I’m getting rather sick of the Saul Alinsky tactics being played on Huckabee all of a sudden.

Gov Huckabee did not release the man suspected of killing 4 law enforcement officers. He commuted the suspect’s sentence in 2000 from 108 years to 47 years in prison. With a sentence of 47 years, an intervening party - a parole board - could decide whether he should be paroled or not. Huckabee did NOT set him free and did not parole him - but merely made it possible for him to be reviewed by others to make that decision. The now cop killer suspect was reviewed and paroled. He then violated parole. He was returned to prison in 2004. Some time later (I am not yet sure why), he was again paroled.

Sorry, but your reasoning is flawed. Here is the way it really works: If Huckabee hadn't commuted the killer's sentence he would never have been eligible for parole, and he wouldn't have been released, therefore Huckabee was totally responsible for he release and the myriad of crimes that have been committed by him. Other agencies and judges have also been complicit since his initial release, however, it boils down to what I previously said: No commutation, no initial release, no rapes and killings by this guy beyond his original crimes.

No one is using Alinsky tactics against Huckabee, this is not the only criminal who was set free by Huckabee. Read what the prosecutor who was in charge when Huck commuted his sentence, he outlined what was going to happen and it did.

Time for Huckabee to own up to his mistake.

No, your writing is flawed. Huckabee didn’t grant parole. A parole board had to decide if clemmons was ELIGIBLE/QUALIFIED for parole. Not Huckabee...what huckabee did, was give the case a chance by a parole board to decide IF the man qualified or not.
