Again, I’m betting there are no sources. The media have shown themselves to be totally in the tank for Obama, and really mean spirited toward Palin, so why not go all the way?

This is probably the equivalent to a Bush National Guard Memo, complete with Times New Roman fonts.

Band of reprobates?

Buy Danish on November 9, 2008 at 2:01 PM

Romney ran thousands of smear ads against Huckabee. And just like him, many of you spewed lies day after day after day after day after day about him. Huckabee is a socialist; worse than Hillary; would destroy the Republican Party. Evil? Divisive? Despicable? Unbelievable. I felt like I was on the DailyKos. Just change Huckabee to Bush. Why do I call them a band of reprobates? Because condemning a decent man with bold faced lies like that is typical reprobate vocabulary. These people have believed a known deception, which makes them into liars. See, the problem starts with them, with the person. When they refuse to turn to truth, God finally gives them up to be reprobates (not knowing between right and wrong). They ACTUALLY start believing the lies. That is why some of these people are impossible to debate. God has already given them up to be reprobates for believing a known lie.

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:” 2 Thessalonians 2:11

The question was “cui bono” (”To whose benefit?”). Huck benefits. Whether Huck was, or is, involved is a different question which I did not address.

I guess you didn’t insinuate into the conversation that Huckabee was involved with those Palin smears, afterall. My mistake.

Cui bono? Huckabee and The Democrat Party. They are not aligned, but have the same goal, which is to destroy Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney.

Band of reprobates? Mitt is a reprobate? And so are his supporters? Damn (woops!) who the hell (oops!) do you think you are?

BTW, if you think your loony comments help either Huck or Sarah, think again.

Apacalypse, Please stop whining about the mean negative ads that Mitt ran.

Oh, yeah, the other thing: In this case you’re not unlike gutter politician Romney in the sense that you try to obscure your patently false statement that Mike is out to destroy Sarah Palin – which is a ludicrous statement – just a pathetic statement – clearly debunked by the evidence I provided which established beyond doubt Governor Huckabee was one of the first political leaders who supported Sarah Palin, as reported by Mr. Morrissey!

No one that has the long-term interests of the party in mind, certainly.

Any Republican that signed on to the Amnesty debacle doesn’t have the long term interests of the party at heart.

McCain has a history of being a sore loser; McCain has a history of nasty rhetorical attacks on people, right down to his own base over a policy disagreement.

Someone as powerful as McCain need only make an offhand comment for something like this to start. Aides that didn’t like her anyway would take it as a mandate to go and pull this crap. Whether Sarah told McCain to stay out of it or not, he should have been in the middle of it, because it makes him look very bad, whether he started it or not.

Apacalypse, Please stop whining about the mean negative ads that Mitt ran. It’s childish and tiresome.

Au contraire Mademoiselle d’Danish, after all the misery you and your band of reprobates put Mike Huckabee and his supporters through during the Republican primaries, you are the last one to be complaining about someone else being childish and tiresome.

I do think Huck is doing a good job with his Fox show. See, I’m fair and balanced.

Like I’m suprised Mike is doing a fine job on Fox.

They saw what Sarah did on the trail and they know McCain held her back. They know she is a force to be reckoned with so they are giving a bit of payback and attempting to help themselves by attempting to destroy her political future on a national level.

Apacalypse,

Please stop whining about the mean negative ads that Mitt ran. It’s childish and tiresome. I do think Huck is doing a good job with his Fox show. See, I’m fair and balanced.

anybody who suggests that Mike Huckabee is behind these Palin smears is smoking the Devil’s lettuce…

Heh.

If you read this – if you merely open the page on which this comment appears – then you are demonstrate a willingness to testify under oath that Mike Huckabee is a five-dollar Trannie hooker with a terminal case of Mad Cow.

Thank you very much.

Mesa no tink so…

Apparently, Dwight from “The Office” is now posting on HotAir under the name apacalyps.

