Beck Dissects Huckabee’s Curious, Mysterious ‘Booger Bears’

On radio today, Glenn Beck responded to Mike Huckabee’s scathing blog post in which he blasted Beck for calling him a “progressive” Republican. (We covered that part here, noting that it was originally a controversy drummed up by Media Matters.) And during the nearly 45-minute response, he reserved his most passionate words for Hucakbee’s charge that Beck is looking for “booger bears.”

In the beginning, Beck responded in part by saying he was set to invite Huckabee on to his radio show to respond to Beck’s charges, but Huckabee took to his website before that could happen. Beck also defended his remarks by saying he didn’t attack Huckabee personally, but rather went after his policies.

“First of all, I said that I don’t have a problem with Mike Huckabee as a person,” Beck explained. “I don’t know him all that well personally.  I have met him once or twice. We’ve had a couple of conversations, maybe one long conversation, and that one was on air. You witnessed it. I spent an hour with him. He seems like a decent guy, a sincere guy. I have many friends who have friends of his. He is a spiritual guy.”

Like Huckabee, Beck didn’t take too kindly to being accused of equating Huckabee to “cancer” or “Nazis,” and said he’s heard such twisting before:

“The only place that I’ve ever heard that kind of a smear is on George Soros’ website, Media Matters. Interesting how you would go to Media Matters’ talking points when you feel like it would benefit you, Mr. Huckabee. I’ve never said progressive is the same as Nazi. So, let’s not try to twist this into me accusing you of killing millions of Jews.”

Below are parts of Beck’s reaction to the whole thing. The first clip is Beck‘s expanded explanation of Huckabee’s “progressive” positions, while the second clip includes Beck dissecting Huckabee’s curious “booger bear” charge:

Glennbeck.com has a more thorough rundown of Beck’s response:

Earlier this week, Glenn said that he was not excited about the possibility of a Mike Huckabee presidency and said that he felt that politically, Huckabee was a progressive. Mike Huckabee did not take kindly to the comments, and responded to Glenn on Huckabee’s website. Glenn addressed those comments on radio this morning, and explained why he said what he said.

Glenn explained that during a discussion of Trump and possible GOP candidates, “I brought up Mike Huckabee, a guy I believe is probably going to be the early favorite for the Republican nominee.”

“I shared this because that’s what I do.  I share my thoughts on politics.  That’s kind of in my job description.”

“First of all, I said that I don’t have a problem with Mike Huckabee as a person.  I don’t know him all that well personally.  I have met him once or twice.  We’ve had a couple of conversations, maybe one long conversation, and that one was on air.  You witnessed it.  I spent an hour with him.  He seems like a decent guy, a sincere guy. I have many friends who have friends of his. He is a spiritual guy.”

“I also happen to think that he is a big government guy.  He’s a progressive.  And I’ve been telling you for how long now, three years, there are progressives in both parties.”

“Well, Mike Huckabee obviously didn’t take kindly to that critique, to say the least.  He sent me late one night, I think it was maybe Tuesday night, a nasty e-mail saying in part that I should have come to him and not talked about these things publicly.  The problem is I have a publicly broadcast national radio show and I don’t really do a show for a private audience of one on a telephone.”

“But as I said, I don’t have anything against Mike Huckabee. I just don’t want him to be our next President, although I did point out on Tuesday, he is absolutely, positively no Barack Obama. Very few are.”

      Huckabee wins for nailing Beck’s ridiculousness in his statement by saying, “What did I do that apparently caused him to link me to a fatal disease and a form of government that murdered millions of innocent Jews?
      I had the audacity—not of hope—but the audacity to give respect to the efforts of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign to address childhood obesity.”

      A Twitter search of the spat shows several signs of support for Huck, alongside numerous acknowledgments that this is just Beck being Beck.

    Perhaps Huckabee sees the way to get elected is to move away from conservative core beliefs, and get in power by any expedient means, then you can govern as you believe – AFTER election. He has been witness to how LBJ, Jimmy “the weak” Carter, Slick Willy and Billary Clinton, and the Obummer have all succeeded in this way to deceive the Independent swing voters, and get the reins in your hands, then whip the horses so they go where you want. You don’t need to worry about your devoted idealogues who will always vote for you – - – - it is those who are swaying in the breeze that you need to go your way.

