Rush's Hit-Piece on Huckabee

[igo]

The Christian right (and other fed up conservatives) are supporting
Mike Huckabee, but the right’s pundits are not flocking to support
him, and many of them are actually trying to derail him. Case in point:

Rush's Hit-Piece on Huckabee (stick with it, audio of Rush)


Something is very very very very wrong with this picture. Bottom
line: The best candidate for the Republican nomination is Huckabee.

I have copied n pasted this message into dozens of Huckabee blogs
and the "Rush's Hit-Piece on Huckabee" video went from 303 views
to 1,170 in less than 4 days. If you support Huck spread the above
message around. The inexplicable anti-Huckabee sentiment in the elite
wing of the Republican Party is ruining the GOP mainstream chance of
getting a President who will deal their needs and not only Wall Streets
and the Insiders.

I don't see how it's a hit piece.  Rush is saying that the MSM sees another George W. Bush in Huckabee, being that both are open about their religion.

I actually heard Rush do this piece on his show and I did not take it as a hatchet job when I heard it. I think Rush is in the same boat as we all are in. We are looking for the best man for the job but the pickens are slim. The entire Republican base is doing the same thing  thats why Huckabee has surged and  the polls keep shifting. I honestly don't believe the party has a favorite this time around. They are just hoping they get the right guy that well be able to win in the general election.

Hi.

I hope you are doing well.

No offense, but I couldn't DISAGREE with you more.

That was DEFINITELY a hit-piece on Huckabee. There is
absolutely no doubt about it. Didn’t you notice all of this
started because an "anonymous Huckabee ally" criticized
Rush to a writer at the National Review?

Hmmm.

Interesting.

Newsflash: Some guy who nobody knows attacks Rush
on behalf of Huckabee?! What kind of idiot would take
on Rush and think he would be served well? Not Mike.
In my opinion, this was a setup by the Republican elite
to make Huck look bad.

And to defend this was a setup look around, Rush isn't the
only neocon trying to sabotage Huck's run for Presidency.
Michelle Malkin, Anne Coulter, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham,
Mark Levin, pundits like Robert Novak and Peggy Noonan, all
trying to derail the Huckster - and very deceitfully I might add.

Listen to me carefully. What we see happening right now is the
common people, in the person of Huckabee, are threatening to
take over, and the secular right doesn't like it a bit.

It's sad because I've always liked Malkin, Coulter, Ingraham, etc,
but their "Talking Points" propaganda warfare used against a fellow
conservative who could very well be more of a conservative than
they are provides a good look at their true colors. The problem is
that their attacks are ruining the GOP mainstream chance of getting
a President who will deal their needs and not only Wall Streets and
the Insiders.

As I said, the Christian right (and other FED UP smart people ) are
supporting Mike Huckabee, but the Republican elites are not and are
attacking him BIG TIME! Sorry. It's just silly to debate this. If you don't
think this is taking place you don't understand the facts. No offence.

I couldn't care less what Rush Limbaugh Or Hannity say anyways so this is irrelevant to me. Rush Limbaugh just worships Wahabi Bush and his shvartza secretary of state so how does he have any credibility. I know Chaim hates Michael Savage but he is the only one with any credibility at all for the simple reason that he doesn't worship the republican party. While I don't love Huckabee, I would vote for him over Romney or Mccain but I would go with Giulianni over him.

You make some interesting points here. I listen to Rush now and then so when I heard him talking about Huckabee the other day he sounded sincere. If what you are saying is so then it makes a big difference. I could see Rush becoming defensive but the radio segment really didn't seem that bad. I will be honest I really have no clear favorite in this group running they all have issues I don't agree with in their platforms. I think all the conservative talking heads are in the same boat they want to back the favorite but they can't get a handle on who its going to be. Huckabee seems like a man of the people however his positions on immigration and a few other things leave a  bad taste in my mouth. Not that the other front runners are any better but it would be great if one of them were. I could see Huck being popular with the Christian base in the Iowa polls because of his clergy past but does he have the ability to carry the rest of the country in a general election. Huck has one or two things going for him that the others don't and thats what in the end may cause people to go in his favor. Needless to say with any of the front runners the picture is not good. It has become for conservatives a anything but Obama or Hillery election.

