Ping.
Thats gonna hurt.
I’m not a Huckabee supporter by a long shot, but I just heard him on Laura Ingraham’s radio show, and, to be fair, he didn’t pardon the guy. He was paroled by the parole board, and there is a difference in a parole and a pardon. I think we should use the correct verbage.
They are politicizing this poor girls death just like Cindy Shehan and the Jersey woman. What are wrong with mothers now a days. I guess they are all becoming democrats.
It is a horrific sign of our times that not one candidate at the Repub debate the other night called Huckabee out on his bleeding heart liberalism for convicted felons. And they should have done it with the not-too-subtle suggestion that Mr. Huckabee not resort to his Gomer-like penchant for laugh-track one-liners.
If none of the GOP candidates are appalled by Huckabee’s penchant for releasing monsters back into society, than I’d say we have a pretty sorry bunch vying for the top of our ticket.
You are correct and I apologize for the typo. How do I ask the moderator to fix the title?
I intended for the title to say the man who Huckabee had paroled. That’s what I get for trying to multi-task at work :)
Huckabee directly influenced the parole board in a face-to-face from which there were conveniently no minutes recorded, and then he wrote the killer a letter approving of the parole.
Please - the man has blood on his hands. He released a killer back into society. He also released 10 other murderers.
Huckabee is a bleeding heart liberal soft on crime.

Yes, and she wasn't home the last six or seven Christmas' either, but no one said anything until now. Why is that?
More likely than not, very few would have listened to her before now.
Hm. Maybe because Huckabee wasn’t running for POTUS until now, a job that carries far more devastating consequences of poor judgment?
He urged the parole board to pardon him, though. The parole board members say they were pressured.
The really sick and twisted part of this is that they KNEW he was going to commit another crime, as evidenced by the fact that they required him to leave the state.
I don't know if it is on her part but expect the RATs do the very same thing or worst with the MSMs help. That's politics of the time.
He was only pardon after the huckster made an off the record behind locked doors appeal.
He lost me at immigration. He’s also for big gov’t. How he’s rising in the polls is a mystery.
Huckleberry is a toral Looser!!! Paroled 12 Murderers. He may be a good Preacher but his judgement is Horrible!
Talk about false and misleading headlines. Someone has a future at CBS with that kind of creative writing.
(Of course, as we all know, Huck didn't pardon Dumond. Dumond was paroled.)
Tne Drive By Media is pushing him along with the DNC. They see him as easy road kill in the general Election and that he has a “Glass Jaw”!
sw
Pardoned/Paroled: Either way she is still dead.
"Stupid Question of the Day" award winner!
Consider the following scenario:
A presidential candidate wishes to restore the financial rights of terrorist supporting organizations. He says we should all let the the past be the past and try to get along. Some of the widows from 911 step forward to remind the country of what happened to their loved ones. Is this politicizing the deaths?
He wrote a letter of support for that murdering scum, he may as well have pardoned him the parole board certainly took his letter into account.
No, but he did run for re-election AFTER her daughter was murdered and after this thug was paroled. So why didn't the mom raise a stink during his re-election effort as Governor? Hmmm...
Legally, there is a big difference between pardon and parole, and conservatives should be above the democrat tricks of mis-stating the facts to make a point.
Like I said, I’m not a Huckleberry supporter. My guy is Fred. My hope is that Huckabee’s support is a media creation. I don’t see a huge amount of support for him on the Freerepublic. I would think that the FR would be pretty representative of the conservative vote, wouldn’t it? If that’s the case, then Fred should be winning hands-down. I’m suspicious. As far as the pardon vs. the parole situation, I’m not defending Huckster at all. I wish he had never gotten in the race.
You have just been bamboozled by Slick Mikey.
Huck PLANNED to give this creep clemency. When he made that known, there was a public outcry. So to accomplish his ends while remaining politically viable, he engaged in what you might call strategic buck-passing. He decided to arrange for someone else to sign the papers.
He reneged on the clemency and moved instead to get him paroled. That way it wouldn't be done under his signature. Very clever. But the fact remains that had it not been for Huck's pressure on the parole board, DuMond would have stayed in prison and two people would not have been brutally murdered.
Huck was suckered by this guy because he claimed to have found Jesus.
The Huckster probably lied on Laura Ingram and she didn’t do her homework. Scroll down to page 3 of 12. Read the paragraph that starts with In accordance.... It is the next to last paragraph on page 3. The Huckster can lie all he wants but he definitely had something to do with the parole. He could have even denied parole. He denial is stated in Arkansas law if he wants to. It was simple.

Do you have a link to the actual letter?
Because the evangelical wing of the Republican Party stops reading after that part that says "Huckabee is an ordained Southern Baptist minister."
See Tagline.
No, this is the best I can do:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/05/huckabee.dumond/
Note the paragraph:
“I’ve never made a decision about the DuMond case other than the decision to write the letter” to DuMond, Huckabee said. “That was my decision, but I didn’t parole him, because governors don’t parole people in Arkansas.”
Or this:

Although Huckabee disclaims responsibility for the decision that granted Dumond parole, there’s no dispute that this is a result he favored. In fact, Huckabee wrote a “Dear Wayne” letter to Dumond in which he stated, “My desire is that you be released from prison. I feel that parole is the best way for your reintroduction to society to take place.” And Huckabee admitted to Byron York that “I thought he would, you know, be clean. . .he had a job, he had sponsors lined up, so at the time, I did not have this apprehension that something horrible like that would happen.”
“...by the time this election is over, Willie Horton will be a household name...”

And should anyone interested in learning more about the Huckster's influence into letting this murderer-rapist go free, please read:
Dumond case revisited - A reminder of Huckabee's role in his freedom
remember these are DBM Polls, like those showing everybody is against Bush because they make sure the respondents are 95% left Wing Loons. Sure, the rats love Huckleberry because they will make mince meat of him in the general. Go FRED, GO!!
“Yes, and she wasn’t home the last six or seven Christmas’ either, but no one said anything until now. Why is that?”
The Swiftboat Veterans for Truth didn’t make a big stink until Kerry ran for President, and I don’t recall anyone on this forum finding that suspicious. Just as few cared about the Swiftboat Veterans’ story until then, I’m sure no one really cared about this woman’s story until now.
Now she has a chance to speak out, tell her story and express her grief and anger, and voters are free to count or discount her as they choose.
Please change the title to reflect that Huckabee had him PAROLED. It was a typo, as I stated almost immediately after I posted this thread. Thanks.
Please see posts 8 and 44. It was a mistake that I pointed out almost immediately after posting this thread. Although I want the title to be accurate, Huckabee’s involvement in this man being released from prison remains the same.
actually HUnter and Tancredo should be the hands down winner here. Fred is alright, I still dont trust lawyers.
[Huckleberry is a toral Looser!!!]
Not only that but he’s a total loser too.
Thanks, better start wearing my glasses. You are right and I would go one more step and note He is a TOTAL Moron!
Clinton pardoned in return for cash and political favors; Huckabee granted clemency for reasons other than that.
