Anti-war mob occupies Huckabee’s Iowa office
No rest for the anti-war crowd: Some moonbats showed up to protest at Mike Huckabee’s Iowa campaign office. The far Lefties at After Downing Street report:
With 40 percent of Iowa’s Republican caucus voters expected to come from the ranks of conservative Christians, peace activists occupied Mike Huckabee’s campaign headquarters in Iowa’s capital city today with signs asking the former Baptist minister, “Who Would Jesus Bomb?”
Eight members of the Iowa Occupation Project and Voices for Creative Nonviolence arrived at Huckabee’s Locust St. campaign office early Monday afternoon, waiting for the former Arkansas governor’s reply to a letter delivered two months ago that sought his pledge to completely withdraw from Iraq within 100 days of assuming office; halt all military actions against Iraq and Iran; fund the rebuilding of Iraq as well as health, education and infrastructure needs in the U.S.; and “…the highest quality health care, education and jobs training benefits for veterans of our country’s Armed Services.”
Brian Terrell, director of the Catholic Peace Ministry in Des Moines, said approximately 35 reporters, including a number of international journalists, were at Huckabee’s office during the protest.
Terrell said in addition to the “Who Would Jesus Bomb?” banner, the eight protesters held signs that read, “End Iraq War” and “No War with Iran,” sang the refrain from “Auld Lang Syne,” chanted ‘Who Would Jesus Bomb?’ and then read names of Iraqis and U.S. soldiers killed in the war.
Three of the protesters were arrested.
Too bad they didn’t show up at HuckedUp’s press conference earlier today. They could have helped distract from the campaign’s disaster. Video now up via Iowa Politics…

HMMMM … 8 protestors and 35 reporters … what’s wrong with this picture? … sounds like a bunch of reporters got disappointed to me …
35 reporters to cover 8 protesters? I can not believe the Media decided to cover these protesters and it shows again the agenda they are pushing with their reporting.
As long as the “Mob” is protesting one of the lame stream media’s pet issues, it doesn’t matter is 1 or 10 show up. It’s the little guy against the establishment that they love regardless if it’s laced with sedition.
The media never creates the news … noooo, no way, never happens. Thirty-five reporters, 8 dim bulbs and the actual news story is that there were 35 news reporters.
Such a nicer term than war protestor. What a bunch of bunk!
Nothing like being out numbered by the press by 3-to-1 as you show the world what a bunch of uninformed asshats you are. Sounds like much ado about nothing. Who the heck anointed these people to make US policy anyways because they sure as heck were not elected or appointed by the President to establish and enforce them? The Huckster showed his foreign affairs capabilities when Bhutto was assassinated, which dovetails real well with his failure of a track record as Governor of Arkansas. A RINO by any other name will never get my vote.
Me thinks those “peace activists” did not have far to walk to get to Huckabee’s offices:
So what were they arrested for? or being peaceful? Non-violent? Why is it, that these “anti-war” people, these people that detest war sooooo much, are always throwing rocks, threatening people, saying they want Bush and Cheney dead and such. My, my, my…such violence from such peacful people.
Then there is this other question…just how many Christians do you guys think were actually holding up those signs that asked, “Who would Jesus bomb?” Do any of you think that any of those people were actually practicing Christians of any denomination?
My money is that they were nothing more than hypocritical Atheistic Liberals trying to be cute with their attempts to throw what they think Jesus is back at who they think Christians are and what they believe the Bible teaches. I see this all the time when I see that bimber sticker on some broken down hippiemobile that is spewing all sorts of black smoke out the back right next to the “Hug Your Mother Earth” bumper sticker and “Bush Isn’t My President”.
But then, we have already had this discussion and talked it to death. The Atheists and Agnostics, who don’t have a primary school knowledge of what the Bible says on the matter or what Jesus taught on the subject refuse to listen when we tell them and will just keep talking in circular logic fashion, so it is pointless, and I would imagine it would be similar in fashion there, only more so, under bigger numbers.
How about calling them what they are.
Freaks.
If they occupied an office uninvited, they should be arrested for trespassing, be processed, prosecuted and given the appropriate consequence. Otherwise, we are going down the road of anarchy, again, like the communists and hippies did during the 1960s.
