    So that was what, like 10 years ago? I guess people can't change within that time period can they? I may not agree with him covering up something like this, but I can bet that many of us, put in the same situation, would've done the same thing. And for all those comparing the son to Michael Vick. haha. How many dogs were tortured and killed thanks to him, compared to Huck's son? At least Vick was making money off of it right. And to think that people are perfectly ok with having an abortion and yet they fight for the killing of animals. Wow, I really can't wait to see what happens these next few years. And for voting for a president, it's about voting for the lesser of two evils. All of them lie, cheat, steal, and cover crap up. It's human nature when given the power that they have. I pray whoever is voted in will actually stand for what they told the american people. And I pray they will defend our country and our dollar. God help us!!!

      No one I know would even consider such a horrible deed. What a sick comment.!

    Seriously. As if any sane govenor would say while firing this guy that the guy was being fired cause he wouldn't help cover up a stupid misdemeanor offense. If some guy is going to risk something like that and cover stuff up its not going to be for a misdemeanor, and then he's not going to be stupid enough to tell the guy that's why when he fires him. Ridiculous!
    It does sound like the kid killed and even hung the dog. Basicly euthenasia without a gun. Not a pretty picture. Probably pretty horrifying to any kid that saw it. But its not hard to imagine a teenager not knowing what to do in that situation and then maybe resorting to that. I bet he had nightmares for weeks.

      A teenager not know what to do and resorting to torture, give me a break. This kid is a sick puppy and it probably wasn't the first or last time he has done something like this. If he didn't know better than to torture a dog to death what was he doing as a couselor or even a boy scout for that matter?

    A dog is suffering greatly and two in charge of the camp take it upon themselves to end the suffering. Along comes disgruntled employee who was probally very popular un;der the Clinton Dynasty and Governor Huclabee puts an end to the discriminating of Hispanics good ole boys. What do you expect for a story.? This is just more of the Clinton method of personal destruction mudd. Too bad for Arkansas, for not standing up to this type of people sooner, but they are now. Careful of being gossips, of mudd not of truth.

      What a load of crap, you don't end a dogs suffering by hanging it from its neck from a tree and slitting its throat, then haveing daddy cover up the investigation. Who are you trying to kid?

      • Posted By: oneoldog @ 12/17/2007 5:17:33 PM

        Amen to that. both son and daddy are jerks!!!

    If a dog is suffering greatly you don't add to the suffereing by hanging it. Whey didn't they call the Humane Society to come and get the dog. Huckabee's covering it up shows how the son got that way in the first place. He should go back to preaching and get out of government. Let's see now, does his religion condone cruelty to animals? Hard to imagine he was ever a preacher.

    I know of a president that is responsible for torture of human beings, death to thousands of men women and children US and international, and the destruction of cities and society, not to mention the dogs, cats, gerbils etc. that are collateral damages . This type history may be good news for a candidate as American voters have supported maintaining this type of president.

    • Posted By: mglanders @ 12/17/2007 5:15:38 PM

      I didn't and don't support him. I never voted for him in the first place. I support the troops who are in Iraq and elsewhere in the world busting their butts so that you and I can have the freedom to write comments like these.

    Why was dog suffering?? Because Huckleberry's kid had kicked him right square in balls.

  • Posted By: mglanders @ 12/17/2007 5:07:38 PM

    Mike Huckabee is a liar and a cheat and should drop out of the Presidential race immediately. We sure as hell don't need men like him in the White House.

  • Posted By: mglanders @ 12/17/2007 5:04:16 PM

    From what I've heard and read, the dog was hung with a rope and then had its throat cut. Whether the dog was emaciated or not his act of animal cruelty was covered up by his father, who obstructed justice when he urged the local law enforcement officials to drop the investigation. You have a lot to answer for Mr. Huckabee and until you do I will never even consider voting for you and if you are elected I would be first in line advocating for your impeachment.

    Even if that is a mug-shot he looks like an unlikable "kid'. Why wouldn't he have made it to Eagle Scout? Daddy-O was the Gov.! What a pile of krap. The fact that aniumal abuse is ony a misdemeanor in Arkaksas says alot about that state too - and the state of the state's awareness. So this "Eagle Scout" is a Veterinarain too and has the know-how to humanely put an animal out of misery. I doubt it. He's an animal abuser and a system abuser!

