Mike Huckabee Jokes About Letting the CIA or Military Detonate the Christmas Bomber
Good Christian Mike Huckabee had himself a nice little laugh over the idea of torturing the Christmas underwear bomber. Via News Hounds--Former Pastor Mike Huckabee Jokes About Torturing The Christmas Underwear Bomber:
In a discussion about whether or not the Christmas underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, should have been held by the military instead of a civilian prison, Mike Huckabee sounded more like Jack Bauer than a former pastor. First, Huckabee argued that the suspect should be held by the military in order to get him to “sing like a canary.” He continued, “Frankly, I’d rather the military or the CIA take him and do whatever they need to do, including fill his underpants back up with whatever explosive and put him in a field and let a U.S. Marine detonate it if they have to, get this guy to talk." Huckabee allowed as how "I'm being a little facetious about that… but my point being, we want him to talk.” Not only did neither of the two Democratic guests object, at least one of them laughed. With video.
Huckabee added, “It’s not that we don’t want to give him some (my emphasis) civil treatment, because we are a country that does that, but I do think that that’s our problem (meaning that if he’s not held by the military and, presumably, treated harshly, he won’t “sing like a canary.”
So just who would Jesus "detonate" Huck? Man of god my ass. Fox News... all pro-torture all the time with the rest of the networks running right behind them to keep up. Gotta' keep that fear ratcheted up don't you know.
as fox news is to fair and balanced.
I know that the republicans will think I AM COMPLEMENTING them believe me I am not.
republicans are not christians, they do not follow the teachings of jesus, and everyone who is not a fool knows that fox is nothing but a propaganda tool.
If a republican talls me he is a christian I will tell him he is either a liar or a fool but not a christian!
"American Christianity" is to Christianity as Fox is to "fair and balanced"
The American version of hate hidden behind religion is joke to the rest of the world.
"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow
man, and I hate people like that! " ~ Tom Lehrer (1928 - )
Like every other 13 year old boy in Arkansas in the 70's, Huckabee got a guitar for Christmas. When lack of musical talent proved not to attract many girls, Huckabee inserted himself into another public arena hoping to attract attention - Evangelism. And most likely to be taken serious enough for politics, he had to ride with the Arkansas state police.
Huckabee is not a rock star. In fact, he's as common as they come. He should not be considered an expert on anything. Just another ignorant country boy.

I think the only reason any of these republicans claim to be christian is for votes!
Really! republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness and it is killing America!
You've got that correct.
The Right wings mangled the left to pieces and they laugh about it now. Even the Dems-Obama keeping creeping further and further to the right.
the outrageous distortions that come from fox, the
teabaggers and the gop are pushing their extremists
wingnut militias to the point that we should expect
a major civil onslaught to anything and anyone that
they regard out of their circle. NO ONE and i do
mean NO ONE will ever be in their favor 100% of the
time. these militias are primed by all the hate,
racism and lies and distortions of the truth.
all minorities in this country, all immigrants
and anyone who is not
christianintheir myotic view of god/jesus will be in their
sights for removal. the
fucked upconservativecretins of the gopwill plow down anyone/thing that smacks of
any contention with their moronic views.

“Frankly, I’d rather the military or the CIA take him and do whatever they need to do,"
Because, obviously the military and the CIA are the ONLY ones who can torture?
Does Huck really think the FBI, state troopers or local police are unable to torture?
I mean - if torture is the way to go why should the military and the CIA be the only ones who can be so effective?
Heck we can all torture! WOO HOO!

Today’s military personnel deserve the best tools of the trade as they serve as fighters of terrorism, diplomats, military trainers, and humanitarians.
Maybe Huck is the keynote speaker.

this guy is a lowly soldier who couldn't even get his own pants to blow up. Does anyone believe he has any clue to what the leaders of the jihadists are planning? Our intelligence leaders know he doesn't. Torture or enhanced interogation will only get unreliable information.
"who couldn't even get his own pants to blow up"
Too true, and kinda sad.

It isn't as if Al-Queda are a bunch of incompetent bombers -- to the contrary. This "failed attempt", considering the timing and tumultuous roar of "background chatter" from the American Reichwing Taliban, before and after, could just as easily be an American intelligence community (or Blackwater/Xe?) "false flag" operation. It's been done before.
We have an "underwear bomber" without an actual bomb -- neither the "detonator" nor the "PETN explosives" were viable -- which sure doesn't sound like an Al-Queda operation to me. But the successful exploitation of this "operation" for the derived domestic political capital doesn't rely upon the success of the terrorist mission itself. Hence, the cynical but realistic assessment that this could be a "false flag" operation.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
-- John F. Kennedy
The GOP has grabbed onto this one with both hands and have no intention of letting go any time soon.
And it sure looks like enhanced interrogation techniques (torture) is back on the GWOT menu, as far as the Republican Party is concerned, against USA and international law regardless.
Hey, USAG Eric Holder, how is that investigation and prosecution of these war criminals going? Is it back on the table yet?
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
-- John F. Kennedy
... of simply declaring that the Obama Administration will not use such techniques, nor will it prosecute those who did under orders of their legitimate superiors.
It continues the 'moral clarity' line, that this IS acceptable practice, and it's only these sissy-pants weak-on-terrorism libruls who won't man up and do the dirty work necessary to Keep America Safe.
... had someone like Abdulmutallab, effectively incompetent yet a true believer, there's absolutely no risk in giving him the materials and sending him on his way.
- He likely lacks substantive intelligence on personnel, locations, etc. (He would never be operating out of safe house, and meetings in person would be rare.)
- If he succeeds, the political goal has been achieved.
- If he fails, since the Americans have shown they will wet their pants at the slightest hint of our presence, the political goal has been achieved.
- If he is tortured, his suffering becomes another rallying cry for the faithful.
... understand this.

