Huckabee’s whole shtick in this clip is, in my opinion, an act. His Republican brand just conducted the dirtiest campaign in my voting lifetime against Obama, appealing in code to his party's most racist elements. And now Huckabee, without renouncing his party's campaign tactics, wants to express horror over racism and segregation in this country?! Puh-leeze.

As for comparing homophobia and gay-bashing to "Christian bashing," words cannot express my disgust. When was the last time a Christian was shot dead or beaten to a pulp in this country for their religious views? If Christ were alive today, he'd be palling around with the inmates at Guantanamo, or with the African-American transvestite hookers, or with the scared, gay high-schoolers who run away from their "Christian" homes and live homeless on the streets. Not with these sanctimonious, hypocritical, rich so-called "Christians."

The Gods and Goddesses of Karma are probably already arranging for Huckabee to be born gay and attacked in his next life. Maybe two or three lives, if his skull is as thick as I think it is.
After which, he'll finally say, "Oh, I get it."

As someone from the south, it pains me to say this, but if I hear someone with a southern accent talking about civil rights, I generally think they are on the troglodyte side of history and move on.

Maybe he can follow up his comments on his Fox News show which I will fail to watch as well.

Is "the View" the place Republicans go to die?

Just wondering.

Well, I believe I heard him cede the movement in all other spheres than marriage. Does that mean that we can expect his support on ENDA, ending DADT, et cetera?

I wish the "marriage conversation" would focus more on the suffering we experience when those 1,138 federal rights are denied. The REAL SUFFERING; personal stories.

I've been VERY frustrated as I've blogged about this Psychological Warfare on the children of LGBT families during this entire PROP 8 DEBACLE; did ANYONE consider how young children would react to society voting on their family's worth? We may not know for years.

Except for this news today: The American Psychological Association wrote, "Amendments that restrict civil marriage rights of same-sex couples – such as Proposition 8 that recently passed in California – have led to higher levels of stress and anxiety among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adults, as well as among their families of origin".

Yes, even those who love us are stressing from PROP 8 and other electorial insults.....with good reason. No family exists in a vacuum; did voters and constitution experts forget about The Family Tree? Interconnectedness? Interdependance?

The stories of countless other Americans desperately need to be heard, esp. by the likes of a Huckabee, Norris, Newt, or other idiots who are given a microphone. Marriage laws were put in place many years ago in order to PROTECT individuals and their families; if they were not necessary THEY WOULD NOT EXIST (for the heterosexuals).

Americans want to deny us what they DEEM ESSENTIAL. I personally have a HUGE problem with that.

I say put Huckabee in prison for say 5 years. Let it be known that he is a racist but that he loves to get fucked. We can check back in about 18 months and see his views have changed!

Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone had the best quote of all about Huckabee: he said that Huck is "entertaining, interesting, different, and batshit crazy."

I sure hope Obama gets the job done, 'cause there sure aren't any Republicans that are capable of picking their noses and ordering at wendy's at the same time.
