We weapon carriers won't duck to the floor. We take cover and offer return fire.
A better remark would have been it was Hillary coming in for a hot landing. |

Ok, let's start naming.
Did 'my guy' release a man who 'found Jesus' in Prison, only to rape again
No.
Did my guy proclaim he was above negative ads, but just incase, here' the ad he was too pious to air...
No.
Did my guy have ethics problems?
No.
Does my guy complain about making the mortgage, when in fact, my guy has put in his time and talents to further his family and still find time to use those talents to serve his God and his fellow man?
No.

I assume your rant was directed at me. Please don't take my distaste for Mr. Huckabee as an indictment on all souterners. I could list a whole lot of southerners than you did who have contributed greatly to this nation.
All I said was Huck would fit in well as a cast member on Hee Haw. He could play some music, yuck it up a bit and could even read his jokes off a teleprompter so he could save himself a little embarrassment of telling some really offensive jokes. Seems to me he'd be a natural.
I have listed many times specific things Huck has down which has lost my respect, so I will not be repeating them. I'm sure Synthesizer could supply those - he's kept all my posts.
I just don't care for Mr. Huckabee. That's okay, right? I certainly don't hate him, as you suggested. You don't care for my favorite, right? There's nothing wrong with that. |

I've defended him all throughout. |

|
|
|
...that last sentence in the above (or below, depending on the order one has the comments listed) comment was about Huck, and not you, MaineC. :) |
|
|
Then, I guess you weren't making fun of him. That's a relief. But still, bad joke, shouldn't have made it, apologized for it, good. |
|
Again, your posts are too tedious for me to read, but I did read the heading so I'll respond.
I don't believe I said anything about southerners being hicks. Believe me, I live in Maine and there are plenty of hicks here - in fact, I'm kind of one myself.
I've known many southerners - almost married a girl from Tennesse - lovely girl. I loved her accent.
Not sure if this answered your question, or what that question had to do with anything. |

MaineConservative, what percent of southerners are hicks?
What's your explanation for Romney coming in:
4th in SC?
3rd in Missouri?
As you know, Romney spent boatloads of money in advertising.
What's your response to this?:
[Pro on May 5, 2008 11:07 PM]"Romney came in largely third or lower in the old Confederacy. He is poison down there.
South Carolina: 4th, Tennessee: 3rd, Georgia: 3rd, Alabama: 3rd, Oklahoma: 3rd, Missouri: 3rd, Arkansas: 3rd."
Do you disagree with any of this Ruffini?:

fiscal conservatism is where the opinion leaders are, and social conservatism is where the votes are.

it seems to me that the conservative establishment's decision to go nuclear first on Huckabee (who never had a shot but speaks for voters we need in November) before McCain (who always had a shot but speaks mostly for himself) will rank as a pretty serious strategic blunder.

Okay, good. That was quick. Moving on. |
|

Good grief -what a non-story. Gov. Huckabee is a public figure with lots of cameras pointed at him, he's a human being - it was a matter of time before someone caught him being less than perfect. He apologized, get over it. |

I'm glad you showed up, OHM. You've been very nice to me in my time here at Townhall. I decided earlier that I would stay after all. Sorry I'm such a broken record always saying I'll leave and then end up staying. I'm also sorry I keep saying I'm sorry. :D
With that tease in mind, I'm looking forward to the next HamNation.
Regarding the jazz scene, there'll always be plenty of jazz information on my blog, which is linked on my alternate blog here at Townhall. Click on my name to go there.
Now, I need to go to bed. I shouldn't be up this late. |
|
MCLIJazz,
I know what Asperger Syndrome is.
You're a nice fellow---we hope you won't leave Townhall.
If you leave, whom else would we have to keep us updated on the jazz scene ?
The appeasing isolationists of the far left AND the far right may end up getting us all killed, but until then, continue to read our gal M-Kat Ham.
Besides, a little birdie tells me that she plans to show off a little bit of her "Mia Hamm" soccer skills in a forthcoming HamNation.
You won't want to miss that. |

