Huckabee played a direct role in events that led to Dumond’s release.

Would someone, please, point me in the direction of any document, that validates this claim.

If there’s a letter FROM Huckabee TO the parole board, I’d be interested in seeing it.

Anyway, just my two cents. Question such be addressed to Bill (Buckley, that is).

Is it possible he is the Republicans version Of Bill?

No! He’s a RINO version of Jimmah Cartah, what suckered the Evangelical vote in ‘76 with his smile and Southern Baptist trappings. As we all know now, it was just an act and when religion was no longer convenient, he excommunicated the church.

MH seriously worries me. Leaders do NOT wear their emotions on their sleeves and that’s the problem with this M-I-C (Moralist-In-Chief). And as a minister, I’d like him to explain the import of Romans Chp 13 to good & just governance.

The more I read & hear about Huckster, the more I believe that he is the ultimate MSM/Secular Progressive plant sleeper agent.

Yep. That’s pretty much one thing we have to judge a candidate by. My magic eight ball doesn’t give me accurate forecasts on what he will do in the future.

Neither did Huckabee’s magic eight-ball concerning DuMond. Human beings make mistakes. Get over it and look on the bright side; at least Huckabee isn’t Ron Paul!

The main question is, what’s Huckabee’s response now? Will he admit that he did screw up? Will he defend his actions as those of a “compassionate conservative”?

Ronald Reagan was in a distant 4th place before Iowa. Critics hammered him on once being a Democrat. I believe he laughed it off as saying even he was young and stupid once. Will we get a Reagan-esque moment from Huckabee?

…But isn’t one of the main selling points of the Democratic Party that it’s relatively nut-free?

Someone (possibly from this web site) then gave this excellent response:

Bill, the politically correct term is “testicularly-challenged”.

Given that the democratic party is willing to allow an illegal invasion of our country to replace the voters they abort, wouldn’t it also make sense for them to support castration of criminals to add even more voters to their rolls?

Just being sarcastic.

I don’t like Huckabee. I don’t trust him. He’s a bleeding heart conservative.

…the local sheriff, a rather colorful man named Coolidge Conlee, displayed Dumond’s severed testicles in a jar of formaldehyde on his desk in the St. Francis County building.

Could this Arkansas sheriff also be the guy Hillary put in charge of her lockbox? Just wondering…

…the board voted to free Dumond, but on the condition he move to another state.

“Not in my backyard!”
There should be a federal law preventing states from imposing this type of condition on criminals they release. Maybe if they had to worry about the guy moving in next door, they would think twice about releasing him.

That Village Voice article you keep linking is possibly one of the least objective examples of “journalism” that I have ever read.

Yes. That’s kind of my point. It’s a hit piece on Bill Clinton.

Rusty, what would an unhinged moonbat like you like to be referred to as? Who killed Foster? And Ron Brown?

Ummmm…I’m going to go with Vince Foster killing Vince Foster and gravity killing Ron Brown.

Sufferers of BDS like to think Bush is a criminal yet there are no and I mean no facts in evidence, yet when we refer to the Clintons, there is mountains of evidence there was something amiss, yet it becomes a “vast rightwing conspiracy”. That is as bad as Hitler blaming the Jews for Germanys ills.

Oh man. Are you aware of Godwin’s Law? What a crazily inappropriate and inaccurate simile.

It certainly is awfully easy to look back at the past and point out everyone’s crap decisions, isn’t it?

Yep. That’s pretty much one thing we have to judge a candidate by. My magic eight ball doesn’t give me accurate forecasts on what he will do in the future.

Hmmm, people like him for his charisma, but we keep getting more and more information on his crap policies and deicisions.

It certainly is awfully easy to look back at the past and point out everyone’s crap decisions, isn’t it?

Did the man serve time behind bars? Yes, 8 or 9 years or so, right? What are rapists regularly sentenced to serve today? Realistically, with “good behavior credits” and “time served” credits during a trial? Did DuMond himself profess his innocence? Yes.

Also, I wouldn’t read too much into Huckabee’s insistence that DuMond live outside Arkansas. More likely, as a victim of a vigilante crime, it was believed at the time that DuMond would face further abuse if he remained in Arkansas.

If Huckabee made his decision based in part on his faith, and in part on information provided to him which was incomplete or inaccurate, I’m willing to allow that it was, in hind-sight, a boneheaded decision. But, unlike many here, I’m also hoping that Huckabee is bright enough to have learned from said boneheaded decision, and that will make him a better person and a better leader overall.

I’d much rather have someone with “charisma” an an “R” behind his name than Shillary in the Oval Office, come mid-January 2009!