Now if Huckabee’s guys had used a high-powered hose to wash the dirty hippies out of their office, I might’ve climbed on the Huck Bus.
“peace activist” is an oxymoron.
And “dirty hippies” is a redundancy!
Because they aren’t peaceful people at all…they just think the military is killing the wrong people. Don’t kill terrorists, no…they want Bush and Cheney dead. Marvelous hypocrites who as you said, don’t have a clue about Jesus and what he stood for at all.
I didn’t hear if the ‘Enough is Enough’ theme on the banner was part of his decision to NOT air the ad.
If so, was this banner produced on a one hour notice, as Huck said that he changed his mind just an hour or so before the press conference.
Was his campaign manager clairvoyant??
They left out:
hanging the moon and stars;
ensuring the American dream;
two chickens in every pot;
yada, yada, yada……….
If Clinton couldn’t give them everything they wanted, what makes them think the Huck could?
I think they’ve been smoking the wrong stuff in their peace pipes!
#7 Retfireman:
My bad attitude toward those so-called peace activists is that they should all attempt the anatomically impossible and then too should the cavalry behind them and the horses they rode in on…with apologies to Raging Bull.
Btw, I really don’t see the logic as to why the law wants to pass on prosecuting that shyster lawyer who vandalized the soldier’s car. I could see his property being destroyed as revenge because I wonder how he would enjoy payback? I did send him a vile e-mail tirade.
Have a most serendipitous 2008 all.
Jobless, lazy people? Remember, the only reason they can protest on a weekday is because they DON’T WORK for a living.
Putting Jesus aside for a moment what is God’s greatest gift to mankind?
The answer is FREE CHOICE the choice to believe in him or not, the choice to choose your destiny in life, the choice to live free from oppression. Does God love war? No, but he understand’s the need for war he understand’s this why? Jesus, God walked the earth and taught man many lesson’s of why man continually corrupted himself and how to deal with those that wanted to corrupt mankind. What other choice is given to those whom fight for what God himself want’s for man, he uses good men to do his bidding against the oppresser’s of mankind. I’ll answer those who would ask such a question of “Who would Jesus bomb?” Those who would stand in the way of good, Those who would undermine his plan for mankind, Those who are hypocrites, heritics and those who use his name for selfish purposes, let God rain his wrath on you that would us the name of Jesus for your political gain and selfish purpose, blasphemer’s who would’nt know him if he walked up to them proved that he was who he said, these are the people Jesus would bomb. When God see’s injustice in the world does he not stand behind those who fight against it, the wrath of God will be apparent when they die and stand in front of the master and their names do not appear in the book of life and find out that they where dead to him in the first place.
’cause I would NEVER insult freaks - I are one!
I can vouch for that…. lol
Probably close to the mark. Unhappy “non-believers” who mock His name.
The real disgrace is that the Iowa Caucus republicans are so pathetic.
I have defended them against charges that they are knuckle dragging, bible thumpers. I have always treated them with respect. However, if they are so obsessed with one issue, abortion, that they will support a man who is not conservative on any other issue, Mike Huckabee, then they are over the cliff of sanity.
Islamofacists want to kill us. THAT is the issue of our lifetime. Giuliani, McCain, Romney, and Thompson all talk about that. Huckabee does not.
Huckabee is not conservative on economic issues either.
I am not saying abortion is completely irrelevant, but we are not electing a pope. Since Pat Robertson (not to mention Reagan losing), Iowa has proved it is worthless.
The people who are so obsessed about the unborn need to start caring about those that are alive today. If 9/11, Bali, London, Madrid, and now Pakistan, do not clue them in, then they should lose their first in the nation privileges.
Mike Huckabee is a good, decent man. He is not a conservative. On taxes and terrorists, the other four are.
Respectfully,
eric aka the Tygrrrr Express
Maybe it was the Shotgun that set them off?
Just watched the presser video. Awww… poor Mike. I’m sorry, but I’m really tired of Huckabee’s polished folksiness and feigned innocence whenever he says something that doesn’t play well in the media. I’m not a fan, and it has just happened too many times, so please excuse the mini-rant…
Romney runs ads that characterize Huckabee’s record as governor in a way that Mike apparently doesn’t like, and instead of rebutting and refuting the characterization, Huckabee responds by playing the victim card. First the Jesus card, now the victim card.
