Mike Huckabee is Furious With Glenn — But Should He Be?

If you just read the headlines, Mike Huckabee and Glenn Beck are feuding. Glenn said some things about Mike’s political views and threw around the term “progressive.“ That prompted a response from Mike that include the words ”cancer“ and ”Nazi.”

Wow, that got out of hand quick.

So let‘s take a second to cut through it all and figure out what’s going on.

First, it’s important to know what Glenn said on radio two days ago. Here’s an audio excerpt (h/t Mediaite), with a transcript to follow later:

That’s the clip making the rounds courtesy of Media Matters. Now I‘m not sure if that’s the only excerpt Huckabee heard, but here’s the response he issued after that clip came out:

This week Glenn Beck has taken to his radio show to attack me as a Progressive, which he has said is the same as a “cancer” and a “Nazi.” 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. I’m no fan of her husband’s policies for sure, but I have appreciated her efforts that Beck misrepresented—either out of ignorance or out of a deliberate attempt to distort them to create yet another “boogey man” hiding in the closet that he and only he can see. The First Lady’s approach is about personal responsibility—not the government literally taking candy from a baby’s mouth. He seems to fancy himself a prophet of sorts for his linking so many people and events together to describe a massive global conspiracy for pretty much everything. Sadly, he seems equally inept at recognizing the obvious fact that children are increasingly obese and that we now see clinical evidence of diseases in children that as recent as 20 years ago were found only in adults, such as Type 2 diabetes. The costs to our nation are staggering in increase health care expenses, but it even effects national security with now 75% of young men between the ages of 17 and 24 are unfit for military service primarily due to obesity! His ridiculous claim that John McCain and I collaborated and conspired in the 2008 campaign is especially laughable. Is he not aware that McCain and I were competitors—not cohorts? Beck needs to stick to conspiracies that can’t be so easily de-bunked by facts. Why Beck has decided to aim his overloaded guns on me is beyond me.

Okay, now that seems a little over the top. First, let’s take a deep breath. Second, a couple things worth pointing out.

For starters, Glenn never called Huckabee a “cancer” or a “Nazi.” That’s not in the audio, and it‘s not in the more complete transcript you’re about to read. Maybe at some time or some place and in a much different context, Glenn used some of those terms in the same sentence. But he hasn’t compared actual progressives to Nazis, and that’s not the context here. And context is always important.

Glenn did, however, call Huckabee a progressive Republican, just like people for years have called John McCain a progressive Republican. There’s no secret about that. And to be honest, Glenn backed his statement up with some examples, mainly that Huckabee has aligned himself with the nanny state polices surrounding Michelle Obama’s anti-child-obesity campaign. (And those policies are progressive — see here and here as just two examples)

So far, then, we have two exaggerations and a truth. Cancer, no. Nazi, no. Progressive Republican, yes. But now let’s look at the full transcript from that part of the show and see what else Glenn said. See, when you look at that you see that Glenn was actually complimentary of Huckabee and went out of his way to praise him on some things. Here are some of the quotes:

“Now, I will tell you somebody who I have nothing bad to say about this gentleman.”

“He’s not  I don‘t think he’s for this kind of giant government.”

“Now, I think that Huckabee is truly deeply religious and I think he truly is a Christian man…”

“I think Mike Huckabee is sincere in his faith.”

“I like the fact that he’s a religious man.”

“Now, I’ve talked to him. I thought he was a fine guy. … He was great.”

“Believe me he’s no Barack Obama. He’s not even remotely close to that sort of thing.”

Now call me a conspiracy theorist, but ‘dem don’t sound like fightin’ words. And they’re not. In fact, it seems like Glenn‘s going out of his way to draw a distinction between Huckabee’s progressivism and, say, Barack Obama’s. Take a look at the (unedited) transcript yourself. Note that it encompasses more than the above audio, so it’s worth the read:

Glenn: … Now, I will tell you somebody who I have nothing bad to say about this gentleman. He is  I’m not going to  you know, I know he’s loved and a lot of people really support him and that is great. I think Mike Huckabee is the one, if you are somebody who understands progressives are on both sides of the aisle, I think Mike Huckabee is John McCain. I think Mike Huckabee is a guy who’s had Michelle Obama on and said, you know what? Your fat kid programs, they are great. They are great.

