Priebus Slams Huckabee: ‘Don’t Offer Up Lobs’ to Dems for Criticism
National Review Online ^ | 01/27/2014 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 01/27/2014 9:52:07 AM PST by thetallguy24

​Mike Huckabee isn’t getting flak from just the Left and the media for last week’s “libido” comments — Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said Huckabee needs to be more careful with his choice of words and what he wants to portray.

“You have to accept the political world we live in in the sense that you cannot offer up words like ‘libido’ — wherever that came from,” Priebus told MSNBC on Monday. “You don’t offer up lobs, set-ups, passes, and serves that allows Democrats to spike the ball.”

Had he chosen a different way to get his point across, Huckabee’s message wouldn’t have been “overshadowed” by the ensuing coverage, Priebus added.

Maybe Huckabee will now wake up and see who his "friends" really are.

For those of you who don't know the background:

A broken clock is right twice a day....Huckster’s comments were incredibly politically tone deaf.

Please spare us from another run, Huckster.

“You have to accept the political world we live”

Let’s take that statement to its logical conclusion: There is absolutely no reason to have an opposition party. The political world we live in is not acceptable. Listen, Patrick Henry wants to tell Rinse Pre-buss something.

Yup! Accept the left’s war on language and step lightly through the battlefield. There will come a day when conservative men will not be able to talk about women or women’s rights, if it’s not here already.

Not a huge Huck fan, but what was objectionable about his comments? Seemed spot on to me.

I always apply a test....Could I imagine Reagan saying the same thing?

I would imagine he wouldn’t quite phrase it in the way Huckster did.

Priebus and Huckabee squaring off?

It’s like watching the Steelers play the Ravens... I just hope for both teams to come out critically wounded.

To quote a well known grifter bimbo who never has and never will create anything of value: “What difference does it make?”

The GOP is no more! It has ceased to be! Its expired and gone to meet its maker! Its stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! Its metabolic processes are now ‘istory! Its off the twig! Its kicked the bucket, its shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARTY!! (apologies tot he Python gang)

I mean we’ve got all this crap going on in the White House with the economy, a disastrous foreign policy....and Huckster wants to try to gain listeners for his radio show by talking about “Libidos.”
