Huckabee is just as bad as the Rest

update in the comments

Until this afternoon, i was willing to give Mike Huckabee a little bit of credit. Based on his television appearances on Daily Show/Colbert as well as other news sources, i felt that, at the very least Huckabee was not just another Christian wing-nut. He seemed willing to talk openly about issues, such as gay marriage, health care, education and social-ad programs in a reasonable adult way. He also appeared to have a sense of humor (inasmuch as he is the VILSACK of the republicans.)

Even when Huckabee fans invaded the EoiaS last month, i was still sure that he was less scary than Brownback and Tancredo. Well now i can say that Huckabee is a fucking douche. LINK

"Sometimes we talk about why we're importing so many people in our workforce," the former Arkansas governor said. "It might be for the last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973."

first off: immigrants (both legal and illegal) have been entering the United States at a constant pace since the last major legal overhaul in the 1950s. It has nothing to do with the lack of americans to do jobs. Also, this assertion is classist. An Immigrate in the current political discourse is code for illegal immigrants from Mexico; most of whom end up working as unskilled labors. By crossing the streams of immigration and abortion Huckabee is arguing that only poor people get abortions. Which is demonstrably untrue.

second. the holocaust. really? are you fucking for real? you are more than welcome to talk about how you disagree with abortion, about how you feel that it is the wrong choice, etc. but a holocaust. fuck you and your dog. talk to people like they are adults, and not like you are trying to score points with James Dobson and Rush Limbaugh. oh. fuck you.