STU: I don’t think he said it exactly like that.

PAT: Well, look how closely he and McCain were aligned during the campaign.

GLENN: Yes.

PAT: They got together to destroy Mitt Romney. That’s what they did last time. They seem to get along pretty well together.

GLENN: And he is a progressive. He  look at his record. He is a progressive.

STU: He’s weird on  we talked about this during the 2008. He’s, you know, a little  he raised taxes in his state, he’s kind of overreaching with sort of the nanny sort of health style.

GLENN: Big time. Big time. He is the perfect  quite honestly he’s the only one I think that is the perfect progressive candidate for the Republican Party. He’s the guy. He will play along with the party politics. He will get along to get along. He will move things along. He doesn’t want to disrupt giant government. He’s not  I don‘t think he’s for this kind of giant government.

STU: No, no.

GLENN: But he will  he’s John McCain. He will still do all of the policy things. He‘s perfect for the progressives because he’s also appealing to the religious side. And so you have to have the religious side. That’s why Obama has his religious outreach with Jim Wallis. Now, I think that Huckabee is truly deeply religious and I think he truly is a Christian man where Jim Wallis, I‘m not going to judge his soul but he’s a Marxist. I haven’t met a lot of Marxists that love Jesus. You know what I mean?

STU: It’s not their defining characteristic typically, no.

GLENN: Right. Where I think Mike Huckabee is sincere in his faith.

STU: Oh, yeah. There’s a lot of positives with Huckabee. A lot of people like him because, A, he’s a fantastic communicator and, B, he’s one of the only guys really out there, you know, who focuses more on the social issues and that’s something that not every candidate does. So I mean, I think a lot of people like him for that reason. But I don’t like some of his bigger government tendencies.

GLENN: I don’t like  here‘s what I don’t like. I like the fact that he’s a religious man.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: I don’t like the fact, whenever you couple religion with progressivism, it becomes dangerous. I don’t want somebody regulating and telling me about religion. Now, I‘m not saying that Huckabee is going to do anything to hurt my religion or anybody else’s religion, it just, I don’t like the combination  no, no, let me just say this. I don’t like big government people. And Mike Huckabee is a big government person. Now, I’ve talked to him. I thought he was a fine guy. You know, he credited me with his win in Iowa last time because remember? He was on  he was on the CNN show, gave him an hour.

STU: That’s right, yeah.

GLENN: And he made a lot of sense and he was great. He was great.

STU: Believe me he’s no Barack Obama. He’s not even remotely close to that sort of thing.

GLENN: He is not. He is not. But he is certainly, in my opinion, not a guy that, if you have a libertarian or small government bend to you. STU: Well, he’s bashed libertarians several times outwardly, yeah.

Interesting, isn’t it?

In the end, then, it seems that what we have here is Glenn pointing out some concerns about Huckabee’s positions (a completely legitimate and necessary thing to do), and then the media (i.e. Media Matters) getting a hold of it and making sure the sound bite does not include the praise lavished on the person behind those positions.

What it’s not is an all-out war between two prominent conservatives. It seems much more like an honest critique spun to sound like an ad hominem.

After all, that fits better into Media Matters’ narrative.

    The headline reads that Mike Huckabee is “furious” with Glenn – I want to see not only what Glenn said, I want a transcript of what Huckabee actually said, or was it what an aide said. That he wouldn’t be happy with Glenn calling him a progressive – when that describes the RINO’s and Socialist Democrats perfectly.

    Huckabee sucks. Didn’t take more than a nano-second to bust out with the ‘Beck is a conspiracy theorist” thing. Holy cow. Who didn‘t know that Huck and McCain weren’t colluding to oust Romney? What? It didn’t happen because nobody saw us doing the secret hand shake?

