Pinkerton: Huckabee's focus: 'broken humanity

Hmm, could there be a corollary between the anti-black congregants Huckabee had to deal with 25 years ago, and the vociferous critics(especially on FR) he has today?

[elizabetty]

Mike Huckabe makes George Bush look like a hardass.

Bleeding heart liberals have no place in the GOP leadership.

[lesser_satan]

You're equating those of us who oppose amnesty for illegals, clemency for murderers, higher taxes, increased spending, nanny statism, utter ignorance on foreign policy, and a general pattern of corruption and fiscal liberalism, with racists?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Huckabee's entire campaign has been based on calling those who question his record and lack of serious policy proposals and substance of being Christian-bashers and "moneycons".

The REAL Mike Huckabee

[org.whodat]

Well if the dope from hope wants to run for Arkansas preacher of the week are something I’ll vote for, on second thought given they grief he has caused by his liberal policy's of letting perverts out of jail. I think he needs to spend the rest of his days repenting. And no more furniture stealing.

[ejonesie22]

WOW!

That is like the stupidest thing I have seen you say yet!

Good work, I am hard to surprise...

[DogandPonyShow]

Huckabee looks like a loser to me.

[claudiustg]

More importantly could there be a corollary between his actions 25 years ago and what he will do about the 20 million plus illegal invaders in our country if he is inaugurated in 2009?

Huckabee is "compassionate conservatism" on steroids.

President Bush has at least been hardnosed on some issues--notably the war on terror. So far we have very little idea what Huckabee's foreign policy would be like.

[libbylu]

Ding dang, did you just call me a racist? Are you huck under a fake name?

[lesser_satan]

So far we have very little idea what Huckabee's foreign policy would be like.

I doubt if the Dope from Hope knows himself. His ignorance on foreign policy is absolutely staggering.

“Hmm, could there be a corollary between the anti-black congregants Huckabee had to deal with 25 years ago, and the vociferous critics(especially on FR) he has today?”

As a supporter of Governor Huckabee, that insinuation seems counterproductive to me. If some of his critics here are racists, it’s probably not going to persuade them to support him. His critics here who aren’t racists—presumably the vast majority—are likely to feel falsely accused and thereby alienated.

For the record, Governor Huckabee once said a specific piece of legislation did more harm than good partly because it inflamed racists. He’s never said that everyone who disagrees with his position on that or any other issue is a racist. I actually disagree with his position on that issue myself.

Ding dang, did you just call me a racist?

Dane calls everyone who doesn't want wholesale, unrestricted importation of illegal labor at slave wages a racist. It's the only card in his deck, and even as tattered and pitiful as it is, he seems to believe it trumps things still.

It's the standard Sharpton/Jackson tactic of declaring anyone who disagrees with your characterization of an issue as some sort of neanderthal extremist, right at the outset.

[indcons]

Ahh...Dane. Using the good old race card, aren’t you? I ought you used this only on your pro-illegal posts but I guess this particular card has multiple uses.

BTW, are you for the Huckster because he is a criminal/illegal supporter like you?

[LexBaird]

Church Elders quitting over a Black guy sitting in on a sermon in 1982? I'd like to hear some independant corroboration on that tale. Frankly, the tale sounds suspiciously like another Arkansas governor's recollection of Black church burnings.

Any Pine Bluff FReepers ever hear of this story before?

How very Clinton of you. Are you to, one of these that claim the law was done away with?

[pissant]

There could be a corollary between race pimps like Al Sharpton and a couple of race pimp freepers.

[pissant]

My thoughts exactly.

[unspun]

That's your response to inviting a black man to visit one's church? Whew.

[roses of sharon]

LOL, Huck was questioning Mormons about their doctrine today in the NY papers.

While running for President of the United States, mind you.

I would say he is the vociferous one!
