...and mail it to people in battleground states. People need to be educated about these dangerous people. Pity Democrats don't do direct mail the way Republicans do. Too many would rather have clean hands than win. Until the Dems realize this is war, not a friendly game of bridge, people like those listed in this piece will enjoy undue influence in America.

Huckabee will not say so in public, now, but he knows these ding-dongs are beyond the pale. To heck with Huckabee... He wants support from these people.

But, Mike Huckabee, after a couple more primaries, if you ain't gonna be presideant, why not ask these whaacko "Christian" distorters to explain themselves? And then laugh when they try to explain? That would help to bring the USA back to a rational center.

Please do it. We need a bass player who talks sense to the rest of the band, even if the band breaks up. Bands always break up anyway.

Land of the totally nuts.

OK, it's time to take them down, one at a time, and I think Huckabee is the appropriate starting point. I applaud Salon's three-pronged broadside at Huckabee. If anyone had any doubts about his profoundly evil agenda, this article and the other two running concurrently should at least make believers of those of us who ought to know better anyway.

I am reminded, especially upon looking on Huckabee's face, of Keving Spacey's "Verbal" character in "The Usual Suspects", and the last words uttered in that film:

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

I'm here to say I think he does exist, and I think I've seen him running for President.

Any connections to fellow Arkansa preacher Tony Alamo? I met his wife Susan back in the day when I happened to stop for gas and food at their compound. The Huckster would look quite dashing wearing an Alamo jacket while playing in his band.

A really stupid question, since God doesn't exist. If God did exist, it would really be pissed off at the way America is acting, killing innocent people for oil, etc. If God did exist and was the all-knowing supreme creator, then God has obviously opted out of human affairs and doesn't give a crap about us, since no one has seen it or received any communication from it for centuries. Free will, remember. Thus, no reason to bless America. And if God did exist and cares about humanity, why does it allow all this stupidity to continue. Nope, forget about God, no help there. Why would a supreme being need anything from such ridiculous creatures like us? Guess what, folks, we're on our own and we have to clean up our own messes. We Americans are no better and in many cases worse than anyone else on this planet. So don't expect any blessings from anyone or anything soon. But you can expect a shitload of problems resulting from the actions of our bozo leaders. It's always been and remains all about the money.

They both have connections to Huckabee and make some of the others in this article look mainstream by comparison.

He's dangerous for the constitution. He's dangerous for the United States. he's dangerous for the world. This is a guy who will use the armed forces as his own personal tool of the New Crusades (and if that crusade takes him to "cleansing" the motherland, so be it).

This list alone should prove that Huckabee isn't out to be the nice fluffy guy from Arkansas. This list should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Huckabee will do the kind of damage to this country that George Bush can only dream about. He will shred the fabric of this nation.

It is the duty of every American who cares about liberty, freedom, justice, the Constitution, the Rule of Law, international relations and the separation of church and state to stand against Mike Huckabee and take him down.

in our politics, please. I am not in a pew, I am a citizen. I won't have my morality legislated to me by a christian Taliban. Stop it.

If they amend the Constitution to abide by the punishments dictated in the Good Book, that might not be so bad. Think about it, if adulterers are stoned to death, that'll wipe out a majority of the Republican Party, starting with most of their candidates, as well as most of the leaders of the Evangelical Cults, and a good portion of the residents of the Bible Belt.

It'll never happen, divorce would be illegal, even for Catholics would can afford to pay the Church for their phony annulments. And the moneylenders would be thrown out. No interest charging moneylenders? No adulterating politicians? Ain't gonna happen.

Huckabee needs to answer some questions about whether he means really doing what he suggests. If he wants a few selective changes, like legislating hetero marriage, but not others, like stoning adulterers, then he is just another Buffet Christian, only wanting to pick the parts of the Bible he can manipulate for his own end.

This will be a short arguement if this is pointed out. Very few who claim belief in Biblical inerrancy are really willing to follow Biblical injunctions.

And thank God for that.

The religious right gave us George Bush #43 and look where it has gotten us! Always amazing that these right-wing 'Christians" who are so against so many things, are so in favor of pre-emptive

war and don't seem to mind killing in the name of democracy. We can't let this militant bunch of voters give us another president. Pat in Idaho

If allowing states to become their own fundamentalist theocratic empires will settle the issues once and for all then I'm all for it. I am 100% in favor of unwinding the US to a loose confederacy a la before the Constitution if that will shut up the maniacs. I am 100% in favor of secession. I'll just move to which ever state doesn't want to brand me as an infidel. And if that means we have Christ's Republic of Free White Men where the South used to be, then fine. That's what they wanted and that's what they got. Good luck with that.
