So Mike Huckabee has finally shown his true stripes. He made a completely tasteless “joke” about Senator Barack Obama ducking a gunman as he spoke to the National Rifle Association today. After hearing a loud noise offstage, Huckabee came out with the following distasteful rant.
“That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he’s getting ready to speak,” said the former Arkansas governor, to audience laughter. “Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor.”
I certainly hope the Secret Service takes his “joke” seriously. In the past such statements were sometimes considered veiled threats and cold be subject to prosecution. I guess he has no hopes of -being a VP for McCain, so he figures he might as well come out as a violence-loving right wing wacko!
UPDATE: Pundits and politicians alike are outraged by Mike Huckabee’s “joke” about shooting Barack Obama. It was not only a mistake, it was a stupid mistake. Watching CNN, all the commentators found it outrageous and Jack Cafferty described Hickabee best, “He’s an idiot!”
