Huckabee To Broadcast His Fox News Show From An Israeli Settlement
Israel’s Haaretz reports that “former U.S. presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee plans to broadcast his weekend show on Fox News” from a settlement construction site in East Jerusalem:
New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind said Huckabee will air the talkshow during a solidarity visit to the site of the project, which is in the Palestinian neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
Hikind, who is active in right-wing Jewish causes, told Haaretz that dozens of U.S. activists will participate in the mission, in order to express their support for the project and the man behind it, Irving Moskowitz.
Hikind is a former follower of Meir Kahane, a Jewish extremist who was assassinated in 1990. Two Kahanist organizations, Kach and Kahane Chai, are on the U.S. State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
Irving Moskowitz is a Florida-based gambling magnate who funds right-wing pro-Israel organizations in the United States and radical Israeli settler groups and settlement projects in the occupied territories, like the one in Sheikh Jarrah. Moskowitz is also a longtime funder of conservative think tanks like the Hudson Institute, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, and the Center for Security Policy (CSP).
Huckabee has been an outspoken supporter of Israeli settlements — and opponent of a two-state solution. Last July, Huckabee told World Net Daily that “the two-state solution is no solution, but will cause only problems. … The Palestinians can create their homeland in many other places in the Middle East, outside Israel.”

I’ve got a better idea.
Why not do the huckster show from the inside of Jesus burial crypt?
July 21st, 2009 at 6:17 pmsince dingleberry huckabee’s already going to be in the mideast i think this bunghole should continue on to iraq and film some shows there…outside the green zone of course.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:19 pm* * *

his swanky bachelor pad at
the top the huckabee building
in beautiful downtown little rock.
. .. ….

:)
July 21st, 2009 at 6:20 pmNow that’s mighty fundamentalist christian of him. Is he bringing a red heifer with him?
July 21st, 2009 at 6:25 pmI wouldn’t be sad if somebody blew his ass clean up…
July 21st, 2009 at 6:26 pmUpdate: A source now tells me that Fox News has denied the Haaretz story, and that there are no plans to do ‘Huckabee’ from East Jerusalem.
Soooo, open thread?

July 21st, 2009 at 6:33 pmDamn. Just when I thought a Hucklebee thread would lure out Darryl. Remember when he was going to be the next President?
Me neither.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pmOpen thread? I LOVE the new vote feature. I LOVE coming in and seeing ProudMoron deleted, Acedickhead, deleted, RealityPunk deleted. I sometimes just open their thread and without reading a thing give them another votedown on general principle for hurting my head with their stupid in so many worthless posts.

breaking.
the sickness that is
fox news.

July 21st, 2009 at 6:50 pmIf he did go, would we have to let him back in?
July 21st, 2009 at 6:52 pmHopefully he remembers the ninth commandment(thou shall not bear false witness(lie)) while in Jerusalem.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:00 pmI am still puzzled by the close identification between the conservative movement in the US and Israel -which is what makes this rumor credible.
Weirder still considering fundamentalist Christians (the Republican base) are essentially anti-Semite.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:00 pm“The Palestinians can create their homeland in many other places in the Middle East, outside Israel.”
Israel is a state created in the middle of Palestine some 60 years or so ago by Zionists who also considered setting up their Jewish state in locations including South America, and who finally selected Palestine – with some help from England and the US, mind you. To suggest that the Palestinians, who have living in the area for thousands of years, should ‘find someplace else to live’ is a transcendent insult. The least we can hope for is a two state solution, let everyone cool down for a few generations. In my mind Huckabee’s comments are about as ignorant as they come.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:08 pmHuckabee’s comprehension of Israel is probably limited to Fidler on the Roof.
“If I were a rich man……..”
July 21st, 2009 at 7:10 pmIf anyone is interested, belacifer lacca is fighting a couple halfwits on this thread.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:13 pmGregor, it’s not that the Fundies give a shit about Jews or Israelis, it’s all about End Times! Jerusalem cannot be divided or else Jesus won’t show up again, so the Fundies will do and say and fund anything that reunites Israel and brings back Big J.
Of course, according to Fundie dogma, the Jews who didn’t accept Christ will all die, but I don’t think they emphasize that when they send their suport checks.
PEACE
July 21st, 2009 at 7:16 pmBully for Huckabee!
July 21st, 2009 at 7:17 pmWhen they find out Huckabee wants to convert them to Jeebus….that could be a problem.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:18 pmHuckabee is doing this,just like many others at Fox, to please his new boss media mogul Rupert Murdoch who is one of Israel’s most zealot supporters,and to please also the extreme religious Right,in preparation for his 2012 run.
Since I do not watch Fox anymore,and never did in years,Huckabee’s act shall have no big effect on me.

Huck is an idiot. Doing what idiots do. Of COURSE you approve. Birds of a feather
July 21st, 2009 at 7:22 pmIt’s unfortunate that Israel is turning into a country similar to Nazi Germany. Israel reminds me of apartheid South Africa only much worse.

What’s this? Is Huckabee paling around with terrorists?!
July 21st, 2009 at 8:12 pmSo faux news backed off this stupid idea?
July 21st, 2009 at 9:21 pmIsrael is gonna lose this round and the twice dirty dirt killing spree of yore. I don’t care what repug they get to kiss thier ass.
July 21st, 2009 at 9:35 pmIs squirrel Kosher?

Gregor Samsa and spencers mom,
The day the Republicans wrapped the Bible in red, white and blue, it was trouble.
I wonder if the Republicans hijacked the fundamentalists or the fundamentalists hijacked the Republican Party. They are a demented bunch.
The religious right appears to be trying to force biblical prophecy, but in some circles this would be viewed as forcing the hand of God. Not a real cool thing to do.
humbly, flight
July 21st, 2009 at 10:12 pmWell they had better hide the Shellfish because that man is EATING!
That guitar doesn’t hide the belly anymore. Bypass!
July 21st, 2009 at 11:28 pmHuckabee comes across as this jovial, likable guy, but apparently he’s a fan of ethnic cleansing. Who knew?
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:38 am———–
Authorities arrested Aaron Bruns in February after investigators said he had been sharing pornography on a social networking Web site. Bruns pleaded guilty in May to possession of child pornography.
On Thursday, July 17, former National Public Radio science editor David Malakoff pleaded guilty to downloading videos of young children being raped, but was not sentenced to spend any time in prison.
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:44 am———-
Well, damn! You don’t get prison time for child rape porn?
But, if you have a pound of pot in your closet…
The Palestinians can create their homeland in many other places in the Middle East, outside Israel.”

that’s the scary thing about him. He comes across as a likeable, even reasonable guy, but the positions he holds…
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:50 am#21 — My comment was facetious, not approving. I am NOT an organized religionist and a political independent.
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:27 amHe reminds me of gomer pyle.
I’m waiting for him to say “shazam.”
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:34 amWhen will Mr. Huckabee make up his mind? Is he going to be a preacher or a comedian?
