[...] Hey, remember when Huckabee got that serial rapist paroled because he claimed to have found Jesus and Huck had all this compassion for him, and the guy immediately went out and raped and killed a woman, and probably two? Well, what happens if someone genuinely gets religion, but it’s the wrong one? Frankie Parker was also a prisoner when Mike Huckabee became governor. And Frankie Parker was guilty; no one says otherwise. In 1984, under the influence of drugs and alcohol, he killed his former in-laws and held his ex-wife hostage. He was sentenced to be executed, and after years of hearings and appeals and stays, the execution was scheduled for September 17, 1996…. [...]

Evolution as Policy, Not Symbolism or Critical Thinking

Did you really need to know Huckabee’s position on evolution to realize he’s a lunatic? Biologists need to stop selling evolution short: evolution is critical for improving human health and combating infectious disease. It’s not an indicator, but …

[...] You’ve all heard about the rapist Mike Huckabee released, but you haven’t heard about the Buddhist whose execution he moved up. Unbelievable. [...]

Diane, I found some more about that. I think this may be the best quote I've ever seen to explain how Mike Huckabee understands Christianity:

Interestingly enough, if there was ever an occasion for someone to have argued against the death penalty, I think Jesus could have done so on the cross and said, "This is an unjust punishment and I deserve clemency."

Can anything more be said?

[...] Huckabee still scares me Posted in politics by shetterly on January 13th, 2008 Frankie Parker (A Tale of Two Prisoners). Huckabee’s definitely an Old Testament Christian: he intervened as governor to execute a man sooner than scheduled, a man who appears to have become a devout convert to Buddhism. For Huckabee, mercy is for Christian criminals. [...]

What is even more scary and NO ONE IS pushing for this information which I think could wreck his chances …
There are no records to be found of his preaching years.
No sermons, one one talks about what kind of minister he was.
I think if he is going to use his religion, the fact that he was a minister and is religious, then we need to know what kind of ministering he was doing then I want to hear what he preached.
I want to know why this info is nowhere to be found!!

Swami, the final paragraph: “The fact remains that Governor Huckabee didn’t commutate, pardon, parole or grant any form of clemency to Wayne DuMond.”
