I Don't <3 Huckabee (Laughable, concentrated idiocy)
The Huffington Post's The Blog ^ | May 12, 2015 | Eoin Higgins, writer and historian

And now Mike Huckabee, the Gomer Pyle of unadulterated hatred masquerading as good ol' religion, has, again, joined the Republican race for the presidency.

Distressed because of the success Ted Cruz has had making inroads to the virulent right wing religious/racist base of the Christian Right, Huckabee made sure to fluff his announcement with the prerequisite xenophobia necessary to show he's still The One. A little mention of the evils of Islam here, a little homophobic red meat there- Huck's on the move to shore up those right wing evangelical votes.

The problem is that Huckabee's all hat and no cattle. While his views and beliefs are as necessarily noxious as needed to be a contender for the right wing's mainstream political party, his delivery of this message falls apart in its failure to bring the brimstone. The electorate Huckabee would need to win over to secure the Republican nomination isn't interested in winning -- it's interested in ideological purity.

This is not to suggest that in the intervening years since 2008 Mike Huckabee has not been spewing invective at every opportunity. His weekend television show (on Fox News, naturally) was devoted to serving up unadulterated hate speech with an Arkansas twang...

You don't have to like Mike Huckabee as a person or a candidate to laugh at and scorn this fool of an author.

Such hate and bile. I think Eoin Higgins is mistaking the Huff Post blog for his therapist's couch.

There are many thousands of fools like Mr. Higgins. Graduates of learned institutions with advanced degrees in advanced stupidity. My punishment for Mr. Higgins: make him live amongst the people he champions.

Homosexual by trade, by religion, by bigotry, or by hatred?

The leftists keeps making up its own language. Soon their inane screeds will be unintelligible to normal people.

Oh dear.....where’s the trigger warning on that? Think I’ll have to go color some unicorn pictures to get over it.

How can people read this crap?

I am an American and I am slandered foully because I have a different lifestyle than this author. The most prejudiced in this land are the leftists who would have us all shot if they could.

All people who follow a religion are racists? Are black Christians exempt? Are Muslims? Are gay clergy exempt? Practicing Jews? Hispanic Catholics?

Their views are so hypocritical I can’t believe they can even present them in writing. It makes such little sense.
