On CNN’s Larry King Live last night, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said that he would “absolutely” allow a gay man or woman to serve in his administration. “I have people who are homosexual that work for me in the governor’s office,” noted Huckabee:
KING: Could a gay be in your administration?
HUCKABEE: Absolutely.
Why not?
People are competent because — not with anything to do with their sexual orientation. I have people who are homosexual that work for me in the governor’s office. And it was not a qualification. I think you should never (INAUDIBLE)…
In the interview, Huckabee also indicated that he would not change the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Watch it:
Huckabee’s openess towards LGBT employees may indicate that he is personally tolerant towards gay men and women. But, as his reticence to change Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell shows, he is still in favor of using the power of government to discriminate against gay Americans.
Huckabee is against gay marriage, arguing that “civilization” may not survive if “what marriage and family means” is “rewritten.” As Governor of Arkansas, he “avidly” supported the state amendment banning gay marriage. That wasn’t the only anti-gay public policy Huckabee pushed in Arkansas:
– In 1997, Huckabee requested an amendment to a state Senate bill stating “that it is Arkansas public policy to prohibit sodomy to protect the traditional family structure.” [Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 1/23/1997]
– In 1998, Huckabee supported banning gay men and women from acting as foster parents because “it is not in the best interest of children.” [Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 7/29/1998]
– In 2003, Huckabee said “If you ask for survivor benefits to be paid to a same-sex survivor, I think we have a right to say no to that.” [Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 7/3/2003]
Additionally, in the past, Huckabee has spoken of homosexuality using some of the most divisive and hyperbolic rhetoric possible:
– In a 1992 questionnaire for the Associated Press, Huckabee claimed that “homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk.”
– In his 1998 book, Kids Who Kill, Huckabee compared homosexuality to necrophilia, decrying “publicly endorsed and institutionally supported aberrations–from homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia.”
While Huckabee now wants to claim that he has no personal animus against gay Americans, his record suggests he has no problem using the powers of government to discriminate against them.
How very Christian of him
December 18th, 2007 at 3:29 pmhe doesn’t have a problem with killing dogs, unless you’re going to have sex with the corpse later.
December 18th, 2007 at 3:30 pmIn keeping with the season, Schmuckabee is as ‘nutty as a fruitcake.’
December 18th, 2007 at 3:32 pmso when the good book says to turn the other cheek, Ol’ Huck takes it as turn both cheeks and turn them away.
December 18th, 2007 at 3:34 pmNone of this suprises me comming from a conservative evangelical christian (a real evangelical christian, unlike most politicians who just play one on TV).
December 18th, 2007 at 3:35 pmOl’ Huck hates them homosexuals, but he LOVES criminals and pardons their sentences at will.
As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee had a hand in twice as many pardons and commutations as his three predecessors combined.
The case he’s asked about most concerns the parole of a castrated rapist who later killed a woman.
Although the Republican presidential contender and Southern Baptist preacher plays down any personal involvement in that release, Huckabee granted 1,033 pardons and commutations in his 10 1/2 years as governor of Arkansas. The acts of clemency benefited the stepson of a staff member, murderers who worked at the governor’s mansion, a rock star and inmates who received good words from their pastors.

December 18th, 2007 at 3:47 pmHe’ll be grilled to repudiate those statements repeatedly.
If he does, he loses his base, if not, the rest of the nation will see how dangerous this religious fanatic is.
Whoa! TMI on Huckabee! And I believe that we are just scratching the surface of a very rigid mind here. He’s on his best behavior and this is what he’s all about?? I can’t imagine in my wildest of nightmares what else this poor sick soul believes.
Obviously, he had a totally repressed childhood and is suffering from an under-developed world view as well as a very limited concept of what a life of non-judgment and unity can be all about.
I think that Gomer Pyle would make a better president because at least he plays at “being ignorant”; when it comes to incredible stupidity and ignorance, I’m afraid that Huckabee’s the “real deal”.
This man is downright scary!