      40 Ford Ragtop “Perhaps Huckabee sees the way to get elected is to move away from conservative core beliefs, and get in power by any expedient means, then you can govern as you believe”.

      This assumes he had conservative core beliefs to begin with. He does socially. Fiscally you can’t prove it by me. Nice guy, big government guy, and little to no better (or little to no worse) than John McCain, Mitt Romney, Carl Rove, Newt Gingrich, or a host of other Republican Playas.

      Reagan got elected without hiding who he was. He had to compromise with a mostly hostile congress, but he convinced the people he was right. The people pressured the Congress (largely through polls) or Reagan wouldn’t have gotten anything done.

      Yup! That was kinda my point. He has no Conservative record so he resorted to setting up a Strawman argument. Huck says since Nazis and Stalinists are the ultimate end product of Progressivism, and Beck said Huck is too Progressive for real Conservatives, that Beck was calling him a Nazi and a Cancer. Beck basically said, hey everyone Huck is much more progressive than anyone Conservatives should want to run, but he’s a helluva lot better than Obama. That’s not even close to calling him a Nazi.

    The only reason Mike Huckabee has support is because he’s a middle of the roader, like Bush. What our country needs is the opposite of Obama, an anti Obama who will passionately go after the enemies of this country. We need an ultra conservative like Allen West, but Allen West may not be electable because to few people understand as he does the seriousness of the battle we are in.

If people are too stupid to figure-it-out, to avail themselves of truth, facts and objective thought then why would they learn it from the government anymore so than from anyone else?
    Why does the government attack smoking, yet doesn’t see a health problem with smoking Weed?

      We united behind a Rino last election and look what that got us. The further we move to the left, the further they move to the left. The last Republican candidate I got excited about was Reagan. He wasn’t afraid to say what he thought. And he didn’t apologize to anyone for saying it. The only way we are getting a conservative candidate is by demanding one. The Rockefeller Repubs aren’t going to give up their control without a fight. Thats why the denigrate the Tea Party and other conservatives so frequently. At best, they give the Conservatives a pat on the head and tell them to go to their corner and color. They‘ll be told how to vote when it’s time.

    The GOP has always tended toward a cannibalistic nature. I like Beck, but he also trashed Debra Medina, when she was (and still is) the superior choice to RINO Rick Perry. Medina is a true conservative, and she deserved better. She is not a “truther,” and anyone that thinks she is does not know her; I know her. Now we’re stuck with Perry, again. Talk about a progressive… Perry makes Huck look like a fascist.

      I became a fan of Glenn after years of being duped by the liberals. It took most of 30 years to put together a lot of the things I have studied and read over the decades. I once felt that we , as a just society, had an obligation to do all those ‘social’ things. Eventually I realized that the only people that truly want to make the world better, do it in their daily lives and not rely on the gvt to do it for them.

      Huck supports a nanny state. He supports the idea that the gvt is responsible for people’s quality of life. (I direct you to his support for the Gvt determining your child’s diet. His support that You, the People, subsidize the College tuition of an illegal alien child.) To quote Open Left, on Huckabee. “I would pick the one who raised taxes to pay for social services and doesn’t want to deport all immigrants. ”
      I direct your attention to US History, Congressional history in particular. It’s all about precedence. Less than two hours ago I told my dad the following. ‘Progressivism sets the groundwork for an autocracy. ” Let me explain.

