(Conflict of interest vanity) Huckabee using his FNC spot to undermine 2012 rival Palin!
The usually responsible Fox News Channel | July 24, 2009

Posted on 07/24/2009 5:21:24 PM PDT by Cringing Negativism Network

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!!!

I don't know a lot about Huckaby but I don't really like what I've seen. He reminds me of one of those republicans who wants to be liked by the left. I could be wrong but that's the impression I get from him.

Dem-leaning PPP (an independent pollster who polls for actual voters, not random adults like the WaPo poll) has her overall approval/disapproval at 47/45. Obama is 48/49 according to Zogby and 49/51 according to Rasmussen.

Your point is well-taken. The media uses their skewed polls to drive a narrative because they know people just skim the headlines.

Had he dropped off the race, Romney would have won.

Had Team Romney not backstabbed Gov. Palin and her children,
Obama would not be Pres_ _ent.

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

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.

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.

The democrat on this segment was in the words of Dick Cheney "a major league ***hole". He actually said Palin was the most dishonest person since Nixon. That means I geuss he would call Clinton honest. Enough said. This guy was the biggest POS I've seen in quite some time. Wonder how many women he's slapped around in his lifetime.

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 Palin's telepromter did not go out during her RNC speech.

He said she was the most dishonest politician since Nixon.

He was just a real vile scum (even by leftist standards).
