEEN VYING FOR ATTENTION?
He came out of the birthing room juggling two balls!

Can you imagine the sight of him juggling balls like he twitches his eyebrows?

“…we’d tell’ em where to put the pole.”

Now does he have balls or what?

Mcguyver on January 18, 2008 at 9:46 AM

He is pandering to the audience and it will work.

davod on January 18, 2008 at 9:46 AM

Thanks James Dobson! What great judgement you showed by doing everything in your power to slam Giuliani and Thompson before the campaign really got going.

Oh, thanks also for not actually being a man of conscience and getting behind Duncan Hunter early and vocally, seeing as Hunter is the most consistent social conservative in the race, and has been for, oh, 20 years or so.

funky chicken on January 18, 2008 at 9:52 AM

AFTER HEARING COMMENTS LIKE HUCK MADE, I firmly believe that the Hucker’s entire campaign was hatched at the DNC! Matter of fact, I think it is managed by Howard Dean to tar and feather the GOP. Think about it: Has Mike Huckabee helped conservatives?

A year or more ago, I think Democrats got together and decided to run an evangelical spoiler candidate among the conservatives and Huck was chosen. By keeping Huck in the race, he acts as a spoiler, takes away from the true conservative message, and prevents other candidates from getting an advantage. Every few days he issues a moronic message that taints all candidates and conservatism.

Brilliant strategy by Democrats! I’m not falling for it.

IntheNet on January 18, 2008 at 9:53 AM

That won’t help him when he has to campaign outside the south, or even outside South Carolina for that matter.

I don’t think it’s going to help him inside South Carolina, either. We put that issue to rest years ago and I don’t appreciate him bringing it back up.

backwoods conservative on January 18, 2008 at 9:55 AM

I gotta ask….Bryan, Allah, Michelle, anyone; have any of you gone to listen to Huckashuck speak? The reason I’m asking is there has to be something more going on here then his Christian designer wear. I’m no fan, as you all know. I believe we have a better chance to survive with Hillary in the WH then this gentleman.

We get the vids, and the sound bytes, but would love to get some input from an observer in the second row.

Limerick on January 18, 2008 at 9:57 AM

Aren’t Huck’s 15 minutes up yet? Ugh.

Tim on January 18, 2008 at 10:03 AM

Christan Mag, World, has a great article out titled:

Republicans need to be more like Sam Adams

they mention Huckabee often in it, but the point of it is they need to tone their rhetoric to appeal to multiple audiences, something the Huckster isn’t doing here obviously.

Adams failed as an 18th-century brewmaster but mastered the art of building coalitions without losing a biblical edge. Adams, sometimes called “the last Puritan,” prayed every morning, read the Bible with his family every evening, and frequently emphasized the importance of “Endeavors to Promote the spiritual kingdom of Jesus Christ.”

And yet, Adams in his political writings emphasized not Isaiah but the understanding that “security of right and property is the great end of government.” He argued that “the religion and public liberty of a people are so intimately connected, that their interests are interwoven and cannot exist separately.” He worked hard to convince Christians and anti-tax libertarians that they were fighting the same battle.

For example, Adams opposed the Stamp Act in 1765 not only because it imposed a tax but also because it mandated that church documents be on stamped paper sold only by government-selected distributors. He brought together opponents of taxation without representation and opponents of governmental interference with churches.

bingo……I think I’ll have a Sam Adams or two later today, best way to ease the pain of our Candidates rhetoric.

funky chicken on January 18, 2008 at 9:52 AM

From your lips to God’s ear.

Also:

Here’s a special message FOR A SPECIAL PERSON:

JAMES DOBSON, YOU CAN STICK A FORK INTO YOUR LEGACY, IF YOU EVEN DARE COME OUT AND SAY ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT MIKE HUCKABEE!

As much as James Dobson as helped the culture in the past, no past success, guarantees it in the future.

THE BEST SERVICE JAMES DOBSON COULD DO TO THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW, IS, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Mcguyver on January 18, 2008 at 10:10 AM

And thus he went out in flames. I think it’s great

Baphomet on January 18, 2008 at 10:14 AM

How dumb was this remark?

Only Johnny Carson would have a great answer to that! :)

I will say tho, that the comment was so dumb, you’d think he’d left his brain at the coat check.

It put me in the mood for some “yo mama” jokes.

PolitiNOOB on January 18, 2008 at 10:14 AM

Huck is running a campaign to:
1. Attact lots of attention (good or bad).
2. Excite non-thinking members of his religious persuasion.
3. Offend everyone else.

