Huckabee blames school shooting on "removing God from schools"

[ehrnst]

"Mike Huckabee told Fox News that today's deadly massacre in an elementary school in Connecticut was due to the lack religion in public schools.

Said Huckabee: "We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we've systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage because we've made it a palce where we don't want to talk about eternity, life, what responsibility means, accountability?"


Yeah, Mike, that totally explains the Amish school massacre, doesn't it? Your "God" is a total dick, the way you describe him.

1. What a fucking asshole he is. nt

[kelliekat44]

30. But I thought God could be anywhere he wanted to be anytime he wants to be?

[GeorgeGist]

2. What a wimp!

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. One of his gun-toting fuckwads would've off'd God, too.

Go to hell, Huckabee.

[DollarBillHines]

4. They are revving this meme.

Some asshat was on a radio show saying what Fuckabee said. "Why would God go where He is not wanted?"

Expect to hear more of this drivel in days to come.

21. Hey, they have to tow the NRA line - which now seems to be:

Guns don't kill kids in horrific school massacres, not having the 10 commandments on the wall, and prayer every morning in schools kills kids.

[d_b]

5. if only god had been there

[2on2u]

6. And the returning vets who have beaten or killed their wives and families who may or may not

have been rabid churchgoers.... WTF does he blame that on? Oh, yeah, they took God out of the military.

[hrmjustin]

7. Instead of getting his stomach stapled he should have gotten his mouth stapled.

[Care Acutely]

12. Why? He talks out of his ass anyway.

Wrong orifice.

[part man all 86]

18. yes but his ass is between his ears.

[Care Acutely]

32. mmmmm translocation. Hadn't thought of that.

[DirkGently]

8. I am really tired of stupid old men telling us they speak for "God."

[Mariana]

13. Unfortunately, there are a lot of stupid people

who believe them.

[DirkGently]

20. Do people not see that the Huckabees of the world are claiming to BE "God?"

It's the oldest trick in the book.

"Hold on -- let me go in this back room and converse with the divine. He's a good guy -- lot like me, in fact -- but he's shy. Only talks to flabby ignorants obsessed with people's sex lives. Oh, and he needs money / blood / virgins. Probably what the spaceship runs on. Be right back."

[Mariana]

28. Did you see the vid of the AFA jackass, Bryan Fischer,

who said the same thing as Huckabee earlier today? I thought I would puke when I watched it. The man was positively gloating. I'm convinced he long ago had his little speech written and ready to go, just waiting for a bad school massacre to happen so he could use the occasion to push his agenda of making children pray at school.

I'd like to believe a lot of people will be put off by this bullshit. Probably won't happen, though.

Sigh.

Here's the Fischer vid, if you haven't seen it:

34. Ugh. I've seen this guy. No surprise he'd obscenely piggyback

his garbage on a tragedy like this. And yeah, it's one-size-fits-all. Fear me /pay me, or the crops will fail and the children will suffer. So transparently disingenuous and self-aggrandizing.

Grotesque.

[byeya]

9. Typical Fundy bibblejock who should seek residence on another planet

[Arugula Latte]

10. So if he believes in an omnipotent deity

he's worshipping a vengeful murderous asshole of a god who would allow or cause children to be slaughtered out of spite.

Nice.

[ehrnst]

24. anything but blame the NRA base... (nt)

[mercuryblues]

11. no huckabee

I BLAME it on you.

I don’t know anyone in America who is a more effective communicator [than David Barton.] I just wish that every single young person in America would be able to be under his tutelage and understand something about who we really are as a nation. I almost wish that there would be something like a simultaneous telecast and all Americans would be forced, forced — at gun point no less — to listen to every David Barton message. And I think our country would be better for it. I wish it’d happen.

14. Can't wait for our new state supreme court chief justice to weigh in on this.

Roy "10 Commandments" Moore.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Like we needed more proof he's a Fundamentalist idiot?

He's the second one of those "religious" wackos I've seen saying this today. It must be the official meme they're trying to push.

[frogmarch]

16. F Huckabee and

the god he rode in on.

[Locrian]

17. tweet

[JHB]

23. +1

[ehrnst]

25. Yes!

[part man all 86]

19. I love baal worshippers because their deity is as fake as they are.

[JHB]

22. Just think: Huckster was the Republican primary runner-up in 2008

2008 Rethug primary wins by county: Huckabee is the dark blue:

[Angry Dragon]

26. Who the hell would want to believe in such a mean and vengeful god??

[JHB]

27. The "believe" part is irrelevant. It's the "voluntarily worship him" part...

...that makes less sense. Or more sense, when you consider the person in question.

It's one thing to have to deal with a powerful being with all the petty cruelty of the nastiest sort of king of tribal desert dwellers. It's another thing to think he's always stupendously awesome, and any problem you have is due to slacking off in thinking about how stupendously awesome he is.

When that's your idea of a supreme being, you're wiring is scrambled.

[Mariana]

29. Well, you don't just start disbelieving in God

because you figure out that he's mean and vengeful. For most people, belief or lack of it isn't a matter of choice. And, most believers in this country believe there's only one god. So you're kind of stuck with this one, if you're a believer.

You could, however, believe in him and decide he isn't worthy of your worship. Some people have made that choice.



*I'm using YOU in the general sense here, I don't mean you personally, Angry Dragon.

[Angry Dragon]

33. No problem, I did not take your post as an attack

The way you stated it, it sounds like having an abusive father.
I love you child but if you misbehave I will hurt you.



I know there are many gods

[Initech]

31. Their god is an egotistical jackass.

[deutsey]

35. Huckabee's God is supposedly all powerful, all knowing, and everywhere...

and yet because He's been "removed from our schools" He gets all pissy and refuses to save the lives of innocent people (most of them children) slaughtered by someone who apparently had a personality disorder?

Some God you got there, dipshit.
