Mike Huckabee Co-Author Accused of Child Molestation

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Source: Mediaite



The Christian writer who has co-authored books with presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore was allegedly excommunicated from his church after being accused of molesting a young girl.

John Perry co-wrote two books with Huckabee: Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That’s Bringing Common Sense Back to America (2008) and Character Is the Issue (2007). The latter title is especially interesting given that BuzzFeed News uncovered sworn statements from the writer’s ex-wife that he “admitted sexual abuse” of a female minor — a claim that was sustained by police but were found too old to prosecute.

More from the report:

“The alleged sexual battery was reported to have occurred when the victim was between the ages of 11 and 14,” said Nashville police department spokesperson Don Aaron in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

“As a result of the investigation, the allegations of sexual battery were sustained, but it was determined that the statute of limitations had tolled, barring prosecution. The victim was age 18 when she first disclosed the allegations to non-law enforcement and said at that time she did not want the matter reported to the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services or the police.”

Josh Duggar, Ted Nugent ... and now this guy.

What is it with Huckabee and pedophiles?

Just another example of the sick, depraved conservative lifestyle, which the scriptures tell us is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

1. All rightwingers are potential pedophiles, cheats, liars, hypocrites, criminals. Some are all of

the above, some only one.

[SoapBox]

2. And on and on and on...

It just doesn't seem to end with these ConservaTurd types.

[alboe]

3. Let's see how Mike defends this guy...

[asjr]

4. I don't know how he defends himself with that

smug look.

[procon]

5. Known by the company he keeps...

Or is it, birds flock together?

[notadmblnd]

6. This does nothing to quell my suspicions that this circle of "Christians" is nothing less than

a huge pedophile ring.

[jalan48]

7. Oh My!

It's getting closer to Huckabee. It was interesting how quickly he jumped to the defense of Josh Duggar.

[turbinetree]

8. If and a big if, he knew about this

he should be in the back of seat of the clown car with handcuffs sitting right nest to his buddy this author charged with conspiracy to withhold evidence of a crime, this is within the statute of limitations---------even if she wants to not do anything, the law is suppose to do otherwise.

[Liberalagogo]

9. And that's why it's called:

Guarding
Our
Pedophiles

or

Gang
Of
Perverts

[freshwest]

10. Messing with little girls is not 'an abomination in the eyes of the Lord' to these fundies.

To them it's 'Gawdswill.'

And this from a guy who wants to be president and said he wish he could have pretended to be TG to get into the girl's shower room.

Anything goes in the party of perverts, the GOP. Or maybe Grifting Odious Perverts fits.

You don't have to be religious to know that what they do is wrong. It's called empathy and seeing yourself walking in someone else's shoes.

Maybe they are all sociopaths.

[FlatBaroque]

11. What happened to Huckabee's son that led to his torturing small animals? n/t

[freshwest]

13. Nothing. And nothing was done about Hucklebee releasing a rapist who did work at his home, and

left to rape and kill a woman.

Huckabee: Politicization of rape victims' deaths 'heartbreaking'

# Convicted rapist paroled in 1999 while Huckabee was governor of Arkansas
# Convict later raped, killed a woman in Missouri after released from prison
# Murdered woman's mother says she will campaign against the presidential nominee
# Huckabee expressed support for parole, but denies pressuring parole board

Huckabee is a HUGE LIAR. He spit in the face of all those women, just to stick it to Bill Clinton.

Dec-06-07by Justitia

Dumond was also an already confessed killer. He had testified in court about how he had killed a man with a claw hammer (he was given immunity to testify against his 2 co-murderers).

Huckabee knew the man was a killer, but it was more important to stick it to Bill Clinton than to protect the next victims.

Huckabee is disgusting and vile.

Exclusive: Documents Expose Huckabee's Role In Murderer's Release

December 4, 2007 11:18 PM

Little Rock, Ark -- As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee aggressively pushed for the early release of a convicted rapist despite being warned by numerous women that the convict had sexually assaulted them or their family members, and would likely strike again. The convict went on to rape and murder at least one other woman.

Confidential Arkansas state government records, including letters from these women, obtained by the Huffington Post and revealed publicly for the first time, directly contradict the version of events now being put forward by Huckabee.

While on the campaign trail, Huckabee has claimed that he supported the 1999 release of Wayne Dumond because, at the time, he had no good reason to believe that the man represented a further threat to the public. Thanks to Huckabee's intervention, conducted in concert with a right-wing tabloid campaign on Dumond's behalf, Dumond was let out of prison 25 years before his sentence would have ended...