I do not say “Go Huckabee” but “Huckabee GO” (use I-90)

Regards

The Rock on January 18, 2008 at 10:24 AM

Not.
Presidential.

EJDolbow on January 18, 2008 at 10:33 AM

Huck the Schmuck and Silky Pony have one thing in common. They are both complete charlatans and flim-flam artists. I wouldn’t trust a single thing either one of these two has to say, and I mean on anything.

pilamaye on January 18, 2008 at 10:38 AM

I’m so excited by the prospect of yet more debate and argument over the SC flag. We need more political discussion this substantive. We need more discourse about how racist America is. Can we also bring back the debate about Janet Jackson baring her nipple at the Superbowl?

thuja on January 18, 2008 at 10:47 AM

Can we also bring back the debate about Janet Jackson baring her nipple at the Superbowl?

thuja on January 18, 2008 at 10:47 AM

Ummm, no, I think we Americans will be better served if they are asked about Britney Spears and Dr. Phil.

Brat on January 18, 2008 at 10:52 AM

Well, here in Georgia, we also put the flag flap to a dirtnap a few years ago. When I heard his comments, I groaned “not again.”

This was not a wise topic to bring up again.

Goober is, as Goober does.

thuja on January 18, 2008 at 10:47 AM

Now that would actually be preferable. Thanks for the soft porn script on a Friday morning. It gave me pleasant thoughts to wash out the memory of the Huckmeister’s twitching eyebrows.
Thanks a million.

Mcguyver on January 18, 2008 at 11:08 AM

Romney is going to let have McCain have SC, perhaps this will be the end of the Huckster? I think Romney is brilliant…let McCain take care of Huck, the true conservatives will take care of McCain. Both moves good for the GOP. Actions speak louder than words, and here Mitt shows he really does care about the future of the party.

Ideal situation (reality - not fantasy):
McCain 24%
Mitt or Fred 22%
Fred or Mitt 20%
Huckabee 14%

EJDolbow on January 18, 2008 at 11:17 AM

Coulda been worse. Potential top 3 un-endearing comments he might make would be:

1. I’ve got a pair of boxers with the cconfederate flag

2. Were any of you guys in “Deliverance”?

3. Where I come from (Clinton country), “summer” is not a verb and “poker” is not a noun.

whitetop on January 18, 2008 at 11:36 AM

The was a man named Huck,
who told the folks “You’re in luck”

You CAN cook squirrel in a corn popper
which really was a jaw dropper

Cause the people don’t really give a ***k!

csdeven on January 18, 2008 at 11:48 AM

A Confederacy of Dunces.

Huck does a pole dance and falls on his asspirations.

profitsbeard on January 18, 2008 at 12:20 PM

I’m with Funky Chicken on this. Duncan Hunter was a great candidate that never got out there. Dobson and his ilk really peeve me because Huckabee was a preacher, they endorse him.
This remark about the pole coming from a “heathen” would be way more acceptable. Yeah, it’s foolish and nasty really and that’s what gets me about Huckabee, playing both sides. On a pulpit one day and the next day saying a remark like this. As a christian and as an adult you are held to higher standings and I just see devious moves, like I wouldn’t show that negative ad, but come here, this is how it looked. My husband thinks I’m overreacting, but it’s this stuff that ticks me off, besides the fact that he is so not conservative.

Conservatives R Us on January 18, 2008 at 12:56 PM

”South Carolina people know true conservatism when they see it.”

Yep. And you’re not it.

I know you all don’t pay much attention to MySpace, but based on the behavior of whoever was running Hucksters MySpace profile from the beginning ((I mean the beginning, in advance of Fred’s radio commentary)) I had a raised eyebrow on him. The MySpace profile that was a Draft Fred’08 site originally had the Huckster’s profile first and the only Republican candidate to link up with it. He started posting in the front comments section about how much he likes Fred! and appreciates his support. I was like (*scratching head*), does he realizes that Fred’s gonna run? What’s he doing?

Now I know!

Sultry Beauty on January 18, 2008 at 4:27 PM

Hmmmm. Then you had better never read some of the colorful remarks that Martin Luther made about his opponents, including the Pope!

And almost NO ONE denies that man’s greatness. (Catholics even sing some of his hymns today.)

Ahhh, but we live in such a prissy age: No smoking, no calling gays que ers, etc.

sanantonian on January 18, 2008 at 7:47 PM

If it comes down to Huck v. Hillary, I’m moving back to Ireland.

sulla on January 18, 2008 at 7:16 PM

Perhaps I’ll follow your lead. What is Ireland’s immigration policy?
