Mike Huckabee Goes After the Green Commie Wing of the Republican Party
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 5:16 AM
Huckabee goes after the communist voters in the Republican Party.
Here’s a clue: Retweeting shoutouts from commie Van Jones will not endear you with the conservative base.
The Washington Times reported:
Former Arkansas Governor and Fox News contributor Mike Huckabee may have just gotten a wet kiss via a tweet from a controversial former Obama administration czar the former governor later re-tweeted. This will likely not help Mr. Huckabee in a 2012 presidential campaign. Commenters on a conservative forum are wondering about Mr. Huckabee now. (h/t Kristinn Taylor)
According to a local report, former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones joined Mr. Huckabee at a Student Summit in Tallahasse sponsored by Florida State and Florida A&M universities. Following the event Mr. Jones tweeted out:
@GovMikeHuckabee made me proud tonight 2B fellow person of faith + fellow patriot. We disagreed respectfully. The American way! #tcot #p2
Mr. Huckabee re-tweeted Mr. Jones’s tweet.
Here’s another clue: When Van Jones talks about “faith” it’s not necessarily a Christian faith he’s talking about.

Forget the presidency Huckabee, you’re risking your day job talkin’ to a Van Jones type.
Joe's Garage commented:
I don’t trust Huckabee. Will not vote for Huckabee. He’s looking more like a RINO every day.
NeoKong commented:
Good luck Huck…..
Westie commented:
How about a BOYCOTT on anything about this camera/microphone hog Huckabee. As far as I’m concerned, next to the Clinton’s or Obama’s the Huckster is the worst thing that’s happened in recent political circles!
squeaky commented:
this did it for me. huck will be an easy slice n’ dice for the dems as a candidate.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Militant Conservative commented:
Huckabee is the past, moving forward America needs a hardline conservative. This does not describe most of the current contenders for president.
powder is dry
MustComment commented:
Long ago I blogged on Huckabee and his drooling moment over Michelle Obama. I couldn’t understand it and I wondered then – about him. This story downright shocks me. Very disappointing!
#1AMERICAN commented:
Huckabee should quietly disappear from all radar…can not trust him at all.
RedBeard commented:
Huck’s major problem, the one that affects everything else, is that he has no firm principles to guide him. He’s a slender reed in the wind.
At the very least, any man of principle would know that he may be judged by the company he keeps, and beware of keeping company with unsavory characters like Jones.
Susan commented:
Social Justice is the poisonous serpent slittering inside the church and Huckabee was bitten by the fangs of an evil thing.
Floyd Looney commented:
It seems like there are daily crazy talks from the “potential” GOP candidates self-destructing their chances. Huckabee also defended the Michele Obama Food Police.
Meanwhile Haley Barbour says we should make policy as if man-made global warming were real (even if its not?). Really? We should all live in huts eating twigs for 50 years to lower the temp by a tenth of a degree based on…. hot air from vapid eco-nuts?
donh commented:
This is proof the left is picking our candidates they best see as securing our loss. Obama needs Huckabee in the primary to divide the conservative vote and set up another Lame McCain opponent to hand victory to Obama on a silver platter. Van Jones is working Obama’s re election plan to romance Huckabee into the primary…probably sending him cash donations too.
Rock commented:
Buck the Huck!
Nice of him to remove all doubt early on though.
Texmom commented:
donh said: “This is proof the left is picking our candidates they best see as securing our loss.”
Couldn’t agree more. The last election seemed predetermined. How can we be sure the next one isn’t? No time to lose.
We were Huckabee backers in the last election, but many things he has said since then have been a huge disappointment. I think he likes to appear as the great compromiser, but you can’t compromise with an administration like we have now.
kansas commented:
Gomer Huckabee. He’ll be our losing candidate. I bet he gives a great concession speech.
Rock commented:
@ 15
Far to often compromise is the precursor to a knife in the back. Huck McCain, and many of the old school Republicans are not to be trusted.
BH commented:
Be wise as serpents….Huckabee is grossly underestimating the revulsion among conservatives towards politicians and pundits who try to play nice, drink slippery cocktails with enemies and speak out of both sides of their mouths. As a Conservative woman, “Mama don’t allow” those anti-American Marxists and muslims to tell me who I’m gong to vote for.. Obama has got to go!! He is not our president. He is a usurper! Van Jones just scored a hit on Huckabee. He did it with malice of forethought and he knows WHY he did it. Payback!

True, but he also did the Tea Party a big favor, not only showcased a RINO, but then gored him nicely.

