Found this at ThinkProgress -- Long before Rudy was getting phone calls from Judi, Mike Huckabee took a cell phone call from God. This must be seen to be believed.

4. FLASHBACK: Mike Huckabee’s Phone Call From God

FLASHBACK: Mike Huckabee’s Phone Call From God

Last night at the CNN/YouTube debate, a questioner asked the candidates — “who would call yourselves Christian conservatives” — to answer what would Jesus do about the death penalty. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee jokingly responded, “Jesus was too smart to ever run for public office. That’s what Jesus would do.”

It was fitting that Huckabee be asked what Jesus thinks because, in the past, the former Baptist minister has asserted an ability to talk directly to God.

At a Republican Governors Association Dinner in 2004, Huckabee took the stage and began to deliver remarks when his cell phone rang. He took the phone out of his pocket and proceeded to have a conversation with God about President Bush’s reelection:

HUCKABEE: Hello? I’m sorry. I’m right in the middle of an event. It’s who? It’s God? On the phone for me? How did he get my number? Oh, God has everybody’s number. OK? Yes, I’ll hold.

Huckabee then engaged in a 3-minute back-and-forth exchange with God, in which Huckabee asserted that God was with the Republicans and President Bush:

We’re behind {Bush}, yes, sir, we sure are. Yes, sir, we know you don’t take sides in the election. But, if you did, we kind of think you’d hang in there with us, Lord, we really do.

24. God's for the Republicans? Well, I guess we know how they fixed Ohio in '04 now.

What I wanna know is why the Lord couldn't swing Michigan, too.

[Gonnuts]

6. What Separation of Church and State?

This ass-clown ... as if it wasn't embarrassing enough that we have a pin-head in the Oval Office saying he talks to God - this idiot pulls this crap and of course the "God on our side" morons in the crowd see nothing frighting about this. The rest of the civilized world must think a majority of the American people are as idiotic as this dip-shit that thinks the world is only 6,000 years old.

I swear, it's moments like this that make me think about relinquishing my citizenship and kissing this brain-dead country good-bye.

[ProfessorPlum]

7. Wow, Republican performance art

Never thought I'd see the day.

[balantz]

8. Their god is meaningless to the children of Iraq.

Well, I'll take that back, their god does mean something to those children. I'm sure they know who is watching over them at night.

[TheFarseer]

9. Yikes!

I think even a large percentage of Republicans would run in horror from that. I kinf of liked Huckabee at first but I CAN NOT tolerate that level of religious insanity or the un-Fait Tax.

[ihavenobias]

20. Well

I'd like to think so too but part of me thinks a lot of people will actually LIKE it.

[Buster Schulz]

10. God's call: Have we heard it before from Republicans?

Last night at the Forum, one in the mob stood up with Christian scriptures in hand, and asked if candidates believed the Bible is the word of God.

This morning, NPR ran a clip of Huckabee’s response — paraphrased: “… I believe the Bible is revelation from God… I don’t understand all of it… but yes, it is God’s revelation.”

The good Pastor believes the Bible to be God’s revelation, but admits he doesn’t get it — or some of it.

In other words, God’s revelations are incoherent, or not intended to be understood by Pastor Huckabee.

How do voters even consider electing a President who testifies to believing in what he does not understand?

Call it faith?

[madeline_con]

14. That's a bunch of humility bullshit.

He's trying like hell to understand, but he's only human. :puke:

[Dollface]

11. I missed the part where god says go blow the crap out of Iraq

and follow it up with some torture in honor of the Prince of Peace.

:puke:

[graywarrior]

12. Hokey fuck, ain't he.

[madeline_con]

13. What a p.o.s.

and presumptuous, like God would have anything to do with these idiots! :puke:

[Sam Ervin jret]

15. Just what the world needs! Another idiot who thinks he's on God's speed dial.

And this one really would have weapons of mass destruction. This so called preacher of the word of GOD ran out of God's words long ago. It's been all his own crap for years.

Self serving
Self aggrandizing
Self Promoting

16. How very odd

When God calls me, she has a different message entirely,
and she never calls when I'm busy doing something else,
almost like she knows already when it's convenient and
when it isn't. Oh, and she HATES being called "sir," so
I'm skeptical if that's who Huckabee was really talking
to. He was probably really talking to Dick Cheney or
Karl Rove, which would explain why he couldn't tell the
difference.

[cooolandrew]

18. I think he's really milking the christian angle myself, it more questions his sincerity to me.

[DuaneBidoux]

19. He may be a Republican but thank you you you're an American

[L. Coyote]

21. God called. Okay, if god was overseas, let's hear the FISA recording.

We all wanna hear her voice too! :rofl:

[lumpy]

22. Disgusting display - Not funny at all.

Good grief, are all the Republican candidates not wrapped tight? Wee don't need any more jokers in the White House.

[CalebHayes]

23. Is this that Republican running for Prez that used to be a actor?

lol