Another one of my habits is not reading things, including e-mails, thoroughly before responding. That's what I did here. I didn't find out what MKH wrote in this very post until I got a link to another post on Huck's line-crossing joke at Johnny Dollar's Place. So, I'm sorry for not reading thoroughly before responding. Everyone's anger here is justified. Hopefully, Huck will apologize by Monday or Tuesday.
So, now, finally, good night. |
|
|
Now, I saw what he said. Yeah, he crossed the line. I can see why you're all so upset. I hope he doesn't say something that foolish again. |
|
|
"I've already *said* enough here." I left that word out. Good night. |
|
|
Like I said, we're being dragged off topic and I've already enough here. I'll just have a gentleman and gentlewoman's disagreement with everyone here. Carry on and good night. See you in MKH's next post. |
|
|
I am not a far-left poser, not a jerk Huckabee supporter, and not anything else you think I am. I'm not a partisan either. That's why I'm not fitting in here. |
|
|
Or maybe the heat has not died down. |
|
If I'm going to get reprimanded for apologizing for overreacting, then I think I actually will give up here at Townhall. I had very few people that liked me here to begin with.
My point wasn't even to make a joke. I was frustrated and giving up. Then, I calmed down and decided to stay. Now, you're attacking me, which is leading me to giving up after all. Thanks for your sympathy.
And you want me to be honest? I couldn't stand Fred Thompson when he was running for President. I was overjoyed when he finally quit because my guy at the time Giuliani (I immediately jumped to McCain when he bowed out) was getting bashed by all the Fredheads. Plus, he kept dodging "The O'Reilly Factor." Until some time in mid-January, the closest he came to appearing was when Jeri came on a night when Laura Ingraham was filling in, and calling in to "The Radio Factor" a week and a half before he finally showed up. But three months later, I'm back to liking him. In the heat of a campaign, you end up disliking opponents of your guy. When the heat dies down, I go back to liking.
But I'm driving us way off topic. I'm sorry.
P.S. I have Asperger Syndrome. Think about that before you tear into me again. |
|
|
Oh, I see, to make a joke. Or could it be an attempt to move the commentary off the topic and off your guy and onto Fred? Sorry, Fred is kinda boring. I rarely find myself motivated to respond to a Fred thread. |
|
That was an overreaction on my part. There are times I like it here and Townhall and times when I don't. I guess this is one of those times, or one of those blog posts, where I don't. I'm sorry I overreacted. It's just that the Governor and I have extreme weight loss to improve our health in common. Also, appreciation of music and humor. I disagree with him in a few spots, but I don't hold it against him.
On another topic, anyone see Fred Thompson on "Fox and Friends" this morning? It was good to see him and hear that he's joining the Townhall family. |
|
I remember when there was anti-Huckabee rhetoric plastered all over MKH's blog and nearly every commenter last August and September. Then, either it disappeared or I just didn't notice it anymore. Now, you guys are doing it again. The only thing I don't like about him is that he was hired by MSNBC this week.
But I won't stop you guys. Bring it on. Tear into him. Tear into anybody to the left of moderate right (which is to the right of center right, where I am). Go nuts. Isn't he an awful guy? What a hack. What a loser. He's a FAILure. (I don't even know what that acronym is nor do I want to know.) Etc.
Here's another failure (no acronym) of a joke: Knock knock? Who's there? Not me anymore. I'll stick with Johnny Dollar's Place, Olbermann Watch, and occasionally MargaretHoover.com. Fare thee well. |
|
This will take him off the McCain running mate list.
Frankly, I don't care for either one of them, but that was just plain stupid and democratic gaffe-like. |
|
|
I'm a little rusty but I'm sure I can dust off a few trial drafts of my acceptance speech. You can be my secretary of offense with your very own nuke button for EIGHT years. I figure that if I manage to get elected, voters will still be too shocked to vote against me in 2012. Now I have to figure out what will be the official White House ice cream. (No, not Ben & Jerry's, Vermont will be turned into a nuclear test zone...not good for ice cream). |
|
|
|
|
don't ya think Huckabee should have known better? Oh well, I doubt this gaffe will deter him from his constantly making jokes and trying to be funny. It seems to be his nature to inject humor into everything. Maybe he is better suited to late night talk show host than president. This stuff sure illustrates his inability to be presidential. |
|
If things keep going the way they are, you may get your nomination by insinuation yet...!
I'm still your Secretary of Offense, right? I believe our deal was one nuke a year for my personal use.....? |
|
|
The second amendment is so Important. The right to keep and bear is vital to our nation. Obama is on the wrong side of the issue. The man in Illinois voted against our rights at every turn. |
|
|
I mean TIME OUT!!!! Are there any properly functioning adults still involved in this election on either party? Both parties and their candidates look like the 1962 Mets. We'll put Huckabee at first base. We'll call him "Marvelous Mike" Huckabee, aka "Dr. Strange-glove". |
