In front of cameras after his craptaculous response to the Bhutto assassination, he went "all in" at the Republican Texas Scare-em poker tourney. After trying to explain what it was he meant to say, Mr. Huckabee tried to gain favor with the neocons by pandering to their fear mongering egos.
"It also points out something we should do domestically and that is we ought to have an immediate, very clear monitoring of borders. And particularly to make sure if there is any unusual activity of Pakistanis coming into the country we just need to be in a very, very thorough in looking at every aspect of our own security internally because again we live in a very, very
dangerous time."- Mike Huckabee
On the bright side he may have single handedly inoculated the voting public to the effects of the fear card. In their rush to do away with the "Huckabee surge", so-called mainstream republican loyalists have begun to point out the fallacy of such an idiotic statement. Thus giving the American people a light to shine upon other equally idiotic statements the GOP has valued for some time now.
Laws just or unjust may govern men's actions. Tyrannies may restrain or regulate their words. The machinery of propaganda may pack their minds with falsehood and deny them truth for many generations of time. But the soul of man thus held in trance or frozen in a long night can be awakened by a spark coming from God knows where and in a moment the whole structure of lies and oppression is on trial for its life. -Winston ChurchillI present Exhibit 1
