LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Republican Mike Huckabee responded to an offstage noise during his speech to the National Rifle Association by suggesting it was Barack Obama diving to the floor because someone had aimed a gun at him.

Hearing a loud noise and interrupting his speech, Huckabee said: "That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he — he dove for the floor."

There were only a few murmurs in the crowd after the remark.

The Obama campaign had no comment.

3. Ooooh...

...repulsively bad timing with that joke Huckster.

ON EDIT: who the fuck DOESN'T dive for the floor when a gun is aimed at them? What the fuck does that even mean?

[lapfog_1]

4. In a country where in my lifetime we had had so many

political leaders shot (and three killed), this is just not funny.

[Frustratedlady]

5. I sent it to Keith and Tweety.

If we keep hammering them, maybe they will expose the nut jobs who put those jokes out. I don't like that action, at all. It's almost as though they are planting the seed in some nut's mind.

[tridim]

11. Tweety just mentioned it.

[Frustratedlady]

27. I saw that! Good for him. Of course, Tucker had to argue about it.

Ooooo, he just mentioned it again. Time for Huckabee to apologize...God knows Obama and Michelle have to everytime they say something the Repugs don't like.

[Submariner]

6. Well that was political SUICIDE.....Bye bye Huck n/t

[CountAllVotes]

8. you mean he won't be insane McCain's running mate?

Jesus, I hope the hell not. He should be arrested!!!

:kick:

[movonne]

16. I think he would be a perfect running mate for mc cain...

[hisownpetard]

18. Are you kidding? I think that remark actually *qualifies* him to run with Insane McCain.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. My thought exactly

Good. He dug his own grave with his mouth, self-righteous prick.

[frogmarch]

7. Glad to see that Yahoo

and other news sources are running with this. Huckleberry really stepped in his own crap this time.

[tridim]

9. And Huckabee is "The nice one".

No chance he'd pull that "joke" out of his ass, it was premeditated.

At the very least it tells us he's been thinking about a gun aimed at Obama. :scared:

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Folks this is TO BE EXPECTED and he is planting the idea

now I hate to do this, but the Clinton folk have been speaking of an act of god


Not to say that this is related or anything... ok

[Richard Steele]

14. Bingo. nm

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. I hate connecting them damn dots...

but somebody has to do it

[Jack Rabbit]

13. "Tain't funny, Huckabee

.

[spanone]

15. chris matthews refused to discuss it...said too many nuts watch these shows

he didn't want to give anyone any ideas...

[TBF]

17. And he thinks those nuts don't watch Huckabee?

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Chris is wrong, the best protection at this point is NOT to avoid the point

but to openly discuss this

[shain from kane]

19. Huckleberry Hound as Deputy Dawg. Keep it in your holster.

[mountainvue]

20. Jackass. n/t

[ORDagnabbit]

23. perfect example of modern christianity. eom

[elfin]

24. My BIGGEST fear

added to a recent article (sorry, no link) about racism in the Secret Service.

Obama and his family are courageous heroes as far as I am concerned. They are betting on a changed climate in the U.S. despite the NRA and latent (or blatant) bigots.

I fear for him -- and I would fear for Hillary in this regard, given the hatred toward her by the same crazies.

[Libby2]

25. I also fear for him. I have since he announced.

[TexasLady]

26. Pure-la-tee Asshole

No comment indeed..let is wallow in its own putrid shit for what it is.

[blondeatlast]

29. Loathesome; yet how much did we hear about Rev. Wright and how LITTLE will we hear about this?

Purely rhetorical question--we all know the answer already.

[struggle4progress]

30. He's a hateful little shrivel

[SunDrop23]

31. What a douche bag.
