Huckabee says he probably will not run in 2012; UPDATE: Tacoma cop killer was freed by Huckabee

The man wanted in this morning's shooting deaths of four Washington State police officers was granted clemency by then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee nine years ago.

So? What are you saying? It’s Bush’s fault?

Huck’s words on this.

[ClearCase_guy]

Not a Huckabee fan, but if the guy was freed 9 years ago, I think there may be some distance between the one event and the killing of 4 cops in WA.

[ChuckHam]

Yep, the liberal clown Huckster blames it on someone else. That liberal clown signed the order releasing the killer.

[pollywog]

what about his pardon? He blamed it on the Parole Board?

[jackibutterfly]

Man, I HATE when they use the word “tragedy” when it is an “ATROCITY”!!! ATROCITY! ATROCITY! ATROCITY! WHY can’t they say it?

[Lurker]

The perp was supposed to serve a 60 year sentence. If it weren’t for that idiot Huckabee commuting his sentence those cops would be alive today.

[machogirl]

Noticed that he’s side stepping on himself.

[martinidon]

I would focus on the people responsible for his release on bail 2 months ago for assault of a police officer and child rape.

[Berlin_Freeper]

If they said it, it would be more like this:

alleged ATROCITY

[oldbill]

Hey - that’s only one guy.

The Huckster wants to give amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens too. That should get a lot of cops killed too.

[machogirl]

When I read his statement, it didn’t at all jive about what I had read actually happened. He’s spinning away, just like most politicians.

[bigred08]

Are you freaking kidding me? He was supposed to serve 60 years in Arkansas. The Huckster let him out early. He has a long history of this kinda of douchebaggery.

[Spartan79]

He had far more than nine years to serve on his sentence. Huckleberry’s political career will never recover from this if it turns out that four cops would still be alive if he had not pardoned the man. (Another young woman in KC has already been killed by a beneficiary of a Huckleberry pardon.)

Welp. Huckabee said he isnt running in 2012. Now its for certain.

Kind of a shame in a way. I think he has the communication skills we need. Its a shame he isnt more conservative.

[Deo volente]

It’s not the first time for Huckabee. Wayne Dumond went on to rape and kill a woman in 2000, after being granted clemency in 1996.

“Dear Wayne,” Huckabee wrote in a letter to Dumond. “My desire is that you be released from prison. I feel that parole is the best way for your reintroduction to society to take place.”

Thank you Lurker!

Huck Suxx !!!!

[PhiKapMom]

No one would listen about Huckabee in 2008 when things like this were pointed out — instead attacks would start against the poster.

Is Wayne Dummond Amish too?
