Another brilliant comment by the Fuckster from Fox.

These people are so damned dumb, they can't see that it's NOT a matter of trusting the Iranis. It's a matter of being intelligent enough to recognize that what we've been doing since the 1970s IS NOT WORKING..............

They obviously don't give a shit when we threaten military action. It only makes it worse...........HELLO!

Not only that Dave, this is not a unilateral agreement between the US and Iran but between Iran and our western allies plus China. Yet the implication he is making is that Obama administration has entered into an agreement with Iran and somehow the US Congress can nix it. The ignorance they feed their flock!

For a minister Huckabee loves to use hate speech. Would he cast a white President as a Nazi?

I guess it is the lack of embarrassment or shame on the part of the GOP that makes this so sad. None in his party will refute him or tell him to apologize.

As do a lot of progressives.

Just try espousing any individual sentiment that is even slightly right of center if you're a gay person, woman or minority.

Get back on the progressive plantation!

So we can derive a general conclusion that cultural groups and subgroups have their ways of quashing deviance sometimes. Did you have any further point?

On edit--I see you were reacting to the lumps being given Huck-a-bee a little while back for his 'march Israelis to the door of the oven' turn of phrase. Are you really saying that 'progressives' waxing disapproving of something or other in interpersonal political disagreements is the same as a presidential candidate using an outrageous metaphor that basically calls the current president a Nazi? The one excuses the other?

Public demagoguery and blatant shit-throwing, by a prominent politician, should NOT be excused by anyone at any time, however distressingly common it is becoming these days.

You obviously missed the point. A point which most five year olds would have picked up on but for same strange reason elluded you. That point being that whilst progressives are constantly bemoaning the racism and sexism of conservatives it is they that have a concrete set of preconceived notions as to what an individual's sociopolitical beliefs ought to be based on nothing more than their race or gender. If those preconceived notions are not met progressives can be counted on to respond with all manner of sexist and racist epithets. Sort of like when Chris Matthews called Laura Ingraham a slut because she had the gall to be a woman who didn't agree with his progressive worldview or like when leftists call black people like Clarance Thomas, who don't toe the leftist ideological line, slurs such as uncle tom and oreo cookie.

Hypocrisy is the main component of progressive DNA.

As someone who has an undergraduate degree from Arkansas during the meteoric rise of Bill Clinton, I have been aware of Huck for a long, long time. In general, I have always believed his heart is in the right place. That said, as his political aspirations have overtaken, he has moved further right and become more shrill. (Or, he has always been this way and had me snowed.)

Any "oven" reference strikes me as particularly distasteful simply because I'm not certain he actually buys his own -- decade recent -- BS. But he's not campaigning for the state anymore, he's trying to woo a VP nomination on a national level by acting the religious hardliner.

1. I'm not buying anything but a sellout.
2. He doesn't have to win AR, locals don't matter.
3. This is about bold ambition.

That's very un-Christian from the reverend.

Obama's foreign policy feckless?

After under Bush we destroyed Iraq as a country, created ISIS by destroying the Iraqi army, lost nearly 5000 American lives, killed thousands more Iraqis in the process...well you get the drift...it is all Obama's fault.

We thought we were bringing democracy to Iraq when we actually were taking away Iraqi army pensions. No wonder the average ex-Sunni army officer is in no hurry to support the US installed Shite government in Baghdad.

If Assad falls and ISIS rules Damascus they will blame Obama for not saving Iran's ally when they use that same alliance as an excuse to oppose the nuclear deal.
