Your Republican Front-Runner, Mike "Pol Pot" Huckabee

Conservative non-scholars (redundant?) like to praise conservative crackpot David Barton and his fantasy-fiction as history. Plus, we all know there isn't a conservative politician alive who doesn't proclaim the Second Amendment the greatest single piece of over-compensation ever given to poorly endowed 'Muricans by the hand of God (hey...kinky).

Most importantly, when you are able to combine these two dementias into one sound bite, you are clearly worthy of being the Republican front-runner:


"I just wish that every single young person in America would be able to be under his [Barton's] tutelage and understand something about who we really are as a nation. I almost wish that there would be something like a simultaneous telecast and all Americans would be forced, forced — at gun point no less — to listen to every David Barton message. And I think our country would be better for it. I wish it’d happen."


I suppose it is possible to argue (after all, see above) that wishing Americans be indoctrinated at gun point was somehow taken out of context (as opposed to being plainly fucking nuts) which is why it was later edited out of the video. Better get CNN's Joe Johns on this one.

The Republican front runner is currently in the Oval Office.

This is Huck's true nature- thuggery and force, the very antithesis of love and real freedom.

It was a stupid joke used to emphasize how much he likes that preacher. For us to pretend it was serious is wrong; that's what the conservatives do all the time.

It was stupid and it was politically incorrect, but it was not serious, obviously.

There's plenty about Huckabee that disqualifies him. We do not have to exaggerate or make shit up.

Well, as long as we're making wishes that will never come true, I'd like to see Orifices and Assholes and all GOP buddies held at gunpoint and forced to listen to reason.

Oh, Huck, please. Just deep-fry a squirrel and shut the fuck up.

I think Jesus used to joke with apostles about converting the Romans under threat of crucifixtion. They'd drink wine and laugh and laugh about the blisters they'd get from all the crosses they'd have to build. Just some regular Jebidiahs shootin' the shit. Oh the irony of it all.

I, like Mikeb302000 (pun intended) agree this is a bit too, too. Huckleberry was hyperboiling (sic)nothing more. Not defending, just saying

Nothing like guns to focus our dementias.