      It sets the stage for the government to institute controls upon your life as it sees fit. (Again, check Congressional History.) Mission Creep, to borrow a military phrase, follows a similar pattern to Legislative Creep.
      Legislative Creep leads to Big Government. In turn this, invariably, leads to dictatorships and a favored class. See: Rome. 13th century England. 16 century France. early-19 Century Russia. 1930′s Germany. Modern China.
      Until someone as pure good as Jesus Christ comes along, no man can be trusted with such power. Humans are corruptable, especially when it comes to power and the fear of losing it. (What about Washington?) My point is we do not know how a man will react until the moment of truth arrives. We got lucky that President Washington was such a man.
      Anyone that doesn’t understand this simple fact of human development is ignorant of human history. I suppose it is possible that they are being willfully, negligently, blind to the truth for the sake of their own pride and self-righteousness.
      Check the vaunted educations of your favorite Pol and ask yourself. Which is he/she? Either said person is incompetent to be a legislator or that person has no business in leading a Republic. (unless they want to change said Republic into something else………..”

How about how he wins every argument against liberal guests before they know what hits them? You must have missed that. He is the most serious conservative candidate, and best orator since Ronald Reagan. Why are conservatives brainwashed into thinking someone like freakin’ Romney, Pawlenty, or Palin is more conservative than Huckabee? Palin elected a Planned Parenthood judge to the Alaska Supreme Court, and Romney instituted national health care, gay unions, flipped on abortion depending which audience he was talking to, and on and on. Huckabee IS a true conservative. Many of you people just are too lazy to do any research and find out for yourselves. Or, maybe your definition of “conservative” had changed with the pot-smokin’-hippie times! Mine hasn’t. Unless you think Duncan Hunter or Alan Keyes have a chance, Huck is the most conservative choice. Libertarians are what I like to call the “immoral conservatives”.

      As for Becks response to Huckabore its what many of us like to refer to as being taken to the woodshed! Or the deplorable overuse of a misspelling popularized by youth “PWNED”.

      Huckabore needs to shut his mouth and do his research before attacking someone. I loved every minute of Beck’s systematic dismantling of Huckabore. His biggest mistake with Beck as most make is not thinking, jumping the gun and attacking Beck. Huckabore you need to STFU and go back to playing that hideous bass in your basement. Oh BTW YOU ARE NOT THE ONE this country is looking for to lead us, so spare us the pain and dont even think of running in ‘12 it will be nothing but a waste of money!

If we make it our mission to get the TRUTH out there, the traditional media will not be able to silence us. I believe I may have a very important “piece of the puzzle” I have written “ An Open Letter” to the president that basically outlines some of the fundamental beliefs of the Tea Party. This letter was written in such a fashion that it is virually IMPOSSIBLE to denounce. If circulated properly it will pose a dilemma for those in power. They will be forced to either acknowledge these truths or try to denounce them. Either way it is a win / win situation. Please email me at rockymtnpatriot@yahoo.com and I will send you a copy

      Most true conservatives can smell a progressive a mile away. I didn’t need Beck to tell me Huckabee was a liberal, progressive leaning, Republican even during the last primaries. The problem was, there wasn’t a true conservative in the group. Which is what all true conservatives are trying to avoid this time. But being just a little less progressive than the Dems doesn’t work too well after a Republican Nominee is chosen. The libs already have a progressive candidate and while they might praise a John McCain (for one) in an attempt to weed out conservative cadidates, they certainly won’t be voting for him. And as soon as the election is down to Repub vrs Dem, the MSM gloves come off and they beat on the Rino just as hard as any other Republican. So I can understand if EXDEM thinks all Repubs look alike. But EXDEM, walk a little further towards the light and you’ll be able to appreciate the differences between your old enemies.

      Yeh, it would be interesting at any other time because there are some small differences but all guns need to be leveled on Obama and the Left right now.

      Huck is no progressive. I believe now that he’s probably more of a moderate than conservative. I initially thought that he was far right but he makes way too many exceptions for gov‘t for me and I’m not talking about only the obesity program.

      Although GB will weave a web on occasion, much of what he states is fact so to single handly and maliciously attempt to discredit him is certainly out of bounds imo.

      I believe the real root problem is that Beck‘s a Mormon and Huck’s a Baptist. They are simply very skeptical of each other.. At any other time I’d probably try to take Beck apart on religious grounds but my goodness we are in a time in America that if you have any faith in Christ we better stand together because I assure you that those on the Left not only have no faith they will eliminate it all together if afforded the opportunity.

Glenn also needs to choose his words carefully as his opinions have become very powerful in the last two years.

