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?!

62. Relax everyone its just a joke, they wouldn't actually send anyone to shoot him, well outside of Dick Cheney, but anyone else I mean.

64. I don't think the Democrats have been trying to win since Gore's SC defeat. Kerry gave up too easy and handed it over in a very suspect manner. (ref:blackbox info)
Now these two losers (C&O) are doing their best to self-destruct. I'll vote for McCain just to teach the Dem-party a lesson.and look to 2013.

Jesus loves you.

66. You know what?! All of these racist comments towards Obama because he's running to be our next Pres. are insane!

I do not recall, in my 32 years of life, ever hearing racist comments towards any white, male, president, EVER! I mean, sure, there were no media outlets that allow freedom of opinions, but c'mon. What could we complain about? "Oh, boy, here's another white, male,president." That's what we're used to. White people being in power, and realisticaly, screwing it up all across the world for almost everyone!

Are you all scared to have a minority as a Pres.? Do you feel our past and president leaders have done a great job running the country? How's our economy, wars, and world, now? I mean, really, people. You all are so closed minded and a$$backwards.

68. Relax everyone, it was just a joke, nobody in their party would actually shoot someone, well Dick Cheney, but I meant other than him.

69. Its just a joke everyone relax, now if our Vice President said it sure, I can see the worry. But Mike is religious and owns a gun to shoot his food or defend his home from redcoats.

70. If Obama wins this election, this country is doomed. He is not a good candidate, he has no clue what he is doing, and his ideas are only gonna hurt us.
That being said, I dont want Clinton OR McCain to win Either. NONE of them are qualified to help this country right now!
THey need to go back to the perverbial drawing board for now, and learn what it used to mean to be a President of the greatest country on Earth!

71. To the rascism comment... just because Obama is black doesn't mean he will do a good job. His skin color has NOTHING to do with his qualifications!

72. You people are cracking me up. It was not a joke about Obama dying or getting killed. It was a joke about Obama's political stands when it comes to terrorism and terrorist regimes. Let's face it, whethr you like or don't like Obama, the guy would rather duck than stand up and fight. If you agree with turning the other cheek or not retaliating when hit by terrorists or threatened by terrorists, then you are going to agree with Obama. If you'd rather meet the terrorists on the battle field and try to beat them, you won't agree with him. Regardless, it wasn't a bad joke or a mean joke, it was a joke based on Obama's own words as to what he would do if confronted by terrorism/terrorists. Deal with it.

73. I am Barack obama supporter and honestly I don't think this was meant the way it is being taken. Everyone needs to lighten up.

74. So let me get this straight, this former Presidential Candidate makes jokes about shooting the possible nomination of the other party. The Vice President actually shoots people and the current President prefers to use bombs instead of bullets. Well hell if these people aren't backed by the morale values voters who would be?
