    That dog was filled with the power of Satan. David took a stand, stood up to that omnipotent dog and slew that evil beast. The children all rejoiced as we all were finally freed from the vicious canine's reign of terror. All of us present joyously attempted to hoist the Mighty David upon our shoulders (though we buckled and ultimately failed under his extreme weight). We could only explain our inability to lift him on the fact that he was filled with the Lord (however, ex post, his grossly obese figure would explain a lot).
    This would not be the last time David saved his fellow man from the grip of terror. I'll never forget the time in the airport when Radical Islamists were planning to hijack our airplane. David had received a message from the Lord (or maybe God told his father, who relayed the message, I can't remember the exact details; nevertheless though) that Muslims were going to commandeer our aircraft and crash the plane into the Statue of LIberty (because they hate us for our freedom). David heroically concealed a handgun within his luggage knowing that it would be discovered by security (but nevertheless valiantly put himself in that precarious position anyway). When our diligent TSA workers discovered the firearm, the Muslims were terrified of David's brashness and knew that God was not on their side, calling off their terrorist plan as a result. These are but two examples of when David saved my life...
    I still pray before I go to bed every night, thanking God for giving us the Huckabees...true American heroes. God Bless You...Everyone one of you

    Mike Huckabee did not try to use his influence to protect his son, Did anyone read the comment made by an individual who knew of the Arkansas director of state police John Bailey? Here is a 2001 article about Bailey in which the Clinton's used the police to drive them to places for questionable activities. (Bill's escapades, etc.) The police did not turn over the records It is believable to me that Bailey needed to be let go for reasons not related to the incident with Mike's son. No one knows exactly what happened with Mike's son, but Mike did not try to cover it up.

      First of all I think you need to get your facts straight Col. Bailey did turn over all documents and in fact had to order a search to find these documents to give to the independant counsel which he did immediately upon being asked of for these records. Looking at your same referenced article "Col. John Bailey, who was the director of the Arkansas state police at the time, ordered officers, who were not part of Clinton's detail, to search for the documents. They found the boxes in the attic and turned them over to Starr's investigators."

      Secondly Starr who was the independant counsel returned the documents when he was finished with them and the person requesting the articles after this was an editor of a news paper not an investigator or anyone who had anything to do with the whitewater investigation.

      Also important to note is the misuse of the state police by the Clintons happened before Col. Bailey was even the director of the State Police, and we have much to thank the Col. for as he is responsible for the new headquarter building designing it and getting the funding for it as well as other State Police buildings across Arkansas which were much needed.

    The son got caught hanging the dog at camp - who knows what he's done before and after to torture defenseless animals. Then he's caught with a gun? Does this not ring some alarms?

      What about the KIDS at the camp? Bet they need some therapy at best, and a rape kit at worst!

    it was the old mans job TO STAY OUT OF IT!!!

    • Posted By: tony.theitalian @ 12/18/2007 4:52:47 PM

      Huckabee can mention it to anyone he wants, especially if it involves his son. If you wouldn't step in to help your son get equal justice then I would question your love for family.

      • Posted By: William.Demuth @ 12/21/2007 10:50:02 AM

        His son needed help alright, mental help. All Huck did was leave another wacko running loose in this world so he could avoid the tarnish. If this is the best the Jesus freaks can role out the tide shall truly turn!

    Generally, anyone who thinks that they are above the law are guilty of breaking it on more than one occasion, and will continue to do so because they think that they are entitled to do so. Just because you do not agree with a law does not mean that you can "go around" it. Jesus had no problems with the Romans and the Romans had no problem with Jesus. The Sanhedrin had a problem with Jesus's growing popularity.

    This matters because Huckabee wants to be president. The way he handled his son's criminal act, attempting to have it swept under the rug, having his lawyer and chief of staff lean on the director of the state police, and then firing the director of the state police, makes him guilty of, at least, obstruction of justice. This shows a side of Huckabee senior that everyone should take note and be aware. This is a warning sign of what is to come if he is elected president. Also, I'll bet if anyone were to start digging around, Huckabee senior probably had to do some heavy leaning on the Boy Scouts in order for David to become an eagle scout after killing the dog at the camp. Doesn't say much for the Boy Scouts that this guy later made eagle scout...

    And this matters how? If any of this matters then none of the candidates are suitable.

    I guess people want Jesus to come back and run for president......oh wait...he had problems with that whole public disorderly thing with the romans...

    This is disgusting...

    Why do fundamentalist preachers always have such messed-up families?

  • Posted By: 2SHEA @ 12/21/2007 2:02:20 AM

    Sovos: You stated you were there...Are you saying that you took part in the execution of the dog? If so, you're as guilty as David and even if the dog had mange, it's not an incurable condition. Being 17 years old is no excuse for killing a helpless animal. Whoever gave David recognition for years of service and devotion to the camp was probably just "brown nosing" Mike Huckabee. If a person breaks the law...they should be arrested.
    It shouldn't make any difference if the persons Father just happened to be the Governor. If Mike Huckabee was any kind of true Christian as he claims, he would have cooperated completely with the investigation instead of destroying a mans career and lying about "asking him to resign".
    Just your claim that it was a "bogus" report doesn't take away the admitted fact that YOU were involved. Who are we to believe? You,... or the report? Comparing Mike Huckabee with Bill Clinton is a weak argument. That statement contends that the voters should be content with the "lesser of two evils".

