David Huckabee
During his father's 2008 presidential campaign, both Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times reported that the younger Huckabee had been dismissed as a Boy Scout camp counselor in 1998.[13][14] Huckabee, then 17, was alleged to have been involved in the hanging of a stray dog.[13]
When an animal rights group sought records from the Arkansas state police the request was denied. John Bailey, the then-police chief reported that "
Mike Huckabee's) chief of staff and personal lawyer both pressured him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor's request."[13] Mike Huckabee fired Bailey seven months later. In December 2007, Bailey told Newsweek that the governor told him "I've lost confidence in your ability to do your job" and "I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had that problem."[13]
Mike Huckabee flatly denied Bailey's account.[13] He insisted his son did not engage in "intentional torture." A campaign official said that David Huckabee "regrets the incident."[13]
--and--
Huckabee was arrested at 6:00 AM,[15] on April 26, 2007, for attempting to board a plane departing from Little Rock, Arkansas, with a loaded Glock handgun.[16] A misdemeanor charge was brought against him for "attempting to carry a gun in a prohibited place." Huckabee had a concealed-weapon permit at the time of the incident and said he forgot about the weapon in his luggage. A Little Rock Police lieutenant was quoted as saying, "It is not unusual for people to forget they have a gun in their carry-on luggage."[15] He entered a guilty plea with the court.[16] He received a one-year suspended sentence with 10 days of community service.[17]

He hangs with Ted Nugent. He has zero right to declare what music is wholesome or not.

He's one to talk about what goes in kids' heads. Wasn't his son a brutal torturer of dogs?
