LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Republican Mike Huckabee responded to an offstage noise during his speech to the National Rifle Association by suggesting it was Barack Obama diving to the floor because someone had aimed a gun at him. Hearing a loud noise and interrupting his speech, Huckabee said: "That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he — he dove for the floor."
There were only a few murmurs in the crowd after the remark.
The Obama campaign had no comment. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080516/ap_on_el_pr/huckabee_obama;_ylt=Ao75nfyHSVtcg.p19jmWk7Gs0NUE
Poor Mike Huckabee. You know, Mike is a very funny guy and an inspirational speaker. It is my opinion that he could even have been seen as the Barack Obama of the Republican Party if he'd won the GOP nomination. Even though he's a Republican and I'm a Democrat I'd have preferred him over Hillary Clinton if she and he had both won the nomination... I just really like Mike Huckabee, and Chuck Norris had nothing to do with it!
Now... he got flack for the window-frame in his campeign add about Christmas, because the window frame gave the appearance of a Cross. Woopdydoo, it was Christmas time and he is a Christian. Me being Pagan - I didn't give a shit; because other faiths don't offend me. Mike Huckabee has provided many people with laughs and reassurances of faith... so I'm really sad to see that he made a joke on the fly to the NRA that misfired. In truth, it was made in bad taste... but you can tell it was a jest; and I feel that he should be forgiven and it shouldn't go anywhere.
I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts and opinions on this though: Do you think it will be a big deal??? Do you hope it won't become a big deal??? --Brandon | |

He makes it obvious that he shouldn't be leading this country if he's having thoughts of assassination. | |

I've heard him make many funny jokes, and he's smart too. He just had a little lapse in judgement there. | |

Open mouth, insert foot! It seems to be a human thing! I'm thinking that they should all just invest in duct tape and then they wouldn't get in trouble! | |

If they are trying to take him out then I know he must actually stand for something decent. They want to continue to ruin America like Bush did so they need to attack any source that might actually fix the country. I won't move back until they fix it. | |

If I was sentenced to jail for every bad joke, I'd be serving concurrent life sentences. I think many of you would agree.
don't count on me being in the next cell you guys. I got a good feeling that if I go down, it's not going to be for bad jokes! | |

This is the same guy that let a serial rapist out that then went on to rape and murder a woman a few weeks later and then went on and tried to make some pathetic excuse on why he let him out, when he should have been locked up for life.
Not to mention he is a bible thumpiung hypocritic, that doesn't pratice what he preaches and his latest comments on Obama is a prime example of that. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 11:56:12 PM | He wouldn't be the first person to pardon someone who deserved to be in prison... and he won't be the last; doesn't make him a moron. Also, I disagree about the bible-thumping part, but you are welcome to your own opinion. --Brandon | |

But to me what he said was moronic. Common sense goes a long way and he surely didn't have any when he made that statement, and this is was come from a former pastor. That was one of those WTF were you thinking moments.
I think he is. As former pastor he has a tendency to impose a lot of his religious beliefs into his gov policies. | |

But to me what he said was moronic.
Times ten considering who he was talking to. Think NRA. Guns. Shoot. Obama. Moronic doesn't begin to describe that one. A "mistake"?? No. mistake is when you put on a black sock and dark brown one in the dark. That's a mistake. If what Huck said wasn't a hostile Freudian slip, I'll eat my psyche 101 books. Humor has been historically used to mask the truth. What on earth was that man thinking? This is the guy who wants more god in government? Spare me. Please. Spare me. | |

I always say my mouth is a size 11.
this is wrong on so many levels. so many jokes are filling my brain right now, but I like you too much to say them. | |

the only reason I can think of is a white racists blowhard telling a "scaird nigra" joke.
I never found anything likeable about the guy, myself. | |
