News flash: Huckabee to paint bullseye target on his forehead in hopes someone will take a potshot at him, thus proving he's important too.

The only problem being, dodging bullets could be construed as dancing. What's a neocon religious nut to do?

The message here: If you're going to make home-made squirrel jerky be sure you understand the process. Tainted squirrel harbors brain leprosy, which causes you to embrace guns, religious superstition, and conservatism.

So much for Huckabum's VP offer. Jokes about assassinating your political rivals don't work, even if you're a phony Xtian pandering to the NRA. Who would Jeebuz shoot, Pastor Numbnutz?

This is not a joke, remember JFK,RFK and MLK, and with all the news out of the secert service, nose being hung in the black secert service member locker room, e-maill from the upper levels directors, we can't take this as a joke.

Bad Taste???
More likely that Mike Huckabee was speaking from his pandering ass heart.

His comment speaks volumes of what he thinks of an NRA memeber!!

JFK-MLK-Bobby Kennedy-Alan Berg:
Why must liberals die in America?

My take on his joke was that it was in no way intended as a threat but merely as a moronic macho put-down implying that Barack is a coward because he would duck if shot at. I would hope that the NRA members are not stupid enough to buy into that implication, but I suspect that they are just that stupid. If any NRA members want to correct me on this and denounce the Huckabee comment, then I will apologize.

Sounds to me like the usual Sunday morning psycho-babble Christian put-down. I used to hear crap like this all the time when my parents made me dress up and go to this little building full of pompous, self-obsessed, arrogant blowhards like Pastor Mike.

I'm not stunned by Mike's comments. We can all give thanks that his bid for the presidency failed!

Let's suppose this ugly side of his persona was circumstantially hidden from the everso gullible electorate only to find out this guy is a militant, "shoot'em all" and let "his" god sort'em out mentality...! He's definitely a racist, baptist, jerk!

Scary indeed...no?!

p.s. Responsible NRA members should have boo'd this inbred, "annointed one" from the gathering...!

It was an odd thing for Huckabee to say, especially since he was perhaps the only Republican to defend Obama during the Reverend Wright incident. My guess is that he was making a spur-of-the-moment but ill-considered attempt to get a laugh from his audience. If you've ever spoken in public, you know that these opportunities for spontaneous wit sometimes pop up. Something happens, a quip forms in your mind, and you have only a second or two to decide whether it's something you should say aloud. If it's a good quip, it can knock the socks off your audience and score huge points for you. If it's a stinker, you can blow your entire speech.

John Kennedy was a master at off-the-cuff quips. Apparently, Mike Huckabee is no John Kennedy.

I agree, Southerner, and that certainly did stink the place up.

NRA = KKK ?. That's the problem. Now we have them painted with the same brush, thanks to Mr. Huckabee. Good going. Idiot.

Huckabee' joke went over like a fart in a punch bowl and was about as necessary as Mothers Day in an orphanage !!!

With the REAL Mike Huckabee PLEASE stand UP?
