Huckabee: Kennedy Would Have Been Urged To Die Earlier Under ObamaCare

[RamboLiberal]

Conservative media figures are blasting Democrats for trying to draw political gain from the death of Senator Ted Kennedy. But on Thursday, it was one of their own -- former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee -- who went there.

The 2008 Republican presidential candidate suggested during his radio show on Thursday that, under President Obama's health care plan, Kennedy would have been told to "go home to take pain pills and die" during his last year of life.

"It was President Obama himself who suggested that seniors who don't have as long to live might want to just consider taking a pain pill instead of getting an expensive operation to cure them," said Huckabee. "Yet when Sen. Kennedy was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at 77, did he give up on life and go home to take pain pills and die? Of course not. He freely did what most of us would do. He choose an expensive operation and painful follow up treatments. He saw his work as vitally important and so he fought for every minute he could stay on this earth doing it. He would be a very fortunate man if his heroic last few months were what future generations remember him most for."

As it happens, Huckabee made his remarks shortly after he derided Democrats for using Kennedy's death to make the pitch that "Congress must hurry and pass the health care reform bill and do it in his memory,"

"That not only defies good taste," said Huckabee, "it defies logic."

1. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor!

Come on, Huckabee! It's one of the top ten!

Karmic retribution will be fierce, if not swift.

12. LOL - very well said.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Amen!

[LynneSin]

34. I think it's more like "Thou Shall Not Covet thy Neighbor's House"

Huckabee is just jealous that the world is morning over the loss of Ted Kennedy and outside of Chuck Norris and a few right-wing nut jobs, no one will really care when the Huckster passes away.

[NC_Nurse]

2. Actually, he defies good taste. What bullshit. Since when did this jackass get to

weigh in on EVERYTHING! STFU!!!

[RagAss]

3. What a piece of fucking shit !

[WillParkinson]

4. If it WERE true...

I can think of a few things Mr. Huckabee should be seeing a doctor for....

[Barack_America]

5. I can hardly think of a more disgusting remark to make.

Thank you Mike Huckabee, for showing the country just how small you truly are.

(And, FYI, Kennedy was eligible for not one, but TWO govt. run healthcare programs, with the congressional healthcare package and the VA)

[Creena]

6. Vile. Fucking. Shit.

:grr:

[hedgehog]

7. Stay classy, Mike.

[peace frog]

8. You know what to kiss and when, Huckleberry

Asshole.

[redqueen]

9. What a shameless liar.

:puke:

[alsame]

10. They didn't even wait until he's buried. Shame on them all. nt

[redqueen]

15. And these assholes are worried about US politicizing his death...

as always, the wrongwing is the ultimate in projection.

They are beyond sick, way past disgusting...

[KatyaR]

11. OMG I am SO sick of these MF'ers.

Why don't they just crawl into a hole somewhere and spare the rest of the world their absolute stupidity? :puke:

I'm 52 years old, and in my entire life I have NEVER seen anything like the crap that comes from "conservatives" these days. If you don't agree with them, it is nothing but hate, hate, hate, hate. I'm so glad my parents aren't here to see this--they would be absolutely disgusted.

This country has gone to hell and I don't know if we can find our way back. There surely aren't any true leaders left to help us find the way, that's for sure. :mad:

[politicasista]

18. It's disgusting

One of my dad's patients told him that on his job, a couple (or maybe several. Paraphrasing) rednecks were laughing about Kennedy's death and calling him vile names (i.e. drunk, killer, etc).

I am from a red state, with ignormauses who think Obama is a Musilim. :puke:

Not suprising. :mad:

[Doctor_J]

25. Sick enough to do somethng about them?

A few of us have been contemplating doing more than wringing our hands, grinding our teeth, and writing their sponsors.

[Thrill]

13. This guy is supposed to be a Pastor? Shameful Liar

[FourScore]

14. Fuck you Huckabee!

[mikelgb]

16. Wrong. KENNEDY WAS THE FIRST VICTIM OF OBAMACARE!

Why do you think Obama was right on hand there next door to Ted when he passed? Obama had just finished his DEATH PANEL with Ted where he read his hypnotic DEATH BOOK to him and Ted agreed to die as a martyr for SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!

[Walk away]

17. Who follows these horrible people?

It seem as if republicans are lower life forms. They are really good at lying and terrifying their stupid constituency.

[eleny]

20. Reachng for new lows at the bottom of the human barrel

[Neecy]

21. what a lying sack of shit

[KansDem]

22. He wins the "Zell Miller Award"

Actually, didn't Sen. Kennedy do what his doctor(s) advised him to do? What's wrong with that?

And isn't that what all Americans will do under the public option?

Oh, and Huckabee: "It was President Obama himself who suggested that seniors who don't have as long to live might want to just consider taking a pain pill instead of getting an expensive operation to cure them," said Huckabee. "Yet when Sen. Kennedy was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at 77, did he give up on life and go home to take pain pills and die?

It's a "quality of life" issue and it might be exactly what I would do, so fuck you!

[G_j]

23. Top of the GOP list of priorities..... LIE, LIE, LIE

love those values!

[graywarrior]

24. He reminds me of a minister who'd diddle your little brother.

[Bluerthanblue]

26. "And they'll know we are Christians by our love".....

..you continue to betray yourself as a LIAR mr. Huckabee.


I pity you.


:shrug:

[dbonds]

27. People like Huckabee is why christianity is dieing.

Long live the post-christian age.

[nolabear]

28. Might be a blessing in disguise.

Huckabee's been pretty quiet. This might be the gun that gets him a spot in the circular firing squad. Keep talking, little man.

[otohara]

29. Wasn't Kennedy on Medicare Already?

Pretty sure he was old enough.

[Rincewind]

30. I urge huckabee

to die right fucking now. What a lying piece of shit.

[malaise]

31. They're scared

shitless.

Fuckabee!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jakes Progress]

32. He calls himself "Christian"

because he doesn't really believe. No one who actually believed in Christianity could lie that much without fearing Hell.

The conservative world is full of those professing religion to further their goals, but their actions and hate are sure indications of their lack of fearing any after-life reprisals.

Oh. And he is a sack of shit.

[pipi_k]

33. Oh, that Obama, he's a slippery one, alright....

Out on Martha's Vineyard pretending to be on vacation...

All the while he was really using Jedi Knight Mind Control on poor Teddy...

In fact, once Obama gets his way with healthcare reform, he is going to personally kill everybody's granny with his brain....

:scared:




Poor Fuckabee....he's fallen into the Stupid Pot along with the rest of 'em...
:eyes:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

35. You really are a creep Mike Schmuckabee

Senator Kennedy had more class, intelligence and humanity in one finger than you and your enitre party will have in all your respective lives

I sincerely hope all your dreams go unfulfilled

[JBoy]

36. Wow, he beat Sarah Palin to the bottom.
