Huckagoguery
The Huckster is doing the dirty work for the Republican Party. If it's not about Obama's terrorist ties, it's about his youthful drug use.
(Bad as Huckabee is, the Bearslayers for McCain in North Carolina are worse.)
Speaking of Mike Huckabee: Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic continues to have the hots for him. Huckabee v. Palin for the heart and soul (forget minds) of the Republican Party in 2012.



Comments
The only time I ever hear what Huckabee is saying is when it's posted on here. I couldn't care less what he's saying.

Huckabuck's PETTINESS knows no limits. If this is the sheez he plans to use in twenty 12 then the fellow has a long way to go. A very long way.
>>"Can you tell me anybody that sorted out who it was that supplied Barack Obama the drugs that he claimed in his own book to have taken? No," said Huckabee when asked about what issues are relevant in the campaign.<< Huck.
Of course the answer was NO . Jeesh, who could have guessed it. How dumbed down must an audience be.
Huck lots of us bought lots of weed back in the 60s and 70s and personally, most are like Barack, we didn't take names.
....................BETTER QUESTION: ........................................
Which physician did Rev Gov Huckabee's stomach staples?

Look this is part of politics....did any of you notice the "hit piece" on Cindy McCain in the NYTimes? If it is okay to go after a presidential hopeful's WIFE with petty issues...then it is probably okay to go after a presidential hopeful with petty issues. Obama used drugs big whoopie! But where is the media splashing it on their front pages? Where is the media splashing his father son type mentorship with a self proclaimed sexual deviant?
If Cindy McCain held a long time relationship with a fascist radical who admitted to sexual crimes...like Obama's relationship with a communist radical who admitted to sex crimes...don't you think that would be front page news? Not for Obama though?
How about comparing apples-to-apples...where is the front page news on Michelle Obama's racist thesis from school? And, why was it put under lock and key for so long?
Huckabee is no more out of line than the NY times is every single day.

>Obama used drugs big whoopie! But where is the media splashing it on their front pages? "
Because Obama splashed it himself in his own book not that you noticed it has been mentioned
a zillion times during the campaign.
You may not have noticed but there is a difference between a former candidate taking on
Obama and the NYT doing reporting. Recall it was the NYT which happened to pursue
the hardest allegations against President Clinton.
Overall, MAK, I just love how desperate people react. Yes sweetie, you are a reactionary.
Looking for my Looong list of Republican Perv prosecutions/convictions.

You liberals are friggin' unbelievable.
Huck was responding to the vial attacks by the New York Times on Cindy McCain's drug use in the past. Huck was only responding that the New York Times makes this the story of the day, but they haven't said one word about Obama's admitted cocaine use and that he still hangs out with his drug dealer. The NYT makes it an election issue to go after McCain's wife, but Obama's drug use is off limits. That is the just of what the Huck said on his show.
It's amazing to me how you liberals accept the kind of behavior to attack McCain's wife or Sarah Palin's daughter, and Joe the Plummer....but mention one thing about Obma's Ties to Ayers, ACORN, Obaman's Drug use, Michelle Obama's not being proud to be an American, Senator Biden's guarantee of an international conflict (if Obama elected), or the fact that Obama is a Freshman Senator with no experience...and all bets are off.

.but mention one thing about Obma's
-Ties to Ayers.. Surely you jest. If there is more than 127 Americans who have not heard this issue then I might drink my own piss. My God, don't you people ever pay attention to America's favorite channels, FOX and CNN. Ayers has been all over those networks, dozens of time.
So that one is bullshit or BIG "B"
-ACORN, how many Acorn stories have I heard. Not less than 50 in the past two weeks and I watch the news channels about 2 hours per day, read newspapers daily.
So more bullshit on that one. Well covered but half of it is only half true.
You must have a way to justify your upcoming BIG Loss on Nov 4. Big "B".
-Michelle Obama's not being proud to be an American," Called out on it 12 times that I saw.
Bet you were not born black in America were you catfish bait?
Ok another BIG "B" on that one.
-Obaman's Drug use, geesh how much milage do you-ins expect from one self-confessional!
The man laid it out in print. did a Mea Culpa. He was a teenager. George Bush admitted privately to smoking dope. Others say he was into coke too. JFK smoked some weed. How many previous presidents used heroin when it was still legal? "W" had to get help with hs alcoholism. Now he's just a dry-drunk.
You get a big "B" for bullshit on this one too.
-Senator Biden's guarantee of an international conflict "
Suddenly Joe Biden matters? Seems just yesterday Wingnuts were saying he's a loud-mouthed
screw-up and says weird, unsubstantiated stuff. Which is it? Joe Biden is to be believed when campaigning? Can't poo-poo him when you wish then use him as a source of truth.
So another BIG "B" for bullshit.
Btw, George H.W. Bush the 41st president of USA, was a "WIMP" according to Ronald Reagan,
40th President of USA. Do you accept that campaign rhetoric as truth? Was Bush I a wimp cause Reagan said so?
-Obama is a Freshman Senator with no experience."
Oh gee, let's see, you're bottom fishing catfish. That was the VERY FIRST mantra that FOX news used against him, AFTER Hillary used it, after Biden used it, then McBush used it.
Earned your self another "B."
Risky.
Inexperienced
Trust?
Too new.
Again I love to watch desperate people bottom fish and go batshit crazy.
Fun, Fun, Fun till your daddy takes the T-Bird away.
Keep fishing. You've lost.
Big Time.