EXACTLY!! Huckabee is not what he says he is.
redc1c4 commented:
Huckabee has always struck me as a useless RINO, but this should make it more apparent to those amongst us who still get their info from the MFM.
Auntie Em commented:
Let me add….Van Jones is a pawn and he was played very nicely here. Too bad for his puppetmaster, most, if not all, discerning Christian Conservatives have already peeked under Huck’s sheepskin and saw the teeth.
RedBeard commented:
On a tangent, I’m troubled by Huck’s commercials that paint him as a strong foe of illegal immigration. Is that this week’s position, or last week’s position? And a few months ago, what was it?
Why is it so blasted difficult for most Republicans to come right out and say that right is right, wrong is wrong, and those things do not change with the wind or the phases of the moon?
Unless we find a decent, grounded, principled, firm, well-spoken, intelligent, conservative candidate for president, we’re likely to lose this thing in 2012. So far, I’m seeing a raft of half-hearted waverers and RINOs and weak personalities, and I am not well pleased.
The only one coming close to fitting the proper description is Sarah Palin. Problem is that the lefties have done a bang-up job of tarnishing her in terms of public perception, and she has not demonstrated the ability to fight back into a positive public light, as someone like Reagan was able to do after being savaged by the left.
Rock commented:
#23 RedBeard
A valid point, Dems are Socialist and are not ashamed to be seen as such, while old school Republicans seemed confused as to how they want to be seen, and their words are measured to fit the audience, its as if they fail to understand radio and TV bits will always be out there to bite them at the most inappropriate moment. Of course this also exposes them to be less than honest Conservatives.
Patricia commented:
I could never vote for someone like Huckabee…. he is so weak!
Huckabee gives me the impresion that he desperately has a need or a desire to please God and the devil at the same time…
Gary commented:
We need a new mantra for storie like this:
“Here they go again!”
That’s what we should be thinking whenever the following names appear in the headline:
Gingrich, Pawlenty, Huckabee, Romney, …..
Here they go again
rolling out that same stale dim sum cart of warmed over centrist hacks that make us lose presidential elections… Bob Dole, John McCain, etc
whenever we put Democrat Lite up against Democrat, Democrat wins and 40% of the country hears a flushing sound when they cast their ballot.
There are a lot of good conservatives out there, but even they have squishy and questionable moments.
The only two who don’t are Palin and Bachmann.
All Bachmann can be accused of is a solitary factual error (the Lexington remark).
All Palin can be accused of is loyalty to McCain when she should have cut ties sooner.
But neithe woman has ever said anything to make me question what their true intent would be if elected.
I can’t say that about Newt (just a swingin’ on the sofa with Pelosi) Gingrich
When they tell me that Charlie Sheen is more electable than Sarah Palin, that’s how I know she’s the right choice.
When they say her popularity is dropping by the day, that’s how I know.
When they call her an inexperienced idiot, that’s how I know.
I hope you know it too.
Palin/Bachmann 2012
Gary commented:
PS
just my humble opinion, but I have a feeling that Huckabee is a real nasty SOB in comparison to his on-air persona.
He didn’t chuckle and strum his way into the Clinton-stained Arkansas Gov’s mansion
(and don’t forget his deal with McCain in the 2008 primaries to knock Romney out of the race)
Bobbi commented:
I also heard that Pawlenty positioned himself with Big Sis on global warming. Two down. Trump looks better every day.
Gary commented:
Geez.
I forgot about Trump.
Things to know about Trump:
He has changed party affiliation numerous times.
He’s a political chameleon (i.e. a businessman)
He’s looking out for number one.
He’s not serious about a presidential campaign.
That said, he could still get my vote on 3 conditions:
1. if he is serious about the things that he said on China
2. if he takes either Palin or Bachmann as a running mate
3. he promises in January 2013 to say, “Mr. Obama, ……. you’re fired!”
BH commented:
Trump may be a political shape-shifter, but he is settled enough to speak his mind and to damn the torpedoes when he does. As least he is calling Obama out on the birth certificate because that IS a weak spot for Zero. What is so awful about U.S. citizens expecting a vault birth record from the United States president–the leader of the free world? The chorus of laughter coming from the WH presser when Lester asked Mr. Fibbs about it is revealing. That room-full of media sycophants confirms to me that the JournOlist crowd has their orders and they are marching to them. Alinsky was big on picking a target and using ridicule to destroy it. I don’t know who will be running against Zero, but I’d definitely work for and vote for Sarah Palin no matter what the Marxist brood says about her. We’ve already seen what Marxists, regressives and an anti-American traitor/usurper can do and are doing to our Republic. Stop Obama!! True The Vote! Get out and work to make it happen.
scituate_tgr commented:
“Bobbi commented: I also heard that Pawlenty positioned himself with Big Sis on global warming.”