Do your research then post. Is your rep a proggie? Your senator? Tell us, that do not live in your state, the truth about your candidate.”
      Of course the Mods will be required to clear out the troll comments, perhaps moving them to a second article, titled: “Questionable Comments, read @ own risk”. This will provide ‘cover’ against the inevitable Sorosian attacks that you are censoring comments to reflect your own agenda.

      I am liking Cain and West, they both want the Fair Tax, they are strong, well spoken, have good comebacks to stupid questions, and no one can play the race card on them.
      They would also split the Black vote, which would kill the Dem black base.

      Because “conservative” and “liberal” are labels for the same thing in most cases. Nancy Pelosi’s statement that “elections shouldn’t matter” finds its roots here; the case has been made (and Glenn only skims the surface of it) that politics in America has been hijacked so that it doesn’t matter what happens in the elections. The only people who can run all have the same agenda in mind – bottom line, that agenda involves the cessation of the Republic and individual nation-states in favor of a single world government.

      It gets philosophical quite quickly, but how can you argue with this: if there are no nation-states and the entire world is under one government, won’t that end all wars?

If it is not you who will be brave, intelligent, and prepared enough to understand what it will take to rebuild this nation under God with liberty and justice for all, then it is no one. I read your posts and I am losing hope. Lead or follow with the courage and the faith in you have in your Creator. Follow your heart and desire for liberty, and ignore the temptations to place passion in a POLITICAL SHOW.

      STOP COW TAILING TO THOSE WHO WILL BE FOR STRONGER FEDERAL OVERSIGHTS.

      When will we realize that the policies of the Neo-Cons AND Neo-Progs have gotten us to where we are. When will we realize that BOTH parties FIGHT for BIGGER government. When will we realize government grew SUBSTANTIALLY under the Neo-Cons. Both of our current parties got us here. Both parties are in cahoots. They are in bed fondling each other with private whispers and undisclosed love, but in public state they fight for one side or the other. One pretends they are for small government. The other pretends they care about the poor and minority. They argue in public to make us passionate for one side or the other. NEITHER OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY SINCERE IN THEIR PUBLIC ARGUMENTS.

      This IS what is at the HEART of the Tea Party Movement. Support those candidates that recognize and expose this. When the hammer falls, and it’s coming, do not run to the first republican that blames the progressives. Instead, follow the person that says:

      THE SYSTEM BROKE BEYOND REPAIR. WE NEED NOT FOCUS ON WHO DID THIS. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON WHERE WE GO FROM HERE. WE NEED TO RESTORE STATE’S RIGHTS. WE NEED TO REMOVE THE FEDERAL TAX SYSTEM AND LEAVE TAXING POWER TO THE STATES. IF A STATE WANTS A SEPARATE CURRENCY, LET THEM HAVE IT. IF A STATE IS BROKE AND IMPOVERISHED, LET THEM BE. WE CAN ONLY WORK OUR WAY OUT OF THIS BY LETTING THE STATES, THOSE STATES UNITED UNDER ONE CONSTITUTION AND ONLY BY THAT CONSTITUTION, COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER. WE MUST LET THOSE STATES COMPETE WITHOUT THE INTERFERENCE OF A TOP END FEDERAL POWER STRUCTURE.

      This is the key. This is the answer that is in your hearts but you have not been able to locate. Sorry for yelling (caps). But some this is a point we cannot miss. And we call them useful idiots. Please look at yourselves. Look at ourselves, realize what is wrong in us. We, me and you, every American reading this, are BROKEN. We must return to knowing and tasting what liberty actually means. The responsibility and perils that it brings. The hardship and pains. The work and strife. The sorrows and depressions. To live in freedom means we can experience these things in all their passions. We should not ask someone to protect us from this. These struggles come with a free life ultimately remembered with all the joy, love, satisfaction, accomplishment, happiness, fulfillment, and pride. You need no protection. You need no welfare. You need no healthcare. You need no free wifi. You need no free cell phone. You need no regulation. You need no one to investigate a company before you invest…investigate them yourself. We have become too dependent. Please recognize now what our Declaration of Independence, really meant. NO INDIVIDUAL IS INCAPABLE OF INDEPENDENCE.

