OK sorry for the vanity, but I'm darn frustrated at what I just saw on my favorite channel - FNC.
I've been a daily, loyal viewer since they came online and first begin their uphill struggle against then-dominant CNN. No fair weather viewer here. When I'm not watching FNC, usually I've got Fox Business Channel in the background. So it takes a lot for Fox to tee me off like this. But I'm plenty teed off:
(Embarrasingly obvious) Republican 2012 candidate wannabe Mike Huckabee, is filling in for BOR today.
So far so good. Huckabee works for Fox, fair and square. But he leads his guest spot with - a smear at Sarah Palin!
How does the (embarrasingly obvious) Hucakabee start the show? Taking note of the weekend Governor Palin decides to change direction - starting this weekend - to narrate she is "losing popularity".
BUNK!!!
Mike Huckabee should be better than this. And he should step up to the plate and offer a retraction.
Recuse himself, from this "story". It's transparent and distasteful.
It's unseemly, and inappropriate for Huckabee to so obviously be ABUSING his spot at FNC to try to game for campaign advantage in 2012.
Huckabee stepped over the line, IMHO. Someone over at Fox needs to reign him in just a bit.
/irritated FNC fan rant off
Go Fox. :)
‘uck Huck.
Breathe in . . . breathe out .. . better???
No worries. This will come back to bite him if he’s not careful.
My intent exactly. :)
I agree and that is the first thing I thought as well. Huckabee strikes me as that type of church member who talks the good talk but then slanders you behind your back. The Palin episode has not aired yet I suspect he’ll make underhanded comments kinda like he tried to make an issue of Romney’s mormonism while claiming he wasn’t making as issue of it.
No one gives a damn about HuckaLoser. He can’t even raise money for his Pac. He lets people go cause they are not making any money. I twittered him and told him to get over himself, Sarah is POPULAR and he is YESTERDAY’S news. I expect better from Fox News but even they have gone a little left in the past few months. Pretty soon this will be my only place to get news from, because I have ZERO trust in the media
Yank Huckabee off the air.
Bad news. Bad ethics.
Huckabee should know about not being popular. He never was. The debates proved he’s nothing more than the whiny, ‘what about me’ jokester dork who never played with the big dogs.
Palin is right where she wants to be.
This is why I will not vote for Huckabee. He is the one that is a loser.
Part of the reason for Palin’s lower number (40% approve BTW) is because alot of people dont know the REAL STORY behind the so called ethics investigations. Many people just read the headlines and dont bother to real inform themselves about what going on there.
I’m sorry. I switched to NCIS on USA channel when I saw Chuklebee come up.....
Well Laura Ingraham is on vacation this week so they had to call the 3rd string.
Huckabee needs to be taken off the air! This is the scoundrel who gave us McCain. Had he dropped off the race, Romney would have won.
The people who can take care of Huck, are his fans. They can stop watching, and when he runs again, they can vote for someone else.
The Washington Compost poll is RIDICULOUS. I look at the Rasmussen poll and see all I have to see. 70+ percent approval from the GOP, 20 percent approval from Dems, and rising poll numbers with Independents. Rasmussen is MUCH more reliable then a newspaper that is in the tank for Obama. What next, a Huffington Post poll LOL
Your point is well-taken. The media uses their skewed polls to drive a narrative because they know people just skim the headlines.
Had Team Romney not backstabbed Gov. Palin and her children,
Obama would not be Pres_ _ent.
Huckster is one of the reasons we got McCain
I’m proud to say I’ve never watched his show.
He reminds me of a used car salesman. If he had ANY decency, he would come out and support Sarah, instead of defending her, he smears her, and he calls himself a Conservative. What a dickhead he is
He’s at it again...right now...subbing for O’Reilly
I don’t think I want Romney either.
Ms. Carpenter from the Washington Times is mopping the floor with the democrat stooge (who seems gay, somehow).
Wow.
Even Huckabee is backing Palin now. :) Begrudgingly, but he’s standing up for her.
Carpenter is awesome.
and Thank God it was not Romney
Mike...Mike...if God had meant you ever to be president, He would not have set you down in Hope, nine years after Bill Clinton.