    There‘s plenty about Huck that’s awful. I wouldn‘t even bother with Huck licking Michelle’s stilletos – his record is virtually identical to Clinton’s. As to his religion, he should go back and crack the book again… he tried to pull the religion card – you’re all bad Christians! – on people against Amnesty – not sure where in the bible it says we must support ruinous illegal immigration with forcefully confiscated tax dollars.

      I thought the huckster listed himself as a preacher – just went to his site to confirm – no mention however Wikipedia lists him as an author, ordained Southern Baptist minister, musician and public speaker. There was no mention as to his education [yes I know it is Wikipedia] but this information is interesting: {At 21, Huckabee was a staffer for James Robison, a television evangelist. Robison commented, “His convictions shape his character and his character will shape his policies. His whole life has been shaped by moral absolutes.” Huckabee has stated, “Politics are totally directed by worldview. That’s why when people say, ‘We ought to separate politics from religion,’ I say to separate the two is absolutely impossible”. Prior to his political career, Huckabee served as pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Pine Bluff, Arkansas from 1980 to 1986 and the Beech Street Baptist Church in Texarkana from 1986 to 1992. In both Texarkana and Pine Bluff Huckabee started 24-hour television stations “where he produced documentaries and hosted a program called Positive Alternatives.} So he apprenticed as a televangelist and became a preacher, then graduated to politics. Yes a real solid background there, no wonder he omits it from his website. He then worked with the very conservative john mccain to elbow romney (not my favorite candidate) out of the way – Hey, mickey is that what you learned at televangelist’s school. He and johnny, behind the eight ball, thought they knew better what we wanted/needed than we did, or they are just blinded by power, either way I did not/will not vote for them.

    I have to agree with you. Huckabee’s knee jerk reaction will not win him votes, nor will siding with Michelle Obama. I agree we have an obesity problem but to think regulation will handle it is crazy. Some states have already instituted regulations and I will be interested to see how skinny their citizens are getting – statistics, please. Sorry, Mike, can’t vote for you in 2012.

    It‘s a shame that the Republicans haven’t learned to read between the lines on everything Media Matters says these days. You can’t take anything at face value. Huckabee lacked the integrity to listen to anything but the MM clip and then started slinging mud. I’m pretty sure he just killed his chances because those who listen to Glenn heard the concerns IN CONTEXT. A man of God should know better than that. I agree with Glenn, big government (Progressivism) plus big religion (ordained minister) is a dangerous combination due to his wanting to help the less fortunate but blurring the line between government and the churches being the more charitable organization.

Huckabee seemed irritated that Romney was LDS, which shows Huckabee to be a bit of a bigot. Romney will have issues with his state health-care plan. If I had my preference I would vote for Allen West. But so far that is not gonna happen.

      They always talk about diabetes as a benchmark yet fail to mention that they lowered the numbers that actually qualify as diabetes a few years back. Now more people are “diabetic” because they changed the numbers that qualify as a diabetic. So several years back some would not be considered to be a diabetic that are now considered to be in that range.

      I think you can preach good food habits but leave all of us to decide for ourselves what we want to eat and if we want to follow dietary guidelines. I think Huckabee should just leave it alone….not support Michele’s efforts because they are nanny state for sure. We need republicans right now who believe in freedom……..and that includes freedom to eat what we want to eat.

      I’m a big Glenn Beck fan. But, I try to retain some objectivity. After several years of regular listening I have noticed that Glenn eventually finds fault with almost everyone. That way he always has a way out. In other words, if the candidate he endorses fails to meet expectations he can always say he had reservations. For instance, he is currently heaping praises on Allen West. Should West run for president. Beck will inevitably express a hesitation.

      Here’s the problem with your web-link. The presupposition that fascism is a phenomenon on the American right is bunk for this simple reason. To limit government is to move to the right, to grow government is a move to the left.

      To put it in simple terms:
      Total Government / Tyranny = LEFT-wing
      No Government / Anarchy = RIGHT-wing

      Now, let’s take a look at some of the claims made by the site you linked to.

      CLAIM 1: They not only oppose abortion, they believe abortion providers should be killed.

