A Son’s Past Deeds Come Back To Bite Huckabee

There's an awful lot of "alleges" and quotes from a fired employee in that piece. It's obvious that a minor did something wrong and regrettable resulting in a dead dog, and that the minor was in the Boy Scouts at the time, then he went on to recieve scoutings top honor, eagle scout, the rest is lost in history.

2thetruth, just because some of the crazy ramblings in your bible happens to have some superficial passing resemblance to what science is discovering proves nothing. So the creator created everything? Then who created the creator? I submit that the inate human psychological need for causation and narrative created him. There has never been a greater curse released upon the world of Man than organized religion!

Many assumptions made. The liberal media is desperately trying to hammer Huck because they are frightened of him. They don't have Huck in their back pocket, so this crap hits the fan. Look animal cruelty is bad. Mike Huckabee has never claimed that he IS Jesus, he just claims that Jesus is an integral part of his life and belief system. AS far as what Jesus would do comments - Jesus never lied, never killed a dog (with or without mange), only came to die for our mistakes. He was, however, constantly being accused by the religious and political leaders of his day. If Jesus, himself, being God in flesh, could be so criticized, then it surprises me not that Mike Huckabee is, too. But let's try to refrain from expecting our political candidates to be sinless (or their kids, for that matter also), O.K.? As I've mentioned before, if we expect ANY of these people to be perfect we'd better hang it all up. Imperfection is a human condition. Sadly, if Jesus Christ were running for office today you guys would be all over him for being an illegitimate son of a carpenter (after all, what do carpenters know of raising kids who can lead a nation?) and accusing his mother of being a juvenile delinquent. There would be some conspiracy theory linked to why the three maji ( astrologers) obstructed justice and didn't inform the authorities as to the childs location. And the overturning the tables in the synagogue would be a display of prejudice towards our Jewish population. Have as a leader a man whose half sister Mary sat and listened to a Jewish male (Jesus) teach instead of doing womans work? Why, some of you would have demanded both of them to be stoned? Come on, folks. You've got a son's acts linked to the candidate as if Huck would condone animal shelters to start hanging animals instead of euthenizing them. You are confusing imperfection with absolute intentional and repeated immorality. Have you even read how Mr. Huckabee stood by his wife when she was diagnosed with cancer during their first year of marriage - how they remained committed to each other and their marriage even though the doctors told them they would probably never have children. They haven't come up with any dirt on Huck cheating on his wife so the libreral slanted media has to reach for his son. Insulting Arkansas? The whole sate? Hmmmm. It did not go unnoticed that after the Larry King interview, and the question about this dog incident was asked, liberal media skunks ran a spot for the cruelty prevention ad. Obvious. They are running scared because Mike Huckabee isn't owned and has been rising as a contender. Merry Christmas to all who believe...and to all a fair fight.

Mike Vick tortures a dog..... and people want to burn him at the stake.
David Huckabee tortures a dog.....and its that damn liberal media being desperate for dirt.

Stop the hipocracy!!!!!

One of my kids once stole candy from a store (a thief), and the other one lied to a teacher (lier). Also, once my daughter killed a worm AND a grasshopper (killer). Should we call in the State Police for this? If yes, then I guess the rest of us perfect-people are free to go - Whew!

You know they eat dogs in Korea, Whales and Horses in Norway and that a VERY WELL KNOWN religion has to cut the throat of live animals in order to eat it . Don't kid yourself, this happens RIght In America Every Day!

hey

I agree with uspp459 - as a conservative theocrat, I think the crimes committed by the children of political officials should not be investigated. Huckabee may have pardoned a rapist and yeah, he may have obstructed justice, but please remember that Bill Clinton received a blow job from his intern!

For somebody who is "going down", Mike Huckabee sure is doing well in the polls. So I beg to differ that Huck doesn't have a chance. That's what they said in the beginning and look at him now. He isn't using big family money or selling out to corporate media or crooked lobbyists, either. kychow2000, Huckabee never said that he didn't believe in natural selection, he DID say that he didn't know as to the LITERAL translation of the Bible in the account of creation, because he wasn't actually there. Truth is, most creationists do NOT believe the earth was created in 6,000 literal years. Lumping all of us together, including Huckabee, is just as ignorant as claiming that all southerners eat grits. Actually, science has proven true the sequence of the creation of the universe as put down in the Bible. And what no one seems to recognize is that the Bible first introduced the idea that the Earth was a globe suspended upon nothing (Job 25:7), when the Greeks at that time believe the Earth was carried on the back of a giant turtle (not to put down Greeks, by any means). That's around 2000-1,800 B.C. I use common sense, knowing that natural selection DOES and HAS played a part in evolution of species - after all, GOD created all of the variations in the gene to begin with whether at that time they were displayed or not. The Bible does not rule out genetic mutations either. Turns out, the more people attack those who believe in the Bible as God's Word, the more intelligent us "Jesus freaks" look when your science proves us right. Huckabee made it plain (or didn't you people actually listen )that he does NOT believe every thing in the Bible is meant to be taken absolutely literally. He is quite simply, personable and comes across as genuine and unrehearsed. Meeting him personally, I say he is absolutely gracious and polite, likeable and intelligent and has a terrific sense of humor. I don't think any of you commenting in such an ugly way have actually met and talked to the man, himself. His demeanor seems absolutely unsolicitous. The issue of the slanted liberal media has been totally dropped. Probably because it has become obvious to even the most unconsious viewer(case in point see last posting). As much as I love animals this involved His son and a dog not thousands of starving children or pocketing millions in government funds. It takes a preacher's kid to know how tough it is being one. Have any of you been? Preachers know their kids grow up under unnatural pressure to be growing up under public scrutiny. Right or wrong it 's just that way. Kids grow up with issues. Preachers grow up compensating at times. But Huckabee is not the beast you make him out to be.

It???s O.K if you don???t trust Mike Huckabee. He has to earn your trust like everyone else. However, I'm surprised that many of you do not want to hear the other side. This is part of trying to find the truth. Many of you would rather not know the truth and go with your initial impressions or opinions. I challenge you to try to seek the truth by learning the other side. Go to www.mikehuckabee.com and click on blogs. View the 3 videos of the Larry King interview. The 2nd video especially includes a response to the dog issue. I assume that many of you will not try to look at the other side. You would rather try to diminish the reputation of a man of character like you did to Bush.