December 18th, 2007 at 3:52 pmI don’t even think the reichwing christofascist can stomach the likes of this guy. They know now that they were used like toilet paper by Bush in the last election. They’d have to be a bit gun-shy right now. I think this: If it walks like a hypocrite, talks like a hypocrite, acts like a hypocrite, it’s probably Huckabee!
December 18th, 2007 at 3:53 pmYou sure you want to go through with this Chucklebee? It’s about to get ugly. For such a family values kind of guy we haven’t seen you showing off that wife of your’s yet. Come on bring her and the young ones up front where we can all have a look at them and ask a few questions. Got rope?
December 18th, 2007 at 3:56 pmRUCerious,
I guarantee he will get the nomination. The Republican Party and its hopes lie with the Evangelicals now. They have found their guy and will take him to the nomination. And then he will get exposed as the zealot he is.
As I said, the Republican nominating process, is as good as over.
December 18th, 2007 at 3:57 pmOK then CHL since you know everything, who will be the nominee then?
December 18th, 2007 at 3:58 pmI’m glad that Huck at least is willing to work alongside a gay person — apparently he doesn’t think it’s a contagious condition, as some people do.
He’s got a long way to go on some of his other beliefs, though:
“Huckabee is against gay marriage, arguing that ‘civilization’ may not survive if “what marriage and family means†is ‘rewritten.’ ”
– This is what people said about allowing interracial marriage. A frequent argument was that “if you allow whites to marry blacks, next you’ll be allowing people to marry animals.” As we have seen, interracial marriage has hardly damaged the institution.
“…it is Arkansas public policy to prohibit sodomy to protect the traditional family structure.â€
– And how did Huckabee plan on enforcing this law? Maybe I don’t want to know. I suspect that he felt the “traditional family structure” would best be served by forcing the Larry Craigs of the world into public restroom stalls.
“If you ask for survivor benefits to be paid to a same-sex survivor, I think we have a right to say no to that.â€
– Even if that survivor was a partner for years, and even financially dependent upon the deceased. Gays make lifetime commitments just as straight people do, yet their commitment still isn’t supported by society.
So I guess Huckabee can work with a gay person. But can he look that co-worker in the face and say, “I can make a lifetime commitment to my partner that is recognized by society. You can’t. I can have sex with my lifetime partner. You can’t. And if I die, my dependent partner will get survivor benefits. If you die, your partner won’t.”?
December 18th, 2007 at 3:59 pmThis man is downright scary!

You deplore deeds, and then you whine,

“…and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk.†— Huckabee, 1992
—————————————————
I hope he realizes by now — 15 years later — that homosexuality is not, nor ever has been a public health risk.
Promiscuity, however, is. And always has been. For gays and straights alike. Not just for AIDS, but for all STDs.

Gays in the workplace, military or legal marriage pose no threat of any kind to our democracy, strength or moral standing.

In a 1998 book decrying American culture, Huckabee was no seeker of common ground. He drew stark lines, equating environmentalists with pornographers and homosexuality with pedophilia and necrophilia. He also declared that people who do not believe in God tend to be immoral and to engage in “destructive behavior.” He drew a rather harsh picture of an American society starkly split between people of faith and those of a secular bent, with the latter being a direct and immediate threat to the nation.
Two of the 14 points of Fascism brought to you by Mike Huckabee:
3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
The most significant common thread among these regimes was the use of scapegoating as a means to divert the people’s attention from other problems, to shift blame for failures, and to channel frustration in controlled directions. The methods of choice—relentless propaganda and disinformation—were usually effective. Often the regimes would incite “spontaneous†acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditional national enemies, members of other religions, secularists, homosexuals, and “terrorists.†Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled as terrorists and dealt with accordingly.
8. Religion and ruling elite tied together
Unlike communist regimes, the fascist and protofascist regimes were never proclaimed as godless by their opponents. In fact, most of the regimes attached themselves to the predominant religion of the country and chose to portray themselves as militant defenders of that religion. The fact that the ruling elite’s behavior was incompatible with the precepts of the religion was generally swept under the rug. Propaganda kept up the illusion that the ruling elites were defenders of the faith and opponents of the “godless.†A perception was manufactured that opposing the power elite was tantamount to an attack on religion.
For those of you who want to know, FACT – According to the October 5, 2006 issue of Pediatrics, the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, 98% of molested boys and 99.6% of molested girls are victims of HETROSEXUALS.

December 18th, 2007 at 4:35 pmThe only area on which we may differ with regard to sexual preference is whether or not it should be a protected classification under state and federal workplace discrimination laws.
Comment by cold_hard_left — December 18, 2007 @ 4:13 pm
Even though I’m sure we differ on this point, I suspect we probably aren’t too far apart.
I support protected classifications under discrimination laws ONLY when that classification can produce evidence of ongoing widespread discrimination (one or two isolated cases of discrimination by nutcases don’t count). For example, I don’t support people with blue eyes being a protected classification, because there hasn’t been widespread discrimination against people with blue eyes.
There has been widespread discrimination practiced based on race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, physical disability (when that disability is irrelevant to the situation), and even weight. Therefore, I support anti-discrimination laws based on these characteristics. Common sense must prevail, however. No one should be required to hire a paraplegic to scale telephone poles, a dark-skinned model to appear in a Coppertone ad, or an obese man to model junior miss fashions.
You make an interesting point about increased litigation. Yes — one of the nasty little byproducts of making laws is lawsuits. It’s frustrating when somebody sues you with the claim “you fired me because I’m ____________ (fill in your favorite protected classification here)”. And it’s entirely possible that had nothing to do with the firing — you fired him because he’s a jerk. No matter what system you set up, somebody will abuse it.
However, litigation today will usually favor the alleged discriminator — UNLESS the alleged discriminator has established a pattern of discrimination (for instance, never promoting black employees despite their having the same qualifications as white employees, or always firing somebody after they admit they’re gay), or if the alleged discriminator has blatantly and publicly made admissions that the discrimination was race, religion, gender or whatever based.
I would love to be able to do away with protected classifications altogether. I truly hope that someday we will all judge people on what they do instead of who they are.
December 18th, 2007 at 4:39 pmIf Republicans and Conservatives don’t have the right to sue the Center for American Progress should it refuse to hire them because of their political beliefs, why should people be able to sue private employers for refusing to hire them because of their sexual preference?

