Huckabee: Focus on Obama’s 23-Year Pastor Jeremiah Wright Was “Misplaced”…
If anything, McCain screwed up royally by not hammering Obama for it. Also, why is it “misplaced” to focus on a man Obama called his “spiritual adviser” for 23 years? Wright’s views obviously helped shape Obama’s opinions of the world, he did after all sit through over two decades’ worth of weekly sermons.
Q & A: Mike Huckabee on Faith, Social Issues, and a Possible Run — Christianity Today
Q) According to a Pew survey last August, 29 percent of evangelical Christians believe Obama is a Muslim, while only 27 percent think he is a Christian. Who or what is at fault for this misperception, and do evangelical attitudes/beliefs need to change?
He’s been very expressive in his statements, even at the Saddleback Forum when he ran in 2008. He spelled out very clearly what his view was, and frankly, it’s inappropriate, wrong-headed, and not helpful to the overall discussion when people try to say he doesn’t have a birth certificate or he’s a Muslim. To me that demeans the entire real discussion—what is he proposing and whether it’s good for the country — that ought to be the centerpiece for our entire conversation, not what did he hear when he sat in church. If people went back and heard every sermon I heard when I was a little kid and some of the more fundamentalist pastors were yelling from the pulpit at me, if they took every one of those sermons and lifted out of them certain phrases and things, it could be scandalous, but only out of the context of the bigger picture. That’s why I thought that a lot of the focus on Jeremiah Wright was misplaced.
It boils down to this, Huckabee is a tool, if we nominate him we’re guaranteed another four years of hope ’n change.

I didn’t realize what a wanker he is! I’m sort of surprised. How can he not know of Wright’s connection with Van whatsisname and Quadaffi (or however you spell it.)
The Evangelicals in this country best get their heads out of their ass. On many issues.
Go piss in a fan Huckabee
The Alinsky playbook worked. All criticism of Obama’s associates (Wright, Ayers) got filed in the “Birther” column and those who brought these guys up were painted as loony as Birthers.
Huckabee is a guy who has gotten so beaten down by the ridicule and marginalization of the media that he doesn’t dare harp on real concerns about Obama and his associates out of fear of more ridicule.
Weak-willed fool. He wants to keep on the good side of Colbert.
Huckabee might be a tool, but he’s pretty dull…
.
This man is a joke! If he is nominated, like Romney, we ( U.S. A. ) are toast. We can no longer accept the lesser of evils. We have to nominate a candidate with morals and a BACKBONE.
Huck is a rino pussy.
Palin the inly MAN in the bunch…fearless, gutsy, honest, smart, principled, constitutional conservative…no contest. Watch her Long Island event unfiltered at Palintv.com.
he is doing a great impression of someone who doesn’t want to run or doesn’t want to win. each day he comes out with a completely bass ackwards statement. we should have focused exclusively on Jeremiah Wright. we should have ran that “G damn america” video of his on a nonstop loop with the title “Obamas mentor and close friend”
I am SO disappointed in the things he has been saying this week, because I did like him in some areas, like tax reform. He knows better than this, so I have to wonder who he is kissing up to and why.
Jeremiah Wright was the symbol of everything Obama truly was and is. If anything, he should have been studied even more. I went through the church website back then, and no one could have gone there even for one service without knowing exactly who they were. Just look at the books they recommend. Look at a few of their old bulletins. Please.
Who needs to deal with the truth when a little self-delusion is alot easier?
This is a good illustration of why the lefty media likes Huck, and hates Palin. He tells them what they want to hear, and she tells them what they do not.
Hucklebee would be another MuhCain, a big wussy, slurping the butt cracks of “independents” (dhimmicrats without guts to admit it) and moderates (pussy repubes who ran away from every fight in their lives).
Last thing we need; another candy ass weepubican.
Go Palin, Cain, West, Rubio, Christie, Bolton – anybody with the guts to take on the media/gubmint/union complex.
This guy is an Industrial Strength Power Tool. I do not get his point, and I do not think he does.
We need a person who the left will hate more than any here dislike Obama.
Well we know who the liberals will vote for in the Republican primaries.
I cannot stand that Progressive with a Bible.
Huckabee is a Schmuckabee!
The Huckster is NOT a conservative.
He went into a land grab as governor for the UN for a biosphere in Arkansas.
http://www.alipac.us/ftopic-94139-next.html
He also made an agreement with the Mexican gov’t (illegal for a governor to do that). He let Mexican officials rent a building for a dollar a year! It was used to help “get illegals legal”.