      While opposition to abortion is indeed a position of the right, this claim fails in how that position demonstrates “fascism” or national socialism. While abortion may have indeed been criminalized, there were of course exceptions in terms of racial purity and eugenics. This had more to do with Hilter’s plot to weed out “inferior” peoples from the master race. If anything, the Nazi position has more in common with Margaret Sanger’s intent with Planned Parenthood to target and eliminate the black population. So, the Nazi position on abortion is arrived at by a completely different set of values that are common to American conservatism.

      CLAIM 2: They not only believe that liberal elites control the media and financial institutions, but that a conniving cabal of Jews is at the heart of this conspiracy to destroy America.

      This is absurd. Karl Marx, the author of the Communist Manifesto was a raging anti-semite despite being of Jewish ancestry himself. Am I to believe that he’s a Right-winger solely because of that? Benito Mussolini, the father of Italian Fascism didn‘t understand Hitler’s anti-semitic obsession and stated that Jews could also be good socialists. How do you reconcile these discrepancies? How do you account for Leftist support for Muslim extremists who desire to wipe out the Jews regardless if they’re Israeli or not? What are you guys, closet Hitlerites?

      CLAIM 3:They not only despise Big Government, they believe it is part of a New World Order plot to enslave us all.

      Good grief! Would it bother you to actually look at the Nazi Party platform? There is absolutely nothing in there that makes one think that they are looking to reduce the size of government. Virtually everything mentioned increased the size and authority of the national government in one form or another. That’s LEFT-wing!

      CLAIM 4: They not only defend gun rights avidly, they stockpile them out of fear that President Obama plans to send in U.N. troops to take them away from citizens.

      Nazi Germany ABOLISHED private gun ownership. That is LEFT-wing.

      CLAIM 5:They not only oppose homosexuality as immoral, they believe gays and lesbians deserve the death penalty.

      So did most of Western Civilization and the Middle East to this day. How about this: I believe that homosexuality is a disordered lust along with fornication, and masturbation and henceforth immoral. But here’s the kicker; I’m not for passing legislation criminalizing any of those behaviors. So, am I “leftwing” or “rightwing”?

      CLAIM 6: They not only oppose civil-rights advances for minorities, they also believe a “race war” is imminent, necessary and desirable.

      Civil-rights “advances” for minorities as in college acceptance or hiring quotas IS racist because you‘re operating under the assumption that a person’s ethnicity somehow prevents them from EARNING their way and henceforth need a handout.

Him supporting just his least progressive act of worrying about fat kids is not even the tip of the iceberg. But all things are relative. Compared to Obama, Huckabee is not quite as progressive, obviously. But compared to a true conservative, Huckabee is definitely a progressive Republican.

      The Boston Globe, which I find to be generally hostile to anything with which I agree, wrote something nice about Gov. Romney. Specifically, a recent editorial placed MassCare in context:

      After an Urban Institute study recommended an individual mandate, Romney made that the core of his plan. That was a way of sidestepping the approach many Democrats favored: a payroll tax of 5 to 7 percent on businesses that did not offer health coverage. That idea, the subject of a planned ballot question, became the preferred approach of then-House speaker Sal DiMasi. Businesses worried, and with good reason, about the costs such a plan would impose.
      DiMasi, however, remained adamant about putting much of the responsibility on business, something both Romney and then-Senate president Robert Travaglini opposed. At one point, DiMasi talked of forcing firms to pay $800 to $1,000 per uncovered employee.

      The compromise that finally broke the long stalemate was based on an individual mandate, but called for companies without coverage to pay $295 per worker per year. That was essentially the Romney plan, but with enough of a business contribution to let DiMasi save face. In a move that angered DiMasi, Romney signed the bill, but vetoed the business levy. The Legislature overrode his veto, reimposing the fee.

      All in all, then, the role Romney played was of a governor sensitive to business concerns and worried about the state’s business climate. Now, conservatives have come to view that individual mandate as an intolerable imposition on personal liberty, rather than an insistence on personal responsibility. In no small part that’s because such a mandate also plays a central role in Obama’s health care plan. But if they weren’t hyperventilating about the national law, they might come to recognize that the role Romney played on the state level was skillful, creative, and business-friendly.

