Republican Abomination--Mike Huckabee--the Lying Pastor

This is it in my "Republican Abomination" series.  I have to stop at 10 because I could continue to add onto this topic--actually, I may set up another blog just for this topic.  But, I may not blog on it too much because their lies and hypocrisy is overwhelming.  What is also overwhelming is how rightwing or conservative alleged "Christians" love these lies.

Mike Huckabee was a "Christian" Pastor for a few churches.  I am not sure what kind of pastor he was at that point in time.  He may have been good or bad.  I would suspect he wasn't bad because he did encourage an all-white Baptist Church to accept Black members--from Wikipedia--

The Wikipedia doesn't say whether the church agreed or how hard Huckabee pushed.  But, today is today and Huckabee has been consistently lying about President Obama.  So, we allegedly have someone who promoted the inclusion of Blacks into White churches while today consistently lying about our Black President.  Hmm...makes you wonder.

Huckabee lies that the Obama's tithe only 1% of their income when it is actually 14.2% of adjusted gross income.  Meanwhile, Huckabee won't release tax his tax returns.  I think that Huckabee is "casting a stone" here.  First off lying about the Obama's, secondly not showing what he is tithing.

During the debate about healthcare in America, Huckabee lied about "Death Panels'--

Huckabee criticized Natalie Portman (movie star) about having a child out of wedlock because it is "glamorous".  This is odd because Huckabee would be the first one screaming that Portman and women in general should not be allowed to get an abortion.  You can't have it both ways, Huck.  Plus, who in their right mind believes it is "glamorous" to have out of wedlock children?  I think women value life more than the rightwing Republican men give them credit for.  Single women don't have abortions because they choose life.

The Washington Post fact checks some of Huckabee's lies at the RNC convention--\

I was surprised that the Post didn't take up Huckabee's lie that Obama supports "infanticide".  I don't recall Obama trying to kill babies, do you?  Think Progress takes up this Huckabee lie--

Lastly, Huckabee is a staunch support of Todd Akin's lie about "legitimate rape" and  that women who are truly raped typically self-abort.  There is no scientific evidence of this being true.  Yet, Huckabee backs Akin as can be seen here--

So, this is the guy who passes himself off as a big "Republican Christian".  All I can say is God help them all and us, too!
