Poor poor Huckabee

He is so simple, he thinks he could be elected President of the US. He goes on right wing radio and says anything to the retarded tea baggers to get their cookies.

Mike Huckabee: Obama Grew Up In Kenya

Ratmagiclady · 03-02-2011, 10:23 AM

I hate to say 'I told you so,' but only cause it gives me repetitive motion injury of the mandible.

One face to the corporate media, no actual secret what he says quite loudly in other company.

shooz · 03-02-2011, 10:27 AM

More proof of poor thinking republicans?
I wonder who told him to say that?

Keep the spin alive.

Nesster · 03-02-2011, 10:37 AM

the side effect of this is a reinforcement of the politics of belief - as opposed to fact based politics. Note wording:

Quote:

Hogan Gidley told ABC News that Huckabee "misspoke" on the matter and "meant to say the president grew up in Indonesia." The spokesman also reiterated, "The Governor believes the President was born in Hawaii."

That believes is opposed to the "fact" of his growing up in Kenya... erm... Indonesia.

Such locution keeps the doubts simmering.

How much money do you think it will take to get some middle aged Kenyans to "believe" they "remember" Barack as a boy in their village? Never mind this will be quickly proven incongruent with truth; the damage will be done - it didn't stop the effects of swift boating, now did it? Or the effects of WMD in Iraq.

Huckabee knows what he said, he is just another dumb Republican that is going to get his dumb weenie as* kicked in 2012 if not sooner.

The clarification and substitution of Indonesia for Kenya also makes no sense. Fact Checker - Huckabee's 'Kenya' clarification raises more questions

Even that claim that he "grew up" in Indonesia is a little funky, since he actually lived there about four years.

I think the 'questions' either is intended to raise are about thinking it's somehow a liability to have a President who actually might have some kind of clue about other cultures than Connecticut Wasps trying to reinvent themselves as 'born-again' Texans.

They hit Obama with the whole 'Manchurian Candidate' thing cause as a matter of fact, McCain was *actually imprisoned in the actual hands of actual Commies for some years.*

And when they weren't calling Obama a 'Husim' or even a 'Hindu,' (over rumors someone gave him a medallion of Ganesha) they were claiming he was some kind of robot of the 'Black Christian' church about that pastor of his.. While putting up Palin whose church *actually claims her actual political thing is actually somehow about 'witch-hunting' not to mention *actual Alaskan secessionism actually done out of her actual office* ... as someone who'd be a lot better than either Mister Sealed Records Mr. GWB, or Palin 'I went to several colleges, really, even if none seem to have transcripts,' ...But so is born the 'birther' cult who apparently feel the state of Hawaii doesn't have authoritative enough bureaucratic procedures....

I know, details, details.. But it's the Roveian strategy and all.
Or what you could call 'the long con.'

I suppose the effect of discussing something utterly irrelevant means not discussing something more relevant.

Personally, I'm just tired of people who are so repressed they think tacky porn has some demonic 'porn addiction powers' trying to put 'small government' in my bedroom via ridiculous legal injustices. Then apparently claiming loudly that The Only Possible God In The Universe (And Tax Cuts) Demands They Do This... Nothing Should Come Between You And My Calvinism... Nothing!

I mean, hey, I like to think it's OK, here, when I'm not up all night listening to the news, (or barking at theocrats) but it's *just not that interesting, people.*

Finland gets it, right, J?

Former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said Wednesday that President Obama has "a different worldview" that is in part "molded out of a very different experience."

"Most of us grew up going to Boy Scout meetings and, you know, our communities were filled with Rotary Clubs, not madrassas," Huckabee added.

Well, it seems that the political discussion has a better S/N ratio over here. It might help that we have more than two political parties, in practice this means coalition governments, that is, co-operation and compromise.

Is he spinnin it that way shooz?,or is he doing his best to be put in the company
of a man who once said something to the effect "The more one repeats a lie,
the more willing people become to believe it" Sure wants to be,whats he going
to be saying then.
What tribe of native americans does gov.huckabee hail from anyway?

shooz · 03-03-2011, 11:04 PM

It's the same old tea bagger spin.
Repeating it, even after it's proven wrong is part of the plan.
Reality doesn't matter kind of propaganda.
It's part of the PR play book. Ed Bernays invented it as we know it. It plays on certain emotions.
I don't believe Huck so dumb, to have made the "slip" twice.
So I ask who told him to say it?

GeneV · 03-04-2011, 07:00 AM

Of course which ever of the descriptions one believes, it is designed to convey the idea that the President is not "one of us." In speaking to those who follow Huckabee, the color of the President's skin and the origin of his name take the good governor's supporter quite a way down that road. Now let's add the fact that he actually spent a few years in another country, and see how we can blow that out of proportion.

If you think about it, many of our presidents come from families that are "different" from the Leave it to Beaver ideal that many Americans claim (but seldom actually experience). It may lead to their achievement. Would the family of either Bush I or II be typical? How about Kennedy or Roosevelt? Eisenhower's otherwise typical family became, gasp, Jehovah's Witnesses. Truman was a 33d level Mason, heaven (and Dan Brown) forbid.
