15. NY TIMES: "Mr. Huckabee" just released a statement, apologizing: OR "It is the chair's fault."
Edited on Fri May-16-08 08:28 PM by L. Coyote
WTF, isn't he a governor anymore?

This has to be the lamest excuse in political history, "It is the chair's fault."

=============
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/huckabee-targets-obama-with-gun-joke/

Update | 7:30 p.m.: Mr. Huckabee just released a statement, apologizing:

"During my speech at the N.R.A., a loud noise backstage, that sounded like a chair falling,
distracted the crowd and interrupted my speech. I made an off hand remark that was in no way
intended to offend or disparage Sen. Obama.
I apologize that my comments were offensive. That was never my intention.”

20. yes - on the other video thread I posted that it didn't sound spontaneous
Something like you typed, or just saying "gunfire! duck!" or something - but either this was planned or Huck's mind works in really warped ways.

19. Holy shit. This is inciting to murder
I mean, this guy is speaking to a mob of a couple thousand gun-totin' extremists and talks about pointing a gun at Obama. That sounds an awful lot like a suggestion, as in "Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

Seriously, the FBI should look into this ASAP. It sounds almost as if Huckabee was suggesting that one of that see of deranged gun owners should assassinate Obama.

22. What pisses me off the most...
...is that if he would have stopped with "Obama falling off a chair" that would be fine. He got a big laugh from that part, and it would have been funny, even I would have admitted it. It was good natured and quick-witted and harmless.

But apparently that wasn't good enough for old Huck, and he had to say somebody pointed a gun at him. That's just fucking sick. Especially given his audience. Piss on that little bible thumping sack of fuck.

26. Notice that the audience...
did NOT laugh at the second part of Huckabee's "joke". Apparently, even they did not find funny the vision of a Presidential candidate diving for his life.
