Mike Huckabee speaks at the Rediscover God in America Conference in Iowa and says that America would be better off it everyone were forced, at gunpoint, to listen to David Barton.

David Barton introduced Mike Huckabee at the Rediscover God In America conference, praising him as the epitome of the "Black Robe Regiment" mentality of seeking to apply the Bible to every aspect of the culture.

Huckabee, in turn, repaid the compliments to Barton, calling him one of the most effective communicators in America and wishing that every American would be forced, at gunpoint, to listen to every Barton broadcast:

1. This is very, very scary...n/t

[Turbineguy]

2. OK, I guess we should

apply at 7-11 stores for night clerk jobs to get the training on how to listen to people at gunpoint.

[Angry Dragon]

3. It is nice that he is threating all Americans with violence

he should be questioned by the FBI for terrorism

[arcane1]

4. "one of the most effective communicators in America"

but you have to be threatened with death in order to listen to him?

[Enrique]

33. ha ha

I bet even Barton is thinking :wtf:

[Frisbee]

5. 5 minutes.

That's my over/under on how much David Barton I could listen to before I'd say "Please, just shoot me already!".

[Enthusiast]

6. Mike Huckabee

is a complete nut case.

[snappyturtle]

7. This kind of stuff (crap) really scares me. Maybe this has already happened:

I expect to hear from Huckabee and people like him, that the Founding Fathers were incorrect with the separation of church and state.

25. Thank you so much for taking the time to post these links.

Will 'enjoy' them, I'm sure! There's way too much of Huckabee on teevee these days. That ad he does for killing healthcare drives me bonkers.

[Shallah Kali]

26. you are very welcome

there is lots of embarrassing quotes from him out there like that but too many people still think huckster is a moderate republican because he is careful to not screech & froth at the mouth like other theocratic preachers and can make a coherent sentence unlike other theocratic politicans.

[Plucketeer]

8. Maybe he could enlist some of those

Mau-Mau shaman from that Indonesian island of Hawaii to mesmerise everyone long enough to listen to Barton! :crazy:

[Permanut]

12. Sure, right after the Huckster explains

about the Wayne Dumond thing.

13. Black Robe Regimentt?

Sounds more like Blackshirt Regiment... Or Blackshort regiment.

14. Republican politicians

18. I doubt there are many 'real' DU'ers;

Who are 'sucked in' by what Huckabee says. I for one collect the idiotic sayings these reptilian leaning evolutionary throwbacks say and will be able to use them in everyday speech against people who say so and so is ok. A line such as this will turn a few heads amongst the under informed a year from now. When it is time to use a line like this I can point to the exact quote and be able to provide a solid link where anyone can go to get the actual utterance.

Meanwhile, I do have a bone to pick with you on your statement that "because the racist hateful republican base loves to see progressive (sic) mad & upset and they send in cash to whom ever is saying it...." While your statement does not make sense I can guess at what it means; Republicans eat this crap up. Progressives find oratory such as what Huckabee spouts so offensive that the faithful (not in a Huckabee sense but as a philosophical bent) will increase their political contributions so as to attempt to further influence the above mentioned under informed future voter. I may be correct in the deciphering of the phrase but I am not sure.

19. Some people still think Huckabee is some middle of the road GOPer

when he is a stark raving theocracy. It is to help expose this fact is why I post this. Too many people dismiss the religious right as being powerless freaks and so only pay attention to mock them. They are wrong. These people do have power which is why the tea party go so many people elected last election while the middle and some liberals patted themselves on the back for not voting for anyone cuz there is no difference between the GOP and the Dems. & what did that get us but union busting, fetus obsessed, creationism promoting jerks elected into office. While *SOME* dems are no different from the GOP enough of 'em are to have previously prevented the massive shit storm of religious right pro-corporatist agenda from being brought up and passed in state after state after state until NOW.

[saras]

16. Now there's an all-American value

This tells us all we need to know about Huckabee's ideas of "better" for America. It's not freedom that makes America great, or even religion. It's being held at gunpoint.

Having everyone - everyone - subject to being held at gunpoint is just trivial, as long as they're listening to the right radio show.

You don't like his radio voice? Pow! Rifle butt to the skull.

WTF?

and we won't even get into applying the Bible to every aspect of the culture. It's NOT replacing my Motors auto repair manuals. Or my Eno collection. I've seen people who tried.

[greiner3]

17. Only if I were the one holding the gun on Huckabee.

[MrModerate]

20. I've always considered Huckabee to be a genial psychopath . . .

And this proves it. Not so much that he believes people should be herded into their TV rooms by the National Guard (or whatever), but that he believes he could say such a thing and it would go unremarked.

This pretty much does it. He can't run for president with that piece of video in the public domain.

