Huckabee Equated Homosexuality With Pedophilia, Necrophilia

Mother Jones:

At the last Republican presidential debate, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, who had surged into the lead in the Iowa polls, pitched himself as the potential president who could unite a nation divided. "I think the first priority of the next president is to be a president of all the United States," he said. "We are right now a very polarized country, and that polarized country has led to a paralyzed government. We've got Democrats who fight Republicans, liberals fighting conservatives, the left fights the right. Who's fighting for this country again?...We've got to be the united people of the United States."...

... In a 1998 book decrying American culture, Huckabee was no seeker of common ground. He drew stark lines, equating environmentalists with pornographers and homosexuality with pedophilia and necrophilia. He also declared that people who do not believe in God tend to be immoral and to engage in "destructive behavior." He drew a rather harsh picture of an American society starkly split between people of faith and those of a secular bent, with the latter being a direct and immediate threat to the nation.

I never practice necrophilia without using environmentally friendly practices...

They say that the things people are most angry about are things that they fear about themselves... in that case, the inside of this guys head is really, really icky.

Proof that he is a divider, an religious nutjob with a history of rhetoric a bit to the right of limbaugh, Falwell and Goering....
This idiot might appeal to Christian extremists but he has no business leading a nation made of diverse people and viewpoints.
In San Francisco area alone there are over 110 languages spoken and every possible cross section of culture, belief and practice are found there. All he will do is fight Americans.
His extreme views represent to me, an Independant, that he will do whatever he can legally or otherwise to undermine the rights of our citizens. He represents something akin to an American Taleban, a Christian Shiaria-type world that I want know part of.

"It is now difficult to keep track of the vast array of publicly endorsed and institutionally supported aberrations"from homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia."

Huckabee shouldn't cast stones. His sons who are PUSHING MAXIMUM DENSITY would have to try to f*ck a corpse to procreate...nothing alive would have them.

On behalf of neckrophiliacs everywhere, I just want to say that comparing us to homosexuals is a cheap shot, otay?

So what if we have a neck fetish? What's the harm in that, really!

Why doesn't he go pick on the tit-ophiliacs, or the ass-ophiliacs, or the foot-ophiliacs?

Jeesh!

That was 110 lbs ago.

Now Huckabee too feels hot - in a Christian sort of way.

Men who have rejected God and do not walk in faith are more often than not immoral.

[GodIs]

Faith counteracts the destructive effects of sinful actions and activities.

I'm beginning to think Huckabee is certifiable!
Every day another idiotic, bible interpretation, mangled beyond comprehension and he's leading this race????!!!!
I'm pretty sure the dems could take this bozo down no matter who they run!

[Qbear]

How did Huckabee NOT get Bob Kerrey's endorsement? SAME GUTTER.

[leftbehind2000]

I equate Huckabee with a big pile of steamy dogshit.

[godlessclif]

They have toned down the accusation Huck would put
gays in death camps and gas them with Cyclon-B.
It is till baloney. If you saw Huck's Christmas message you would never beleive this stuff.

This is just more Swiftboating and Willie Hortoning. Just as false as those other stories.
This one is not as funny as the article saying Huck was the anti-christ. Paul Henning would have rejected Negrophilia as a Beverly Hillbillies episode.

Huckabee you might want to pick on someone NOT dying of AIDS (with not much to lose)...just saying

[sparkandy]

How the hell did such an ignorant fool get elected to anything? I'm shocked at the good people of Arkansas for not riding him out of town on a rail. Even the Okies here know better than to elect such a dunce to anything, even dogcatcher!

[Philippa]

Geez...Huck needs to take Psychology courses to understand that homosexuality is not a mental disorder.

[desertdweller]

...as he donned his rubber hip-boots and wandered into the sheep pen....
