Whether for right or wrong, Mike Dukakis was blamed for Willie Horton in 1988

[MrScorpio]

Now twenty-one years later, the karmic worm has turned for another Mike... Huckabee this time.

Some may say not to blame Huckabee for the man who may or may not have shot those four cops. Who knows? But what is well known was this; Huckabee stupidly released countless of dangerous criminals from Arkansasan prisons long before their time.

Once the word got out that he started to release prisoners due to some quirk in his personality to show mercy on people who professed to have some kind of Christian conversion, the cat was let out of the bag.

They had their sucker in the state house. YAY!

Huckabee has blood on his hands. It goes well beyond those four dead cops in Tacoma, WA.

Believe you, me, if Huckaby were instead a Democrat instead of a Republcan, you'd best believe that every single right wing motherfucker would be cursing us all.

The wingers created the standard in 1988, let's hold them to it.

1. It sure looks like the media is holding to that std!

I haven;t seen a single cable news show tonight that hasn't expounded on it! Of course I haven't watched FOX.

2. The Obama campaign could exploit this case for great effect if they had to

If Huckabee was the nominee; and it would be kind of hard to call the Obama campaign racist against black people.

3. A friend of mine put it perfectly

Mike's been Dukakised.

What goes around comes around.

Not that Huckabee ever really had a chance at really being a contender. I do wonder what make him grant this guy clemency, though.

4. The governor had nothing to do with the release of Horton

it was a policy of the Judical System in MA. BUT HUCKABEE personally let the two offenders out, who later went on to kill.

5. What I don't get

is if they have to play the compassionate executive, why release violent animals rather than, say, non-violent drug users?
