is way overblown, but I see how it could be considered hate speech or anti-Semitic. Not even close. He's a fucking idiot who couldnt evaluate a deal with Iran if his life depended on it, but he doesnt hate the Jews.
I dsiagree with Huckabee about it being a bad deal
I think it's a very good deal. Having said that, if one is of the opinion that it's an atrocious deal, I think the analogy is appropriate. Iran having a nuclear bomb would have unbelievably devastating consequences for Israel.
Israel already has nukes. Why would Iran risk certain
annihilation to lob one at Israel? Would could they possibly gain? And Israel has access to US tracking systems. They would know in advance it was coming.
Here's the American Bar Association definition of hate speech that I think applies:"Hate speech is speech that offends, threatens or insults groups based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or other traits." You could have pointed out omission of examples of this kind of slander against President Bush without resorting to the "disingenuous motherfucker" language but in any case you are absolutely correct that is equally offensive and wrong. But this tactic has become persistent and prevalent in Republican Party rhetoric.
"Offends" is in the ears of the beholder. That definitioncould define support of gay sex as hate speech since it offends some religious groups.
The clown car is overheating with so many occupants
What is more concerning will their proxy's use of conventional weapons, including more accessible ballistic weapons. Some aspects of the deal may make Hamas Hezbollah more of a threat.
Huckabee - another salvo in the idiot-fest that is known as American politics.
As such, he's occasionally going to say stupid preacher crap in public that should be reserved solely for the pulpit, where such hyperbole is expected as a means of stirring the congregation.
Less relevant is how public opinion in NA and Israel is being toyed with and more relevant is Israel's security experts' view. I'm sure it's not monolithic -- but way more nuanced and important than polling.
I did not say this stuff is exclusive to the GOP. I said it is more prevalent and I'll stand by that.
I'll also stand by the statement about hate speech. Jews, Holocaust families, Israelis are groups members of which would find the Huckabee statement offensive, and, in some cases, threatening. Doesn't have to be unanimous, either. I'm pretty sure Sheldon Adelson thought the statement was just fine.

between using Hitler, Nazi's. & the Holacaust for political points and me wishing someone who I don't like bad things then you are full of shit because I'd bet most here don't turn the other cheek and forgive everyone that has ever wronged them. I read the responses here to bad things that happen in the world and all those that want 5 minutes alone with them or things that you wish on them

How did the statement insult any group? People may not like it and think it's inflammatory, but it doesn't insult anyone. Well, maybe the Iranians.
Guy like Huckabee clearly wants to be president very badly. Participating in multiple elections, spending years of his life at considerable cost to his family.....
And we wind up with very tasteless sound bites? Dismissing him as a simple moron doesn't cut it. More likely, the process just brings out the very worst in people.
he's overly religious and dismissive towards women and he's not above taxing and spending, so financially he's not really a conservative. I'm not really sure the appeal to anyone.

You've posted on 3 BBI threads that are active, in two of them you've bemoaned the amount of liberals on this board, and in the other you've made some kind of comment about the tightness of her "caboose". What a useful contributor to life you are.
you're polling pretty low right now. Your recent retard comments should disqualify you from seeking any position of responsibility -- well, except the board room of Trump Inc.
your sensibilities? Give me your email address and cell phone number, I'll run everything by you first
See? This. This is why.
You make this statement in a thread that you started because someone else offended your sensibilities and you don't even seem to have the slightest hint of how asinine it is for you to do it.
Go study some other period of history, you lazy slackers.

You made dumb and doubled down on it.
And then tripled down on it.
See? This. This is why.
You make this statement in a thread that you started because someone else offended your sensibilities and you don't even seem to have the slightest hint of how asinine it is for you to do it.
It's not the substance of your posts, it's the hypocrisy contained within that are objectionable.
You call out someone for doing X and then turn right around and do X yourself.
That's the fucking point.
