The Part That Really Irks Me About the Huckabee Rapist
So I don’t think we have really covered the issue here this week, but there is a Willie Horton in Mike Huckabee’s closet. The Huffington Post has had some excellent coverage, but I’ve stayed clear of it. But I’m starting to see Huckabee in the light of one of the most awful policy trends in the past decade. Clinton Derangement Syndrome (CDS). We have seen this happen several times in the past and here it is again.
First W. gave so little credence to Clinton that he considered the threat of al Qaeda seemed overblown. Now Huckabee appears to have let a convicted rapist go mostly because the rapist had raped one of Clintons relatives(the rapist went on to rape and murder another woman), so it surely had to be a set up. The fact that Huckabee was swayed by the kind of lunatics that put out videos about the people that Clinton had murdered says something about Huckabee.
I’m not in favor of dragging out the Willie Horton’s in a Governor’s past but this murderer says way more about Huckabee then Willie Horton ever said about Dukakis. The next question is whether Democrats will be so blinded by Bush hate that they miss the one or two things that he actually has done right.

You know, this kind of bovine feces really pisses me off. The first rape victim was a distant relative of Bill Clinton’s, and he had had his sentence reduced by Governor Jim Guy Tucker, a Democrat, and Mr Clinton’s successor. Mr Huckabee later recommended that the board parole him. He had spent several years in prison, and had been castrated (by whom, we don’t know, but the local sheriff had his nuts in a jar on his desk) before his arrest.
It turned out to be a poor decision on Governor Huckabee’s part, though few people would have expected a castrated man to go out and commit another rape, and he can be properly faulted for that decision. But the notion that he freed this man because the guy had raped a relative of Mr Clinton’s is just plain stupid.
Here’s my story on the subject, which has a few references.
Hmmm. He’s a link for ya’
The Castration of Wayne DuMond
There are a few more. I’ll dig them up and post them.
Here is a cached version of Steve Dunleavy’s post on the subject. It appears that it was deleted in the past few days.
Clinton Derangement Syndrome (CDS) is the Republican platform now. I get fundraising letters from the RNC that are nothing but three page unhindged anti-Clinton screeds.
And here is one from the NY Post.
Also, for the record, here some letters from the victims to Huckabee.
“Dear Wayne,” Huckabee wrote in a letter to Dumond, after having read the victims’ letters. “My desire is that you be released from prison.” And no amount of spinning can change that,
