Huckabee's Obama Assassination Proclamation

Good thing this guy dropped out of the race, cause we certainly don't need this brand of presidential "humor."


Former candidate Mike Huckabee was speaking Friday to the NRA, when there was a loud bang. Instead of continuing his speech, he aimed a joke at Barack Obama. *crickets*

Huckabee apologized for his "offhand remark," saying it was not "intended to offend or disparage Senator Obama." Obama, for his part, refused to comment.

Because what's funnier than killing a U.S. Senator?!

46. Huckabee's comments are shameful, even to those of us who are proud to be Republican voters. Can't imagine whyhe would even think such a thing. What is also sad, however, is that Michelle Obama can say shameful things, too, and I have yet to hear the Liberal folks who like to post at sites like this decry her comments. Little bit too one-sided for my taste. First time she's ever been proud of her country? Really? After she's milked the system for all its worth? None of them are perfect, and that includes ALL of us.

48. For those saying, "he could have been your president"...spare me, he was no more closer to becoming President than I am. This man will never be President. Get over yourselves.

#31: Thanks for the clarification. Sounds more like it actually. It's too bad the comment couldn't have been aimed (no pun intended) at Hillary then no one could play the race card on either side. Which just goes to show that the comment was a bad joke against the FRONT RUNNER of the opposing team. He obviously thought he was being witty, funny, whatever and it played badly. Foolish but not meant in harm.

51. How bitter are those Clinton voters, just like her they thought she was entitled to the White House. They fell for the I'll magically transport you back to the tranquility 90s. They also share being completely irrational, since you didn't win I'll vote the party I know is full of crap. Um, with that kindof logic, you might be a Republican anyway.

The Iranian reference is even funnier, you just prove a point to how different Obama is than extremist Muslim leaders infact, While President Ahmadinejad talks about wiping Israel off the map and calls us the Great Satan, Obama talks about better diplomacy. I know your ignorance has no limits but you can tell the two apart right?

52. Obviously it was Huckabee's vision for a better America. We can only hope.

54. Wait, wait the funniest post yet, Republicans = intellect. Do I really need to make a list? Just to prove how stupid that comment is, yes.

-Republicans claim to be fiscal conservatives but run massive deficits(which were only balanced during the Clinton admin)
-start unwinnable wars in Iraq with lies and deciet, crippling our Armed Forces and strengthing our enemies
-destroy diplomatic relations with all but a handful of countries despite being the "leaders" of the free world
-despite undisputable proof of climate change and the ridiculous price of oil still no new energy policy
-claims moral superiority but has more closet gay man than in professional sports
-literally there only slogan is I am the only one that can protect you like George Bush dispatching Dick Cheney to everyone's front door with shotgun in hand

55. Yes, but here is the difference in outrageous comments. Rev Wright is a pastor of a candidate, Michelle Obama is a wife of a candidate, but the person saying these remarks is actually A CANDIDATE. Infact #2 or 3 in their primaries, tells me all I need to know. And his base is the morally surperior, um, ok.

Someone wake me up when the Republicans have something to say that doesn't try to scare me.

56. 47. I was once told that the democratic party was a philosophy based on emotion and the republican party was based on intellect. Based on some of thse comments I can understand why.

With George Bush in office, seriously? I think my brain just exploded.

57. Good lord - he made a silly joke to an audience of NRA people, simply pointing out the differences in stances on gun control. Yeah it was corny, but please. Its politics and they all take stupid stabs at each other - it wasnt meant to be "racial". Blah Im so sick of them all on both sides, and even sicker of TMZ trying to pimp their own agenda. WE DONT CARE TMZ - we come here for mindless entertainment, not more of the goofball politicians. Blah.

58. Mike is your typical hypocrite.He likes to talk about character,morality and integrity but he has none of his own.As for the NRA I once belonged to it.They are not what a lot of people think they are.They are very corrupt.

59. I thought Huckabee was better than this, what a dumbass that wsn't no joke it was a threat Mike and john SUCKS

60. Why are there so many morons reading this site? Just because TMZ hinted that he mentioned "assassinating Obama" then you all fall for it? And you call HIM stupid? HAHAHAHA

The joke had NOTHING to do with assassination. It was a light hearted joke at best.