      ExDem and Enicom….

      Try to understand this, the GOP is the party of ideas. Our debates are not centered around the person with the most star power or political weight. Our primaries and our debates are centered around ideas and personal conviction. As was demonstrated in the 2008 election, we don’t vote for someone just because they carry the elephant. This election will be about Americanism (Free Trade, Limited Government, Personal Responsibility) vs. Marxism (Large Government, Over Regulated Trade, Equal Outcomes).

      So, yes people will take sides, and we will call out those hiding behind the conservative label. We want freedom and liberty for all, this includes a fair/flat tax system, limited business and financial regulation, less welfare, energy independence, and less government dependence. Beck does us all a service by pointing out the soothsayers who want to brag about their non-existent conservative credentials. Beck helps us see them in the light, for who they really are.

      No, we will not find someone who we 100% agree with, but we should understand them and keep an eye on them while they hold such power. I can tell you that I personally will not vote for anyone who favors any type of tax increase unless they scrap current tax code and implement a free/fair tax system. Every person in the country has benefited from this country, we should all pay our fair share.

      Also, mudslinging is when a persons character in degraded, or when a personal attack is launched. Talking about policies and pointing out differences should be normal in this process, but Libs won’t get it. Remember they have no argument, lemmings lead to the slaughter.

      Love to see these Replican Conservatives duke it out.

      The Party is full of ego maniacs that will destroy one another and the Party before this is over. All reason has left the Republican Party.
      Imagine running on a platform that supports the rich and powerful and penalizes the poor, aged and sick. Take away Medicare, cut taxes on the richest among us and tell the nation that we have to do this to lower the debt.

      Who buys that? Who is going to elect these people?
      Republican Governors are already raising the hackles of everyone in their states for killing unions, lowering teacher pay and taking over local governments. This isn’t democracy…..and the voters that put these people in power are going to correct their mistake in the next election.

      To all….

      I know this is a little off topic, but I am hoping I am not the only person to notice this. The republican party stole the GOP primary in 2008 from the voters. Remember in the beginning Giuliani was in the lead, later he dropped out and gave the votes he had won to McCain. This was when McCain was in 5th place in most polls.

      Then Fred Thompson, before he even announced that he was running, he was in the top 3 in all the GOP polls. He had tremendous momentum and was doing really well, then he dropped out and gave his votes to McCain, even though McCain was not a top contender. Thompson was branded as conservative, and had enough clout to pull off the election.

      Then it came down to Romney vs. McCain with Huckabee running behind. Both of them jumped on the “Mormons are Evil” bandwagon in order to take down Romney.

      It might be me, but I believe that we conservative were given the snub by elitist GOP top dogs. Hell I even believe that Fred Thompson ran just to steal votes for McCain. Just wondering if i am the only one.

      Glenn is not a conservative. He has said many times “If it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg…” What an ignorant, tired old cliche Jefferson came up with. I get my philosophies from the Word of God, not some president who thought there was a need to make a new Bible to get rid of all the “unnecessary” stuff. Glenn needs to get his ideas from the source instead of letting himself be manipulated by faulty reasoning. The Jeffersonian reasoning gives Glenn the idea that homosexuals do not harm or rob him, so no matter. Wrong Glenn! God has a different view of this issue, even in the New Testament. Back to Huckabee, he has a much more conservative, Biblical view on this issue than Glenn does. And, if our morals aren’t right, then what direction is our country headed? Does money even matter? Who’s really the progressive Glenn? I say you are in more than a few ways.

      Huckabee is not and never was a conservative. So “conservatives” are not attacking conservatives. Huckabee is a huge fence rider who gives the benefit of doubt where there is none–most of us know that. Which is why he has not been able to push forward in a campaign—we don’t need a Flip Flopper and Fido (rollover) President. As much as I dislike Obama and his policies, one thing he doesn’t do is roll over. So, why would we go from horrible to catastrophic? People like Huckabee are attacking close to the election because they don’t want the conservatives to take root. It leaves less chance for him. He is trying to appeal to the fence riders and progressives like himself. And no amount of him getting on his boring show and issuing an apology for his reaction will matter—unless he addresses why he believes he is right about things. It is odd that he chose to attack Glenn on conspiracy theories when in fact, they aren’t conspiracies. This is what outrages many of us—that someone like Huckabee would jump on that bandwagon. He did zero to bolster his own reputation by attacking Glenn on this one. What he did is expose himself for who he truly is.