Here is something that has been bothering me. It has been said that these 2 guys were in Sarah’s room and she didn’t know they were there and all she is wearing is a towel/robe?

Just where the hell was Todd and the kids? This does not make any sense to me at all.

If you believe Newsweek’s version of events Todd was chillin’ in the room, and sat and talked to Salter and Schmidt (the two aides) after Sarah went to get dressed. Newsweek’s story makes it sound like Sarah was parading around in front of them in a towel, and that Todd was cool with his wife doing that. I may be crazy, but I don’t quite buy that.

Both Schmidt (in a call to Greta) and Sarah (in a radio interview in Alaska) say the incident never happened. If it did, Davis’ version sounds much more plausible to me then the way Newsweek portrayed it. Which leaves me to wonder: What else didn’t happen exactly as they portrayed it in the article?

Most troubling of all are the same people who refused to use rough politics on Obama have no problem using it on one of their own. Rinos gotta go.

Well, he must be observing things while on drugs because anybody who suggests that Mike Huckabee is behind these Palin smears is smoking the Devil’s lettuce.

Alan Colmes: Do you believe that Sarah Palin is ready, Day One, if God forbid something happens to John McCain?

Mike Huckabee: I think she’s far more ready to be President if something happens to McCain than Barack Obama would be if something doesn’t happen to McCain.

Cui bono? Huckabee and The Democrat Party. They are not aligned, but have the same goal, which is to destroy Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney.

Mesa no tink so. Mike Huckabee was one of the first political leaders who came out in support for Sarah Palin, as reported by Mr. Morrissey. Huckabee is a very very strong supporter of Palin! Romney? Mmm. Not so much. But, after that slimy excuse for a Republican hammered him with misleading attack ads, I don’t blame him for defending himself.

That is what we know.

Romney, Huckabee, Axelrod, Vladimir Putin? Who knows!

Not saying Huckabee is behind it, but it wouldn’t be surprising. Whisper campaigns are his style and he has certainly never demonstrated much concern for the future of the party versus his own self-interest.

You are a colossal moron because there is no proof to the contrary.

Cui bono, Ed? Due to his silence j’accuse John McCain himself. The miserable old fool needs to spend the rest of his time in the senate in silence.

onefinejay on November 8, 2008 at 1:21 PM

He does have a habit of stabbing fellow Republicans, especially the conservative ones, in the back when he doesn’t get his way on something and feels that it’s not his lack of energy, not his flawed thinking, not his inability to connect with the masses, that are to blame, but rather us conservatives being to “stupid” to march off the cliff behind him.

That and the only people McCain seems to be able to mount sustained attacks against are not Dems, but rather members his own party.

McCain being McCain?

His silence on the matter is deafening to be sure…

As I spread this rumor myself, I owe it to Romney and his supporters to put up a main-post about this. Not Romneyites. Note that Red State now says they’ve “confirmed” that Wallace and Schmidt are two of the three……

They were named by Schneumann as the ones who were out for Sarah Palin. He is either fired or comes close to being fired for this, and loe and behold we have the Schneumann prophecy come true. Then the backlash came, and suddenly they come on TV to say it wasn’t them, while John McCain is awfully busy with his barbecued ribs!

I am not a fan of Romney, but I fail to see the connection to him. He should never be the GOP candidate, but I don’t see the blood trail leading to him as yet. McCain looks more guilty than Romney!

We DO need to get to the bottom of this because we lost the election over it! RINO’s and semi-Democrats want to retain control of the party and lead the GOP to another disaster. McCain seems fine with getting his butt kicked as long as he is the centre of attention. We let the RINO’s and the liberal media set the agenda, and select the candidate and the result was a slaughter.

We need to name names, and take some heads!

Are you really this stupid? Why, yes, yes you are. Never ever sit on a jury.

Blake on November 8, 2008 at 4:33 PM

I have sat on 2 juries and I was appointed the forewoman of one of them.

You are an ignoramus who does not understand that in this country it is the burden of the prosecutor to prove guilt, not the burden of the accused to prove innocence.
