Too little, too late. The Huckster is burnt pond scum.

No, 4 cops are dead because of a man who is not Huckabee. Whether that is Clemmons or not remains to be seen. Last I heard he was just “a person of interest”, they are not even saying he’s the prime suspect!

The hysteria from the talk show people like Glenn Beck (another Romneyite) is false and political, not heartfelt or objective.

You did not respond to the poster who detailed the criminal record of Clemmons, the criminal record that got him the long jail sentence that Hucksterbee commuted down to something a parole board could free him from.

You did not respond to that.

You either did not read it, or worse, you read it and choose to ignore it. Much like your mentor, Hucksterbee, you are avoiding the facts to make long pointless arguments about nothing.

Thousands of feral 16 year old males need to be executed in this country. No criminal, no crime. Criminals cause crime.

You are obviously delusional. This probably contributes to your affinity for Huckabee.

That doesn’t explain why the first site to break the story was Huffpo and the comments there were similar to the comments here. The libs really believe the best candidate they can beat is Sarah Palin because they see her as weak (since she gave up her governorship prematurely and other reasons).

I have no problem with fingers pointing at Huckabee as being a reason this guy continued him crime spree, ending with the death of four officers. As long as those fingers are also pointing at the many others that time and time again failed to put public safety first. Between Arkansas and Washington, there is a whole list of people who should of found reason enough to keep this POS off the street. Case in point, he was being charged in Washington for his “Third Strike”, and if convicted would face Life in prison. (Washington has a Three Strikes your out Law). What Judge in his right mind would let him out on bail with a Life sentence facing him? Especially after receiving the Psych Report.....

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - A court-ordered psychological evaluation of Maurice Clemmons in October found that he was a risk to public safety, but that there was insufficient reason to commit the man who allegedly went on to kill four Lakewood police officers over the weekend.

Clemmons told the psychologists he hallucinated about “people drinking blood and people eating babies, and lawless on the street, like people were cannibals.”

He went on to say he had “no faith in the justice system” and that he thought he was being “maliciously persecuted because I'm black and they believe the police.”

Clemmons was arrested in May on the assault charges. Prosecutors contend he punched a sheriff's deputy sent to investigate someone breaking windows.

At the time of his arrest, he allegedly made “religiously-themed comments, told the officer President Obama and Lebron James are his brothers, Oprah (Winfrey) is his sister and referred to himself as ‘the beast,”’ the report states.

He was who we thought he was, Huck!

And for many freepers, Mike, you are who we *knew* you were. A total moron.

I am not delusional at all. I see far clearly than those people here who have their visions clouded by hate.

Bullocks. Huckabee's history of being soft on crime, let alone 700+ clemency approvals, is just fact.

Clemmons should have never been release from prison in Arkansas. Never. And Huckabee released this murdered to pander to blacks.

Huck has already been tried and convicted by people with political agendas
Please, dial down the drama.

"Tried and convicted" is a phrase reserved for those on their way to prison. Hucksterbee isn't going to prison. He's going to continue his lucrative Fox News gig and any other lucrative activities he might now have or later develop.

According to this:
http://www.arktimes.com/blogs/arkansasblog/2009/11/maurice_clemmons_record.aspx

He wasn’t just a ‘kid’ who committed one or two crimes. Judges don’t hand out 108 years to just anyone.

Mental illness is progressive, as anyone knows who has had a family member affected by it. So I believe Huck is being honest about Clemmons not being the same person he was when Huck shortened the sentence. 108 years for robbery IS excessive, especially today when you see far worse crimes receive a slap on the wrist.

If you don’t see the parallels between the MSM pimping McCain and the MSM pimping Hucksterbee then you are a member of “there are none so blind as those who will not see”.

There were enough people on this site who voted for McCain. Your point is moot.

“....posting bail in Washington on charges of child rape”

I think that’s the real story here.

“Here was a kid at age 16 had committed a burgarly and a robbery and got a 108 year sentence,” Huckabee said Tuesday night at the Right to Life annual banquet on Purdue’s campus. “The judge thought it was unfair. The parole board did and recommended to me to commute his sentence. I didn’t let him loose because I didn’t have that power as a governor. I commutted his sentence to 47 years giving him the oppurtunity to be parole eligible.”

Seems reasonable.

Give Romney some credit.

I give him credit for gay marriage, supporting abortion and implementing socialized medicine.
