Huckabee: Obama marching Israelis 'to the door of the oven'

[n2doc]

Former Arkansas governor and GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee blasted President Barack Obama on Saturday over the nuclear deal reached between Iran and world powers, saying that by trusting the Iranians, the president "will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven."

In an interview with Breitbart, the 59-year-old conservative television personality called Obama's foreign policy "the most feckless in American history" and dubbed the Iran deal "the most idiotic thing." "It should be rejected by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and by the American people," he said.

Huckabee entered the race for his party's 2016 presidential nomination last May, vowing strong U.S. support for Israel and declaring "Hell will freeze over" before Iran gets a nuclear weapon.

In Saturday's interview, Huckabee urged the GOP presidential hopefuls to simplify their message to the American people, and focus on "conservatism, limited government, more local government, lower taxes, and less regulation to people who sweat through their clothes every day and have to lift heavy things to make a living.”

Evil bastard Huckster

1. When will this rotting piece of crap ever go away?

10. He won't.

My now deceased exhusband used to tell me when I was naive young woman that the clergy smith words for a job and many of them do so with keeping their "base" in the fold. Huckabee considers himself a preacher with an expanded congregation. Such people serve no useful purpose.

11. Just a pathetic waste of oxygen. No useful purpose indeed.

He is purposely offensive. The only upside to this is the racist/homophobes have their full crazy on display for all to see.

2. Doesn't the Huckster

realize that unlike last time, the Jews have nukes?

3. I so want to turn that comment back on him.

So, so tempting.

4. Going Godwin makes you look like such a fool. That's why we shouldn't tolerate it here either

Unfortunately, a Godwin OP was posted just a few days ago that survived a jury alert.

A ridiculous appropriation of the Martin Niemoller saying.

6. I am not sure what Godwin refers to, unless it is Huckabee's religious extremism. The link you

supplied is repulsive elevating "counterpunch" in the same category as Alternet. Counterpunch is a blatant anti-Jewish site with a lot of incorrect and distorted stories.

However, in both cases, I think calling them out for what they are is far better than hiding them.

7. Here is a link to Godwin's Law. Using references to Nazis/Nazisim

Invoking Hitler or Nazis or the holocaust is pretty ridiculous hyperbole most of the time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law


Godwin's law applies especially to inappropriate, inordinate, or hyperbolic comparisons of other situations (or one's opponent) with Nazis – often referred to as "playing the Hitler card". The law and its corollaries would not apply to discussions covering known mainstays of Nazi Germany such as genocide, eugenics, or racial superiority, nor, more debatably, to a discussion of other totalitarian regimes or ideologies,[citation needed] if that was the explicit topic of conversation, because a Nazi comparison in those circumstances may be appropriate, in effect committing the fallacist's fallacy, or inferring that an argument containing a fallacy must necessarily come to incorrect conclusions. Whether it applies to humorous use or references to oneself is open to interpretation, because this would not be a fallacious attack against a debate opponent.

8. Thanks Steve, I appreciate the context. Huckabee and others who play that card should be called out

for it, but I don't think hiding it helps

9. The question

Of how low the Republicans will stoop to attack President Obama over the Iran deal has been definitively answered