Although, please note that the crowd did applaud this appalling remark, so you can never be sure . . .

[WhoIsNumberNone]

21. At gunpoint is the only way you'd get me to sit through a whole sermon from this clown

And I wouldn't be the better for it- unless it was though yet more further insight into the willful ignorance of the religious right (Think I have too much of that already)

[AlbertCat]

22. Rediscover God in America Conference

What the fuck is that? What does it even mean? What are they talking about? I can't get away from god.

What a scam. It's like a "How many angels can sit on a micro chip?" conference. Man, if I could do that to people, I could make up a bunch of crap to play on these people's martyr complexes and have them pay to come to some buzz-word-named "conference" and make a killing.

But I'm not like that.


"apply the Bible to every aspect of the culture. "

YIKES! Can you imagine how dreadful that would be? Like I said, what are they even talking about? All this god stuff is everywhere you look. I wish god would leave me the hell alone.

[ChazInAz]

23. Oh, why not?

Let's get that good old-fashioned Bible Morality everywhere. I'm really looking forward to the animal burnt offerings on the steps of the Capitol. When politicians get booted out of office...we not only kill them, but their entire families. Circumcision for everyone, whether they believe or not. Death if they don't believe. Polygamy for all of us guys. Not to mention concubines! For special occasions: the ever-popular human sacrifice of a well-loved child...just to show you care enough to give the very best!
Man, we'll be that shining city on a hill yet. We just have to double down!

24. don't forget the stonings of astrologers, mouthy teens & women who are unchaste before marriage

Invitation to a Stoning
http://reason.com/archives/1998/11/01/invitation-to-a-stoning

For connoisseurs of surrealism on the American right, it's hard to beat an exchange that appeared about a decade ago in the Heritage Foundation magazine Policy Review. It started when two associates of the Rev. Jerry Falwell wrote an article which criticized Christian Reconstructionism, the influential movement led by theologian Rousas John (R.J.) Rushdoony, for advocating positions that even they as committed fundamentalists found "scary." Among Reconstructionism's highlights, the article cited support for laws "mandating the death penalty for homosexuals and drunkards." The Rev. Rushdoony fired off a letter to the editor complaining that the article had got his followers' views all wrong: They didn't intend to put drunkards to death.

Ah, yes, accuracy does count. In a world run by Rushdoony followers, sots would escape capital punishment--which would make them happy exceptions indeed. Those who would face execution include not only gays but a very long list of others: blasphemers, heretics, apostate Christians, people who cursed or struck their parents, females guilty of "unchastity before marriage," "incorrigible" juvenile delinquents, adulterers, and (probably) telephone psychics. And that's to say nothing of murderers and those guilty of raping married women or "betrothed virgins." Adulterers, among others, might meet their doom by being publicly stoned--a rather abrupt way for the Clinton presidency to end.

Mainstream outlets like the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post are finally starting to take note of the influence Rushdoony and his followers have exerted for years in American conservative circles. But a second part of the story, of particular interest to readers of this magazine, is the degree to which Reconstructionists have gained prominence in libertarian causes, ranging from hard-money economics to the defense of home schooling. "Christian economist" Gary North, Rushdoony's son-in-law and star polemicist of the Reconstructionist movement, is widely cited as a spokesman for free markets, if not exactly free minds; he even served for a brief time on the House staff of Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), the Libertarian Party presidential nominee in 1988, when Paul was a member of Congress in the '70s. For his part, Rushdoony has blandly described himself to the press as a critic of "statism" and even as a "Christian libertarian." Say what?

27. David Barton makes our freethinking Deist founders sound like Fundamentalist Christians

His work is so filled with lies it's stunning.

[neobeetle]

28. Are you serious Mike?

Damn, He's MORE dangerous than I thought.

[lumpy]

29. Do you suppose that the oily mouthed snake oil salesman

named Huckabee is the antichrist in disguise? He seems to fit the bill;sugar and spice and everything nice.

[opihimoimoi]

30. Fuckk the Huckkk

[demwing]

31. Speak Softly

but carry a big stick.

Arm yourselves libs, and learn how to properly use your weapon, if you have not already done so. If these Cowboys for Jesus get the opportunity, they'll try to live out their theocratic fantasies on us, and our children.

The velvet glove of peaceful resistance only works against tyrants when they know that there is an iron fist hidden within.

[Enrique]

32. what a strange way to express his fantasy

made very vivid by the part about the simultaneous telecast and the people being forced at gunpoint. It really gives you a glimpse into how Huckabee sees things.

And it's not very flattering to Barton, if everyone has to be forced to listen to him.

[barbtries]

34. i couldn't even stand to listen to this

imagine being forced to listen to bullshit...
