One Very Nasty Piece of Work

In case anyone you know seriously thinks Mike Huckabee is a nice guy:

Attaturk at Firedoglake:

Conservative non-scholars (redundant?) like to praise conservative crackpot David Barton and his fantasy-fiction as history. Plus, we all know there isn’t a conservative politician alive who doesn’t proclaim the Second Amendment the greatest single piece of over-compensation ever given to poorly endowed ‘Muricans by the hand of God (hey…kinky).

Most importantly, when you are able to combine these two dementias into one sound bite, you are clearly worthy of being the Republican front-runner:

“I just wish that every single young person in America would be able to be under his [Barton's] tutelage and understand something about who we really are as a nation. I almost wish that there would be something like a simultaneous telecast and all Americans would be forced, forced — at gun point no less — to listen to every David Barton message. And I think our country would be better for it. I wish it’d happen.”

I suppose it is possible to argue (after all, see above) that wishing Americans be indoctrinated at gun point was somehow taken out of context (as opposed to being plainly fucking nuts) which is why it was later edited out of the video.

I remember reading back in 2007 some Arkansas sources warning that Huckabee had a mean streak. That the aw-shucks jayzus-luvin' facade hid a vicious fucker who enjoyed hurting people.

Now he's revealing his Inner Totalitarian Tyrant. Yep, I don't think it's too early to predict that Huck's gonna take the repug nomination in a walk, that he's gonna leave the snowbilly bleeding from near-fatal wounds, and that he's gonna give Barack Obama the fight of his life.
