Huckabee-Banania 2008

So, as much as I dislike Barack Obama in all his banania glory, I can’t fucking believe former fat ass and Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee.  Recently, at an NRA meeting in Louisville, this asshole responded to a loud noise by saying:

“That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He was getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him, and he dove [sic] for the floor.”

I refuse to allow him not to get nailed to the wall for this shit.  (Seriously, who wants to chip in on some ad space in Times Square?)  Joking about someone’s assassination – someone who, might I mention, despite having Hussein as a middle name and a first name that sounds like Osama and the specters of Islam, slavery, and elitism dancing around above his head was still more presidential and popular than Huckabee – is never OK.  I wish this bastard would explain how this “off-hand remark,” as he called it in his apology for it, isn’t racist and wasn’t meant to be offensive.

How great thou art, Mike Huckabee.  For a former preacher toting Christianity around like a badge, you sure know how to fight animosity and promote nonviolence.  You know, WWJD?  He’d go to a room full of gun-toters in a city that has its share of racial tensions and suggest that someone in the room is trying to shoot the nation’s first real black candidate for the presidency.

I hope that gaffes like this demonstrate to everyone voting just how unworthy the Republican Party as an organism is to face a world in which you have to deal with people who aren’t like you by doing something other than shooting them.  

Mike, it’s a shame that a former presidential candidate can say about three sentences and become the most racist and inappropriate figure for a party which has been peddling Reverend Wright clips and has dedicated the last 7 years to killing everyone who doesn’t pass the brown paper bag test in the Middle East.  Hell, you’re more efficient than even John Hagee!  Go promote your “fair tax” instead of peddling such unabashed banania.
