Mike Huckabee Under Fire for Referring to Abortion Deaths as "Holocaust"

If murdering over 3500 people a day for over three and a half decades isn't a holocaust I don't know what is.

He shouldn’t worry. More people will vote for him for that position than will vote against him. I never understand why the Jewish community votes overwhelmingly Democrat.

[Jim Robinson]

It's an American Holocaust. It shames us all.

If murdering over 3500 people a day for over three and a half decades isn't a holocaust I don't know what is.

Its an understatement....

[Petronski]

Of all the reasons to put fire on the Huckster, THIS is not it.

Abortion in America has killed so many people I’ve lost count.

[neodad]

Don’t call it a Genocide. We’ll get the Turks mad at us.

“Holocaust”

As horrible as the Holocaust was, it pales in comparison to the 50 million plus babies murdered in America since Roe v. Wade.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

It is especially ridiculous when one considers that the term ‘Holocaust’ was not coined for what the Nazis did. It is from the Bible and refers to the pagan practice of sacrificing children to their gods! Strictly speaking it is more appropriate for the abortion holocaust than for the Nazi holocaust.

[livius]

He’s absolutely right. If we actually had all those aborted children with us now, we wouldn’t have a thing to worry about from the Muslims. In fact, even immigration wouldn’t be a problem, because we would have enough people to do our jobs.

Under-population is a far greater problem for a country than overpopulation, and in fact was probably one of the things that led to the fall of Rome.

[ODC-GIRL]

Have to say I agree with Huckabee on this. The deliberate extermination of millions of people qualifies as a holocaust in my book. I don’t think that fact diminishes the Jewish experience during WWII at all.

[Sudetenland]

Your comment pretty much sums it up...literally. 3500 unborn children/day X 365 days/year x 35 years = >44,000,000 pretty much as many as were killed in WWII including the Jews in death camps, and the number killed by Stalin.

Or another way of expressing it, more thatn 7 times the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust.

[jeffers]

Jews don’t own the word “holocaust”.

Nobody does.

Back off my First Amendment rights, or try to back up the claim with force, because whining means nothing to me.

[Jim Robinson]

And nominating Rudy is a vote for continuing the holocaust. No thank you. Rudy needs to be flushed from the Republican party, before he flushes it.

[wagglebee]

Actually, there has been about a 20% drop in abortion since the early 1990s (I have a feeling that women born in the late 1960s and early 1970s began realizing how lucky they had been and wanted to extend the same gift of life to the next generation), so the true number very close to 50 MILLION (in fact it will probably hit 50 million early next year, right around the 35th anniversary of Roe).

The more Orthodox Jews generally prefer to call it Shoah.

"I never understand why the Jewish community votes overwhelmingly Democrat."

Me neither. One of the enduring mysteries.

Jews don’t own the word “holocaust”.

Yes they do.
And if you deny it, you’re an anti-semitic nazi!
