there he goes again (cont'd)

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright excoriated America as having "committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world," saying "we are criminals in that war," and adding that "a nation that put as many Japanese in a concentration camp as they did in the '40s ... will put black people in a concentration camp. And I'm not interested in being in any concentration camp. I been on the reservation too long now." Then again, what would you expect from...

Wait. It was Martin Luther King who said that. Sorry.

On a lighter note, "the week before his death, he was planning a sermon for that Sunday titled 'Why America May Go to Hell.'" (from an email from Sojourners)

Huckabee: Fullas#i+? Or just an @$$hole?

What Would Jesus Dodge?

Comment #7:
What really grinds my gears about Huckabee's answer, and the media's rapturous response, is that capital punishment is one of the "WWJD" questions where we actually know the answer. Jesus was, basically, asked by the Pharisees whether he supported executing an adultress, and his response was the famous "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" line. So, Jesus? Basically a "no" on the whole capital punishment thing.

Yet here was have Huckabee, who practically preens over his theology degree and the centrality of his Christian faith, punting on an easy WWJD question. All because the more bloodthirsty part of his base doesn't want to hear the real answer...