I heard this on Laure Ingram. That was about 4? years ago when Big Sis was Gov of AZ. He claims to have switched sides and recognized his error…how convenient.
Big L commented:
What donh and texasmom (13 and 15) said. Hick is being set up by the left to be our candidate. Like with M’Cain, the crossover voters will flood in about June 2012 and vote for Huck.
And Huck has written a book, Huck is on Fox, the show isrepeated at least twice. Huck is on the local Cable “betw the hrs” news. It never stops and this is Calif with a jillion better people to interview. Except the cable will only do Sacramento socialists.
This is a cinch win for Obama.
Better to concentrate on the Senate and regaining the Acorn-esque Secy Of States across the country. and the Registrar of Voters. they are libs,lefties and control the counting.
Marsh626 commented:
He also released dozens of murderers from prison because he thought they had “found Jesus” basically. Many of whom went on to murder more innocent people. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who are soft on crime. ESPECIALLY right-wingers who are soft on crime. I hated him from that day and now I hate him even more. Huckabee, get the hell out of my party.
Carlos commented:
#16-Kansas: I think Huck’s concession speech would parallel McLame’s…assuring us we have nothing to fear from a re-elected Hussein Soetoro.
OT: Just read that Pawlenty believes Soetoro is U.S. born. Well, that’s certainly enough to make me change my “birther” mind! Thanks for clarifying that, PawRino….loser.
Rose commented:
Huckabee is a strong Global Warmist and Shamnesty supporter, who told kids at a convention where not many adults were present, “wouldn’t it be neat if giving the vote to illegal aliens would lead to a ban on abortion, because these illegal aliens have stronger family values now than many Americans do!” – “The Call”, May 24, 2007
Yeah, Mike Huckabee and Van Jones – birds of a feather.
sifty commented:
Awwwshuckabee is a disgrace.
mcc commented:
About the Huckster — I was suspicious in ’08 when so many stories out of Arkansas seemed to involve his “misuse” of money or other related criticisms (heard the same about Michael Steele, btw) –
Went to that Tweet link of his, and sure enough, most of them ask for “donations” – for other causes and candidates…Really..?
A friend of mine said she went to his website once about an unrelated matter, and all she’s gotten from him since are requests for donations. She was shocked at how many times she’s been asked.
Like his belly, I’m thinking the guy can’t get enough of the green.
W_v commented:
If you want to know who huckabee is watch him get interviewed by Tavis Smiley, Public Broadcastings Leftist from Chicago and Obama’s Buddy. He’s a SNAKE
nhale commented:
OK, calling Obama a Communist was funny, but this is hysterical. Talk about guilt by association…
AuntieMadder commented:
Awwww, Huckabee proves himself to be “non-partisan” by “reaching across the aisle.” Ain’t that sweet? Huckabee’s so proud of himself for having pleased Van Jones that he retweeted Van Jones’ tweet about it. Next thing we know, we’ll see Huckabee and Van Jones on tv, together again, but this time holding hands and skipping as they sing Kumbaya.
I guess this explains why the lamestream media hasn’t labeled Huckabee “polarizing” and why they consistently tag that label to Palin. It also explains why, while “polarizing” is supposed to be a bad thing, I like it.
grizzlybare commented:
Huckleberry is wearing thinner by the day. Soon I’ll hate him as much as I hate McCain.
Winston commented:
Huckabee is a moron
LeAnn commented:
What irrational comments on here. I started to correct all the tons of misinformation on here and then thought why bother…
If anyone on hear has any sense, they:
1. wouldn’t return with all this complete foolishness.
2. would bother to verify all this garbage themselves, and then get the truth instead.
Otherwise, they aren’t worth attempting to reason with. The ignorance calling itself conservative on here is embarrassing. And the really sad thing is most of you will still be clueless. My hope is someone will relate to this and realize not all conservatives are like this.
LeAnn commented:

LeAnn commented:
And since people like to misrespresent here, by ‘here’ including the previous post, I mean this thread/article. I’m not familiar with the whole site which looks like it has some interesting info, but I hope comments everywhere else aren’t this baseless. I hope it was just a fluke with this one.
Deanna commented:
So LeAnn other than spouting generalities can you back up all these “tons of misinformation” you’re talking about? Oh wait, “they aren’t worth attempting to reason with. ” The cop-out used by people who can’t prove their statements.
Rock commented:
So LeAnn what is the going price for for a Soros trol this week? Check the time stamp, poor girl is just another hit and run Lib.
