Tucker Beclowns Himself in ‘Detention’
Painting Israel in a negative light, Tucker Carlson falsely claimed that he was “detained” by Israeli security at the airport in Tel Aviv.
Huckabee Plays the Fool
Watching Republicans on TV is getting more painful by the week. And believe it or not, my pain has nothing to do with the successful candidacy of Donald Trump. The pain started Tuesday, when, joining a few score of my fellow Americans, I accidentally tuned into MSNBC. There was big Mike Huckabee, live, making a religious, political and constitutional fool of himself.
Best of the First Republican Confab
The “debates” Thursday were endurance exercises, given the number of candidates on stage.
What’s More Offensive Than Huckabee’s Holocaust Remark? Obama’s Iran Deal
In an interview with Breitbart News, Mike Huckabee accused President Barack Obama of being “naive” for trusting Iran to uphold its part of the recent agreement struck by the nations. By doing so, Huckabee said, Obama is marching Israelis “to the door of the oven.” The Anti-Defamation League, self-proclaimed guardians of (imaginary) Jewish values, swiftly denounced Huckabee’s language. Political reporters sprinted to the nearest Democrat to gauge exactly how offended Americans should all be. Huckabee was invited to appear on a bunch of TV and radio shows so that hosts could nudge him into expressing something even more disagreeable (as if such a thing were possible).
Huckabee’s ‘Oven’ Remark Taken Out of Context
It’s been a hard time for politicians not named “Trump” to get any attention, but Mike Huckabee managed it. He did it by comparing Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. At least that’s what I gathered from headlines like this one from Gawker: “Mike Huckabee Compares Obama to Hitler” I don’t put huge amounts of stock in Gawker headlines (or really any headlines on the Internet), but then I saw that CNN’s Wolf Blitzer said Huckabee had “essentially likened [Barack Obama] to Adolf Hitler.” National Journal’s Ron Fournier went on a tear on Twitter, insisting that Huckabee apologize for comparing Obama to Hitler. And of course, Hillary Clinton and Obama himself denounced Huckabee for making a Hitler comparison. Clinton even said she was “really offended personally,” as if her feelings are what really matters.
