Huckabee: "God intervened. God showed up in the form of an elected Democrat named Kim Davis."

Ky. clerk's attorney says she won't resign

David Moore, who was among those originally denied a license in Rowan, said he was surprised by the ruling that let Davis go even though he was not happy to see her jailed. He said he only wanted Davis to do her job and treat people equally. "To see her paraded out as some kind of martyr, I don't like the way that looks," Moore said. "I don't believe she is a martyr. She is not in jail because she is a Christian. She's in jail because of contempt of court."

Tuesday's rally outside the jail drew thousands to the small Eastern Kentucky town of Grayson, where leaders from religious and conservative groups urged Christians to be prepared to stand up for religious convictions, even against the courts and government officials. Speakers also took shots at Gov. Steve Beshear, who has declined to call a special session on the matter.

Headlining the event, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said Davis’ supporters do not want to see America become the “smoldering remains of a great republic,” and that America’s creation occurred only through the providence of God.

“The only explanation is that God intervened,” he said. “And I believe this week … God showed up, and he showed up in the form of an elected Democrat named Kim Davis.”

1. i would rather wear a fucking burqa

[pinboy3niner]

2. If God blessed that fiasco, why didn't we see rainbows?

[get the red out]

3. If God only intervened in Morehead

He set his goals pretty low, I guess he wasn't ready for Louisville.

[B Calm]

4. Does Kim Davis buy her husband clothes?

[Marrah_G]

5. He seriously said Kim Davis is God.....~facepalm~

[Miles Archer]

6. Nowhere to go from here but up

I'm kind of glad he said it, because short of saying that Kim receives orders to kill from her dog, Huckabee pretty much set the bar for crazy on this one.

I'm a Christian, and I am so distanced from this woman and her "martyrdom" that I can't even put it into words. She didn't do her job. She was found in contempt and sent to jail. This is not a "war on religion."

[Marrah_G]

7. People like this make me extremely nervous

As a pagan Priestess, I worry about the future if they ever come to power.

[leftofcool]

26. No kidding!

Talk about going into the closet. Pagans would never be able to come out of it.

[Turbineguy]

8. What's with the bib overalls?

To better communicate with dupes?

[tanyev]

23. That was for leading the 'Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me' sing-along.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

30. Thanks for the earworm.

For those of you who don't know what tanyev's talking about:

It was a recurring segment on Hee Haw. I used to watch the show on a 19" portable tube-type Zenith black and white TV. It was the only set in the house that could channels above the VHF channels (2-13). Hee Haw was on channel 20.

Get off my lawn.

[leftofcool]

27. Now wait just a darn minute! I wear those when I work in my yard.

I can get my hand hoe, my mini rake, and a water bottle in a pair of those puppies! I would not be caught on TV in them.

[FrodosPet]

9. So am I the only one reminded of "Pennsatucky" from OITNB when I think about Kim Davis?

/revision/latest

[leftofcool]

28. Nope! I love Pennsatucky!

[FrodosPet]

34. I guess I should have added "EARLY" Pennsatucky

Haven't been able to afford NetFlix in a while.

[Jamastiene]

33. Actually, she is starting to redeem herself on that show in the latest season.

Kim Davis, not so much. I don't see any redeeming qualities in Kim Davis. I'm sick of her bullshit.

[FrodosPet]

10. "Our County Clerk, which art in Kentucky, hallowed be thy name"

So is the Worldwide Church Of God going to have to change its name to the Worldwide Church Of Kim?

[silenttigersong]

11. So is Huckabee

saying Kim is a man inside a females body?This religious stuff is all greek to me.

[oberliner]

12. God showed up in the form of Kim Davis?

And this isn't parody?

[damnedifIknow]

13. No real Democrat would get near Huckabee

or any other Republican candidate. I personally would be afraid of getting fleas or some sort of tropical disease.

[silenttigersong]

14. Well

if the persecution becomes overwhelming for her, she can always send her resume to Hobby Lobby. With referances like Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz she will probobly shoot up the ladder: faster then the rapture.

[Initech]

25. Chik-fil-a might be a much more fitting place for her to work.

[smirkymonkey]

15. I don't know whether to laugh my ass off or be completely

horrified. Probably a bit of both. WTF? Kim Davis is god now?

The four of them up their with their hands in the air and all those crosses in the background is just too creepy.

[hobbit709]

16. Considering the alleged powers of any god, one would imagine that any manifestation

would be a little more impressive than that.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

24. If Kim Davis is the best that God can do in terms of a holy envoy

then I'm...........concerned. Also, as a Democrat, I disavow her.

[Orrex]

17. This raises an interesting question, in fact.

Assuming that we don't believe Ms. Davis to be God incarnate, how might we reject Huckabee's claim?

On what possible basis can we reject or accept any person's claim of divinity? What evidence?

[Tanuki]

18. This is rich:

“She cannot allow her name to be associated with something that conflicts with God’s definition of marriage,” Staver said.

How bizarre, considering the fact that she has no problem with signing off on marriage licenses for people who have prior divorces, and is herself wallowing in a biblically adulterous bed.

[RedCappedBandit]

19. If that lady is god's best intervention, he must not be all that godlike.

[mercuryblues]

20. So God shows

up as Kim Davis and what does she do with her new found powers? Heal sick kids? feed the hungry? Noooo, that is so New Testamenty. She uses he power to say she will continue to discriminate and hate.

Huckie, I can tell you why she is registered as a Democrat. Someone was probably already running on the republican ticket for CC. So she had to run on the Dem ticket. Most likely to wrest control of the office away from her family. But don't let that lie from GodKim prevent you from idolizing her.
Why is no one calling her out on that lie?

[Hoppy]

21. God has a sense of humor. Mark Twain said it... "Mary Baker Eddy proves

that God has a sense of humor."

[yuiyoshida]

22. Why, oh why

wasn't TIM TEBOW not there??

[Kelvin Mace]

29. Kim David showed up

and helped underscore your bigotry and hypocrisy.

Way to go God!

[PatrickforO]

31. Celebrating Christian hatred and intolerance.

Very sad to me.

[Jamastiene]

32. Oh, she's a god now?

How quickly these people jump on any bandwagon. They make me sick.

[spanone]

35. huckabee is a big fan of sharia law

[Solly Mack]

36. That would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

[DonCoquixote]

37. and this is why I a sick and tired of Blue Dogs

All it takes is for some preacher to whistle a little Dixie, and they stab us in the back.

[mnhtnbb]

38. I'm surprised she didn't fall down writhing and twisting and talking in tongues since

she's so godly. She belongs to a sect that believes/practices talking in tongues.
Or maybe she's just a false prophet. What do you think of that, Huckster?

[Tanuki]

39. Her handlers no doubt told her not to, since that would turn off

the majority of the Fundamentalists (Baptists, Church of Christ, etc.) who they want to exploit but look down on that sort of thing.

[moondust]

40. Go back to your caliphate, Abu Bakr al-Huckabee.

And keep your nose out of The People's business.
