Huckabee: Obama Not Scout or Little Leaguer

[RandySF]

Last night on “The O’Reilly Factor,” Mike Huckabee apologized for saying Barack Obama grew up in Kenya, explaining only that he meant that the president isn’t a Real American.

Huckabee: My point, really, even about talking about him raised in a different country, actually Indonesia, not Kenya, as I do understand, again, it’s right there in the book for me to read and anybody else if they care to, but the point that I do want to make is that creates a different worldview. This is not a kid who grew up, you know, going to Boy Scout meetings and playing Little League baseball in a small town.

O’Reilly: He is not a traditional guy; he’s a guy who’s had a lot of life experience that is different from, you know, the mom-and-apple-pie upbringing.

1. A majority of males and 100% of females did not go to boy scout meetings.

That includes loofah man.

2. Not many folks in the holler are Boy Scouts either

[doc03]

3. I wasn't either, does that make me anti-Amurican? nt

4. Most children never belonged to the boy scouts.

5. This kinda talk and being a Mooselem doesnt fair well for Obama

6. Mike, Holy Water and KoolAid is a pretty potent combo, isn't it?

Huck is losing it.

12. Huckabee's not losing it

He's just trying to follow the Karl Rove plan of getting the RWingers together in time for the next election, that's all.

7. Wow! They are so out of ideas, aren't they?

BTW, George Washington? Never a Boy Scout, never played Little League. I guess he didn't have the right worldview either. Why does Huckabee hate George Washington?

8. He also didn't hang, slit the throat of, and stone to death a stray dog...

all while a Boy Scout, btw.

10. mike is choosing the path of gutter politics...fuck you mikey

[hyphenate]

11. Wow

Sounds like I agree with O'Reilly for once!

Incidentally, Boy Scouts is a code word for Xtians. From my understanding, though it was years ago, was that they are largely made up from Xtians, and don't let gays in either, at any level. They also tend to discriminate against those of other religious backgrounds. Maybe Jewish peeps are allowed in, but I wouldn't bet on too many others.

13. Wow, he just majorly insulted my expat kids! It will be news to them that they aren't American!

In fact, they are pretty political. They might want to send Mr. Huckabee a message!

Here is part of our UNAMERICAN Thanksgiving spread that we share with our non-American friends here in the Emirates...

14. ugh, not every kid grows up in a small town and joins the Boy Scouts.

Thank goodness he does have a different worldview.

[Cali_Democrat]

15. I never played Little League baseball or joined the Boy Scouts

And I was born and bred in the USA.

Fuck you, Huckabee.

[Raine]

16. My brother didn't play baseball (he didn't like sports)

and he didn't belong to the boy scouts (we laughingly called them a para-military organization, well it was the late 1960's). I guess my brother's not a real American, aw gee. :-(

17. Can we please get him to shut up?
