Give me a break. Huckabee is Jimmy Carter

[NormsRevenge]

you don’t talk much, huh?

huck sure does.

[gpapa]

More pap from the liberal NPR.

[cmsgop]

FOR ME TO POOP ON !!!!!!!

[BlabItGrabIt]

If Huck, or another Repub candidate, would connect the dots with dims taking control of both Houses—and crude oil nearly doubling per barrel, Americans would back those investigations...

[You asked, isn’t it true that Mormons believe that the devil was Jesus’ brother, or something like that. I gather that you apologized. . .]

Huckabee or his advisers calculated the potential votes he could reap from religious bigotry against Romney versus alienating Mormons. Huckabee figured demonizing Mormons was worth more. Later he said he asked the reporter the devil/Jesus’ brother question because the reporter “knew more about religion than I do.” This from a guy who claims to have a degree in Theology.

It doesn’t make any difference what the Hucker says, he’ll lose his cards and have a different story tomorrow, fox news round table tore his rump up tonight.

Claims being the operative word. Krauhammer said, the huckster, had about the same degree Jessy Jackson did.

[Brad from Tennessee]

He has a bachelors from a Baptist college that has good academic credentials. He later attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary but did not graduate. Once he entered politics he was awarded two honorary PhDs from Christian universities to boost his resume.

Hard to believe that THE PARDONEER would have a problem with a mere bailout.

An honorary degree and a can of piss have about equivalent value. Catch the rerun of fox news, I think, krauthammer is questioning whether the so called baptist college degree isn't a one of those mail order things. LOL

[Into the Vortex]

Why is he being so hard on these people who got in over their heads? Couldn’t he come up with an “Action America” type plan that could assist them with their struggles?

Hell, I’ll bet most of THEM would even report the extra income.

This guy really takes the cake.

Then eats it.

Then tells YOU ya better watch your diet.

[RockinRight]

Sorry, try again.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Right. I looked at some websites after I heard Krauthammer say Huckabee lied about a degree in Theology. I trust Krauthammer but he wasn’t specific.

As I said, the honorary degrees were awarded in 1991 while Huckabee was preparing to run for governor of Arkansas. The honorary degrees were awarded by Christian universities. I presume the degrees were given to Huckabee because he claims to be a Christian and these institutions—at the prospect of having a “Christian” become a governor—were willing to pad his resume. You’re right that these degrees are academically worthless but they can have some political value.

His Bachelors degree comes from Ouachita Baptist University. This is a legitimate liberal arts college with high national academic standing. I can’t find out what discipline Huckabee’s undergraduate degree is for. They don’t say on his website or Wikepedia or anywhere else. I imagine if the Ouachita degree was in Theology he would post that on his website. If I had to guess I would say it is for something like Counseling or Social Work.

Later on Huckabee attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary for an unknown period of time before dropping out.

I would imagine that krauthammer are one of the staff called the school. But he did say there was no difference in the huck and Jessy jackson. Also found this poste on FR. haven't read it all!

I couldn’t get the link to work but I found this:

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59222

Says his undergraduate is in Religion which means he should have known something about Mormonism.

The news media have enjoyed inflating this guy. It’s their way of sabotaging the conservative candidates in the race.

[org.whodat]

If brief the link says he may have a BA degree in religion, but the other claims he has made are BS.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Yeah, the news media will keep passing him rope, hoping he wins the nomination, then they’ll hang him.
