Mike Huckabee is coming under quite a bit of fire for some remarks he made on yesterday’s “Meet the Press” about homosexuality:
MR. RUSSERT: But this is what concerns people. This, this is what you did say about homosexuality: “I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural and sinful lifestyle.” That’s millions of Americans.
GOV. HUCKABEE: Tim, understand, when a Christian speaks of sin, a Christian says all of us are sinners. I’m a sinner, everybody’s a sinner. What one’s sin is, means it’s missing the mark. It’s missing the bull’s eye, the perfect point. I miss it every day; we all do. The perfection of God is seen in a marriage in which one man, one woman live together as a couple committed to each other as life partners. Now, even married couples don’t do that perfectly, so sin is not some act of equating people with being murderers or rapists…
MR. RUSSERT: But when you say aberrant or unnatural, do you believe you’re born gay or you choose to be gay?
GOV. HUCKABEE: I don’t know whether people are born that way. People who are gay say that they’re born that way. But one thing I know, that the behavior one practices is a choice. We may have certain tendencies, but how we behave and how we carry out our behavior–but the important issue that I want to address, because I think when you bring up the faith question, Tim, I’ve been asked more about my faith than any person running for president. I’m OK with that.

...and the sun rises in the east... any more revelations?
Yes, behavior is a choice for all humans except the mentally ill.
This guy certainly makes a better minister, rather than wannabe president.
HuckaWhoo?
He must be Plan Bee. Play Ayee must not have worked.
That explains Liberals all right....
I just wish the MSM would also cover the myriad of things Governor Huckabee has wrong, rather than concentrate on the few he has that are right (as if they were wrong.) Oh... that’s right. If they go after him for some of his stands they have to admit they are wrong. That won’t happen as the Dims hold the same views.
I would love to never hear the word Huckabee again.
Homosexuality is a sin because it destroys the person who practices it. The death stats prove that.
I’m no Huckabee fan but he is right on the money here. And, he didn’t bring up the topic, Russert did.
Is being a goober choice or is it inborn?
Yep... and he responds correctly... yet he gets slammed here for it.
Well Tim, millions of people are muslim terrorists. What's your point?
Right is right and wrong is still wrong.
Evil is still evil no matter how many participants there are.
Governor, are you saying that homosexuals is mental decease? an aberration?... (paraphrasing).
Huh... GOVERNOR?.... ?????
Russert also brought up how some people don’t agree that life begins at conception. Huck schooled him that it’s a scientific fact, not open to discussion. Russert shut up on it — quick.
Something else for the fiscal conservatives here to dislike Huckabee for.
This is simple logic. Why should it be "controversial
