Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee shared a stage with the cop-killer supporter and 9/11 attack cheerleader Anthony "Van" Jones last night in Tallahassee.
Reports on the Florida State and Florida A&M universities joint-event called the State of the Student Summit, are scarce, however Huckabee shared the love with Jones afterward by approvingly re-Tweeting a message Jones sent to Huckabee:
VanJones68 Van Jones by GovMikeHuckabee

A video of a Jones-led rally held the day after the 9/11 terror attacks recently resurfaced that shows speakers and the crowd cheering the attacks, with one speaker praising the attackers as "heroes." Jones said at the rally the U.S. deserved the attacks.
A year or so later Jones produced a record album with the cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal who was convicted of the 1981 murder of Philadelphia policeman Daniel Faulkner.
Jones has since made a career for himself as a charismatic speaker marketing leftist eco-pablum under the cloak of Obama-style kumbaya "patriotism."
Huckabee looks to have fallen for the Jones' act.
VAN JONES HATES AMERICA!
Huck isn’t going to run. He likes the money he is making too much.
He was probably paid for this.
If he were running, being stupid like this makes no sense.
The Huckster has a nutty side, and he, like Bush, believes that the taxpayer treasure should be used to cure all social ills. Plus, he is a suck-up to the hard left folks like Van Jones and Moochelle. Bob
Add this to your Huckabee file!
JEEEZ,
Is Gomer trolling for moderates and independents? Or does the Pope save money on car insurance with Geico?
sflr ... must leave now.
Never have liked Huckabee and never will.
Don’t trust him. Never will.
Like someone on this thread said: He’s not called the Huckster for nothing.
Learned too much about him during the 2008 primary that turned me off to him as a presidential candidate.
Let him stay on t.v.
He now becomes an official frontrunner in the eyes of the MSM. He always struck me as personally WAAAAYYYYY too genial, even if everything else were OK, to be an effective nominee, let alone President. He’s just sealed his fate with me at least, but as I said, the MSM will rally to him , should he run, because he’s McCain redux.
Van Jones would behead him if only given an opportunity.
So long Huck.... save your money ‘cause you’re done as a potential candidate.
He as ALWAYS been like this. The problem is that his evangelical base, which included 95% of his supporters, refused to look beyond his Christianity to his political views, which are anathema to most of them. Bob
Too stupid to be President bump!
Van Jones is a communist. Huckabee is a fool.
I can see why the left wants him to be the GOP nominee so badly..he’s one of them
Huckabee’s a real doofus, but he is apparently one of the leaders in GOP popularity right now.
bttt
You make a good point. That is very true.
In another context. I recently stated that there is a difference between principle and posturing : the difference between the tea Party and the "Coffee Party."
The same holds true of political candidates, who seem to live in a different reality with different rules.
Politics allow elastic "pseudo principles."
Principles are NEVER set aside for political expediency.
Not ever, in my lifetime, will I ever vote for such a candidate. That would apply equally to Palin.
If this jerk gets the nomination, pitchforks are coming out and the GOP better run.
