"Hearing a loud noise and interrupting his speech, Huckabee said: "That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he—he dove for the floor."

I think we should lighten up and jokes not be taken too serious - and I still think this was really stupid.
People get investigated by the Secret Service for making jokes and comments about assassinations/assassination attempts.

Stupid comment by a man who will never hold national office.

He might have quipped about Hillary and “sniper fire” and gotten away with it but this one is will not play well

Fab...ulous! The Huckster just blew any chance of being VP. This is turning out to be quite a good news day. ;)

This doesn't just hurt him, but it hurts the reputation of responsible gun owners by suggesting that anyone at an NRA convention would do such a thing.
It reminds me of him doing this before when he went on a turkey or quail shoot in IA and took a shot over the heads of the reporters.
Well, no VP for you!

Talk about stepping on his own member.
Just another example of why Huckaboob isn’t fit for national office.
Why he continues is Arkansas is mystery enough, but those voters can decide who they want for governor.

Best to have this side of Huckleberry prominently displayed BEFORE he’s on anybody’s ticket for anything more than “Dogcatcher in Chief.”

Make no mistake - they'll tag McCain with this since McCain was there and addressed the same group.

Huckabee just had to do his best to divert attention away from Obama's appeasement remarks and today's Bush Derangement Disorder breakdown. Unfathomable stupidity, especially for someone angling for the VP spot.

The Secret Service takes such jokes very, very, very seriously.
