Huckabee is freaking nuts

Just saw this on Kos, and I thought it needed a bit more publicity. This guy is scary. :scared:

BREAKING: Mike Huckabee member of Bill Gothard cult

The more that comes out about Mike Huckabee, the more I get scared.

So far, he's admitted he's part of the "Left Behind" fandom crowd, he's gotten endorsements and help from hate groups (like a pastor linked with "Watchmen On The Walls" who also wants to kick all non-dominionists out of the country), released rapist-killers from prison, wants to change the constitution to make the US a de jure theocracy, snd rather explicitly has invoked "God's Army" in his speeches.

As bad as that gets, though, it's worse than I feared. It seems that Mike Huckabee is not only a good friend of neopente cult leader and "Bible-based baby beating" and Joel's Army-with-guns advocate Bill Gothard...but he's also a member of his Bible-based cult.

And folks...that has some very scary implications in regards to that whole "Christian Nation" thing.

Sigh.

7. If I may, I suspect that you are wrong. They do NOT like Bush

because he did not go far enough. They really and truly want a xtian nation, even if they have to force it down our throats.

6. K&R I'm glad he lost in SC, too. I don't want to see this nutball anywhere NEAR

the Presidency. He is very, very scary.

8. as far as i can tell

all the repuke candidates are freaking nuts. scary as the last 7 years, thinking about having any one of them in the white house. i find it essentially unimaginable, which i suppose is why i tend to have almost complete faith that a democrat will be elected (assuming the elections go on).

10. And that's the problem...

the media will tell everyone that Huckabee's the one they "want to have a beer with" - and the sheeple will go ahead and vote for him. Because he's likable. Nevermind his intention of setting up a Christian theocracy in America and his corruption and his having condoned his then 17-yr-old son's torturing of an animal.

Sure, he might be corrupt, cruel, and religiously insane, but - you'd like to sit down and have a beer with him - and THAT'S what's important in a President, right? :sarcasm:

11. But he loves killing defenseless squirrels & bragging about how to barbecue them

Last week on TV he went on and on about what fun it is to shoot squirrels and then cook them in a popcorn cooker outside.

What's not to like with a president like that? :shrug:

12. Save your breath. Americans are too stupid to understand your

message. We are wallowing in the miseries of religious fanaticism. The trouble is that it is threatening us all.

13. He is likable--even if his positions aren't..

He seems so nice..and then compares homosexuality to bestiality--keeps things interesting. Falwell is smiling in his grave!