      Beck criticized no conservative. Had he not exposed Huckabee for who he is and what he’s done, many wouldn’t know and vote in another rampant spender.

      We need someone with a business mindset where spending is attached to something productive. Gov’t people spend to get votes, grant favors, secure kickbacks, etc. Business people may do some of that but years of discipline forced on them by their boards, bosses, share holders, etc. make them a lot more reluctant to throw money at every problem. They first check things out and ensure the right solution has been discovered, THEN they fund it. Huckabee has shown he throws money at things and hopes for the best…with the worst happening most of the time.

      @THE COMING NEW WORLD ORDER,

      You are spot on which makes a great point that Mitt Romney is not a Washington establishment candidate. The media and the GOP teamed up to get him taken down. It was blatantly on display in Florida when RINO’S Charlie Christ and Martinez through their last minute endorsements to McCain which shocked me as all indications I was getting is Mitt Romney was going to get their endorsement and they done that on the eve of super Tuesday with Florida being the biggest prize. I do believe that he is very well positioned this time around and that is why I have no reluctance to give him my full endorsement and I do believe that with Mitt in the end conservatives, the country and the tea party will be the big winners to the same degree that Obama was for the left.

      What I like about Mitt Romney is many of us know that he is very pro constitution, pro tea party and has this country’s interest and well being at the forefront as much as Allen West, Herman Cain and Sarah Palin, but will be able to get across the board support because many liberals mistakenly assume since he was the Governor of Massachusetts that he is liberal and they couldn’t be more mistaken but I am very happy for them to go on believing that. Those of us who have really taken the time to get to know Mitt Romney, who I will be the first to admit he has really evolved, know that he is much more conservative than the media‘s and public’s overall perception of him. Mike Huckabee is much more progressive than perceived and Donald Trump is much more liberal.

Beavis and ******** would be better president than BHO. If any of the establishment types (Huckabee, Romney, Gingrich) or even Donal Trump somehow manage to get the nomination that we will support them over Obama every day of the week. Thing is, primaries are about getting the best person. It is THE time to ‘bicker’ amongst ourselves and convince each other of who should be our candidate.

      If people don’t spread the word t5hat people like Huchabore are RINOs, than who do they know?
      EX: In 2008, I was ready to vote for a slug over Obama. And who did we get from the MSM (yes, the MSM used to pick our candidates. McCain was their favorite GOP until he ran against Obama.No more) and the GOP Establishment? McCain, Romney, and Huckabore.
      All three are Amnesty hounds. If they say they are not, they are LYING. ALL were for Amnesty before the 2008 POTUS election!
      Well, I held my nose and voted for Romney in the Primary. Then Huckabore pulling votes from Romney forced Romney out early. The perfect storm, McCain won.
      Then I cut my nose off and voted for McCain in the General. He lost. He was a HORRIBLE Candidate and if it hadn’t been for Palin, he would have lost BAD.
      I still today feel that the 14% bump McCain got from Palin after the Convention few weeks before the election, was lost because he ran back to DC to “lead” the GOP into voting FOR TARP. Obama did not go back to DC and kept his cool, although he supported TARP.
      On that night, there was supposed to have been the last debate, and McCain canceled out and was excoriated by Obama and the MSM. So he did suck it up go back for it.
      That morning, he had a 7% lead in the polls, two days later, he was behind. And it wasn’t the debate that did it, as BOTH candidates did terrible in the debate.
      I believe Romney would have won, but he would have been (and still may) a horrible President. Amnesty, all around. Same reason I hated Bush.