I finally stopped watching his show, because it seemed to me that he was somewhat “progressive” if not down-right “whimpy” in his comments. If he runs in the GOP primary, I won’t vote for him. We need someone who is a lot more assertive in his/her conservativism than him. I’m tired of “compromising” with the Left. We need to be bold and assertive!

He and McCain certainly did team up and go after Romney during the debates. My husband and I were astonished as we watched it and lost a lot of respect for Huck for doing that. He can deny all he wants, but he’s calling us stupid if he does.

      And then when he played the attack ad against Romney for the media after ‘pulling’ it (in the name of remaining positive)… trying to have it both ways. Tacky tacky tacky.

Huckabore knows McCain is a progressive and probably disagrees with his positions so to be compared/ paired he will react as he did.

      Beck is ALWAYS using VERY tenuous links to paint people as being linked. So when this same vague linking logic — “progressive = cancer, nazi — is used by Huckabee, The Blaze says wait: thats not fair.

      What double standards by The Blaze. If Beck can use the technique, then so should Huckabee.

      Besides, Beck attacking Michelle Obama to stop the tide of Obesity and diabetes is an extremely noble and necessary crusade. No one except Beck — and that idiot Palin — object to this. This stupidity by Beck is why Fox fired him — Beck makes no sense, ever.

      Huckabee is jumping to conclusions before he has all of the facts . . . like someone else we know. You know, they guy who now sits in the chair that Huckabee would like for himself. Huckabee IS a progressive. Glenn did not say it, by I will. Progressives are a cancer to our republic.

      I was thrilled when Glenn told the truth about Huckabee. Was think that I was the only one that felt that way. Only watched his show a few times because all the liberal butt kissing made me sick. He tries to please everybody and in doing that no one get pleased.

      I do not believe Huckabee is a progressive. I do not believe he wants to raise taxes, or he said he did not.Of course everyone says that until they get into office. I do believe he does agree with Big Mama about the food in school, but the man has had a weight problem all his life so I see where that comes from. I see the good things Glenn said about Huckabee in the transcript, but personally everything else is very confusing in the transcript. I do believe Huckabee does want what is best for the country, I like him but I don’t know in the primaries if he would be the one I would vote for. I certainly would however vote for him against Obama.We don’t know yet who we willl even have to vote for.

      Seems like Huckabee has an awfully thin skin kind of like Obama. There was not much I liked about George Bush other than his social conservative beliefs but one thing I really liked is he did not have to answer every attack tick for tack and to tell you the truth that shows tremendous character. People like Donald Trump (Rosie O’Donnell spat) and Huckabee, Whoopee Goldberg, and The King of all Obama have to answer every tiny criticism or negative sound byte, with an absolute tirade shows tremendous weakness and in Huckabee’s, Trump‘s and definitely Obama’s case is very unpresidential. You could say anything about George Bush and totally run his good name and character through the mud and he was confident and secure in himself to never see a need to answer his critics. Thank you Mike Huckabee for showing just how small of a person you really are. I knew it already but many did not and frankly we are way beyond sick of all of the whining out of Obama‘s mouth and don’t ever want a president like that again. I will take one who reacts to his critics like George Bush every time over small minded, immaturity of the likes of Huckabee and Obama.

It was not until Margeret Sanger gave a few speeches to the National Socialist Party Elites in the 1930′s that they stepped up their progressive ideas. It was after Sanger‘s visits to Germany that the Nuremburg Laws were enacted and Jews were targeted by the Gov’t outwardly. We have to remember that it was States in the Midwest that brought the Progressive Party agenda into law by making it illegal to be mentally challenged, they created laws that would become our Mental Assylum system and gave birth to the Movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, which then ended up releasing many mentally deranged out on to the streets without help.

Democrats would nothing better than for Beck to be the face, the voice, of the Right. Because that’s bad for Republicans. And Republicans know it.

      That’s why Beck lost his show. That’s why Republicans, like Huckabee are rejecting Beck. That’s why the word is going around to stop bringing up the birther issue, that‘s why Republicans aren’t becoming more vocal about Trump being a joke.