Huckabee just defended her to a real jerk a few minutes ago.
What did they say. I really like Amanda Carpenter, her Washington Times article about the defense fund was off but I twittered her the correct info. So wait, from smearing Palin to defending her. Boy does this guy flip flop. What did they say?
The gay Dem is probably pissed that Sarah doesn’t approve of gay marriage.
Does anyone know the source of the accusation that Palin's teleprompter didn't go out during her RNC speech. Moveon.org? DailyKos?
He wouldn't let Carpenter speak without immediatley interrupting her.
The democrat stooge (a former aide to Biden, didn’t bother to notice his name) was ranting about Palin - saying she belonged typecast in a show like Housewives of OC I think he said - and just was whining absurdly.
As you might expect, that set Carpenter off pretty good. :)
At that point even Huckabee asked him pointedly, did he not acknowledge (my words not Huck’s) that Palin was treated from day one, differently than every other national figure?
The democrat stooge humphed, and then sort of said yes he did recognize that - the accused Palin of viciously attacking Obama as some sort of rationale, or distraction.
He was utterly deranged.
Then again, what else have we come to expect?
She clearly, terrifies them.
Isn’t it illegal for a person on TV to do something like this?
He said she was the most dishonest politician since Nixon.
He was just a real vile scum (even by leftist standards).
And we want then terified.
I still won't vote for him.
Romney would have hurt the entire republican ticket much worse than McCain did.
When that idiot Dem was screaming, did his head start spinning around like Linda Blair on the Exorcist. Don’t ya love watching libs heads explode on national television. Someone get the straight jacket. They can’t come up with ANYTHING rational, so they make up BS as they go along, and Sarah WAS right. Obama is a radical hating American. She was right, some just refused to listen to her
Yeah it left me in tears and sure sent Huckabee an email about it!!
Huckabee reminds me of a goat who is chewing up his regurgitated food over and over, whenever he speaks.
left and right, left and right, he chews...
Huckabee has no chance of becoming president. Aside from other faults, he’s much too soft spoken to be a leader. Kinda like Lindsay Graham, only a slight bit more manly.
The Dem. started out with misogynous remarks.
Total cheap shots and lies.
The Democrats can’t deal with Palin on the issues.
Their guy, p0s is taking us down the Marxist road while
planning his next vacation.
Oh heck, anybody can be more “manly” than that Linsey. :-)
At least that saved us from the bigger disaster of Romney totally demoralizing the republican voters and them staying home on election day.
I’m tired of Huckabee’s fund raising phone calls. I got the second one last week. The message is ALL about him and fighting his good fight. Trouble is you never know for sure which side Huck will fall on. Do these guys ever STOP running for office? Supporting Huckabbe is the one of the two things I hold against Duncan Hunter.
Brother Huck’s Travelin’ Salvation Show
http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2008/01/brother-hucks-traveling-salvation-show.html
Cold January night.......
And the propaganda’s hanging down
And conservatives on the ground feelin’ beat.
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good liberal beat!
Sits a ragged governor Where there ain’t no truth,
And that gospel group tellin’ you and me
It’s Huck, Brother Huck,
say Brother Huck’s Travelin’ Salvation Show!
Pack up anchor babies and grab the old ladies
And ev’ryone cries ‘cause everyone knows
Brother Huck’s lies.
Halle- Hallelujah......
Starting soft and slow
Like a small town hick
And when he lets go,
Half the country’s sick!
It’s Huck, Huck Love,
say Brother Huck’s Travelin’ Salvation Show!
Take an old wrestler ,
a ‘B’ movie hustler And ev’ryone goes,
‘cause everyone knows
Brother Huck’s flam flam show.
Hallelujah!
Huckleberry STINKS! He is possibly the only person on the planet that can do more damage to AMERICA than OBOZO is perpetrating daily. Further, Hukleberry gave the Victory to OBOZO thru his depraved shenanigans with McPain to eliminate ROMNEY who would have been a good President and would have beaten OBOZO badly!