December 18th, 2007 at 4:47 pmI don’t care how much the Repukes tout that Gay Marriage will destroy traditional marriage, it has not and will not affect my 30 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, which is longer than most Repukes stay married, uh, Newt, Rudy, and all the rest.
I know that the right just has a warped sense of reality, a very warped one.
And how come Atheists stay married so long, maybe it’s the lack of religion and just good personal values.

At this point, I’m against conservatives and republicans, since they have proven over the years their inneffectiveness, weakness, incompetence and lack of compassion. The only thing they’ve been good at is winning questionable elections. Their foreign policy has weakened America and our military, their domestic policy has divided the electorate against itself. They are without scruples and ethics, and have admitted their desire for a One World Government that would be used to enable the rich to get richer, on the backs of the 98%. The next election will only be a tiny little step in taking back our country from traitors and opportunists; if it can be done, it will take many years. there are very few candidates that are worth the effort, and the republican slate is an international embarrassment. corporate bribery has all but ruined our country, so whoever can stand up against the big money will get my support.

Born-again Christians are just as likely to get divorced as anybody else in American society, and the vast majority of those identifying themselves as divorced and born-again actually got their divorces after converting to Christianity, according to a new book called The Divorce Reality.
In the churches, people have a superstitious view that Christianity will keep them from divorce, but they are subject to the same problems as everyone else, and they include a lack of relationship skills,” said Donald Hughes, author of The Divorce Reality and editor of the JesusJournal.com Web site. “Just being born again is not a rabbit’s foot,” he said.

December 18th, 2007 at 5:10 pmDon’t let the troll’s “logic” deceive, or distract, you. The fact of the matter is the Huckster’s individual beliefs are irrelevant.
What is relevant is that he has proven, by word and deed, that he will enact policy based on what his Faith dictates. This includes decisions on scientific issues which surpass his understanding or conflict with his preconceptions. He has publicly expressed his belief in Biblical inerrency. Can he be trusted to make sound decisions based on the latest data?
Perhaps most disturbing? He has stated, unequivocally, that he refuses to separate his Faith from his professional life. This fact, alone, causes me to think he should be exempt from any public office.

December 18th, 2007 at 5:25 pmT’was the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a conservative was stirring, except for Charles Napier Mouse;
The stockings were hung on Chimpy with care, in hopes St. Huckie would soon be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of trust funds danced in their heads;
Then back in Iraq there arose such a clatter, I turned on the news to see their children’s blood splatter.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof, the prancing and pawing of Larry Craig’s hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, down the chimney St. Huckie came with a bound.
He was scary and hump, a right wing old elf, and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, soon gave me to know I had a lot to dread;
And laying his finger aside of his nose, he took a big snort and up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, all he wanted was the keys to the missiles.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, vote for me and good-night

This refusal to take responsibility for anything is part of what and who they are. The first WTC attack happened 30 days into Clinton’s first term and there is absolutely no record of Clinton or anyone associated with his administration blaming papa Bush for that attack. And we weren’t attacked again by radical Muslims until 9 months into W’s administration. Do they give Clinton ANY credit for “keeping us safe” for the rest of his 8 years? Of course not. Fair play is just not in their nature.
And, they’re simply unable to grasp the facts - Frank is sure the anthrax attacks were part of the Muslim attack even though it has been documented that the anthrax in question originated in a U.S. military facility. Can’t these idiots even remember that an employee at a U.S. facility tried to sue the government for implicating him in the attack?

I thought you left in a huff because people weren’t properly respectful to you. At least, that’s what you said in another thread.
December 18th, 2007 at 5:36 pmMissMolly, of course you’re right. And, yes, the character was a Colonel. I’m not “pretending” to be anything any more than he’s pretending to be cold, hard and left.
The main General in the story is played by George C. Scott - General Buck Turdjeson.
