I agree. All Americans need to stand up to Mike Huckabee, the Republicans and FOX and say: ENOUGH of this nonsense!

if i want to know what liberal women are thinking, i always turn to mike huckabee.

Everyone knows that the best way to prolong orgasm is to just picture Mike Huckabee playing the base. (DUH):

Very inspiring.


As a gag reflex ?

I think you're missing the point. The issue is not whether or not he should be criticized/reprimanded for saying what he did. He's a public figure, words matter, and he should be thrown to the wolves for it (though it probably won't happen). The issue is whether or not he actually believes/endorses what was said. You watch the video, listen to his tone and his actions, consider who is audience is, and its pretty obvious that he's just getting carried away in the moment and doesn't realize the full import of what he's saying at that moment. For some reason, politicians on both sides of the aisle seem to forget that cameras and the internet exist.

This is no different from how the Republicans attempted to portray Howard Dean as mentally unhinged after footage of him getting exuberant at that one rally back in the day when in reality he was just getting carried away with the excitement of the moment.

That Imus guy was just making a joke too, a bad joke, but he got fired for what he said. Huckabee jokes that all Americans should be forced at gunpoint to listen to the brainwashing of David Barton and he's considered presidential material?
If a politician joked that everyone should be forced at gunpoint to listen/read Richard Dawkins, he'd be be hunted down and burned at the stake.

I'm no fan of huckabee, but you don't think this is taken just slightly out of context?
Guy was just making a joke...a bad joke, but a joke nonetheless.

Title Fail. First of all, obviously he is being tongue in cheek. Second of all, he technically says they should be forced to listen, not believe, or be indoctrinated or anything else. While he terrifies me (mostly because of his electability), he's not the craziest son of a bitch in jesus camp.

>> ^shuac:
Yes, he was just making a bad joke. If you insist on inferring more into it, help yourself.

Whatever, man. If you can honestly sit there and say with a straight face that you believe that Huck is honestly advocating indoctrination by gunpoint, then I guess we have nothing more to say.
Don't stoop to their level of punditry. Republicans have some shitty ideas and policies, but they are not mustache twirling villains.
Grow up.


I beg to differ...many, if not most of them -are- villains by any reasonable definition. Lying sacks of shit, who will say anything to get in a position to sell us out to big money. Just look at their actions, compared to their words...the two never seem to match, and in every mismatch, we (the middle class) take the difference in the shorts.

But even without that, I consider anyone who wants to give the rich more tax breaks by cutting teachers wages to be a villain. Those priorities are at best stupid (the last 30 years shows precisely how well Reaganomics works), and moving towards pure evil. It's the same as someone claiming that eating the seed corn is the best way to prosper, or that they can bring rain to end the drought if we only pay them enough, and should get the same treatment (tarring, feathering, and run them out of town on a rail).

How is this out of context? He isn't talking privately with a few people at a dinner party, he's addressing a group as a public figure and while he's saying this slightly tongue in cheek, it is VERY much in context. He feels forcing people to believe something at gunpoint it is "funny."

For example, if I was to "joke" that Christians should be rounded up into camps and forced to listen to Neil Tyson Degrass at gunpoint until the stupid left their little brains, do you think Mike Huckabee would find it funny?

That is pretty dangerous "humor."

Funny how NO one was talking about government at all, but now that you mention it, @NetRunner, @dystopianfuturetoday and I are proposing legislation to carefully monitor the caloric intake of every single American. If your intake is too high, we starve you; if it's too low, we force feed you. And we'll force feed you Muslim food, and take away your Christian food. And then we'll all be forcibly relocated to Kenya Indonesia.



Well? Isn't the left's answer to everything MOAR BIGGER GOVERNMENT? After all, the herd has to be ruled by a cabal of powerful geniuses who knows what's best for everyone. And isn't obamacare the PERFECT license to rule? Now you can withold medical care when a citizen chooses to live an unhealthy lifestyle.


Funny how you didn't mind the tyranny of the Bush regime when he presided over the biggest expansion of government in US history, but when someone tries to make sure that no one has to die for lack of insurance then suddenly it's tyranny. I've noticed as of late you've picked up blankfist's "statist" lingo, but you didn't mind it when Bush authorized the state to wiretap without warrants.


The Right was angry then and is still pi$$ed off now at fakeservative Bush's spending sprees (a drop in the bucket compared to the next guy). I wish the left took the threat of radical islam as seriously as those wiretaps, continued under His Earness.

Real freedom means people have the right to ruin their lives, and many do.
The tyrannical nanny-state alternative is far worse.

I just attended a lecture with Assanges Australian lawyers. They are seeking charges against Mike Huckabee for mental duress against Assange for calling for him to be assassinated. Hilarious.

I wonder how this isn't protected under the 1st amendment anyway. We are not in a time of war were the free speech threatens to erupt into a supreme emergency as it has in previous rescindments of the 1st ammendment protections. Furthermore, the latest leaks have done little more than embarrass and caused very little unrest.

Australias own prime minister (a former lawyer) has said that he is a criminal and has broken the law. When pressed as to what law he has broken she could not think of one as one does not exist under Australian law. However, we have our own version of the patriot act that enables ambigious charges to be laid upon undesirables. What is worst about this is that the Australian government has threatened to revoke Asssanges passport despite no crime being committed. Furthermore, the government does not have that power, it is outside their jurisdiction.

What assange has done is maybe irresponsible but hardly illegal. He did not steal the documents. He was not involved in the stealing of documents. While he may have profited from their release he has not done so in the form of blackmail etc. He has done what any journalist would do if they were in possession of these documents and yet Palin and Hucksterbee want him killed. Will that stop anything? He is merely the spokesman for an organisation.

OH NO HE DIDN'T

Did Stossel just ask his guest to respond to a quote of Mike Huckabee, his colleague?

*CRAP

John Candy isn't dead and he's living with Mike Huckabee?!!
