Does Mike Huckabee still read Free Republic? (vanity)

May 27, 2008 | Kurt Evans

[Kurt Evans]

Early on January 22, I posted the following to Free Republic: "In my opinion someone definitely needs to get word to Governor Huckabee that his unholy alliance with Senator McCain isn’t ultimately going to work for anyone, except possibly their Democrat opponents."

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1957488/posts?page=1#25 (post #25)

On April 25, this was the featured Huckabee quote at Google News: "Sometimes I got accused of being in collusion with him during the course of the campaign — that we were somehow forming some unholy alliance."

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/politics/5731969.html (fourth paragraph)

Did Governor Huckabee get word about the "unholy alliance" or was that just a coincidence?

Going chalk that up to coincidence.

Establish a pattern of him using the phrasings of other posters on FR and you may be on to something.

[hole_n_one]

Yeah, I’m sure he hangs on your every word.

[Kurt Evans]

"Going to chalk that up to coincidence."

Shucks. :-)

[CindyDawg]

Hi Mike.

[Kurt Evans]

"Yeah, I’m sure he hangs on your every word."

If he endorses Bob Barr, we'll know. :-)

[CaspersGh0sts]

Oh, I don’t know if Huckabee needed FreeRepublic to confirm what was going on. I’m sure he heard about that from all different directions. It was blazingly evident that Huckabee had teamed up with McCainiac to dogpile on Romney. The two were so obvious about it as to be snickering at one another in the debates. Very immature stuff, but obviously the teams had been formed.

I’m sure we weren’t the only ones who noticed. You heard the exact same talk on RedState and Politico, as well.

[dayglored]

The phrase "unholy alliance" is pretty common in that context. Occam's Razor points to coincidence.

Post something more unlikely, such as "nattering nabobs of negativism", and if that subsequently shows up in a politician's speech, then you have more of a case.

Or else someone will accuse you of being William Safire. ;-)

At the age of 44, I've heard that in at least 20 movies and probably countless TV shows.

Brilliant. Right up there with "Perot '92."

[Kurt Evans]

You skeptics probably don’t believe that thread prompted Congressman Hunter’s outright endorsement of Governor Huckabee either, huh?

flat line...

"It was blazingly evident that Huckabee had teamed up with McCainiac to dogpile on Romney. The two were so obvious about it as to be snickering at one another in the debates. Very immature stuff, but obviously the teams had been formed."

By the time it was over, it looked like Romney versus everyone else. For the record, I'm unhappy with James Dobson for convincing me to keep an open mind about Romney as long as I did:

Well, he's played at the Freeper hosted inauguration balls in 2000 and 2004. After his treatment here during this last election run, you may be right that he's not lurking though.

Gomer Huckleberry needs to find a nice little church to pastor and leave politics to people who know what they're doing. Oh, and Barr ‘08 is just Obama ‘08 spelled differently.

[Kurt Evans]

"BARR ’08 -- Brilliant. Right up there with 'Perot '92.'"

I campaigned for Bush 41 in 1992 and Howard Phillips in 1996. By the way, that thing about Perot costing the Republican Party the presidency in '92 and '96? Rush Limbaugh made that up.

[stravinskyrules]

Hey Mike!

You're too slick for your own good.

Go back to Arkansas.

[jellybean]

Gov. Huckabee's Band played at both Free Republic Inauguration Balls in 2001 and 2005. He's very much aware of FR. I don't know how often he reads it though.

[Kirkwood]

Other than you, who really cares? Almost zot-worthy.

[woofie]

I told a joke on FR about Obama dodging a bullet at the NRA convention ..the next thing I knew Huckabee was using my joke ...and no I got no compensation for it

Hillary did the same with my comment about June being a rough month for RFK

[trumandogz]

Hey Mike, why does your dog look so nervous?

[trumandogz]

Once I posted a suggestion to Huckabee that he and his sons would look really great in stripes.

[Kurt Evans]

"Gomer Huckleberry needs to find a nice little church to pastor and leave politics to people who know what they're doing."

He's a brilliant tactical politician. He just needs to stop believing in "benevolent" government. He'll come around.

"Oh, and Barr ‘08 is just Obama ‘08 spelled differently."

Not really, but McCain '08 is McCain '08 spelled the same.

[Kurt Evans]

"Other than you, who really cares?"

Jesus cares. :-)

[Berlin_Freeper]

A nervous dog would be cowering with its head down and mouth closed, making as small a presence as possible.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Large people usually wear vertical stripes and avoid horizontal stripes.

[isom35]

Huck did ask me once, “Isom, what do you think of Kurt Evans?” and I said, “I wouldnt know Kurt if he fell into my soup” Huck laughed and then we both had another beer and shot another game of 8-ball.

[trumandogz]

As long as the dog does not tag along with the kids to summer camp, I think he will be okay.

Considering your erroneous posts, what you think can be safely disregarded.

“Does Mike Huckabee still read Free Republic? (vanity)”

For his own emotional health, I hope that Huckafraud doesn’t.

[Kurt Evans]

"Once I posted a suggestion to Huckabee that he and his sons would look really great in stripes."

His kids seem to have great personalities. If Sarah wanted to marry me, she probably could. (She's older now than she was in that picture.) If you're here, Huck, I'm pretty sure Governor Rounds would vouch for my character. Or not.

He found those kinds of people on FreeRepublic?

[Kurt Evans]

"He found those kinds of people on FreeRepublic?"

To be fair, that quote is from February 2001, long before Ann and Rush taught us that distorting his family name constitutes "humor"... There are still some pretty good jokes here once in a while though.

In 2008, true conservatives have a clear choice: sense of humor or self-mutilation.

GREAT idea!

Or else someone will accuse you of being William Safire. ;-)

OR, you might start getting visits from the ghost of Spiro Agnew in the wee hours...

[ketsu]

Hey Mike, why does your dog look so nervous?

I always wondered if Mssrs Huckabee were actually Slitheen

[Salamander]

Hey Mike!
Why the hang-dog look?

[M-cubed]

LMAO...No........He spends his time on DU...monitoring the good words......

[Caipirabob]

If he does, he's going to be PO'd about some of the flame wars we've had over him. I wouldn't expect him at the next "FReeper Ball"...

[nmh]

Who cares!

Glad he can’t be our next President.

Be gone, MIKE HUCKABEE!

You lying fraud.

You win the Kewpie Doll... (Safire wrote that line for Agnew back in the old days when he and Pat Buchannan were speechwriters for the White House.)

[mkjessup]

Awww, thanks, that was back in the good ol’ days when the White House wasn’t afraid to take on that “efite corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals.”

35+ years later, and those snobs are still at it.

Yep, they are.

Remember: "pusillanimous pussyfooters"?

That was always my favorite...
