    Who cares what Huckabee's sick son did?

      Who cares...I am sure there are quite a few people that do. Thats the GLORY of living in this great country that you can actually voice an opinion. Did it happen? 2 beings know, him and HIM. I can think of more hmane ways to put and animal down that has mange. Has any of the disgruntled seen what mange does? Not in pictures or PETAs web site, but in the real?!? Not pretty, and I did try to run over the fox I saw that had it. What would the opinion be if he used his concealed handgun to end the missory of this poor animal? Then we would have the anti-gun, anti-hunt nuts filling the pages. Did we, as 17 year olds do all the right things? I didnt. I went to Korea with the U S ARMY. Single mans paradise. Heck, some of the best smoke I got was from my preachers son. Judge the man, not the son. And yes, the apple does fall very far from the tree.

    The entire incident: one report disputing another report...and firings, smell to high heaven. And it's not the heaven that the governor speaks about. Mike Huckabee strikes me as an "ok" guy, but we don't need another Jimmy Carter in the White House. I'll take Rudy's dysfunctional family any day over Mike Huckabee's. His son doesn't look too swift in the photo. Let's help M.Huckabee find another job.

      I appreciate your willingness to look at both sides of the story. Most people are not. Go to www.mikehuckabee.com and click on "blogs". Scroll down to 3 videos of Huckabee with Larry KIng. The 2nd one addresses the dog issue.

        Whoops, I meant this for texasstar below. But for gene2paris, try giving Huckabee a chance. Look over his website real good. He's not another Carter, He is strong against our enemies and will take a strong stance in fighting for our security. www.mikehuckabee.com .

          If he wants to fight...let him join the army.

    Thanks Newsweek for letting all of know how terribly bias you all are against Huckabee.

    • Posted By: mickeyrom @ 12/20/2007 8:35:41 PM

      The point is the father(Huckaby) used his influence to get the little monster off the hook.How can you ignore that?

    "FAT,STUPID,AND UGLY IS NO WAY TO GO THRU LIFE SON"?!?!...DEAN WOMER CICA 1975

    • Posted By: sunnynwarmer @ 12/20/2007 6:00:43 PM

      Actually, it was "Fat, stupid and drunk", as Dean Wormer said in "Animal House".. 1978.

    With the Hucksters long record in abuses of power in low ethics, governing dictatorship, brutal taxes, misplaced compassion and amnesty for illegal's, he now offers pipedreams of pro-life amendment, same-sex marriage amendment and Fair tax amendment which stand absolutely no chance of passing at all.

    Yet here the con artist leads the polls in Iowa because the voters refuse their responsibility and duty as a citizen to check their backgrounds...This isn't sad, it's pathetic!

    DAVID HUCKLEBERRY LOOKS LIKE AN ESCAPEE FROM A MENTAL FACILITY AND TO THINK HE HUNG A HELPLESS ANIMAL FOR KICKS AND THEN MKEE HUCKLEBERRY WHEN GOVERNOR GETS HIM OFF WITH OUT A MERE FINE !!
    WHAT WOULD MIKEE HUCKLBERRY DO AS PRESIDENT?

  • Posted By: South Carolina Joe @ 12/20/2007 4:41:06 PM

    As a non-christian, am I to believe that women are tortured and killed (like HUCKABEE's own son murdered that dog) if they don't "submit graciously"??? Huckabee gives Christianity a bad name... Stop running for President and START dealing with your own famlies psychosis - your wanton disregard for the life of that animal makes me ill! (HUCKABEE/VICK 08').

  • Posted By: cliokitty @ 12/20/2007 4:30:58 PM

    Hanging an animal is a sign of extremely deviant behavior and I highly doubt this is the only incident this boy has or will be involved in. This is how serial killers get started..... We can't prove how the father handled it, but if it is found that his son has not undergone serious psychiatric treatment, they have a problem.

  • Posted By: houseofsaints @ 12/20/2007 3:53:25 PM

    If I was ever going to vote for "Hickabee" he just lost my vote. So goes the saying "Like father, like son." If this is what an eagle scout is made of, I'm glad I only had daughters!

  • Posted By: dr doug @ 12/15/2007 6:22:03 PM

    Quite the contrary to the previous post, the relevance is Huckabee throwing hiw weight around as Governor to get his son off. Unfortunately this is apparently the Republican credo - "Do whatever you can to get friends and family out of trouble". If your name is Guiliani, you can even order the police department to drive and protect your "mistress" while you're still married. Republicans like to preach to others but can't quite live up to their preachings themsleves. Shame on them!

    • Posted By: tiedeast @ 12/20/2007 2:46:35 PM

      Dr. Doug,
      For someone with a Ph.D. you are pretty naive... Do you think it's just the Republicans that are guilty? Guess what... so are you, me, and the Democrats as well.

  • Posted By: stone621 @ 12/20/2007 2:34:40 PM

    The Huckester has peeked too soon. All of this old stuff is going to do real harm, drip, drip. Just like Rudy.

  • Posted By: dentalflosser @ 12/20/2007 1:09:08 PM

    why be in politics if you can't help some one out of a bind...Republicans sure do get into alot of binds.

    People have messed up children because they are too busy living their own lives and doing what they want to do to pay very much attention to what their children are doing. Is it relevant, yes. If you fail as a parent, I don't think you should be allowed to run the United States. You fail your children thats your problem, I don't want to give you a chance to fail my children.

    and to nannabear. I look at Bush and I don't see him getting hummers in the oval office, or committing perjury before a court of law. I see someone that does what he says and sticks to their guns. Which is only a bad thing if you don't agree with what he does. Does that make him a bad person? no

  • Posted By: yarddart152 @ 12/20/2007 12:09:20 PM

    Holy crap, who cares? Is this relevant in any way to Mike Huckabee? Sometimes people have messed up kids. Why should his son doing something stupid cost him his chance? Hell, Clinton cheated on his wife while he was president, and it didn't cost him anything. Then he committed perjury, and still nothing. I'm sure you can look at every candidates life and family and find something that if the media pursued it, would destroy their chances. So I say, stick to the stuff that matters media!!! you annoy me!

    I still want to know why Huckabee had each computer erased and destroyed when he left office, see link below. All of the things that are comming out against Huckabee proves that he is unfit for the Honorable title of President of the United States! Come on Newsweek, follow that story!! Find out why Huck went out and used taxpayer money to buy new hard drives!! I work in the IT field. There has NEVER been a virus that destroyed a complete set of computer systems that DID NOT make it on the nightly news. I cannot find ONE article about a virus infecting the AK computer system.. Sounds like this guy is up there with destroying CIA tapes!!

      There are so many lies and distortions about Huckabee for one reason: He was a republican governor in the mostly democratic state of Arkansas and the Clinton machine tried to manufacture dirt on him during an election year. It didn't work, as the citizens of Arkansas re-elected him twice. If you really want to know the truth, go to mikehuckabee.com and read the truth squad.

    He said this.... they said that... blah blah blah! Somewhere some how a dog died a horrid death, and nobody did anything about it, but play the blame game! HOW SAD! Jonathanty, why are you pointing to the Clintons, have you taken a look at this president lately??

    All of these "potential" candidates are horrible. It's all a matter of picking the best of the worst.
