Comments on: Huckabee Lies About His Iran NIE Cluelessness, Botches Timeline Again http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/31/huckabee-nie-again/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:28:04 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Lora http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/31/huckabee-nie-again/comment-page-4/#comment-4211225 Lora Wed, 02 Jan 2008 08:18:30 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/12/31/huckabee-nie-again/#comment-4211225 bilbobaggins: “For the life of me I can’t see how anyone who calls themselves a “Christian” could vote for a man who actively pursued paroling a rapist and then said rapist did it again and murdered his last rape victim.” Are you referring to Michael Dukakis? Comment by Manslagt — January 2, 2008 @ 12:12 am No, Manster (name of a spammed product), Bilbo isn't referring to Michael Dukakis. For the record, Willie Horton, the convicted murderer (in a gas station holdup) whose case was so dearly exploited by George Bush Sr., did indeed rape a woman during a weekend furlough granted under Dukakis under a program initiated by a previous Republican governor, Francis W. Sargent. But Horton did not murder her nor was he paroled. Huckabee paroled a convicted serial rapist and murderer, despite pleas from victim-survivors and the bereaved families of victim non-survivors that he not do so--apparently because one of the victims was a 17-year old distant relative of Bill Clinton and the religious right claimed that she must have been lying about the rape bilbobaggins:

It shocked me that something every news source in the country was treating as a major bombshell was unknown to a presidential contender. He revealed not only that he didn't read the NIE, but that he didn't read a single newspaper or Web site, or watch any television news in the 36 hours after this huge story broke. He missed not just the NIE, but all of the national and world reaction to it.