The Huckster spoke before LULAC and said, “The white man will be in the minority soon!” And he laughed about it!!
He has said that the illegal immigration is our chance to “get it right”. In other words, he thinks this is our way to make up for slavery!!! He doesn’t get the difference between bringing someone here in chains and someone sneaking into our country? Seriously?
He also does not have a theology degree like he claims.
Just what we need, another spineless pussy. This sounds pretty PC to me….dont want to step on anyones toes now would we Huck?
GET ME A LEADER!
I wouldn’t vote for that Arkansas hillbilly fuck if he was the only one running and he was unopposed by the other party.
JS is right, he is a tool, and a really dull one. Dense too.
roadmaster, Christie is out. He appointed a muslim to the bench!
Wish we could get Alan Keyes elected. He has said that everything ZERO has signed and everyone he has appointed is null and void, since he isn’t eligible to hold the office.
I know someone who as soon as she heard about Wright said, “That’s all I need to know about Obama.” That should have been it. No true Christian would sit and listen to that garbage for 20years. She said she didn’t need to know anything else. She would NOT vote for him.
Hey Huckster, when you marinate in American hatred your whole life, you get the policies ZERO is employee. Got it? IT MATTERS.
CLUELESS SHMUCK!
Well isn’t this great.
John McCain Redux.
Huck, Romney, Gingrich and other beltway Republicans were never on my short list for president either now or in 2008. Anyone on roadmasters list is a better choice although I believe that Palin would be the best.
Huckster,
Wright preaches Black Liberation Theology. That is a Marxist interpretation of the gospels.
It is a 20 year check mark on Obama’s Marxist associations.
That is the issue. Obama’s religion is of convenience, his true ideology is Marxism.
After falling all over Barry and Michelle now saying “I thought that a lot of the focus on Jeremiah Wright was misplaced” and making a joke about the prank caller to the Governor of Wisconsin…you are done Huck, are you going to announce you are a liberal soon?
Wow. I have always been from the camp that we didn’t bring the association up enough. And now this tool says we focused too much.
Go Sarah!… The only Republican with balls is a female.
Huck is looking for a gig on O Reilly. Hey, cmon, we need 6 more years of Obama. Things simply are not bad enough.
We are not talking about sermons that Obama listened to as a kid, we are talking about a calculated political choice Obama made as an adult to stay with a racist marxist preacher for two decades without once criticizing that marxist preacher until political expediency forced him to. The problem with McCain is that he did not hammer Obama with marxist Wright during the campaign. It would have been extremely effective once Obama gave his response to Joe the Plumber to tie Obama once again to Wright’s marxist views and as Obama’s mentor. If Obama or any candidate had a radical islamist mentor, would that be a diversion? If a republican had a racist preacher he/she called a mentor and wrote a book based upon the teachings of said preacher, would democraps calling the candidate on it be off base and a ‘diversionary tactic’? Maybe Huckabee might think so, but the liberal media would have a field day tarring and feathering that candidate.
Huckabee is a nice guy, but he shouldn’t be let within miles of the White House. We don’t need another Dole/McCain/Huckabee flameout.
We need new blood, not a recycled candidate. No Palin, Romney or Huckabee.
Who is out dark Horse? Can Herman Cain get enough exposure to to viable? I love Allen West but I see him in 2016 (unless we can’t find someone great for 2012). Mitch Daniels is out after his stunt this week.
I wish there was a thumbs up option, I agree with so many comments!
I have loathed the Huckster from day one and said back in 2007 if it came down between he and Obama on teh Presidential ticket I simply would not vote. As to his Rev Wright comment Obama himslef saof Wright was his “mentor”. Some definitions of the word “mentor”: a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. an influential senior sponsor or supporter…
Huckabee needs to shut his Gomer Pyle banjo playing mouth…no one is interested in his shout outs.
No Huckabee, no Romney, no 2008 retread RHINO wannabe. We need someone we can vote for or the revolt will make Egypt look like an Easter egg roll.
Huck is a non-sequitur for the GOP in 2012.
There is NO WAY I would vote for him! Nor Romney! GO WEST!
Hey Huck, go crawl back under your rock!
Bye-bye.
Go West!
before barry sat in wrights church of “god damn america” black liberation theology indoctrination, his real mentor was the perverted communist pedophile, frank marshall davis ! barry hussein soetoro, the marxist/muslim mongrel community organizing misleader, is the product of diseased, demented, depraved and evil people ! the huckster has neither the spine or balls to challenge barry to a game of checkers, let alone for prez !

I sort of developed a bad taste for those things at some other “blog” years ago.
