Just caught Beck on the car radio. A quick summary.
After Huckabee emailed Beck about Beck calling him a "progressive" on air, Huckabee also followed it up with a piece on his site ridiculing Beck and his "bugga bear" conspiracy theories.
Beck played it on the air this morning.
After playing Huckabee's comments, Beck detailed how Huckabee (a Christian and someone who he has met, interviewed and knows many people who are friends of Mike Huckabee -- and that his comments are in response to Huckabee's big government politics) isn't a conservative and is someone who raised taxes when he was in office.
Beck said he is glad that they both have shows to get out their points of view and asked Huckabee to tell him which concerns he (Beck) has talked about that fall into Huckabee's definition of "bugga bear."
Then he closed that segment by saying that Huckabee would be as thin-skinned as Obama and that we don't need that.
huckabee grovels for the obamas.
I don’t know how Huck could even think of running again for president after the Maurice Clemmons shooting....

_____________________________________________
Reasons why Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is a RINO and no longer fit for public office
These are the tax hikes that FAUX-CONSERVATIVE ol' Huckabee signed into law while Governor:
Sales Tax, 1996 (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 11/07/96)
Gas and Diesel Fuel Taxes, 1999 (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 04/02/99, 04/25/99)
Sales Tax, 2000 (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 09/25/02)
Cigarette Tax, 2001 (Associated Press, 04/02/01)
Nursing Home Bed Tax, 2001 (Associated Press, 06/25/01)
Sales Tax, 2002 (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 11/15/02)
Income Surcharge Tax, 2003 (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 10/09/07)
Tobacco Tax, 2003 (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 10/09/07)
Internet Taxes, 2004 (Bond Buyer, 02/24/04)
From TheBattman - 6/7/7:
Long and short on Huckabee from his record:
Positives:
1. Has been very strong on gun rights (CCW, protecting gun makers from stupid lawsuits).
2. Pro-Marriage: Marraige protection Act was his baby along with covenant marriage.
3. Pro-life
Negatives:
1. Supported taxes (Old-fashioned Tax-and-Spend politician)- engineered a 3% state income tax surcharge (a tax on the tax you paid in income tax) that was supposedly to make up for budget shortfalls - and then kept in in place a year longer than was necessary (and promised).
Raised fuel taxes
Encouraged the use of sales tax as an easy means of revenue boosting.
Opposed all efforts to reduce the sales tax on groceries and prescription drugs, even in years with a budget surplus. Heck, our new Democrat (liberal at that) Governor, under public pressure, agreed to a reduction in grocery sales tax...
2. ArKidsFirst - One of the larges social spending programs in Arkansas history was his baby. I don’t have a problem with helping low income folks get medical care, but I know many folks on it that could afford regular coverage - but why when big gubmint will give it free?
3. Big Government - Huckabee, between his socialist healthcare moves, his heavy hand regarding tobacco use, his mandatory “search lunchboxes of school kids” “health” initiative, and massive expansion of most social programs...
4. Poor record of political appointments - just one example - Sheffield Nelson on the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission - who has single-handedly tarnished the organization and really pissed off sportsmen in the state with his obstructionist and blatantly anti-”regular Joe” initiatives.
5. Illegal Immigration - Huckabee actually called anyone against illegal immigration (those who wanted to prevent free tuition to illlegals, free social benefits to illegals, etc.) non-Christian.
6. Party Affiliation - Huckabee has chosen in the last couple of elections to not be supportive of Republican candidates, including Lt. Governor, when they were a solid conservative choice, preferring more “moderate” or even liberal candidates.
I’m sure there is plenty more (maybe both pro and con) that others can add.
TheBattman 03/08/2006 4:06:54 PM CST Thanks OB1.... Another bit of news.. Anyone heard the news about our Socialist governer/wanna-be POTUS? He has worked out a deal with the Feds to give socialized medical care to Arkansans. Dave Elswick was griping this afternoon about it... Supposedly, Huckabee got a waver to be able to use Medicade funds to help provide health insurance for those in low to middle income jobs. If an employer who currently doesn't offer health insurance wants to (so it was put) offer insurance, the employer will kick in $15 per month for employees making up to 2 times the federal poverty level, and will have to kick in over $100 per month for those employees who make over that figure (doesn't make much sense to me). Also, this requires that the employer must cover either ALL employees or none. No picking and choosing which employees get it. The project will be paid for/supplemented with a combination of Federal and state tax dollars plus the employer contribution.
Beck did mention that Huckabee defends Michelle’s nanny state involvement with what children eat. And they’ve done a back and forth about that topic.
and then Beck got out his magic chalkboard and drew the lines between Huckabee, the tri-laterakl commission and the CFR. Beck is an unmedicated paranoid, I may not be crazy about Huckabee but Beck is nuts and acts like a child who isn’t the center of attention.
Hackable is a whimp. Not what we need. Reminds me of Jimmy Carter. He’d get run over on the world stage.
I’ll never watch or listen to Beck until he does a show allowing “birthers” to come on and debate him and present their evidence. Until that happens, he’s in the tank for Obama. He bashes huge conspiracies but something simple like a fake COLB is “nutty.”
I’m stealing that for my Huckster library.. ;-)
The Left would love a Huckabee ticket.
Then they wouldn’t look so extreme.
When CNN calls you “centrist”, then you know you are just to the right of Eugene V. Debs.
Trust: for this category, off the top of my head...I only trust Bachmann, West, DeMint, Palin....AND GLENNY ;-)
Determination: add Ryan to the list
Work Ethic: = say what they mean, mean what they say and roll up their sleeves to get 'er done...same list.
Never really put Huckabee up as an example in any of these three categories. Probably a nice guy, but we don't need just a nice guy right now...this timing in history is WAAAAY TOO IMPORTANT. Our Country and way of life hangs in the balance.
The left thinks Huckabee and Romney are “right wingers” and too conservative.
AMEN
Get back to us when you offer details of the inaccuracy of Beck's conspiracy theories, Huckabear.
And, Beck is not a Christian, but belongs to a cult.
