Huckabee is: Dumbest Person in the World!

Molyneux · Post by **Molyneux** » 2008-01-15 08:17pm

The United States Constitution never uses the word "God" or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from "We the People." However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it's time to put an end to that.

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."

When Willie Geist reported Huckabee's opinion on MSNBC's Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn't immediately find much to say beyond calling it "interesting,"

Scarborough finally suggested that while he believes "evangelicals should be able to talk politics ... some might find that statement very troubling, that we're going to change the Constitution to be in line with the Bible. And that's all I'm going to say."

Geist further noted of Huckabee that if "someone without his charm," said that, "he'd be dismissed as a crackpot, but he's Mike Huckabee and he's bascially the front-runner."

Huckabee joins such luminaries as Sherri Shepherd as one of the dumbest fuckers on the planet. Leaving the country is looking like it won't be much of a joke anymore if this schmuck actually gets elected.

It's not as if we didn't already know that he wanted to turn the clock back four hundred years, but it's fun to see.

What a dumbfuck. That is all.

Some network should make a reality tv show about him. It would finally be a decent one.

Yeah, that whole Enlightenment...too radical! I saw Newt Gingrich on FNC last night, saying only the far loony left had elected officials. Wanting to dismiss the Founders' Enlightenment principles as too radical doesn't qualify Slimy Newt?

Well not so much as a shock, but it's scary that he's actually considered a front runner.

There are already plenty of countries who run their countries according to God's standards already. We've bombed the shit out of one already, rattling our sabres' at another, and we're bending over backwards for a third because they have a lot of what we want, even though their government in principle is no different than the first two.

Huckabee isn't the dumbest person in the world; he's the worst person in the world. Sure, there may be individuals who are more evil than he is, but at the moment he is poised to do more damage than anyone else, by virtue of being so popular while proposing such a radical action in the world's most powerful country.

Frigidmagi and I have been joking around about him being the "theocracy now" candidate since he announced his campaign.

We were only joking, we knew he was bad but not this bad.

Well, I'm hoping that he's dumb to think that he can say something like that without major backlash.

...I'm hoping.

I'd like to think this creeps the shit out of almost all moderates. Which is a bloody good thing. More in-fighting for the Red Team, more likely a successful run for the Blue Team.

It seems he's starting to creep the shit out of secular right-wingers as well. The Republikan Party is either going to come apart at the seams, or it will complete it's transformation into the American Taliban. There is no third possibility now.

Trying to look on the bright side of this, its more ammunition to throw in the face of assholes who insist the coutry is FOUNDED on fundy beliefs. Afterall, Hucka-bonehead wouldn't need to change the constitution if it truly were the theocratic document other fundy morons think it is.

I'm over Huckabee. I had hope for him, but I'll be damned if I vote for a theocrat.

Speaking as a secular right-winger...it's been creeping the hell out of me for awhile, but yes, this is profoundly scary.

What, is he going to rewrite the Bill of Rights to take away freedom of religion and freedom of speech? Is freedom of choice next? If so, freedom from fear is likely to follow.

READ HISTORY, Fuckupee! The US had GOOD REASONS to NOT become a military dictatorship in the years of the Great Depression and WW2.

I think Huckabible is about to find out that a Republican can indeed get the Dean Scream effect. I also think the fundies are about to find out they're simply being used as political hay.

I was under the impression that Huckabees entire candidacy was based on the fact that the fundies realize that they've been used as political hay.

Well, well, well. From one theocrat to another? God told Bush to attack Iraq, but what did God tell Huck-a-bee? I guess we'd better not to figure that out, especially by the way of social experiment.

Yes, a theocracy with nukes. I can hardly wait

Oh and the dumbest person on the world would anyone voting for him. Case in point:

arunma on christianforums wrote: Actually, Huckabee's belief in creationism is one of the reasons that I'll be voting for him, despite the fact that I despise the Republican party with quite the passion. Whether or not evolution is a religion, the fact is that it is treated as such by many atheist scientists and non-scientists alike, who venerate it as some icon of atheism.

Sure, he doesn't have that great of an economic policy. And his plan for Iraq is horrendous. But I figured I'd vote for him for no other reason than to break down an altar to Richard Dawkins. And besides that, why would I listen to "the scientists" position on political issues. What do they know about politics anyway?

OK. It's not like we needed anymore proof that Huckanut's voter base are the dumbest people in the country.

Would it be wishful thinking to hope that Huckingbutt's statement can be used to put him on trial for sedition?

At least he's honest and not pretending that the Constitution was somehow based on biblical teachings.

You sure he wasn't sarcastic here? arunma is a Theistic Evolutionist, AFAIK. I also go to Christian Forums.

Bill Maher called him out on this on Leno Tuesday night. Most of the crowd and Leno seemed taken aback that he would dog a front-runner (Maher outright called him a religious fanatic). How dare you mock a popular person who we will collectively turn on once he loses another caucus!

I certainly hope so. Sarcasm is hard to detect on the internets

I dunno, I think I'd rather Huckabee than Guliani if I had to choose from the lesser of two evils.
