Mike Huckabee Huck at the RNC: Obama supports murder

Posted by David Koon on Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 4:49 PM

Mike Huckabee's foot seems to have a summer place in his left cheek these days. First, he was siding with Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin by saying — and we are in no way making this up — that rape is bad and all, but a lot of really flippin' awesome people are the product of rape.

Now, Huckabee has managed to lay out a fibulance so big it might wind up being the King Whopper of all lies spun for the faithful at the Republican National Convention in Tampa: that Barack Obama is kinda okay with murder.

From Huckabee's speech:

Let me clear the air about whether guys like me would support an evangelical. Of the four people on the two tickets, the only self-professed evangelical is Barack Obama, and he supports changing the definition of marriage, believes that human life is disposable and expendable at any time in the womb or even beyond the womb, and tells people of faith that they must bow their knees to the god of government and violate their faith and conscience in order to comply with what he calls health care...

Somebody hunt up grandma's hat and shawl. It's time for her appointment at The Death Panel.

Petit Porker update

Several readers have written asking for an update on the case of W.P. Sooie, the Vietnamese pot-bellied pig which Little Rock animal control is trying to evict from the city on the contention that the 58-pound pig is "livestock," even though there's a specific exemption for pot-bellied pigs in another section of the municipal code that prohibits keeping hogs in the city.
