Huck Looks for Black Helicopters
nationalreview.com ^ | 02/02/08 | [Mark R. Levin]

This is incredible. Mike Huckabee accuses Sean Hannity, who has announced he will vote for Mitt Romney on Tuesday, of being influenced by Bain Capital, which Huckabee says owns Sean's network — Clear Channel.

First, the facts. Bain is trying to buy Clear Channel, or parts of it. Clear Channel does own many radio stations. Sean appears on many of their stations, as do many of us. But Sean's syndication partner is ABC Radio Networks, which was recently acquired by Citadel Broadcasting.

So, not only does Huckabee get his facts wrong, like most conspiracy kooks, he makes a scurrilous charge — in his usual matter-of-fact way — and then admits he really doesn't know. Here's the video.

Not enough attention is given this tendency we've seen from Huckabee. In South Carolina, where the Confederate flag issue was largely settled, he brought up during campaign stops to agitate for support. It was utterly irresponsible act. And then there was his devil-worship line about the Mormon faith, which was intended to raise questions about Romney's religion.

This is disgraceful stuff.

At first I was very impressed with Huck. He was an unabashed Christian and made no apologies for it. That was refreshing. Now though, he’s revealed as just another lying politician willing to do or say anything to satisfy his own ambition. This embarrasses the faith and the sooner Huck is gone the better. Politics corrupts everything it touches.

Considering Levin is in the tank for an equally worthless moderate, its pott/kettle syndrome.

Can we have the exact quote, in context, from Huckabee?

Did he say anything about Black Helicopters?

I don’t believe a word of this.

He said, “Just because we didn’t find all the Easter eggs doesn’t mean they weren’t planted.”

Oh, my mistake. That was one of his good-ol-boy quips about WMD’s.

Sean was so in the tank for Rudy it was embarassing. I had never heard someone so in love with a candidate before. Why didn’t the Huckster comment on that?

That did surprise me. I wonder if anyone in the media can make a truly independent choice.

Huckabee will not win the nominee, but he is far from irrelevant. By remaining in the race he is dividing up the vote to keep McCain in the lead. Don’t know if it is intentional or not, but that is the result.

And just think, if Huck really had that theology degree which he lied about having in Iowa, he might know which portion of scripture you were alluding to!

“Go the distance Huckabee. Put on your Armour.”

(Whispers) “Yeah, float a few more crosses in your adds Huckster. No one will notice but everyone will vote for you as the true Christian.

Gosh, I seem to think the Bible says something about bearing false witness. You’d think a “Christian leader” would be aware of that. Its in some obscure part like the 10 Commandments, as I recall.

I suspect that Huckabee was put up as a candidate by the Clintons in order to derail Romney.

That’s a more plausible conspiracy theory than anything Huckabee could come up with.

Mike is fond of scurrils.

If he is not God’s choice he won’t win. If he is, there is not one thing anyone can do about it, no matter how hard they try. Can we agree on that?
