First (Matzah) Blood: The Huckster ‘Apologizes’? @ ExileStreet

Eugene McCarthy slayeth the President!

So thought the media, and they felt certain he was on a yellow-brick road to the Emerald City, or the White House at least. Instead, the yellow-streak became known to be in his spine, and soon Bobby Kennedy entered the race, Clean Gene having proved LBJ was not invincible. Of course, it was all on a pretense: McCarthy had fooled New Hampshire voters in 1968, as JFK had done in 1960. He was a quick hors d’ouevre, not a main meal. The entrée was to come later, as Nixon trumped Humphrey.

Now cometh Huckabee, aka The Huckster, or Huck [as in Tom Sawyer’s chum], rising fast and giving some heartburn to public and private remonstrations. He likely will win the Iowa cauci [plural for caucus], maybe even place second in New Hampshire. Oh, what shall we do? [more]

Good read. Thanks for posting it.

what a barfomatic comparison to make between the protocols and Mormon slander. the writer apparently is using an historical (and current) reference that he doesn't fully understand.

And if the Mormons believe that JC and the Devil are related, who cares? Is that supposed to be offensive to someone or more importantly, damaging to someone? if it is not responded to (if it were true) is there some blasphemy? it is moronic to bring this up in a political campaign. and Huck is clearly out of his league. this fascination with him must end quickly. if you want to inject religion start asking about Osama's ancestry.

Finefrock accuses the czar’s police of inventing the blood libel against the Jews—it’s actually far older than that (there are versions known from the Middle Ages, and it may be a variation on allegations Roman pagans made about the early Christians).