      To me, that shows that shows there are some brains on the Republican side working on the 2012 election. They realize that “crazy” isn’t going to win the election.

      Glenn is right on this one–I like Mike Huckabee too. However, he is a “yes man” and will roll with it to avoid confrontation. He also gives too much benefit of the doubt when there clearly isn’t any. We don’t need that–either as a president or vice president. He’s not strong enough in that role, and I think he took his reaction a bit far and revealed very plainly where he stands on Glenn. And ODDLY enough–did you notice he started railing on his so-called conspiracy theories?? Busted. If Huckabee wasn’t a progressive Republican, he’d agree that pointing out actual words of those who say them and MEAN them do not equal conspiracy. They equal fact. I don’t often think that Mike H. would actually go this direction, but I could see him trying to appeal to the fence riders by pulling that one. So…Mike, get over it.

      Mike Huckabee was my governor and I would not vote for him for president for several reasons. Although I believe he has good intentions the lack of control of his temper, as shown with his response to Glenn, is the prime reason he should stay away from politics. My example would have been his response to the state legislators blocking a half cent sales tax he proposed. Shortly after being re-elected he come out of nowhere with this tax proposal, that wasn’t brought up during the election, to shore up school funds. The dems were pissed about this and since they controlled the legislator blocked it from coming up. So Huckabee instead appointed some friends to the state department of education and began forcing small school districts to consolidate. In some cases costing more for busing and admin. given the locations of these school districts. Simply put he has an anger management problem which was never really detailed in the last election.

      I’m a huge fan of Glenn, but he’s dead wrong on this one. Nowhere here has it been mentioned Huckabee’s original words on his opinion of child nutrition. He does NOT even believe the government should be feeding kids in school. His only point was that, since we are already feeding them, at least give them something that doesn’t make them fat and lazy. Common sense. I thought Glenn was a deep thinker who would see beyond the surface issue of Huckabee “agreeing” with Michelle Obama. Huckabee is better than McCain on immigration, abortion, gay marriage, bailouts, and basically everything, he has a more conservative stand than McCain by far. So again, Glenn is way out of line here by comparing him to McCain. Did Huckabee beat up on Romney? Yes, thank God someone had the guts to stand up to that gay union lovin’, socialized healthcare, abortion flipping, phoney, stuffed suit of a man, Romney. I just can‘t believe people were so dumb as to not see he’s not a true conservative. (Well okay, I believe it.) Huckabee is way more conservative on every issue than Romney, but Beck hasn’t said much bad about Romney in the last year. He did mention Romney’s healthcare in MA was a fault of his once last year I believe. Then Glenn called Huckabee a Marxist. That is utterly ridiculous. Huckabee would be more like Reagan than Marx, come on Glenn, that’s a low blow. I think Glenn is getting a bit nervous in this transitional phase and not thinking about things quite as wisely as he should. Let‘s hope it doesn’t last. Has Glenn watched Huckabee’s show on the same channel he is on? If so, he would know where he stands on about every issue. Do some research Glenn!

      Well, I too was disgusted what McCain and Huckabee did to sabotage Romney’s run in the primaries. The fact that he’s lying about it now just sinks him deeper into the moral muck. So not only is lying, he‘s lying like a teenager who thinks we’re all too stupid to remember that we WITNESSED him doing exactly what he is now denying.

      [I posted the following comments at Huckabee’s PAC and The Hill. Both were scrubbed from the blogs. Shameful. They can’t be trusted. My 2012 vote is up for grabs.]

      What’s up with Mr. Huckabee? I understand Glenn Beck labeled Huckabee a “progressive” and didn’t directly label him either a “cancer” or “Nazi.” Why would Huckabee elevate this when Beck had only labeled him a progressive with respect to this particular federal program? Huckabee surely must understand that not all progressives are Nazis (short for National Socialists). Huckabee is not a neophyte; he knows the term Nazi is a highly charged term, not to be used lightly. Huckabee seems very disingenuous, if not mendacious, using the term Nazi when Beck apparently never used the term in connection with Huckabee.

