ORLANDO, Fla. – Jeb Bush rebuked Mike Huckabee on Monday for invoking the Holocaust in criticizing President Obama over the nuclear agreement with Iran, arguing that Republicans needed “to tone down the rhetoric” if they hoped to recapture the White House next year.
“The use of that kind of language is just wrong,” Mr. Bush told reporters after a town-hall-style meeting here. “This is not the way we’re going to win elections and that’s not how we’re going to solve problems. So, unfortunate remark — not quite sure why he felt compelled to say it.”
Mr. Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, said over the weekend that Mr. Obama’s Iran policy would “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”
His incendiary language prompted a strongly worded rejoinder from Mr. Obama at a news conference in Ethiopia on Monday.
“The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are just part of a general pattern we’ve seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad,” Mr. Obama said, linking Mr. Huckabee’s comments to similarly inflammatory rhetoric of late from those he called the “leaders in the Republican Party.”(continued)

Is anyone going to tell it like it really is except Trump and Huckabee?
One minor alteration...
Jeb: “I agree with you about everything.”
Hillary: “I agree with me about everything too. Jeb, you’re the best.”
Jeb: “No, you’re the best.”
Hillary: “Oh yes, I’m the best.”
Jezebel and Athaliah would be pleased.
If Jeb Bush is the Republican nominee, I’m staying home for the 2016 election.
Cruz. Maybe Walker.
You’ve forgotten Cruz?
Has Jeb read the Iran deal?
Leni
Jeb! is so pathetic he makes Romney look good...
This is exactly what the Republicans have needed — someone to stand up on behalf of our beleaguered ally Israel as Obama and his Democratic cronies attack it as if every night is Kristallnacht.
If Mike Huckabee continues to be the lone voice in the wilderness courageously speaking out on behalf of the Jewish State in its latest time of need, while Jewish organizations like AIPAC and Jewish-American ‘’leaders’’ like Chuck Schumer remain silent, he’ll join other righteous gentiles of the past who also came forward when the Jewish people needed them.
Now *THAT'S* saying something.
He has to wait for the Spanish translation.
Last month, Jeb Bush bragged in an ABC interview, in Spanish, that Spanish is the primary language used in his home (Link).
So if you want Spanish to become the primary language used by the next occupants of the White House, Jeb is your hombre.
So you’ve never heard of a man named Ted Cruz?
GOP - Join The Milquetoast Jebolution!
I disagreed with Freepers that said that about McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012. Not this time. I am finally there.
Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Ginsburg and Breyer will all be in their 80s during the next Presidential term. Justice Thomas will be in his 70s. If either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush is our next President, then they will all be replaced with young far-left liberals and a liberal oligarchy on the Supreme Court will be ruling over us for a generation to come.
We have a clear pathway to saving the country in only three years. It will not be easy, but it is the last chance that I can see in my lifetime.
1. In 2016, we must elect a CONSERVATIVE President and keep the Republicans in control of the Senate (RINOs and all). I want to replace the RINOs as soon as possible, but mathematically it will be an uphill battle for the Republicans to hold the Senate in 2016. There is little that a CONSERVATIVE President can accomplish if Chuckie Schumer is the Senate Majority Leader.
2. In 2017, immediately after the new President is sworn in, invoke the Reid Rule and eliminate the Senate filibuster. Then immediately undo everything that Obama and the Democrats have done since 2008. Also, pack the courts with as many CONSERVATIVE judges as possible as quickly as possible.
3. In 2018, replace as many RINOs as possible in the House and Senate (including any Republicans that did not fully support #2 above). It is also vital to increase CONSERVATIVE control of the state legislatures in 2018, in order to control the state redistricting process after the 2020 census.
If we can accomplish these three steps, then our Republic can survive. If not, then it is pretty much over.
Yep, if it’s Jeb Clinton vs Hillary Bush, I am staying home too.
I had more trouble voting for McCain than Romney, but I did it. I think we would have had more of a shot in 2008 if McCain had not been the nominee.
But Jeb vs. anybody (especially Hillary) would just cause me to stay home. I have zero faith in that guy.
To undo the damage to our Republic that Obama wrought, we’re almost gonna have to elect Superman.
“Remind me which party John Ellis Bush belongs to. “
Mexico has two, so it’s either PAN or the PRI.
“”You’ve forgotten Cruz?””
No - but I want to see him be consistent. I love his fire and passion but is it long lasting?
It’s pretty much the PRI.
