Huckabee's Revisionist History Lessons - For the Kids!
I assumed this was the Onion, but it's not...

Charles Johnson
Wingnuts • Thu May 12, 2011

In the burgeoning genre of Right Wing Historical Revisionism, potential Republican presidential front-runner Mike Huckabee is proud to announce a new project: Learnourhistory.com!

The first one out is titled, “The Reagan Revolution,” and the villain is a black kid wearing a DISCO t-shirt who says, “Gimme yo money.”

2. Funny thing about this all is before Reagan took office none of the scenes
shown in the cartoon happened, everything shown is a direct result of Reagan policies. I remember 1977 very well, the only gangs cops worried about were motorcycle clubs, street gangs came after Reagans tough on drug dealer law's which increased the street price of illegal drugs as well as the increase of drug related violence. Most of that can be traced back to Reagan policies that lead to massive lay offs and factory relocating. But hey I'm just preaching to the choir.

5. You know you are going to lose...
When you feel the need to trot out your best dead guy to run for POTUS, and you STILL need to lie about what he did!

8. Christ on a bike
It almost seems like parody. I kept expecting Sparky the Penguin to pop up with a sarcastic comment at the end.

9. Hucklenutz Milks The Suckers...
I wouldn't be surprised if he makes money on this latest scam. There are surely lots of wingnuts and fundies out there who want to believe this tripe and will dish out the $39.95 per video and "handling charges" every month until the end of time...(for some it may be next Saturday...LOL).

P.T. Barnum would delight in the current rushpublicans. Easy marks for all sorts of scam artists and grifters. Hucklenutz is just the latest to cash in. Personally I'd rather see them throw their money away on this crap than donating to a candidate that stands a chance of winning next year.
