Mike Huckabee: Obama Marching Israelis 'To The Door Of The Oven'
"This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history."

Associate Politics Editor, The Huffington Post

Posted: 07/26/2015 | Edited: 1 hour ago
GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee condemned the Iran deal on Breitbart News Saturday, July 25, 2015.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Saturday invoked the specter of the Holocaust to criticize President Barack Obama for his decision to negotiate with Iran over its nuclear program.

“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven," Huckabee said in an interview with Breitbart News.

The presidential contender, a social conservative who is seen favorably by Republican voters, has promised to rescind the deal with Iran on his first day in office.

"This is the most idiotic thing, this Iran deal. It should be rejected by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and by the American people. I read the whole deal. We gave away the whole store. It’s got to be stopped," he said in the interview.

Huckabee currently polls at 5.6 percent in the GOP presidential primary, according to HuffPost Pollster:...........graph.....

Then again, I'm sane, so perhaps there are levels I can't conceive of

48. The fact of the matter is that the Republican Party has been seized by fascists:

Today's GOP endorses every one of the characteristics of Fascism.

Fourteen Defining
Characteristics Of Fascism
By Dr. Lawrence Britt
Source Free Inquiry.co
5-28-3


Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulation or control of elections.

51. there is apparently no depth of hatred, bigotry, ignorance, fear and war-mongering that these

people will not plumb.

2. Update: Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz called on Huckabee to apologize

Good for her.

Update: Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz called on Huckabee to apologize on Sunday..more......

[MBS]

20. Excellent.

She's a good person to have answer back to this outrageous statement. for which he really must apologize (but I'm not holding my breath).

[SoapBox]

3. WTF!!!!!!!

Why is it ALWAYS Nazis and Hitler, with Pukes and Baggers????

This is beyond disgraceful!

[jmowreader]

12. ESPECIALLY since they count the Bushes among their presidents...

You will note the only one of their number that isn't calling Obama a Nazi is Jeb Bush. For him that would be the worst thing imaginable: Jeb Bush's grandfather Prescott was a founding partner in Brown Brothers Harriman (aka "Skull and Bones South" because the majority of its founding partners were members of that Yale secret society) and was named in the Vesting Order the government executed to seize the bank after they were caught funding the German Nazis during World War II.

[Sunlei]

35. I don't like the way spellchecker always 'auto caps' the nazi word

even baggers don't deserve the respect of a capital letter

[awoke_in_2003]

46. Because they do projection better than Sony. nt

52. See post #48

It hits them too close to home...

[irisblue]

4. how could someone so ignorant

have been elected to public offices several times? geez louise

[volstork]

53. His constituency

Is equally ignorant

[90-percent]

5. And about the deal......

The entire fucking planet including a unanimous 15 out of 15 countries on the U.N. Security council think it's a fantastic deal. The only people that don't seem to like it are conservative Republicans running for President!

These conservative republicans are going to turn the USA into an international pariah for decades to come if they scuttle this. As well they should, a nation with leadership as stupid and venal as conservative Republicans deserves all that is coming to us!

When is it treason? And their plan to go to war with Iran ain't going to be a cakewalk. It will be another Viet Nam with a draft and a nice wall in D.C. with 55,000 names of patriotic young people that were sacrificed simply because those of Huckabee's ilk don't like the negro in the White House!

33. Thanks, for speaking the truth!

[gregcrawford]

6. Keep in mind...

... this sonofabitch calls an unrepentant child molester and draft dodger, Turd Nugent, a "true patriot." So,credibility, Mikey? Sorry ol' son, you ain't got shit, so fuck you.

[Grassy Knoll]

7. Idiot

[asjr]

19. Just having to be seen near this man would turn off people considering

becoming Christians. He should be run out of the Republican party. The Repubs finally found the devil.

[heaven05]

8. agitating hate and fear

the only thing creepublicans have become good at and using their tools in their racist base. IDIOT!!!

[George II]

9. .

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Every time I see this headline

I just howl! What a raging insane lunatic!

Apocalyptic mindset has seriously destroyed whatever mental function he had.

[Gore1FL]

11. The Trump formula works.

Say bombastic and baseless bullshit and the freaks will flock to you.

