TPM: Huckabee Directly Equates Homosexuality with Bestiality
Huckabee Directly Equates Homosexuality With Bestiality
By Greg Sargent - January 17, 2008, 12:00PM

At some point you'd think Mike Huckabee's views would be seen as so controversial that there's no way he could possibly be a contender for the nomination of one of America's two main political parties.

Especially now. In an interview with Beliefnet.com, a religion Web site, Huck has just clarified his view that the Constitution should be amended to be brought in line with God's will -- and he directly equated homosexuality with bestiality.

Huck, in elaborating on his views that the Constitution should be subjected to Biblical standards, had just wrapped up a discussion of the fact that marriage has meant "a man and a woman in a relationship for life." With this context firmly established, this exchange followed:

QUESTIONER: Is it your goal to bring the Constitution into strict conformity with the Bible? Some people would consider that a kind of dangerous undertaking, particularly given the variety of biblical interpretations.

HUCKABEE: Well, I don’t think that’s a radical view to say we’re going to affirm marriage. I think the radical view is to say that we’re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again. I think the radical position is to make a change in what’s been historic.

That's pretty clear cut. Changing the definition of marriage so it can mean "two men" or "two women" is equivalent to changing it to mean "a man and an animal." No ambiguity here whatsoever.

1. this quote on TPM made me laugh out loud
"So it's ok to slather a squirrel in oil and fry it on a popcorn popper, but not to marry and have sex with it? That hardly seems fair."

That was one readers comment in response to Mike Huckabee's new statement equating gay marriage and bestiality.

2. Who did this fuck hire as his speech writer? Rick Santorum
Look what kind of sick fuck includes things where one partner can not legally provide consent into the relationship. These sick fucks try to link homosexuality to things like Beastialty or even worst Pedophilia because these things absolutely disgust us. But here's the thing they never ever mention. A child or an animal cannot provide legal consent to the relationship. An animal cannot speak and a child cannot legally make these decisions until legal age.

But yet we see sick fucks like Huckabee, Santorum and others link them all together for the shock value.

4. Huckabee is a dead heat for SC, and he's obviously appealing to the voters' most base instincts
