Speaking before a gathering of Christian conservative voters, GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said legalized abortion in the United States was a holocaust.

"Sometimes we talk about why we're importing so many people in our workforce," the former Arkansas governor said. "It might be for the last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973."

Mr. Huckabee,

What are we going to do with 1.3 million unwanted children being born into America after you criminalize a woman's choice?

Perhaps you see a new Orphanage-Industrial-Complex business model?

Where does he get off comparing this heinous illegal act in history to abortion!

Do you agree with Mike Huckabee's statement comparing legalized abortion to the holocaust? -----------> http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=756

Huckabee is an interesting person; likeable and I think he's ethical, and I would vote for him to be my local pharmacist or dog catcher, no problem...even a mayor...but president? He is way too naive and as this shows, too likely to paint his picture with a brush just too wide to be articulate,presumably in hopes of sweeping the constituency away with the boldness of his strokes...even when they are obviously missing their target. That said it does look like he's running a campaign to be the vice presidential nominee for the GOP...

If he was a pharmacist, he would refuse to hand out birth control pills, or the morning after pill. The fundies don't like that shit.

Statistically, the reason why much of crime is going down is because of abortions. It also reduces welfare and Medicare costs as well as additional pollution.

Christians fanatics have taken the Republican party too far and gotten to far into politics. Religion should be personal and not be forced onto others who disagree.

I can't imagine what those radicals would do it someone forced them to adhere to another religion like wear burkas.

If you believe in execution, by definition abortion falls into the same category and is always on ther table.

And back in the early 70's the now dead(Thank God) Falwell gave speeches in which he warned of the evils of the rise of the black race, and the Civil Rights marchers in paritcular. He gave a sermon entitled, 'Ministers and Marches", in which he denounced preachers who involve themselves in politics. Fuckabee and the rest of these clowns hate gays, immigrants, Muslims, yet they are now reaching out to African-Americans in order to break the Democratic Party completely.They love the idea of preemptive strikes against those they deem "dangerous", or "Instrumnets of the Anti-Christ", because they think that God will protect them and that they'll somehow rise above the smoking husk of what's left of the world. They are certifiably insane.

Oh yeah Huckabee is a real rocket scientist isn't he! This assclown belongs to a superstitious cult called religion. Religion is a chronic, viral plaque to man that must always be kept in check. Out of hand, it starts to putrify and contaminate everything it gets near. Religionists, although stupid, can be dangerous in mass. Once given any power they force thier insanity on others, always. They care nothing about the notion of others rights. It must be kept in check at all times. The last thing we need is more religious nonsense. What we need is the exact opposite...freedom from it. People can manage things and be plenty "moral" without religion and in fact the more religious, the more immoral they actually are. Huckabee is an idiot, as sad sorry excuse of humanity and it is disgusting that we would consider anything this pin head said for even a nano second, much less put the idiot in office. Beware of this cult. It is a cancer.

Huckabee dijo a los cristianistas:

"Sometimes we talk about why we're importing so many people in our workforce," the former Arkansas governor said. "It might be for the last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973."

Importados? IM-portados? ¡Qué carajo!

The reason that illegals come here is not because American people were not here to work. Americans cost more than illegals or temporary cheaper workers. THAT's the reason. Illegals were permitted to work because companies wanted to cut labour costs by any means. Their shills in the Congress at least since 1994 (Contract ON America) cast a blind eye on the illegal immigrations, created NAFTA which impoverished Mexican and Central American farmers, and literally invited Eastern European cheap white people (yes!!) to work here legally or illegally.

Abortion linked to H1-B visas and indocumentos?

What a panderer Gomer is...

Would he stand up in front of unemployed Maytag workers in Iowa and say that? Hah.

Ugh.

And the veto on the SCHIP bill? Hmmm?

What is that, Mr. Gomer?

* It is not a bill to care for immigrant kids.
* It is not a socialist bill.
* It is not a way of forcing one group to pay for another.

It is simply Christian duty. Look it up in your Bible. WWJD?

Ugh.

Shmuckabee and his mindless minions get it wrong yet again. If there is any WW2 analogy to be made, it would be the striking similarities of fascist themes spewed by dictators then and dictator-wannabees right now.

Shmuckabee imagines himself the rightful leader of this insane clown parade while the competition for the job is still ongoing. The repuke candidates trying to outdo one another to secure the votes of the 30 percenters is a sad statement on where the country has gone. However,the world has seen this before as history repeats itself.

Send the american taliban over to fight radical Islam, and we'll see what they get done when they have to be more than loudmouthed clowns.

Say it ain't so. More pandering for the votes of the Christian right. Haven't they learned anything from their experience with Bush? The Christian Right is being manipulated for their votes.

Of course ,just like some drugs, it is even worse when illegal.

Here are questions for the GOP candidates.

1.) "Would you have sex with a man to stop a terrorist attack?"

2.) "If lowering taxes results in increased revenues then would lowering taxes to zero result in infinite revenues?"

3.) "If you had a time machine, would you travel back in time and abort Bin Laden?"

4.) "Would you torture and kill Jesus to ensure mankind"s salvation? And how does that work?"

Oh ... how the far-right, religious-right, and the rest of those nitwits just love to inappropriately and irresponsibly throw around those two scary H words: Holocaust, Hitler.

However, considering 'The Holocaust' = genocide, albeit on a huge, absolutely repugnant scale, nonetheless, Huckabee evidently needs a dictionary. Regardless of how much he and his ilk may utterly disagree with very concept of abortions and a women's right to choose, to define the procedure, and/or choose, of abortion as an act genocide (def: the deliberate and systematic destruction of an ethnic, religious or national group) is claptrap and ridiculously inane.

I'll tell you what Huck, you and your minions can focus on this act of so-called genocide.

Meanwhile the rest of us will ignore this ridiculous diversion, and focus our concerns on the REAL atrocities happening in this world we live in: for instance the genocide currently ongoing in Darfur and the tragic poverty in Africa and the suffering of the African people. As well as the very real possibility that our unwelcome involvement in Iraq, M/E in general, is creating " and/or will in the future " a linear domino effect to the destruction of specific groups of people: Iraqi Sunnis and Kurds come to mind.

Bottom line: What would Jesus do?

We expect the many conservatives particularly the Fundies to oppose abortion.

There is a method to Huckabee's madness. He is is sending a message to the Fundies, particularly Dr. Dobson who claim there is no candidate for them in this election, that he is their candidate because he doesn't believe in the woman's right to choose.

Huckabee is pandering to the Fundies, it's politics and hypocrisy, not morality at work.

The Pro-Birth Party. Definitely not Pro-Life.

And if you want a baby, you better be rich before you even think about it, because the GOP will not help if you lose your health insurance.

I was in a birthing class with a young lady who REALLY wanted children. Then she had an abortion during the second trimester.

She had an abortion because the fetus she was carrying failed to develop a brain. By most definitions, the fetus was alive. Heartbeating, all other organs functioning, etc. No baby with this conditions lives more than a few hours after birth, but it will be born alive and live for a few hours.

All the proposed laws that christians have written would force this poor woman to carry the fetus for five more months knowing the condition and that it would die soon after birth.

And that is monsterous.

having no brain is a prerequisite for christianity. Your friend had every right to terminate her pregnancy. It is no ones business but her own and certainly not some idot babtist (babbling) preacher's.
