Those funny things called FACTS are actually quite important.
Facts are funny things aren’t they.
Something to read before jumping on the Hate Huck bandwagon...
This doesn’t sway me one bit. I consider anyone who commits more than one serious crime a perpetual danger to society.
Watch the Factor interview he did with Bill O’Reilly the other day. He didn’t apologize nor did he take full responsibility for his decision. He got on national TV and blamed the judge and the prosecutors of the case. I don’t hate Huck, I just think he’s a weasel.
In 1988, Mike Dukakis was considered unfit for president (and deservedly so) for the same exact reason. Being a religious conservative does not mitigate the fact that when it comes to crime, Huckabee is a bleeding heart who put his own personal beliefs (of redemption) above the public safety of the citizens he swore to protect.
lulz
Huckabee got the ball rolling. The commutation made Clemmons immediately eligible for parole.
Huckabee is as culpable as everyone else who enabled this to happen.
Huck it still a RINO and I am glad to see him fall.
[Most of these spared little thought for the families]
I can’t speak for others but that was the a primary motive for denouncing the governor, that and the lives of the murdered policemen.
Yes,facts are funny things and MAIN fact is his commutation LED to the deaths of these policeman. You can sugarcoat it all you like but that FACT can not be in dispute.
I find it amazing that somehow you can bring Romney into your analysis as to why people are disturbed by the actions of Huckabee. THAT has to be speculation not FACT.
You ‘reasoned perspective’ is just a myopic vision of the truth.
I don’t hate Huck, I just love squirrels! Not really, I hate Squirrels and all politicians from ARKANSAS!
Once an animal—always an animal. The thought of letting this animal out should never have occurred to anyone.
(At this point in time, Huckabee’s involvement with Clemmons was over.)
Laughable. Without Huckabee this psycho is still in jail on the conviction that Huckabee tampered with to get him out. Period.
Kevin McCullough has a lot of nerve to write this article FWIW. Blaming the deaths of 4 cops on Mitt Romney or his supporters is the the epitome of stupid too. Neither he nor they had anything to do with the commutation of that monsters sentence. I ain’t a big Romney supporter. I think he’s a weasel too. I’ll take this article with a large grain of salt, and come to the conclusion Kevin McCullough is a Huck-a-phony supporter.
After Willie Horton was pardoned by Mike Dukakis in Massachusetts, Horton went on to commit his subsequent crimes in Maryland. But the bottom line is that it was Mike Dukakis who set him free. In fact, I think it is even more egregious that Clemmons went to a different state to commit his crimes. The people of Washington State did not deserve to suffer for the poor decision of Gov. Huckabee any more than the Maryland citizens should not have had to suffer for the poor decision of Gov. Dukakis up in Massachusettes.
Only desperation to spin Huckabee's culpability would lead one to write the above.
His original sentence made him ineligible for parole for a VERY long time.
Huck started the ball rolling.
Sorry, you can't put a shine on that sneaker.
I have never particularly liked Huckabee, but the way some people (Romney supporters, in their majority, I understand) are turning every thread on this into a hate-Huckabee festival is ridiculous.
He was but one of many factors and has not had any involvement with this for almost a decade. In the meanwhile, we’re completely ignoring the WA judge who let this guy out on bail just a couple of months ago, and ignoring the whole lousy parole system in two states that for years never supervised him or did its job (which would have been to return him to jail for the rest of his sentence).
In fact, I read that one of the conditions of his second parole in AR was that he leave the state and go to WA, where he had family. So everybody was essentially passing him around and now they all want to scream that it wasn’t their fault and point their fingers at an unpopular political figure, which they are being assisted in doing by the sufferers of Huckabee Derangement Syndrome on this board.