      With respect to the progressive label, the shoe fits. As I understand the federal program, it is spending billions of dollars to provide “healthy” food in schools and grocery stores in “underserved” locales. While this undoubtedly is a nice idea, we don’t have extra billions of federal dollars to get involved in what should be a state or local business issue. We are facing a federal financial crisis Mr. Huckabee. Glenn was right; this is a progressive position, not one supported by our federal Constitution, or by federal tax receipts without additional borrowing that threatens our republic’s existence. Moreover, I don’t think the American people want to pay a 20% federal value added tax (VAT) on everything we buy as individuals so the federal government can afford to get more involved in our lives. This is what funds big government social projects around the globe, not an income tax. We Americans would rather keep our 20% to spend as we see fit; this is called liberty. Cut spending.

      The rest of the post was equally malicious, disingenuous or mendacious. I’m very disappointed in Mr. Huckabee’s post. Trump dealt with Krauthammer’s comments much better.

      Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee are both right and both wrong. Beck says he didn’t call Huckabee a nazi or a cancer . But, he did say progressives are nazis and cancers, then turned around and said Huckabee is a progressive. So, let’s analise this, if progressives are nazis and cancers and Huckabee is a progressive, he must also be a nazi and a cancer. None of the names, progressive, nazi and cancer are complimentary but are very offensive . It’s understandable why Huckabee went into defense and attack mode. Beck would do exactly the same thing, and has in the past.

      Huckabee resorts to all manner of character assassination in regards to Beck some of which are fitting and others that are not. I don’t think either one of the two gentlemen made any points for themselves in their mutual attacks o each other.They both are asting a lot of energy and time when they should be consentrating their forces on their mutual enemy, Barack Obama. It seems to me that Beck is just a little bit envious of Huckabee’s political ambitions. Huckabee, on the other hand is a little bit envious of Beck’s radio and TV popularity. In this exchange of words, both are loosers and need to grow up.

      I used to like Huckabee until I heard an old clip of him promoting the global warming scam. To me that makes him a progressive in and of itself. Then he loves Michelle Obama’s, nanny state childhood obesity campaign. We need an anti-progressive for President, not someone who straddles the fence in the name of PC. Trump scares me now because his record is Progressive as well. I am hoping that all the publicity on Trump works up the public in a negative way towards Obamao and out of the anger and disatisfaction, a West/Bachmann ticket emerges and wins.

      Typical Rrepublican progressive, he is, Huckabee. Doesn’t even realize it. He’s been in politics so long– probably surrounded by “yes” men. Figures he knows what’s best –and as his field is politics, naturally he figures the best way to make sure you know what’s best for you is spending money through government. Information on good nutrition is widely, no– very very extremely widely available– in a variety of forms. Huckabee is another “have pity on the stupid ones” spoon-feeder here.

      “Now there’s an idiotic statement if there ever is one that needs exposing.
      The converse is that you believe NO ONE has the right to simply point out whats bad for you.
      Didnt you get the memo? Look around you. There is an epidemic of obesity and diabetes in the US. Should NOTHING be done about simply informing people so that they can make informed choices about what they choose to eat.

      If it were up to far right wing tea party fanatics like you that should be left to McDonalds and Coke, who of course have your best health interests at heart. The fox is looking after the chickens.”
      ———————————-

      So what you are saying is that the 300 pound people in this country are complete morons that have no idea that eating Mcdonalds and drinking Coke is unhealthy? Are you really serious about that? I’m 6 feet and weight 170 lbs and would say I am extremely fit. I can also say that when I eat Mcdonalds, I absolutely know that it isn’t better than steamed veggies, cottage cheese, chicken, tuna, or whatever else you want to insert there. I also know that people realize they have a CHOICE of what they want to eat and they KNOW what they eat is good for them or not.

      These 300 lbs people want to eat what TASTE GOOD. We both know you can put “DO NOT EAT. VERY FATTY” on Mcdonalds all day long, but that isn’t going to make someone go get cottage cheese instead. Cottage cheese taste like crap.

