Huckabee Suggests Obama Should Be Impeached Over Libya Incident

[DonViejo]

Fox News host and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) compared the administration’s handling of the consulate attack in Libya to Watergate, during an appearance on the network Friday morning, and hinted that the president should be impeached for not immediately attributing the violence to terrorism.

“We have been flat-out lied to,” Huckabee told Fox’s Bill Hemmer. “They know they lied. As if airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center said those were just accidents. Anybody with two eyes and an IQ above plant life knows what happened in Libya was not a spontaneous reaction to a 13 minute video on YouTube”:

HUCKABEE: It was a planned orchestrated attack led by terrorists, terrorists, Bill. And this White House has to explain why it hasn’t owned up to that. Why it can’t say it. I think frankly, if this issue really gets traction that it deserves, and let it say it deserves, go back. Richard Nixon was forced out of office because he lied. And because he covered some stuff up. I will be blunt and tell you this. Nobody died in Watergate. We have people who are dead because of this. There are questions to be answered and Americans ought to demand to get answers. [...]
HEMMER: Just one more thing here. What you’re describing, comparing events of today to Watergate.

HUCKABEE: I sure am….Bill, i’m not saying this just out of some political interest. I’m saying that our trust as a nation is built on our ability to know that when our president, whoever he is, Democrat or Republican, looks us in the eye and tells us something, we ought to know he is telling us the truth.

1. Hey Huckie, didn't George W. and Cheney tell some whoppers to the American people?

[Enrique]

2. "I'm not saying this just out of political interest"

most ridiculous claim in the world, no one believes that, anywhere, in any party.

That said, there looks like there might be something worth investigating, by someone with more credibility than Mike Huckabee.

3. Oh, wow...did the Huckster not get the memo??

His 15 minutes are up, in fact, they are long gone. He's now an official member of the same rethuglican scrap heap that Sarah Palin calls home. About the only media outlet that wants to give him facetime is Bullshit Mountain, which is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for the Huckster.

4. Oh go eat a squirrel, douchebag

IIRC the president did in fact state that the libyan embassy violence was an organized attack.

Outside the dumb fuck hillbilly world that hucklebuck inhabits, people actually take the time to find out what the facts are before they make inflammatory statements.

5. They would be laughable if they weren't so dangerous...

Cunning linguists who could care less about anything but fleecing the rubes that worship at their feet.

6. Ya know, there was a time a LOOONG time ago when I used to think Huckabee wasn't as batshit crazy...

...as the rest of the right wing nut jobs.

But again... that was a long time ago.

Eat shit Huckabee.

7. Bitter turd looks at Romney and thinks "Why not me?"

8. "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction" - 100,000 dead?

The Obama administration hasn't lied, they have relayed the facts as they are known. Has it been proven that

A. We KNEW ahead of time this attack was coming (no, unlike 9/11).
B. What difference does it make anyway? Nobody lied or covered up anything.

9. I just have one word for Mike Huckabee:

9/11/01

[yellowcanine]

10. Well Huckles, is it as bad as lying about WMDs to start a war?

I know you think that is impeachable, right?

[LiberalFighter]

11. He needs to explain why he is not circumcised.

Or did the doctor make a mistake and leave too much flap around the head?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. You just know that they're going to try this after Romney loses

If they can't win through voter suppression or diebold, impeachment as a matter of course for any Democratic Pres. has become the automatic M.O.