      Glenn is a Libertarian…Huck is a Republican.
      Glenn is a Mormon….Huck is a Christian.
      Glenn is a talk show host who was an alcoholic…Huck is a talk show host who was a fat governor of Arkansas.

      They have both overcome addictions and want to help our country be great once again.

      So, this feud needs to stop and Glenn needs to stop pouring more fuel on this fire. I don’t know if this is all goes back to the “incident” in 2007 but it is not healthy for those who really do not want Obama to win in 2012. We need to unite not divide.
      There are no perfect candidates…we heard just today that Glenn is not as infatuated with Chris Christie as once he was…is Chris Christie a progressive too now? How long until West says something that involves big govt will he too be marked as a progressive? Just sayin.

But now that Conservatives have to say what they are actually for, divisions arise. Beck has come in against any effort to reduce childhood obesity. That’s not a tenable positions.

      Pretty simple explanation. Beck is mormon and will ultimately support Romney, but he is going to get there slowly – can’t be too obvious.

      Mormons are still made at Huckster for getting the christian vote – mormons think christians should have voted for Romney. Funny thing is 95% of mormons voted for romney, a higher rate than blacks voted for Obama. This is all about trying to get the christian vote to romney. As much as I may like glen, i’m not falling for this – his mormon faith is not a part of the solution for this country.

The will flip flop with romney to the very end and never tell the rest of us the true reason why which is because they want a mormon in the white house period.”

      Let’s list what you got right, and which you didn’t, shall we?

      1) RomneyCare is Progressive – TRUE
      2) Romney is Pro-Abortion – NOT SO TRUE

      Although Romney campaigned for Pro-Abortion laws, he actually never inacted any- and in fact, he ended up vetoing and opposing abortion legislation as Governor in Mass.

      3) Romney is Pro-Homosexual – NOT TRUE

      As Governor, Romney in favor of anti-discrimination legislation which would protect gays from being refused employment based on their sexual preferance- however, Romney was quite outspoken against gay marriage and the harm it would do socially and legally

      4) Mormon‘s like Romney because he’s a Mormon… NOT SO TRUE

      As with most, it’s the MESSAGE more than the messanger that people resonate with- for instance, being a Mormon hasn‘t done much for Harry Reid’s popularity amoung Mormons, and a number of other Mormon candidates for President didn’t garner such wide-spread Mormon support (ie. Orrin Hatch, Morris K. Udall, even George Romney)

      5) Mormons just want a Mormon in the White House… NOT TRUE

      Why? For points? Is their someone keeping score?

      First, I don’t remember Romney ever running as a pro-Mormon candidate, so the idea he’d do favors for Mormons in office is absurd… and Second, at the slightest indication of Romney doing anything to even slightly promote or encourage Mormonism, he would get him ripped to shreds by EVERYONE – and everyone knows it.

      I think you just don’t like Mormons.

      Mike Huckabee = Conservative Republican – which actually is Conservatism.

      Sorry, But I don’t want the government or corporations telling my kids what to eat. That makes me a true Conservative. Preventing corporations from brain washing and destroying my childrens health is very conservative because it prevents waste and conserves my child health! HELLO? Hey TV Zombie anyone home? Wake the hell up people!

      CONSERVE

      to prevent injury, decay, waste, or loss of: Conserve your strength for the race.
      2.

      Mike Huckabee was regarded by fellow Republican governors as a compulsive tax increaser and spender. He increased the Arkansas tax burden by 47 percent, boosting the levies on gasoline and cigarettes. The Arkansas Leader.com editorialized that Mike Huckabee raised more taxes in 10 years in office than Bill Clinton did in his 12 years.

      The National Education Association endorses any candidate who raises taxes and opposes school choice – thus they endorsed Mike Huckabee.

      Huckabee “broadly repudiates core Republican policies such as free trade, low taxes, the essential legitimacy of America’s corporate entities and the market system allocating wealth and opportunity,” according to George Will.

      The Arkansas Ethics Commission held proceedings 20 times on the former governor. During his tenure, Huckabee accepted 314 gifts valued overall at more than $150,000, according to documents filed with the Arkansas secretary of state’s office. (He accepted 187 gifts in his first three years as governor but was not required to report their value.)

