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:

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.”
