Jon Perr of Perrspectives, who produced the Top 10 Moments in Mike Huckabee’s Extremism, just emailed me and said “his outrages occur far more quickly than can be documented, so I had to produce 10 More Moments in Mike Huckabee’s Extremism.”
Here’s what he came up with:
I’ll highlight this gem, where in a tome penned by Huckabee, he sounds an awful lot like our perv-obsessed friend The Peter .
Keep on surging, Huck.12. Huckabee Declares Culture War in 1998 Book
In advance of a White House run, most would-be presidential candidates author the obligatory book featuring a heroic biography and bland policy prescriptions. But as David Corn reports, in 1998 Mike Huckabee instead penned a declaration of culture war in his vituperative tome, Kids Who Kill: Confronting Our Culture of Violence.
While Huckabee today claims to be a “uniter” (”We’ve got to be the united people of the United States”), in 1998 he was anything but. Written the wake of a Jonesboro, Arkansas school shooting, Huckabee laid virtually of all of America’s ills at the feet of everyone - and everything - he hates:
“Despite all our prosperity, pomp, and power, the vaunted American experiment in liberty seems to be disintegrating before our very eyes.”
“Abortion, environmentalism, AIDS, pornography, drug abuse, and homosexual activism have fragmented and polarized our communities.”
“It is now difficult to keep track of the vast array of publicly endorsed and institutionally supported aberrations - from homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia.”

Shhhhh.
Don’t tell them yet. Wait until the Republicans nominate Huckabee, then unload on him.
Or we could wait until after Huckabee is elected, and then evaluate whether he is really presidential material, like we did with GW Bush.
Reavealign these more slowly would help them have more impact, but then you risk getting scoopped by another blog.
You guys do know you don’t have to worry about him, right?
Hes not gonna make it past Iowa and New Hampshire even if he wins both.
I’d be more worried about Benito Giuliani. Huckabee victories help him even more than they help Huckabee.
Wow. “Necrophelia”? I did not realize that having sex with corpses was “publicly endorsed and institutionally supported.” Does he even live on this planet?
However, in 1999, who’d have thought that a draft-dodging business failure who got his kicks out of blowing up frogs with firecrackers would end up spending the next eight years in the White House?? It’d behoove us not to get too complacent about the apparent unelectability of such people as Huckabee. Sigh. Likewise, in 1979, who’d have thought that a senile B-grade movie actor would manage to spend the next eight years in the White House?? Geez.

If his last name was “McDicker” instead of “Bush” it would have never happened.
Also, Bill Clinton keeping his pecker in his pants would have helped.

See! The fact that we can’t determine that he did something naughty is PROOF that he’s guilty!!! And what about Vince Foster?…

Um I think he did have sex in the oval office and subsequently lied about it under oath, which enabled Bush to talk about “restoring honor” or whatever to the Presidency. If that hadn’t happened, Gore would have won the election in a landslide.
Atomic, I don’t want to rehash the ’90’s, but suffice to say that if we compared Clinton and Bush, statement-by-statement, lie-by-lie, Bush would have The Clenis beat by a mile.
How can you tell Bush, or his minions, are lying? Their lips move…

Oh, sure, George W. has done his best to make every part of the political spectrum except the most partisan Republicans long for his predecessors.
There are conservatives, especially fiscal conservatives, that think Clinton was a really good President in retrospect because of the last six years. During the 90s they were cursing him out.
I’ve also heard liberals tell me how competent George Sr. was in foreign policy. In 1991, they were complaining about what a warmonger he was.
I’ve had my own liberal Democrat parents long for Richard Nixon, in the 70s I’m sure they thought he was a petty tyrant.
So, basically W makes anyone look good, except possibly Huckabee.
Huckabee’s pro-open borders extremism pisses me off the most. Finally, a politician that wants to legislate straight from the bible comes to bite conservatives in the ass. As a conservative, I have to say to you liberals: you were right. Keep ultra-religious nuts the hell away from the presidency.
