Huck Looks for Black Helicopters
nationalreview.com ^ | 02/02/08 | [Mark R. Levin]

This is incredible. Mike Huckabee accuses Sean Hannity, who has announced he will vote for Mitt Romney on Tuesday, of being influenced by Bain Capital, which Huckabee says owns Sean's network — Clear Channel.

First, the facts. Bain is trying to buy Clear Channel, or parts of it. Clear Channel does own many radio stations. Sean appears on many of their stations, as do many of us. But Sean's syndication partner is ABC Radio Networks, which was recently acquired by Citadel Broadcasting.

So, not only does Huckabee get his facts wrong, like most conspiracy kooks, he makes a scurrilous charge — in his usual matter-of-fact way — and then admits he really doesn't know. Here's the video.

Not enough attention is given this tendency we've seen from Huckabee. In South Carolina, where the Confederate flag issue was largely settled, he brought up during campaign stops to agitate for support. It was utterly irresponsible act. And then there was his devil-worship line about the Mormon faith, which was intended to raise questions about Romney's religion.

This is disgraceful stuff.

I just heard the clip on Rush.

I have to say that from the way Hannity’s been acting I’ve thought something similar myself.

Huckabee didn’t say a word about black helicopters.

Governor Huckabee is a disgraceful candidate. He and McCain deserve each other.

Go Mitt!

Huckabee didn’t say a word about black helicopters.

For crying out loud, it's figurative. Do you think when people say "Tin Foil Hat" they mean the conspiracy theorist is literally wearing a tin foil hat?

It's the same context as the term "Black Helicopters". He's referring to someone looking for a conspiratorial connection when none exists.

Huckabee will not win the nominee, but he is far from irrelevant. By remaining in the race he is dividing up the vote to keep McCain in the lead. Don’t know if it is intentional or not, but that is the result.

probably hoping he'll get the nod for VP = he and juli are both fighting for it, sucking up to McC

If he is not God’s choice he won’t win. If he is, there is not one thing anyone can do about it, no matter how hard they try. Can we agree on that?

Ahh, no.

God gave us Free Will.

He allows us to be jackasses, if we so choose.

He gives us the tools to choose wisely, but He does not dictate.

He does, from time to time, lend a helping hand, but that is mostly when we ask Him for it: "Ask, and ye shall receive."

“If he is not God’s choice he won’t win. If he is, there is not one thing anyone can do about it, no matter how hard they try. Can we agree on that?”

Not exactly. It sounds as though you believe that whoever the winner is must have been God’s choice. Put it on a personal level. Is everything you do what God wanted you to do? Do you ever disobey God? If you can disobey God, can’t a nation do the same thing?

If we don’t have the freedom to make moral choices, then why are we held accountable by God for the wrong choices we make?

God obviously allows us a lot of freedom - even to do wrong things, but always within His boundaries. In other words, this thing about God choosing this person or that person is a bit more complicated than simply saying that whoever wins is the one God wanted to win.

To top it off, Black Helicopters and secret urban training turned out to be true.

Oh rubbish, Cindy.

God gave us the gift of free will and discernment. I can't speak for God, but maybe we haven't learned our lesson yet.

Huckabee hides behind a faux pulpit, when in fact, he deserted his calling years ago.

Levin is out of his league on this one.