In a letter that has never before been made public, one of Dumond's victims warned: "I feel that if he is released it is only a matter of time before he commits another crime and fear that he will not leave a witness to testify against him the next time." Before Dumond was granted parole at Huckabee's urging, records show that Huckabee's office received a copy of this letter from Arkansas' parole board.

I'm sure googling will find more on Hucklebee's morals.

12. Huck associating with pedophiles...

Is it a coincidence or a pattern?

[Archae]

14. Now hold on one minute...

Even though this guy Perry and Josh Duggar has admitted to being pedophiles, we still have no evidence Huckabee or Moore knew about the abuse, much less participated in it.

Otherwise we'll be doing what happened with the "Satanic ritual abuse" hysteria during the 1980's, people went to jail for years for "crimes" that never happened.

Now if Moore and/or Huckabee covered up the abuse, they deserve to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.
Otherwise, we will end up looking like the right-wingers want to paint us as, hysterics willing to convict people on accusations.
(Like they do)

15. See post #13 above. n/t

20. Huckabee has energetically defended both Josh Duggar and his parents,

insisting that people are being so terribly unfair to squawk about the fact that Jim Bob and the church elders covered up Josh's crimes and made the girls feel that they were somehow to blame for their own victimization.

He should have kept his trap shut instead of jumping right in with such a full-throated defense of Josh and Jim Bob.

http://www.salon.com/2015/05/22/mike_huckabees_creepy_duggar_love_good_people_do_disgusting_things/

Janet and I want to affirm our support for the Duggar family. Josh’s actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, ‘inexcusable,’ but that doesn’t mean ‘unforgivable.’ He and his family dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities. No purpose whatsoever is served by those who are now trying to discredit Josh or his family by sensationalizing the story. Good people make mistakes and do regrettable and even disgusting things. The reason that the law protects disclosure of many actions on the part of a minor is that the society has traditionally understood something that today’s blood-thirsty media does not understand—that being a minor means that one’s judgement is not mature. No one needs to defend Josh’s actions as a teenager, but the fact that he confessed his sins to those he harmed, sought help, and has gone forward to live a responsible and circumspect life as an adult is testament to his family’s authenticity and humility.Those who have enjoyed revealing this long ago sins in order to discredit the Duggar family have actually revealed their own insensitive bloodthirst , for there was no consideration of the fact that the victims wanted this to be left in the past and ultimately a judge had the information on file destroyed—not to protect Josh, but the innocent victims. Janet and I love Jim Bob and Michelle and their entire family. They are no more perfect a family than any family, but their Christian witness is not marred in our eyes because following Christ is not a declaration of our perfection, but of HIS perfection. It is precisely because we are all sinners that we need His grace and His forgiveness. We have been blessed to receive God’s love and we would do no less than to extend our love and support for our friends. In fact, it is such times as this, when real friends show up and stand up. Today, Janet and I want to show up and stand up for our friends. Let others run from them. We will run to them with our support <emphasis added>.

And then later:

http://www.salon.com/2015/06/09/mike_huckabee_doubles_down_on_his_duggar_defense_we_all_deal_with_crises/

After rushing to defend longtime supporter Josh Duggar in the wake of confirmed child sexual abuse allegations, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee stood by the family in an appearance on “The Kelly File” on Monday, telling host Megyn Kelly that he does not believe he went too far in defending the Duggars’ “authenticity and humility.”

“In every family, we all deal with crises,” Huckabee said. “We deal with issues.”

The former Fox News host also criticized the media for creating a spectacle of the abuse (which it has, but that doesn’t mean the case shouldn’t have been covered), and took particular issue with what he characterized as the unlawful release of a police report detailing abuse within the “19 Kids & Counting” clan. Additionally, Huckabee claimed reporters on the scandal are merely attempting to “destroy” the Duggar family.

16. Has another week past? Boy, time sure flies by.

Instead of using days to measure weeks, I've started measuring them in "right-wing sex crimes"

[glinda]

17. Really beginning to appear that the "hate" for women

exhibited by many of these people seems to also have some horribly sad ties to other "private issues" at this point. I am aghast at this point....sigh....awful

[Novara]

18. He sure likes to hang around perverts, doesn't he?

[tblue37]

19. Something with lying down with dogs and rising up with fleas? Or

Proverbs 13:20

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

And then there's the old saying that you are known by the company you keep.