Victim? Yes, he says he’s getting “attacked” with “negative” ads quoting his record, he even takes the liberty of dragging John McCain into the fray. Romney is highlighting the least-inflammatory of the issues with Huckabee’s record (taxes, crime, immigration) and leaving alone the ethics issue, which would have the shortest path to questions about character, and could constitute an actual personal attack.
On the other hand, Mr. Positive has no compunction whatsoever about casting Romney as dishonest. But I’m sure that if someone calls him on that, he’ll “clarify” his comment somehow.
/Rant off…
They ask who would Jesus Bomb
Noah to protesters
How long can you tread water?
Literally, they are those who aid, abet and give comfort to the enemy, i.e. traitors.
WWJA
Who Would Jesus Abort?
I am copyrighting that
That is the response to the smart butt Liberals who pose the question of “Who Would Jesus Bomb”. As you can see, two can play the game, and as you can see, our question actually makes sense and is more apropo. It actually does deal with Jesus’ teachings.
The response of “who would jesus abort” is only the beginning, considering what kinds of politicians and lifestyles they catively support and promote.the fact that we are in the middle east to stop the murderof innocent people - being cry-babies themselves they obviously identify with the petulance of the terrorists, even when the petulance is rendered in the form of murder.
Maybe they would want to open their Bibles (like any of the guys who highjacked Huckabee’s office are likely to own one) and turn to Ephesians 4;29 “Let no corrupt commuication proceed from your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto hearers.”
Ultimately, knowing some iof the digraceful lifestyles and politicians these people support, using the Lord’s name to force their Pagen-government philosophies upon the world ios beneath cotempt, and they should immediately be called out on it.
Apologies for the typos; hit submit instead of preview.
“Who would Jesus bomb?” A stupid question made up of stupid rhetoric.
But on the other hand, maybe these peace-niks should take a look at some of the judgments in the Old Testament, such as Nineveh and Jericho, Sodom and Gomorrah, judgments on Isarel, Egypt and Ethopia. And didnt Jesus say in Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 there is a time for peace and a time for war, a time to heal and a time to kill?
But I guess it all boils down to who these people say Jesus is. My guess is they know the name but that’s about it.
Jesus would b****slap anyone using the phrase ‘Who would Jesus bomb”. Recall his reaction to those people who sold their agenda and trinkets in his Father’s house.
peace protestors.
During the Clinton Impeachment, I attended a pro-impeachment rally in the District of Columbia. There were a few thousand people in attendance from many parts of the country. About a block away from this rally, there were about 10 anti-impeachment protesters. Guess who the media was covering?
One other point. Jesus did not expect people to commit suicide. He gave his life for the absolution of our sins under the condition that we believe in him. It ought to be pretty obvious that Jesus preferred peace if it were possible, but he was not adverse to violence when it was important.
I like the “who would Jesus abort as a retort because it distinguishes innocence from evil.
*Yawn*
Slow news day.
As already observed, the 3:1 ratio of newsbeats to deadbeats is the bigger story, and speaks volumes about how pathetic things really are.
8 protesters, 30 reporters, 100 conservative bloggers, no harm done. Any thoughts about the arsonists visiting abortion clinics and threatening to murder the staff?
Any thoughts about those calling for the murder of President Bush and Vice President Cheney?
Oh look…typicl Lib tactic of changing the subject completely off of their idiocy and misdeeds, spinning it around and contributing nothing to the conversation for they are incapable of defending their indefensible stanse. Instead, he attempys to spin it away by bringing up a truly non-story of an uber-minority fringe that is obviously ostricized by everyone on the Right, that in no way is representative of Conservatives or the Conservative movement and has absolutely nothing ay all to do with anything we are talking about, because he knows that comparing the two means he has to admit that one is fringe and the other IS representative of the Liberals and everything they do, say, and represent.
You are a fool, and it didn’t work troll boy.