Something about the crazed mob down-ding mentality.
So much easier to click a button than to have an actual debate.
But, it would be cool to have a thumbs-down button next to the picture of Huck, wouldn’t it? Maybe with a little clown car bulb-horn sound.
Yo Huck, were those fundamentalist pastors of your youth yelling “God Damn America!” at you???….there’s a freaking difference, moron….and if you don’t know it, you shouldn’t be running for anything…
Rino Alert! the reason McCain lost was because he was a pussy who never attacked Obsama huckabee seems just the same
I just an interview Tim Russert did with Obama. Pressed him pretty hard on this issue. A short time after that he was dead, and no journalist since has asked any tough questions.
I just saw
junkyard infidel, the website http://www.outragepatriots.com had an article last year and also the day after the presidential election about Frank Marshall Davis and Obama’s paternity. Frank’s picture was above Obama’s and Obama Sr. was below Obama’s. The article was speculating that Davis is Obama’s real father.
Obama looked just like Davis. Same brows. I believe he is Obama’s real daddy.
http://www.reformation.org/frank-marshall-davis-obama.html
This would mean Obama lied about his name on the ballot. That is enough to disqualify him for office right there.
Aid and comfort to the enemy.

Huckster is nothing more than Slick Willie with an (R) behind his name rather than a (D). Don’t watch his show, reminds me way too much of HeeHaw.
Why he’s coming out with these ludicrous statements in one week, clustered one after the other, is anybody’s guess? Maybe he’s being cancelled by Fox and needs a new gig?
Huckabee said:
“that ought to be the centerpiece for our entire conversation, not what did he hear when he sat in church.”
Um, but isnt huck here, a minister?????? Seriously???? So a minister is telling us what people hear when they sit in a church isnt important or doesnt have any effect on them???
Oh Lord, Please strike him down with lightning, at your earliest convenience. At least kill his horrible show.
Does he think his criticism of Romney’s religion was misplaced?
Anti-American, antisemitic, white-hating marxist preacher = OK with huckster
Peaceful, charitable member of Mormon religion = huckster has a problem with
Bet he thinks Michael Vick is an OK pet owner. After all his son also murders helpless dogs.
I have a pet name for Mr. Huckabee– the Huckster.
The Huckster likes to play good ole’ boy on Fox News Channel and thinks his Hee Haw show will get him votes. I guess he believes if he plays his geetar and spins some country folk yarns they will forget all about his left leaning governance of Arkansas.
I think he is a man running from his record and it trying pull the “man of the people” bullshit.–so the name “Huckster”.
He doesn’t even deserve the moniker “Rino”
He’s Bob Dole without the experience or sense of humor. Huck is a snake oil salesman and I will actively participate against this shyster
I never did think he should be President. I only voted for McCain because of Gov. Palin.
McCain and the Huckster are just alike. Afraid to push obama on anything. I have lost faith in all politicians and would like to see someone run that is a normal citizen. No lawyer, no career politician, just a farmer, business person or homemaker. They know more about running a family or business than anyone in Washington today!!
Everything gullah said about Huckabee is spot on. I tried to tell the idiots that wanted him just what he was last time, and I couldn’t get people to listen.
Seems the truth is beginning to come out now. So far, everything I’ve read on here today is right.
Phoney Conservative, phoney Christian.
what the huck, over
The only viable candidates who are even considering running and who I would vote or are Palin/Bolton/Cain.
Thanks Tanya. I learned all the dirt on the Huckster from the website I mention earlier called OUTRAGEDPATRIOTS.
They had article after article for a number of weeks and they called it :
“THE HUCK DIRT ALERT’!
How appropriate. Many Christians fell for his “Christian” routine, but I say, “What is Christian about taking someone’s land?” He actually said there are instances when it is ok for the gov’t to TAKE a person’s land! That is NOT Christian and he does NOT have a theology degree. HE IS A LIAR and HE LOVES ILLEGALS.
Bolton/Cain works for me. Palin is not very good on illegal immigration.
Bachmann is better on illegals than Palin.
All one has to do is to look at huckabee’s record as a governor to realize he is decidely NOT a conservative – he is a RINO from way back. Never liked him. Don’t bother to listen to him.
Huckabee is a Jimmy Carter in wolf’s clothing.
He is an erstwhile tent preacher, passing the plate again and again, intent upon getting more.
Too bad “Slick” is already taken by Willie, because it fits Mike too.
Brother Dave Garner, at least, was funny. Huckabee makes the skin crawl.
Et cetera ….
