Cynthia Tucker wrote a piece in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, entitled VP Huckabee is a sincerely scary prospect.

Here's what Cynthia Tucker wrote:

"Look more closely. He is even scarier than Dick Cheney.

Cheney has merely subverted the U.S. Constitution; he hasn't actually tried to rewrite the founding document to restrict human rights or civil liberties." ...

Huckabee, by contrast, would not merely use the issue (gay marriage) as a wedge. He believes what he says. Campaigning in Michigan last month, he declared his strong support for constitutional amendments banning abortions and gay marriage."

and quotes him:

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee said. "But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that's what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."

And so, what is possibly the only conclusion a Bill O'Reilly can come up with after reading the piece:

She wrote that Huckabee is "unfit to be even Vice-President, because of his faith in God."

1. Whatever you say O'Loofalafel.

:crazy:

2. WHEN FASCISM COMES TO AMERICA

it will come draped in a flag and carrying a cross.

No truer words ever spoken, and nothing scarier

3. And also spouting conclusions that have no detectable

relationship to the premises stated or are based on bizarre and completely indefensible accusations. Where did Cynthia Tucker say that he didn't deserve to be prez because of his "faith in God"? That's one of biggest leaps of logic (loosely defined) I've seen in a long time, not that it makes much difference to Billo.

5. 'Logic.' O'Reilly is the inverse of logic, just like today's conservatives.

4. Unfit to be even Vice-President, because of his faith in God.

Yup. That kind of faith should disqualify one for ANY public life. Except the guy on the street corner screaming at passers-by.
