Mike Huckabee's fight to throw the public off 'his' Florida beach

[LiberalArkie]

Mother Jones has compiled the comprehensive account of Mike Huckabee’s political and legal fight to keep the public off the strip of beach in front of his $3 million home near Destin, Fla.

After getting millions in public support to maintain the beach, Huckabee now claims it as his own, with the help of political trickery, including state legislation to override local ordinances in favor of beach access. There’s now a legal contest attempting to enforce historic Florida precedent in favor of public beaches.

Huckabee sounds his usual victimized self.

Huckabee wrote a thank-you note to the Republican cosponsor of the bill, complaining that he and his neighbors were “demonized as ‘greedy, selfish and rich’ owners who want to deprive the poor of their ‘rights.’” He added, “I’ve found used condoms on my walk-down, glass bottles broken, dog feces, litter. Sharp tent poles that can cut bare feet and worse. Large tents with large groups with boom boxes make using my own property very difficult during high season.”

3. Boo-fucking-Hoo.

Huckabee needs a brain transplant. Maybe a father/daughter twofer.

4. I assume he knew that the beach had public access when he bought it.

If you want a private beach buy a house that has one.

I don't blame him for being upset about the behavior of some beach goers, but you bought the property with pubic access, too bad.