Catfish,
DO you know who introduced Obama to the organization Ayers is (admirably) involved in? Look it up... they are tied to Ayers and McCain (raising serious funds) much more.
Nobody fumed like a juvenile over that NYT article (keeping the story alive) more than hypocritical Republicans, like John and Huck.
Joe, neither goes by the name Joe, nor is he a licensed plumber... nor is he likely to ever earn 250k per year in his lifetime... which at worst under Obama's plan would increase his taxes 700 per year. Cry me a river.. we have to pay for all your needless expensive wars and about 15 trillion dollars worth of other debts incurred just under Bush II. More debt than all other presidents combined...way more.
What exactly makes you a proud American today? And what Michelle said was - for the first time in a while...she was proud.
Biden isn't my favorite person when it comes to war policy either, but he is one hundred times the man, the human being, the capable public servant compared to any of the current neo nuts in the Bush McCain camp.
And 25 years of McCain experience should horrify you if you actually look at his deeds, not his words. Obama, nowhere near as bad.. nowhere near.
Wake up man.. McCain is flat out dangerous on every level. He's experienced at screwing things up 90 plus percent with Bush. He does not learn from his mistakes...he keeps repeating them.
Enough!

and I'll match you tit-for-tat elwood.
Obama has zero accomplishments outside of his campaign....and I know you agree with me because I have posted the accomplishments question here before elwood and no one here has been able to explain what exactly his professional accomplishments are.
But you just keep your little head in the sand. Yes all of ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR and most newspapers are in the tank for Obama. He gets more time in general (more positive and less negative) than McCain..but you cannot admit this because you will need to validate (I mean blame) Obama's loss on something. And, you won't want to blame it on his out of touch, lack of experience, lack of qualifications, lack of accomplishments.
Liberal-hypocrisy, there exists no strong oxymoron. Next up...it is okay for Obama to ban reporters from his plane...but not McCain...whaaaa, I am a whiney liberal, victim to all! boo-hoo he has more money than me...give me some of his money...whaaaa

Nice of you to answer the 'questions', eLwood...but the answers have been given before and they seem to roll off like water on a duck.
It's not OK for any media to trash anyone, including politicians (different standards), without some sort of evidence to back up the trash. I haven't read the Cindy article; I have heard about it. Anything they ask of Cindy's life is OK to ask of Michelle's...it's not that complicated...unless deliberately made so to obfuscate the ridiculousness of the accusations. But, IN GENERAL, right wingers tend to use blanket accusations of a mythical liberal media as an inane smokescreen for losing candidates, losing arguments. The liberal media is a fictional construct of the right wing...'cause the truth is it's the corporate media that determine what's covered, what's not covered. People like Murdoch.
Michelle Obama has been covered every bit as much as Cindy McCain. And the same is true for their husbands. I did, however, wonder which one, McSame/Obama, the media was going to pick as their favorite, given that both have received some light-handed 'special' coverage.
MsSame will lose primarily because Republicans sold out the country when it installed an incompetent legacy in the White House and then proceeded to run the economy into the ground...just like they abandoned/failed New Orleans. It won't be because Cindy is picked on and Michelle is loved. Or because the Democrats are innocent of wrongdoing.

Saw the Huckster and daughter in the St Louis airport today. It was great to know he was not in the last days of campaigning for the presidency. He would be doing better than McCain right now...scary thought.