      I have chosen to eat healthy because I want to, because I want to look good. I do NOT eat healthy because it taste great and I am making America a better place to live. Forcing someone to try to eat healthy (or persuade them “if you will”) is not everyone’s view. America wasn’t founded on what YOU think is best for America or what SHE thinks is “best” for America. The American people decide, not YOU.

      To correlate with that, having an opinion that her way of thinking is wrong, well, there is nothing wrong with that. Also, having an “opinion” that people should start promoting their products as “unhealthy” is a valid “opinion”, but when we as a nation start FORCING you to put that on your product, that is where the government is stepping over the line.

      @Maryelizabeth, What part of what Glenn is saying is inflaming panic? The world is in chaos, only world wars have been more violent and chaotic than this exact moment in time. Money makes the world go around, and money is at war, the 3rd great war is an economic one, and with our 14 trillion in debt we are at a tremendous disadvantage. Our ability to destroy the dollar is our greatest defense, but the world and even powers within this nation are working to defend themselves against such action.

      Soon the US will be in a position to either capitulate to a world governing body, or prepare for full on war. I suspect that when JZS tries to assure people that everything is fine, he means that he fully expects the former to be all but a certainty.

      Regardless of which way we as a nation choose to confront this war, we need to prepare, and in a year I will either be eating the freezed dried food in my basement or adding to it, I hope its the latter.

      JZS, people like me aren’t waiting for the world to end, we are waiting for Christ to return so he can set the world straight. According to the Bible, the generation that witnesses the rebirth of Israel after its second destruction will be the same generation that witnesses the return of Jesus Christ, who will establish his kingdom on earth. Israel was reborn for the third time in 1948 and a generation is anywhere from 40 to 100 years in the Bible, so I do think people like you are going to be in for a surprise in the not too distant future.

      I’m dumbfounded that some people don’t find it amazing that prophecies about the third rebirth of Israel were written down 2600 years ago while the Israelites were still captives of the Babylonians. No nation in the history of the earth has disappeared for 2500 years and then been reborn, but God said that’s what would happen with Israel and it did. At any rate, I don’t need stockpiles of food, because God will take care of me, just like he took care of Noah, Lot, the Jews during Passover, the Jews in the desert and the Christians who fled to Pella before Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD.

      …..

      II Peter 3:3-4 “First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, ‘Where is this “coming” he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.’”

      II Timothy 3:1-5,7 “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

      Matthew 24:3-8 “As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. ‘Tell us,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?’ Jesus answered: ‘Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, “I am the Christ,” and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.”

      Luke 17:26-29 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.”

      I find it interesting you try to “use Glenn’s logic” in order to make your case. It’s not Progressives = Nazism/Fascism/Communism. It’s Progressives ——->(lead to) Nazism/Fascism/Communism. If you go back in time and ask the Nazi Party individually if they were progressive, they’d have no clue what your talking about. Communists wouldn’t say their progressives but commies. It happened so fast there was no in between. This country just doesn’t go from the most free both Economically and Liberty wise over night. There needs to be “Progressives” (with good intentions but ignorant to the outcome) in order to get to those dark isms. Beck has constantly said Huckabee seems to be a good man and is no way Obama. He, like may of us, are tired of these ‘me too” Republicans that don’t stand for Conservatism or Libertarianism, but stand for moderate to slightly left ideals. But is is obvious you have an agenda, instead of using the facts. But keep trying, it’s comical.

      Gov.Huckabee, in my opinion, lacks the leadership skills required to be President of the U.S. in this time of great need. He has stated time and time again the need for consensus in governing, of give and take, arriving at a middle point, well that is wrong. Let me give you an example: We have two political parties, one is represented by a “Grasshopper” the other by an “Ant” The Grasshopper wants to live the high life and does not think about the winter which is coming. The Ant on the other hand is a planner who is preparing for the coming winter, which we all know is coming. If we arrive at consensus, the middle point we are only half way prepared and all die during the winter. If we follow the ways of the Grasshopper we all die. We must stand by our Principles, our Moral Values, our Convictions at what ever cost because we know them to be the TRUTH. To do anything else is to deny the truth for which we will suffer the consequences. Gov. Huckabee sometimes appears to loose his religious values for the sake of political gains, which may doom him on both counts.