Just because he doesn't support the same candidate as you doesn't automatically qualify what he says as a "hit piece."

Some polls are showing McCain as having the best chance in the general election.  Apparently, he has the highest favorable rating among GOP candidates and is beating Hillary in some polls.

Rush's fan base probably consists of the people who post at the FreeRepublic Forum.  They can't stand Huckabee. 


Ingraham, Malkin and Coulter are all proven conservatives and they have credibility.  On the other hand, you have been UNABLE to argue how Huckabee is a conservative. 

Those three don't want to settle for the "less of the evils."  During the primaries, they are most likely supporting the candidate who they like the best.  I would almost guarantee that the candidate is Duncan Hunter.  Do not respond to this post with crap like "He has no chance."

As I said, I've always liked Ingraham, Malkin and Coulter. I have
Coulter's book, "Godless". This one of the first times I have
disagreed with them on an issue. The truth is these elites are
attacking Huck. They are ruining the GOP mainstream chance
of getting a President who will deal with their needs and not
only Wall Streets and the Insiders.

For example, I wonder why Coulter is attacking a fellow Christian
(probably the most genuine one running) instead of applauding
Huckabee for being the first candidate to lift up his hand when
asked during one of the debates to "raise your hand if you don't
believe in evolution". Huckabee was one of only three who had
the courage. Mitt Romney didn't. Pro-abortionist Giuliani didn't.
McCain, didn't. Fred Thompson kept his hand down. Etcetera.

Not a word from Coulter on this except to attack Huckabee.

I also wondered why Coulter didn't applaud Mike for his awesome
Christmas ad? Who else had the guts to speak about the birth of
Christ on Christmas!

No word from Coulter on this except to call Huckabee a "stupid
Christian".

More, if you can stomach it:

She has the NERVE to attack Huckabee on Christianity, but says
nothing about the fake one Mitt Romney. As a Christian myself, I
am sick and tired of the Mormons telling everyone that they are
Christians, because they are not Christians! They want everyone
to think they are, but Mormons believe all kinds of strange things.
If they wanna be Mormons, go ahead be a Mormon. But, STOP
trying to hijack the Christian faith! This is offensive. Huckabee
should have stuck to his guns and demanded a comprehensive
answer to the question, "Do Mormons believe Jesus and Satan
were brothers?" WHY?? Because the official website of the Mormon
church explicitly makes the sibling connection between Jesus and
Lucifer a matter of official Mormon doctrine!:

It should be interesting if in the end Anne Coulter supports Romney
now that her candidate Duncan Hunter will soon be out of the race.

And keep in mind, I've always liked Coulter! But, she's gone mad
on this one.

As Chaim Ben Pesach commented in one of his videos on Huckabee,
Mike is a firm supporter of Israel.

Mike Huckabee: Israel


Furthermore, he currently has a strong position on illegal immigration.
He will build a FENCE. Huckabee is against amnesty!

Huck also wants the nation to be energy independent within 10 years.
Like Kennedy setting a goal to land on the moon in the 60’s in less than
10 years.

He is against same sex marriages. In 1992 Huckabee said, "that
homosexuality was an "aberrant, unnatural and sinful lifestyle"
that posed "a dangerous public health risk." Huckabee is waiting
for Moses to okay gays. He said in a 2006 speech, "Until Moses
comes down with two stone tablets from Brokeback Mountain
saying he's changed the rules, let's keep it like it is," he said.

Those three pundits don't want to settle for the "less of the evils??"
Well, Duncan Hunter will be toast soon, so the only other options
they have are a Giuliani who is pro-abortion and for gay marriage,
then the Mormon (ie, fake Christian), Ron Paul (blames America for
everything - does not support Israel) Thompson, who when he
speaks America feels like taking a nap, and finally McCain who is
a career politician who doesn't care a bit about YOU. Those are
the lesser evils? Ahem, okaaaaaay.