    Hey, worse it coulda been someone else that got lynched by Hucklebees kid. It is Arkansas were talkin bout here.

    Makes me wonder what else Huckabee is hiding.

    It's interesting that the media chooses to smear the Huckabee name but failed to mention the other kid's name. And what does all this have to do with whether Mike Huckabee is fit for office? NOTHING! I'm a Mormon and like Romney (of course), but if Romney doesn't win the Primary I would vote for Huckabee in a minute! I think a Romney/Huckabee ticket would be great for this great nation!

    • Posted By: sunnynwarmer @ 12/17/2007 3:54:53 PM

      sooo.. IF this story is true, you see absolutely nothing wrong with Huckabee being fit for office?
      Haven't we had enough of lies, cover-ups and people believing their not accountable for their heinous crimes?
      ps: no one cares about the "other kid"; his dad isn't running for the presidency.

  • Posted By: ward70 @ 12/17/2007 3:44:56 PM

    to voter5068 - The other kid's dad isn't running for a public service position...the highest one in out country. And, it has EVERYTHING to do with whether Huckabee is fit for office....not the crime so much as the abuse of power of his then position in order to cover it up. Being in public office doesn't make you above the law. But, what the heck, what's one more corrupt, liar in office? It seems to be the American (or at least Republican) way!!!

  • Posted By: ward70 @ 12/17/2007 3:41:46 PM

    Voter5068 - What does it have to do with Huckabee being fit for office? Are you kidding? It's not the crime so much as it is the cover up....he used his power of office to block any sort of investigation or punishment. Exactly what we need...more corrupt liars in office!!! It's the American (or at least Republican) way!!

    Oh my! I do not see the relevance of his son (a teenager at the time) killing a dog and his father asking questions to see if he could his son. This is absurd that an incident like this would be a consideration for whether Huckabee would be a find president. You had Clinton who had sex with employees while married and the economy was great! National Debt going down for first time in a LONG time. You have Bush who feels compelled to have a say in the rest of the world with our children's lives to pay the debt and the dollar looking like garbage to much of the world and we sit here wondering if Huckabee trying to help his son makes him a possibly questionable president. GET REAL! We are truly pathetic.

      Um...yeah, that was a dumb post.

      • Posted By: oldheathen @ 12/17/2007 9:53:24 AM

        The real question is, where did this obviously very disturbed young man learn cruelty and abuse? No child is born with the instinct to torture helpless animals. Either Mike Huckabee, his wife or whoever raised this kid is responsible for whatever they allowed him to do or see that created a sociopath. Does anyone believe this was the first and only time Huckabee's son abused animals or children in his care?

        Huckabee's handling of this incident only makes me wonder what he is attempting to conceal about his own behavior. Unlike the prolonged torture of that poor stray dog, at least Huckabee's campaign will have the blessing of a quick death.

        • Posted By: no ordinary bunny @ 12/17/2007 3:35:15 PM

          The Boy Scouts later made him an Eagle Scout - I guess animal cruelty doesn't disqualify you, unless you are also gay or an atheist. If this is the kind of so-called "Christian" leadership that Huckabee demonstrated as a father and as governor of Arkansas, just think of what he could do as president!

  • Posted By: lharbina @ 12/17/2007 3:34:09 PM

    Huh... right on the heels of the Vick conviction.
    If this story has any ring of truth to it and this poor, mangy dog was tortured to death by David Huckabee, then shame on the family for trying to "make it go away" and the Boy Scouts for making him an Eagle Scout. David Huckabee should be prosecuted for this act and duly punished.

  • Posted By: scooter08 @ 12/17/2007 2:43:20 PM

    That story must make his father very proud. His father must have had some sense of pride because he mentioned his son made eagle scout (thank goodness I was worried if you might have tourtured a dog you wouldn't get it. Good informaiton to have) If you can be cruel to a helpless animal then you truly have no limits to the cruelty you'd do to others. And you are a worthless individual that should rot in the firey pits of the middle of the earth while dressed in saran wrap but that's just me. Maybe they can write parenting articles together?

  • Posted By: ducdebrabant @ 12/17/2007 2:24:36 PM

    That's one butt-ugly family too, by the way. I saw their Christmas card, and apparently Mike is the only one who's shed any of the lard. Hillary's brothers are pretty ugly too, but we've never had to look at them much.
