Huckabee Tells A Lie – Which Will Become The Tea Party’s “Truth” In 5… 4… 3…
I honestly expected honesty from a former preacher who constantly plays up how moral and religious he is.
During a radio appearance yesterday, Mike Huckabee repeatedly falsely claimed that President Obama grew up in Kenya. After questioning Obama’s purported secrecy about the birth certificate, radio host Steve Malzberg asked Huckabee if “we deserve to know more about this man.” Huckabee responded, “I would love to know more. What I know is troubling enough.”
Speaking on WOR’s The Steve Malzberg Show, Huckabee — a Fox News host and potential presidential candidate — said that “one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American … his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British are a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather.”
Wasn’t there some sort of special, important law in the bible about lying?

He also said that he didn’t think there was anything to the birth certificate because the Clintons would have found it. Oy.
Whenever I hear a wing nut saying we don’t know anything about Obama’s background I want to give them a copy of Dreams From My Father.
They do love their false prophets. 🙂
Good for you for calling out Huckabee. Since you’re on the topic of liars, wouldn’t it be fair to take a closer look at Obama’s string of lies, or, do liberals still believe he’s perfection in human form?

So, does it really matter that a presidential hopeful is a liar or that the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES is a liar?
Republicans refuse to acknowledge their two years of resistance to change, their eight years of horrendous waste and folly and that they are the cause of Americas current problems.
Instead they blame their own President, the American people, those with the least power, even the poorest of the poor.
Time to recognize, when republicans say blame Obama, even republicans know – the real fault lies in their republican years of silence and now resistance.
Democrats want to move forward restoring America. Republicans say the same, but most often mean quite the opposite of what they say and that is alarming indeed.

Oh anonymous poster at 7:44 pm, you’re so silly! The Democrats, including your president, didn’t allow the GOP to the table these past two years on anything substantial (don’t make me quote Pelosi “you can read what’s in the health care bill after we pass it” trash). The Democrats REFUSE to acknowledge (or remember) they had control of Congress from 2006 until this past January and you’re still whining and poking fun of George Bush. Classically pathetic.
Obama is far surpassing Carter as the worst president in recent history. I can’t wait for the day he packs his bags and heads back to Chicago.
Eh, this mess has been built by both parties going back over 50 years.
The non-apology is out already:

I love Huckabee’s “clarification.” Clearly, being raised in Indonesia would give him insights into Kenyan independence. We all know what Huckabee tried to do – he tried to pat the birthers on the head while not being accused of being one.
“they had control of Congress from 2006”
and most of what they tried to do was signed into law by president bush and so much got done!
keep steepin’
Ironically if not surprisingly, there are a number of lies in the link purporting to document Obama’s lies.
well apparently the NEWT has thrown his hat in the ring for 2012
how many wives is that now???

“well apparently the NEWT has thrown his hat in the ring for 2012”
Just what we need… A morally bankrupt candidate for a morally bankrupt party.
Republicans view being unpopular as some kind of virtue.
Charlie Sheen weighing GOP Presidetential bid.
If Charlie Sheen gets his raise I am nominating him for Senate Majority Leader.
The Republicans disconnect with reality has always puzzled me but this thread just provided an Ah-Hah moment. Cocaine.
Lol. it all makes sense.
So the Fatman on WGMD today claims that Huck knew what he was saying and that it was “a well placed misspoken” line when Huck claimed the President was raised in Kenya. Yeah, right.
Well saying he MIS_SPOKE is a lie – due to the fact that he specificilly referenced the Mu Mu revolution and Obama being influenced by it – it was not just a pssing casual reference.
Huckster is competely unaware that Obama was raised in Hawaii and later in Indonesia – he didn’t even visit Kenya until well after the Mu Mu revolution
What an idiot – but then again the wing-nuts are not known for their intellectual depth
Like I’m not known for my good spelling
Aoine – you meant Mau Mau. Mu Mu is what Curley wears.
OMG – you are so right!!! LOL!
I think Colley is right. Huckabee “accidentally” misspoke several times. He was just blowing the racist dogwhistle.
yeah nice
