Arkansas Blog

If there is no other reason to hold Huckabee accountable for his official misconduct it is so that his potential constituency knows what they are getting into.

Does America need yet another fundamentally corrupt administration? President Huckabee does seem like a long shot, but stranger things have happened.

Perhaps the New York Times will send ace reporter Jeff Gerth to Arkansas to get all the facts on Huckabee.

So, apparently, the great open minds who run this blog want to censor me for pointing out that I wasn't wrong that Maryland courts have found that it's ERA did require gay marriage to be allowed.

I can be here all day. I guess you've figured out that if the average Arkansan or even the average legislator finds this out, ERA will not be passed in Arkansas.

ARK. BLOG: I don't know what happened on that. I went to add a comment and it disappeared. But if you throw the censor B.S. around again I will censor you.

Your info is incomplete, of course. That's a Balitmore city court ruling, on appeal, that was argued last month. The ERA is not the sole argument in favor of same-sex marriages there. It is also rooted in constitutional equal protection, an argument that can, and has been raised, under the U.S. Constitution, ERA or no ERA. The only controlling precedents in the U.S. (and Baltimore city court covers only Baltimore city court) are against your position.

"ARK. BLOG: I don't know what happened on that. I went to add a comment and it disappeared. But if you throw the censor B.S. around again I will censor you."

Oooh, I'm scared. What would you think if a comment which you posted that disagreed with the blogger disappeared??? I'll your buy your explanation. But, you ought to apologize not threaten to censor me for assuming the obvious.

Who cares if it's a city court??? And who cares if it's not the sole argument??? It's obvious that ERA has been interpreted as an impetus for gay marriage. I don't think you want people to know that. I don't know why it is that liberals aren't brave enough to announce their true intentions. That may not be one of your intentions, but you know that it's a possible outcome and you know that the people of Arkansas won't be happy about that. And I assume that you support gay marriage, so just admit it and see if your ideas can stand on their own merits.

Or, you could just censor me.

By the way, I've copied this page and I'll be happy to show it to everybody if you decide to make good on your threat to censor me.

"P. S. I posted this earlier, but Max or Warwick censored that post.

So, was it a mistake to remove this post, too?

ARK. BLOG: No it wlas removed intentionally because 1) you are a liar, there was a glitch not a censor 2) I addressed the item in the earlier post. You were warned. Adios.

You sure are open-minded.

Oh well, Annoymouse was such a playmate. I've always thought Annoymouse is a generic location where several people post from, like the Ark Family bunch, or a Young Republican office, or all of them.

Go Huckabeen, Go!

The longer you stay away the better for many of us.

Some of us would even contribute to your PAC if you would tell them you're from Mississippi, or somewhere!

I didn't see it linked here but E.J. Dionne had a column last week for the Wash Post, I saw it in the Commercial Appeal, that talked about Huckabee's chances.
Dionne said good, but he also quoted some rag called Arkansas Times and said that if Huckabee did declare, that the Times would be a "must-read."
Given Max's shameless sense of self-promotion, I was a little surprised that it wasn't up here.
I also wonder if Huckabee's contributed editorial for this Sunday, the one that caused some buzz on here, isn't an embargoed declaration of his running for President.

ARK. BLOG: We posted it the day it appeared and noted his kind reference to us. If you don't shamelessly promote yourself, who will?

My understanding is that the op-ed is about the hard drives, not his candidacy. But maybe it will be a two-fer.

Just for fun in your browser window type in www.mikehuckabee.com

Somebody beat the Huffabee campaign to the punch.

Anybody know whose website it is?

Dear Anonymous:

Thanks you for standing up against the perils that homo marriages present.

If fags are allowed to get hitched, my own marriage will cease to exist--implode under the weight of knowing that some fags can file a joint tax return!!!!

This is trully a good enough reason to say to hell with equal rights for women. Don't these heifers know that god put men in charge for a reason and that we have an inate right to more that 50%? We are NOT equals so why should they have equal rights?!

Keep fightin them homos, Anon!!!

Summing up anon's position: "If we grant equal rights to women, gay people will also want them!"

You know, I think your homophobia is just a little too strident. Perhaps you should consider coming out of the closet.

Does anybody else find it a bit ironic that Anonymous is complaining about ERA and gays and then gets upset when censorship is mentioned? He wants you to deny rights in one breath and then wants his rights in the next.
Is it no surprise that a man who sees the "obvious" subversive plots associated with the ERA also immediately sees a computer glitch as censorship and an ungodly cabal at work to deny him freedom of expression (which he wants to deny for others)?
Despite our differences, I hold Don Kehotay, Arkansas Red, and Prouster in kind regard for their restrained comments. They, along with a few other conservatives on this blog, try to persuade one to their point of view. I don't sense a tone of moral superiority being pushed down my throat nor "the sky is falling" diatribe which supports those catering to fearmongering.
I guess a certain savage bitterness drives the uglier and more uncivil arguments.
Well, maybe some people just need to adjust their medication.

Great update guys - is there any way to get this info to Russert's producers?

You sure are open-minded.

That's a good one.

ac360...google Meet the Press.... down toward the bottom on the right side is a link to send an e-mail.
Being the cynic I am it probably won't do any good but it sure as hell won't cost anything. Who knows...if enough people e-mail them they might not play softball with him.

My butt has all these little holes in it from sitting on pins and needles, awaiting the Huckster's announcement. That'll be a truly monumental day for America.

Hey, anon,
I'm a "people of Arkansas" and I'm all for gay marriage and happy about it. Even before I was for that, I was for ERA. I grew up holding campaign signs. And I'm a fourth generation Arkansan. And best of all, I'm teaching the children of this state. God Bless America!