Huckabee is looking for funding for a new play..."Yuseff & The Amazing Technicolor Exploding Dreamcoat".
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
...that is that Huckabee -- like so many other evangelicals who insist that the Bible is the literal Word Of God and therefore not subject in any way to interpretation -- clearly sees himself (if his usual rhetoric is any indication) as a morally superior human being.
Uh, huh...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
If I have one issue with the religious types it is that they always think of themselves as. . .
"morally superior human being"
Wasn't being prideful an issue Cheesus spoke about?

is a false cosmetic to conceal guilt, insecurity, and inadequacy.
I think the conventional notion that all Christians view jesus as a man of peace, who founded a religion for the poor that stresses good works has been dashed. the far right could answer with a straight face just who jesus would bomb, torture, rape, starve, strangle, electrocute, genital-mash, dog-sic, etc.
Huckabee is just another American Taliban
Jesus died for our sins, so have at it. All will be forgiven in the Kingdom of Heaven. Sort of a get out of hell free card. Just beg forgiveness after you mutilate your enemies. It's all good.

..don't you think the FBI and CIA have already spoken to him? What do you think they might get from him? Where obl is? Doubt it. In fact, I would doubt that if torture were legal (by some, I don't know, quirk in some right-wing time continuum where torture is okay) and it were used, just what do you think we would find out? Maybe that we already know more than the guy who was packing explosives in his underwear. After all, do you really think that al-qaeda or others would give or allow someone like this guy to have actionable intel that he could reveal if captured? What are you, stupid? Let's see:
al qaeda #1: we got this guy for suicide bomber. He hates the USA so much he'll put explosives in his underwear.
al qaeda #2:Good, let's tell him everything. Make sure he sees the secret map of where all of our operatives are.
Its no wonder you didn't get too far with that Presidential campaign thing. You know, maybe if w acted like a real WAR-TIME President and really had gone to war for the reasons he stated standing on the graves of the dead at the World Trade Center when we first went into Afghanistan, we wouldn't be in this mess now.

Maybe Huck is more of an Old Testament type of guy?

The answer to this question belies the pious claims of Christianity from Huckabee, the C-Streeters, and the Republican Party as a whole. Wholesale adoption of the primacy of the Old Testament over that of the New Testament offers adequate proof that these are Xtians, not Christians.

I thought Murdock was working on making Fox a "premium" brand for cable TV, giving almost all liberal progressives the opportunity to unsubscribe. Hope springs eternal, huh?

The US Military does not torture any longer...
Having him go back to the military is meaningless ignorant gibberish made by a pathetic dip-shit on national TV.

Mike Huckabee = Torture apologist = Christian
Remember the property of transitivity from math? The first equivalency is correct (Huck = torture apologist), but the second is clearly not correct (torture apologist = Christian). Therefore (Huck = Christian) cannot be true.
Ever notice how irons have a setting for permanent press? I don't get it.

... wherein there is an intersection between the sets 'Former Arkansas Governors,' 'Christians,' and 'Torture Apologists.'
So that there are some former Arkansas governors who are Christians, but may not be torture apologists. And there may be torture apologists who are Christians, but not former Arkansas governors.
And then there's that spot in the middle, where one can be all three.
Huckabee: "We have to get everything out of this guy before he gets a lawyer."
And this jerkoff, Xtian excuse for an American citizen and constitutionally-challenged buffoon actually considers himself fit for the Oval office??

I'm convinced this capricious little man is a pervert of some kind..so many of the things he says have some perverted, twisted little double meaning - I think he is subtley expressing his inner
pervisities. Wouldm't surprise me if the truth be known Huckabee is a dirty old man, thinking all kinds of kinky perverse things while he talks to people. Personally he gives me the creeps, but I think he fits snugly into the present day Republican stereotype of an intolerant, hateful bigot, trying to impose his religious beliefs on all others and getting at angry at those who don't conform to what "he and God" wants them to be. He's a dangerous little man, but at least he's appropriately placed on the Fox Propaganda Channel.