Now, back to the subject which you refuse to adress because you DO believe in it, support it, identify with it etc., unllike us, who do not support what you presented spin master…
The only Jesus these morons are aware of, is the “Surfer Jesus”. He’s the one depicted in pictures always staring off into space, long wavy brown hair blowing in the breeze, looking like he just did a bong hit. They are only aware of certain teachings which they either remember from when they were in kindergarten and the Sunday School teacher would tell some cute story, or something they have heard that has been over used a million times out of context. They know the myth of Jesus being a man of peace, yet completely reject the religion behind Him, reject the Trinity, reject the whole Son of God, rject God period.
Maybe the use of theological quandries would men more, would actually have an effect on people of faith, if they came from both other people of faith AND people that did not defend an opposing alleged religion that has sworn to, and has been slaughtering members of their religion. MAYBE these religious questions would carry more weight if the people asking them didn’t spend the rest of their time mocking and making the practice of Chritianity such a nightmare and battle in this country and indeed, the very nature of these quesions alone slap people in their face by mocking the moral crusade for teenagers which asks them to think before doing anything stupid like having pre-marital sex at 15 or stealing to think “What Would Jesus Do”
So you see, even the very nature of it slaps Christians in their face. You wouldn’t see these hypocrites asking “What Would Mohammed Do” now would you? Of course not. That would offend their favorite murderous scumbags.
Actually, the ratio is nearly 5-to-one.
Like I care.
Personally, I can’t wait to have a smelly protester spit on me. My liberal mandated, pre-proscribed PTSD is gonna kick in all over their dirty selves….
…not my fault.
I think the injection of “religion” into the political scene is a disgrace. First we have the Anti-America hate crowd using someone for whom they have absolutely no regard (Jesus) into a political circus.
Then we have the rabid fundamentalists mouthing off about it as if what Jesus would or would not do has any impact on the pending electoral disaster of 2008.
So in this case, both sides are both hypocritical and wrong. The USA is NOT a Christian nation and therefore, anything blatantly religious in politics is completely irrelevant.
Beg to differ … over 80% of the Americans refer to themselves as Christian when asked about their beliefs. However, …”anything blatantly religious in politics is completely
irrevelevant” inappropriate. Now that I completely agree with.Personally, when I heard Huckabee say that God wanted him to be president…
well, that did it for me, even before I found out where he really stood. I talked
with my niece that lives in Arkansas and she said that just as she would not vote
for Slick, she would not vote for Huckabee. Then she regaled me for over an hour with her reasons to vote for anyone but Huckabee.
Our founding fathers would not only disagree, but would have had no idea how able men could be steered from the corruption of office without it. Swearing an oath on the Bible, ensuring that the spectre of an invoved and present God - these were the things that partially motivated them and things they wanted to ensure all men were mindful of to ensure honesty and motivations that were borne of a sense of the common good. Take God out of the political arena, and you strip a society of both it’s soul and it’s higher conscience. Our founding fathers knew that. The character of mankind has barely changed an ounce in all of the 10,000 years of recorded history. The world still has power-seekers, haters, liars, thieves and alturistic saints. It has philosophers and clowns, men of war and men of peace. Do we assume that having plasma TVs, ipods and the internet has substantially changed the basic natures of men? Of course not. Anyone who believes that God should be taken out of the political arena pits their wisdom against that of the founding fathers. Fair enough then, but let them prove it. Let then prove it as our forefathers did, not with hypothetical talk but with deed. And then we shall see. In the meantime, until someone can prove otherwise, we should continue to govern and choose those who govern with God very much in the forefront of our thoughts and discussions. Unless someone knows better than our founding fathers, of course. But let them prove it before they say they do.
Re the “protestors”, I think a quote from Lee Harris’s Al Qaeda’s Fantasy Ideology is relevant:
I dare say our current crop of “activists” are cut from the same cloth. Throw in some serious psychological denial and displacement, and you have a pretty good profile of the way they “think”.
Blind_Mule,
You have stated an interesting premise. That God’s greatest gift is free agency. It is, of course, but it is not well understood by the general run of humanity.
Thanks for giving it voice.
Who would Jesus bomb? Jesus probably would ask the protesters what they were doing about repenting of their sins. Jesus came to be everyone’es redeemer of sin and apparently the protesters don’t know much about the gospel. Jesus also did say that wars and rumors of wars would increase as we see the last days approach. Another example that the protesters are ignorant on the new testament. They probably are on the old testament as well.
