GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee argued that blacks do not have the right to be US citizens

[UCmeNdc]

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee argued on Wednesday that the 1857 Supreme Court ruling which declared that blacks did not have a right to be citizens was "still the law of the land" even though the 14th Amendment overturned it.

During an interview with radio host Michael Medved that was obtained by BuzzFeed, the former Arkansas governor complained that he had been "drilled by TV hosts" after claiming that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis did not have an obligation to issue same-sex marriage licenses because the Supreme Court's recent decision on marriage equality was not "the law of the land" until lawmakers codified it with legislation.

1. Apparently, my computer clock is about a 160 years off. It says 9/11/2015 ???

[PJMcK]

2. A lack of consistency

Governor Huckabee says that an 1857 Supreme Court decision is the law of the land but a 2015 Supreme Court decision is not the law of the land. His lack of logic is stunning and I'm baffled how his followers manage the cognitive dissonance.

In junior high school civics we learned that the only way to overturn a Supreme Court ruling is by passing a Constitutional Amendment. The Dred Scott decision was the prime example. Did the Governor study civics? Are eighth graders really better educated than he is?

12. Was that a rhetorical question?

My 7th grade son is smarter than Huckabee. I think my dog may give him a run for his money...

20. I don't know if you realize it, but I bet you do, that

when you said this:

I think my dog may give him a run for his money...

you also gave the main reason Huckabee is running for President.

Although I'm sure he would take the job if enough people were stupid enough to vote for him.

On a side note, is "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" still on TV?

3. good thing he's never been a lawyer, cuz that's called flunking constitutional law 101 nt

[gordianot]

4. It is so easy to become immune to the numbing bigotry, stupidity, of Republican outrage.

Huckabee just kicked the twentieth, and twenty-first century in the teeth. He argues in favor of the Dred Scott decision. This man deserves serious scrutiny. His employers or would be donors need to be questioned about what they know about Mr. Huckabee.Obviously he will never be President but Mr. Huckabee exceeds the most hateful segregationist of the 1960's. He is antebellum as if 160 years of American history do not exist. Disgusting

5. Even my not-very-politically-involved friends are noticing Huckabee.

And the consistent comment is "This man was a governor??!!"

Unfortunately, he's making Trump look sane.

[Hortensis]

8. And even honest in Trump's bizarre, as-I-see-the-world-through-me way.

Huckabee's almost literally a snake oil salesman, probably completely amoral. I wonder just how many personality disorders will be represented on that debate stage Wednesday, and which ones they would be.

[leftofcool]

6. Huckleboy doesn't like Black people? I am so shocked!

[Vinca]

7. Huckabee has to say crazy stuff to get attention.

This election cycle his position has been filled by Ben Carson. Huck is treading water until he cooks up a new scheme. I'm betting on a Huckabee/Kim Davis evangelical speaking tour to fleece the dimwits.

[marble falls]

9. And that was crazy. I can't wait until some crazy teabilly trys to gain custody of his "slaves".

[Hortensis]

10. Sorry, I'm out, Vinca. That sounds like a sucker bet.

[Mendocino]

11. HucklePerry Mason

This is what happens when someone who majored in Popular Superstition in college thinks he knows law. Remember too a few days ago he was complaining that Kim Davis couldn't get bail. You can't receive bail on a contempt charge.

[spanone]

13. mikey should be fitted for a rubber room.

he's a christian taliban, crazy as a loon

[randome]

14. With that statement, he is self-destructing, same as the other GOP clowns.

All except for Trump. God, it's a great time to be a Democrat.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Precision and concision. That's the game.[/center][/font][hr]

[Skwmom]

15. The idiot thought that Dred Scott hadn't been overturned - that people just didn't follow it.

Unbelievable.

[retrowire]

16. woooow. mind blown. n/t

[SpankMe]

17. The man is mentally compromised in some way. n/t

[jtuck004]

18. $5 million. His net worth when i ask the google. From that:

"Celebrity Net Worth also estimates that Huckabee is worth $5 million, with an annual salary of $500,000 from his pension, consulting, shows, and book sales. Politician Net Worth estimates his net worth to be just a little bit higher: $7 million, with a salary of $650,000 per year.May 5, 2015"


Really, you wouldn't have to go to college to do this, yes? Adolph did it, and here's this fella.

Could be a nice little part-time income, you don't even need a pickup. Dig up some hate and start manufacturing.

One of many small business owners...

[valerief]

19. Think this "nice man" is trying to stir the racism pot? What an asswipe waste of oxygen. nt

[turbinetree]

21. Lets put this in the context that just maybe he can ...........................

find time to repent.....................which I find to be highly unlikely to do, since he sold his proverbial soul to being a bigot and racist to sell his snake oil medicine , and just maybe he should have this included in his civic lessons of fact.

His brand of Christian values and teachings, subjected a entire race to either conform or die, to speak English, forced to abandon a culture, and many thousands died of chicken pox and other Christan led diseases, and for the greed of silver and gold, and the killing of the buffalo, and outright forced land grab and death marches, and the breaking of nefarious treaties. Yep, his brand of Christians values know what is best for everyone.

22. Its obvious who the GOP base is

since rational people know that the constitution makes A-Yuck-abee a moron.