    Mike Huckabee is a dangerous individual who used his political influence to ruin the career of a well liked law enforcement official. "Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son," says I. C. Smith, the former FBI chief in Little Rock, who worked closely with Bailey and called him a "courageous" and "very solid" professional.

    David Huckabee committed a malicious, sadistic act when he killed the dog who obviously needed a veterinarians care. Anyone who votes for Mike Huckabee is wasting their vote. Apparently, Huckabee believes that his family members are above the law and will do anything to shield them from punishment. Even so far as destroying the career of a lawman trying to investigate an incident that deserved a full explanation. Mike Huckabee is so deceptive and phony it makes me sick. People who fall for his evangelical BS are either senile or brainwashed.

    What we have here is a clear indication of the manner in which he intends to run the country
    Any man that would deliberately try to cover up an illegal act by use of political power does not deserve our confidence to be Commander in Chief of the United States.

    Look I was there. I worked with David for 6 years. The dog did have mange and was wondering around the entire camp climbing into bunks and literally dieing. Lets drag in the actions of a 17 year old boy that went on to become recognized and awarded by the camp years later for his years of devotion and service. Since I have known the Huckabees Mike has always been harder on his son then the authorities would want to show. Would you arrest your bosses son? I lost contact with David during College but I know this story and I know a bogus news report when I read one.
    Did we forget about the lovely show of character "Slick Willy" showed us wile in office. If the mud is going to sling lets compare apples to apples. Oh but wait this is a liberal media that we deal with I forget.

    The Clintons kill hundreds of people and this guy kills a single dog...Is this the best you can do? Its tough when a person has no real dirt.

    • Posted By: constantsolar @ 12/20/2007 10:04:41 PM

      Clintons??? You mean Bush right? and not hundreds, but thousands.

  • Posted By: JasonTcpa @ 12/20/2007 3:48:07 PM

    Can you believe that? Huckabee???s son was actually an imperfect teenage boy. Wow, now that is some top notch journalism. There is no way anyone will vote for him once this gets out.

    • Posted By: constantsolar @ 12/20/2007 10:00:38 PM

      Its not what the son did... Its whether the father used his position to shield his son from the law.

  • Posted By: hellbilly @ 12/20/2007 9:47:09 PM

    As an Arkansan and resident of Little Rock, I've got to say something.....HA,HA,HA,HA,HA.....we are so glad that the national press has finally started digging around here! This whole family is screwy and they have an incredible sense of entitlement. His wife's shopping sprees at the local Dillards are legendary. Interesting how she never seemed to pay with cash - always gift cards - hmmmm. Can't wait for them to start talking about good ole Janet - or as we locals lovingly refer to her, Jethrina (google it - it's a regional thing).

    Mitt Romney has what, 5 sons. Has he or anyone in his family served in our armed forces? Too good to serve, NOT good enough for me! If he wont risk his life or that of a family member to keep my country free, safe, and those of our allies the same, then he has no place on the path to the White House. I will not put my life in danger if he asks or orders me to. Let him or his sons lead the way...if they think they can!

  • Posted By: CALIFORNIAMARTY @ 12/20/2007 9:11:04 PM

    Huckabee is not fit to govern because he pardoned over 1000 felons including a rapist who weht on to rape and kill. He is not fit because he is a religious bigot. He is not fit to be president because he knows little or nothing about the world of business, outside of Arkansas. He is a second rater next to the brilliance of valedictorian, MBA and Juris Doctor
    Mitt Romney, who governed a Democrat controlled state, who saved the Salt Lake Olympics, both without pay at his request, saved hundreds of businesses and made a legal fortune doing it. He is anything but a bigot and his family life is
    impeccable. Mitt Romney is a giant and Huckabee is a small town, small time midget by comparison.

  • Posted By: matsterj @ 12/20/2007 8:58:59 PM

    shasta1981 you are correct. people who torture animals should get the same treatment that they themselves imposed on the defenseless animals they abused. I am with you 100% on that. And I would like to be one of the ones who gets to administer the justice. But, if it did have mange, they did the right thing. Look it up in the encyclopedia. I t is an agonising death. I am a trapper and it does make me ill when i see GODS creatures with mange or rabies. Was it an honorable death, no. But much less painless than what the animal was already going thru, this you can be assured.

  • Posted By: ManBearPig666 @ 12/20/2007 8:24:44 PM

    Can we please get our next president other than from the south - this guys kid reminds me of Billy Carter, or Roger Clinton or Neil Bush. Remember LBJ yanking the hound up by the ears. Now where is my case of BillyBeer - Who took my BillyBeer!!! -

    • Posted By: matsterj @ 12/20/2007 8:50:13 PM

      Who cares... Would it have been better if the kid used his concealed hadgun to dispatch this poor animal? YES. Then we would have all the anti gun and anti hunt nuts filling the page. If any of you have ever had the chance to see an animal with mange, then you can relate. Should he have hung the animalt to put it out of its misery? Thats his cross to bear. I once tried to run over a fox with mange. Oh, and by the way, some of the best smoke i ever got was from my preachers son.

      • Posted By: ManBearPig666 @ 12/20/2007 8:57:30 PM

        I care that all those southern boys seem to have some sort of mental disorder - did you take my BillyBeer?
