    Huckabee's Christmas Day Threat

    On Christmas, when Mike Huckabee went pheasant hunting and claimed to have killed one of 4 birds flushed, he also threatened with a shotgun anyone who did not vote for him in the IA Caucus. I am not making this up. It was reported on the CNN Ticker, but disappeared the next day. He literally made a very clear statement to the effect that this is what could happen to someone who oppose him, referring to the dead bird. This is not funny and if you or I were to make such a comment to the president or in an airport, we would be jailed immediately. Why does no one speak of this? Why can a Christian man say such a thing and he is not confronted? This is amazing. I don't know who Mike Madden is, but if you have a shred of credibility, you will research this and broadcast it. Each day, I have less and less respect for Salon. It avoids real issues and ignores those who really have a strong opinion, such as Dennis Kucinich. Even John Edwards gets little attention for his courageous statements.

    Get real, folks, or pack it in.

    peace,

    st john