[classof56]

13. Okay, I finally did it--looked up the dictionary definition of "feckless".

Here's what I found:

Did you know that most varieties of English are in fact “feck”-less? They don’t contain a word feck, only the negative counterpart feckless. The “feck” in feckless began as a short form of effect used in the Scots dialect. So feckless essentially means "ineffective," but is also used to describe someone who is irresponsible, incompetent, inept, or without purpose in life.

Seems to pretty well describe Mike Huckabee, IMHO. Since there's no such word as "feck", guess I'd best not follow my instinct to say "feck you, Huckabee". Not only would it not make much sense, it wouldn't be very nice of me, right?

[jtuck004]

14. Yet the Palestinians are the ones mostly dying at the hands of the Israelis and living as

Last edited Sun Jul 26, 2015, 07:03 PM - Edit history (1)

in a POW camp. Odd, that. n/t

[oberliner]

28. The Palestinians in Syria were literally living in such a camp

Until ISIS and Assad forces started massacring them.

No one seems interested in those Palestinians for some reason though.

[jtuck004]

34. You are, enough to say something. That's good. Doesn't necessarily mean no one else is. n/t

[closeupready]

43. You aren't interested in Palestinians being massacred. Check.

Okay. Understood.

[bluestateguy]

15. I guess he doesn't think very highly of the IDF

As the IDF could flatten Iran anytime they wanted to with or without this deal.

[wolfie001]

16. First Cotton-mouth says Kerry's Pontius Pilate.....

.......now Huckleberry says Obama's Hitler. Geez these repukes are freaking insane!

[blm]

17. He's lying - he didn't read the deal, he's saying what the moron vote wants to hear.

No sane person could claim that deal was a giveaway when nuclear experts are saying it is far-reaching and much more comprehensive than anyone had expected.

But, NWO Republican liars can't admit that. Just like they can't admit that the economy has improved.

They are desperate to blame and smear Obama with the 'worst' charge because they can't admit they stood side by side with the real 'worst' for 8 years.

[Botany]

18. How about the living hell Mike made for the families of the murder victims who died because ...

.... Huckabee let brutal people out of prison who then raped and or killed more people
even after other victims or the Arkansas parole board asked Mike not to do that?

[yurbud]

21. why do righties (and too many Dems) pretend Israel doesn't have HUNDREDS of NUKES?

And for that matter that we don't have THOUSANDS?

Israel has more than enough to retaliate against any nuke armed neighbor foolish enough to launch at them, and we have enough to wipe every country off the map several times over.

The only "threat" of a nuclear armed Iran (or any other country) is it would limit our and Israel's options for threatening, coercing, attacking or invading them.

Anything beyond that is pure PR bullshit.

[yurbud]

22. based on way neocons wet their pants about countries POSSIBLY getting nukes, we only need a handful

since they said Saddam Hussein would only need a softball sized quantity to blackmail the world and the very theoretical nukes of Iran are the equivalent of a new Holocaust for Israel.

By that logic, we could have our way with the world with maybe ONE nuke per country we want to bully.

That would save us a lot of money on maintaining our nuclear stockpile too.

[sinkingfeeling]

24. I didn't know Huck could read. I'd bet money he hasn't read the even the summary of the deal.

[Frustratedlady]

29. Even the congresscritters voting for/against the Iran deal probably haven't...and, won't...

read it.

As for Hucklebee? That was irrational, irresponsible and shows how ignorant he truly is. He should go back to his pulpit and leave the rest of us alone. At least he won't warp as many minds from that podium as he would when he has a mike.

[Vinca]

25. This must be one of the nastiest and looniest remarks ever uttered by a politician.

Old Huck must have a lot war profiteers in his stock portfolio.

[Jack Rabbit]

26. Huckabee is trying to take the ball away fro the Rump by out-outraging him

I will admit that was a good try.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

27. Found his crown...

[restorefreedom]

31. please crawl back into your fundy bunker

and go away

[Geronimoe]

32. The Huckster sounds desperate

If he wasn't running to become President, many doctors would insist he get psychiatric examination.

[oldandhappy]

36. Poor Guitar-man

I used to think he was sane.

[Gregorian]

37. Thank you, Sir Cares-a-lot

We know how much people mean to you.

[oberliner]

38. Hard to get coverage with Trump around

Have to say stuff like this to get noticed.

[Mira]

39. Disgusting - abysmally stupid

self-serving and embarrassing.
I'm ashamed for all of America to have an ignoramus like this have any position of prominence for more than a minute.