@pre-boomer Marine
How right you are. This is a career politician who will say and agree to anything that is expedient for him. It is all about a quest for the ultimate prize. He shows no true allegiance to the popular independent and right wing values that have been so openly displayed of late. His loyalty is to himself.
I look at him and see a duplicitous individual willing to placate whatever enemy that may stand in his way of personal accomplishment, no matter the cost.
He’s just the same old, same old, that the RNC has been throwing at us for a long time. Hopefully he will be an insignificant has been by the time primaries roll around.
I’d venture to guess that HE pays Fox for his worthless show.
“Schmuckabee!”–
I like that one. Whoever came up with it.
I like generally like Mike Huckabee. He seems like a decent enough guy. However, if given another choice I would not vote for any former Baptist minister. They’re all fire and brimstone on the podium, but just don’t have the stomach for the fight in real life. That’s actually a compliment from a lifelong Baptist. We need good men whose compassion overshadow their personal feelings – leading a flock…..but in the White House we need a strong president who can do, on occasion, things Baptist ministers will not. Otherwise we’d still be fighting in the South Pacific.
please don’t let Mike Huckabee run for President….
Seemed to me that McCain & Huckabee were almost hand-picked-to-lose in the last election. Seemed to me that Obama had been hand-picked-to-win before any of us knew who the final candidates would be. How can we promote real conservatives for nomination before they set up the usual weak, RINO choice and sweep Obama back in? (shudder…)
Love Palin, but I think she has been damaged enough that she’d have to wait longer than the 2012 run to win. It will take some time to build back her credibility with those who have bought into everything said about her.
Follow the money. Somebody somewhere is paying for this RINO. Personally, he seems like a nice guy, but I DO NOT trust him. He is like Lindsay Graham and John McCain rolled into one. If the Republicans nominate him or Romney – make no mistake we WILL lose. Cain/West for me. The real change you can believe in.
This man is not aware of the teachings of Black Liberation Theology, or the focus of men like Dr. Wright, and others.
He is also not aware of the hate that many Blacks have for Whites because of slavery, and other issues in America.
The Prince Hall Masons, Eastern Star and others including the Muslims and many in Arab countries, planned, plotted, and finally electing one of their own to occupy the highest office in the land. This not only fullfilled Bible, Kenyan, and Muslim prophecies, but it also brought about a major change in the US.
Due to their loyalty to the Democrats, and also the fact that the Socialist/ Communist have taken over the Party for years, Obama was the one that would best fit the agenda. This agenda include not only the take over as POTUS, but the destruction of the US, the Constitution, and taking down the White Capitalist movement.
They may suffer, but many are not only proud but very loyal to the cause, and now Obama is POTUS, he can make decisions which can cripple the World., and bring America to her knees.
The Whites who chose him were blinded by his promise of change, now many are not too sure if he is leading in the right direction.
He is an exeption as a polititian, and they are fearful of a Race War if he is harmed in any way. They go along with the programme.
On the other hand the Blacks are being moved into the back of the bus, have to suffer, and is still no better off than before.
Jeremiah Wright is fully aware fo Obama’s past, but have to remain silent. he is now protected by the Black Muslims, lives with Whites in a gated community in a house worth $10 Millions.
Oprah, Farrakan, Father Flager, Jessie, Sharpton, and many others were major role players in Obama’s election.
it seems impossible that a Bi-racial man with a White mother, and Kenyan father would be POTUS. The fact that he hides his true identity from the American public, and is not questioned.
How could a man who came from the Loa tribe, those who were Arab Slave Traders, and desend from the Egyptian Pharoahs end up being POTUS, and is so highly reguared, by sons and daughters of Slaves? This is the big question.
The Republicans have to either toe the line, or get busted, or live in fear of defeat. This is a sad state of affairs for the world.

Good Luck
I remember the first time I heard Huckabee being praised by the LiarMedia and my reaction was immediately the same as WZ’s…Huckabee is a tool and a mole for the left. I cannot believe this tool is still even under discussion. Huckabee is as big a fraud as McCain and Mitt.
Maybe the Huckster has said some things from the pulpit that he doesn’t want revealed. Maybe he’s angling for the African American vote. In any event, while I admit he makes a good TV talk show host, he’s just the sort of slimy sleezebag politician that we don’t need to run. Both he and Romney remind me of used car salesmen.
HUCKABEE = MCCAIN = FAILURE. This rube is a RINO deluxe. You will find that the MSM loves Huckabee and Romney because they want the Republicans to offer another loser to run against the emperor in Chief! The Republicans had better learn from their previous mistake.