      Two months after taking office, Huckabee stunned the state by saying he questioned rapist Wayne DuMond’s guilt and that it was his intention to free the rapist, DuMond murdered a women in Illinois after Huckabee set him free

      Huckabee battled conservatives within his own party who were pushing for stricter state-level immigration measures, such as:.
      – proof of legal status when applying for state services that aren’t federally mandated
      - proof of citizenship when registering to vote
      - Huckabee failed in his effort to make children of illegal immigrants eligible for state-funded scholarships and in-state tuition to Arkansas colleges.

      He joined the Democratic chorus in indicting President Bush for his “arrogant bunker mentality.” Is he in the right party?

      Huck’s use of the “Christian Leader” title and the Cross in his ads and his attempt to denigrate Mitt Romney’s religion is a thinly-veiled attempt to impose a religious test in violation of Article Six of the Constitution

      The Huckster was the keynote speaker at an anti-Mormon conference in Salt Lake City. And he knows nothing about Mormons? And the “Christian Leader” doesn’t want to release his sermons?

      He led the Arkansas Baptists liberal congregations in a dispute with the conservative Southern Baptist Conference.

I have Libertarian leanings for sure, but there are certain things things I can’t go for in the platform. I like and agree with Glenn on many things. I have to say I’m a conservative-libertarian, or a classic Jeffersonian Liberal.

      At any rate, Huckabee is NOT a progressive either, but I don‘t think that’s what Glenn was saying either. I think he was simply asking why a conservative would support this kind of progressive idea. I‘ll give Huckabee the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t realize there was a bill as part of this effort. I have read his book, and he talks a lot about “good government is small government” and how the “government closest to the people functions best” all conservative, traditional founding ideas. Huckabee understands the difference between State government and Federal Government, and how State Governments have traditionally had more power, via the constitution. IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. Even at the founding, we had big gov v. small gov/libertarian debates, and that is why States could decide and make their own laws according to their own sensibilities. If one State wanted a nanny gov, then fine, but that nanny gov stopped at their border. For many years the western states/territories were what I would call libertarian: a.k.a. “the wild west.” Think and learn for yourself people, just as Glenn has said himself many times, don’t just take his word for something.

In a calm collective manner, Glenn adressed each issue and set the story straight. Sadly, there are some politicians ( on both sides ) that are so blinded by their own quest for power that the refuse to listen to the TRUTH. The only way we can truly fix our country is to go back to the constitution and restore TRUTH & HONOR back into our government and our daily lives.

The purpose of electing people into our government is to prevent the powers at be from violating human rights. Children are not old enough the make the best decisions when left un-parented. I only wish they would put good food in the vending machines. As a parent that’s what I want! Most educated parents would agree that the eating the right food at school will help their behavior and grades. This is not rocket science. Who in their right mind wants their children loaded up with sugar all day at school? Diabetes is growing ramped in our country. The drug industry loves the fact their children eat unhealthy. Why is this so obvious for some but others are brain washed by big government corporations which controls all news networks including FOX. That’s most likely the reason Beck is leaving. I could go on and on. You either get it or you don’t. The truth has no agenda except for purpose of saving souls and setting the captives free. Many have their minds captive by propaganda. Do you own homework!

      @Zombie,

      Did the big bad corporations force those machines in there?
      Or did the schools willingly allow them in? You know, like maybe for the PROFIT?
      No, they would not do that. Would they?

      Because he is not, I repeat NOT a conservative. He is a party hack left over from the Bush tax cut and spend republicans. Thank you Mr. Beck for pointing this out for those who think everyone with an R in front of their name makes them a conservative.

      Beck is so stupid, he’s been pooping on progresives for years, and now he says it’s not a big deal to call Huckabee a progressive. If Beck had one ounce the credibility or brains of Huckabee he’d get off his dumb face and actually run for office. Sitting on the sidelines and spewing garbage is easy. Glenn needs to put this money where his mouth is, except I think he likes all the money going to his pockets. You know you’ve gone off the deep end when FOX fires you. The clock is ticking on Beck’s career.