[Novara]

40. He's gotta out-Trump Trump to get anyone to notice him at all.

Pass the popcorn, please.

[davidpdx]

41. That is just beyond reproach

If Trump criticizing McCain's service was a disqualification to run for president, the statement by Huckabee is a disqualification as a human being.

[marble falls]

42. Another in along sad RW line of trivializations of the Holocaust.

[JackInGreen]

44. Yep

I've decided.
I hang out on nasty image boards and this....this disgusts me.

[matt819]

45. A nation of extremists

Huckabee and his ilk have no interest whatsoever in Jews. None. Zilch. Nada. To the Huckabee crowd, Jews are hook-nosed shysters who run the librul media and Hollywood.

The only concern is with the state of Israel, which they need to exist in order for the rapture to occur. No Israel, no rapture. But if he puts it that way, he'll come across as even nuttier than he is to all but the most extreme of the religious fundamentalists.

I can appreciate how tempting it is to make the Nazi analogy. I've done it myself over the past decade, usually in referring to the Huckabee types. An article on Salon this weekend came close, though this piece simply called Trump a fascist.

The agreement with Iran is not only with the US but with five other superpowers. And it is not based on trust; it is based on verification. (Hey, that sounds familiar. I think it was saint Ron who said it first, trust but verify. And that was with godless communists.) Here's an analogy. Your wife may trust that you're not having an affair. Hey, it's easy to have an affair. But when she checks your phone, texts, e-mails, voice mails, FB page, instagram, and Twitter, she's verifying. Not so easy, hey? Let's see, even an idiot could understand that, but the idiots are reading that or hearing that because Huckabee and his fellow clowns lie.

And, finally, there's the Third Reich to consider. In the early 1930s they began the development of concentration camps. These may not yet have been part of the Final Solution, but their availability made it tons easier. Hitler had a plan - to rid the world of Jews. And Catholics. And Gypsies. And Homosexuals. Communities with these populations were emptied and forced into Ghetto enclaves. Eventually, they skipped the ghettos and went straight to the camps, where, when all was said and done, more than 11 million people were killed, 6 million of those Jews. It was a killing industry. And a successful one at that.

To attribute to President Obama the attitude and commitment to this sort of behavior is beyond contemptible. If there are words to describe how vile Huckabee and his ilk are, I don't have them.

And yet, notwithstanding expressions of outrage and contempt, Huckabee has already started doubling down on his vile assertion.

[lark]

47. Totally dispicable pandering to the crazy fringes.

Huckabee just proved himself once more to be a total ass. Of course, what do you expect from someone who's OK with a child rapist never getting punished.

[rladdi]

49. Huckabee the fraud preacher. Got kicked out of his church for his LIES.

Israel is really the country to be afraid of. They will start wars, like our Republicans, at the drop of a needle. It is time the American people wake up to what Israel really stands for. IT IS NOT PEACE.

[The Jungle 1]

50. Pied Piper

Huckadork can't help it cause he is just following the Pied Piper of crazy. Trump. Perry is drawn by the same music. (I want to see the prescription for those glasses)

Is it possible Trump is a closet Democrat? The amount of aid he is providing the Democratic party is stunning. Just asking?

No way is he this stupid. History shows us that business and markets always do better with a D in office.

[moondust]

54. Much like Sarah Palin.

"I can see Russia from my house" (or whatever she said to that effect) was supposed to convince people that she knows about international relations!

"I stood at the door to the ovens at Auschwitz" is supposed to convince people the Huckster knows about the Iran agreement and what it really means!

Both are too stupid for words.

[PatrickforO]

55. It isn't just Huckabee

I just saw a United Against a Nuclear Iran advertisement on television tonight. The military-industrial complex sure isn't going to take the awful specter of peace lying down, I'll tell you that!

[Lytex]

56. A lot of GIs saw those doors, too

A lot of GIs who liberated Auschwitz saw those doors too. It brought home the horror of war. Huckabee never served. He got a deferment for flat feet.

[4lbs]

57. Hyperbole much Mike? Yes, a deal in which Iran decreases their nuclear capacity sure is

lighting those ovens isn't it?

We gave away the whole store? Uh no, he is confusing this deal with the 1985 Iran-Contra deal where we armed Iran.
