Huckabee Not So Funny Anymore

   According to this morning's Denver Post, when Mike Huckabee was speaking in Colorado Springs on Friday (courting James Dobson and his Focusers) he took his right-leaning rhetoric to a new level, not bothering to stop at a repeating of his desire to tack on two new Constitutional amendments (one to ban gay marriage and another to ban abortion), but lumbering on through to unveiling the true right-wing nutjob that I feared lurked within.

   In a comparison that surpassed even former Senator Rick Santorum's lunacy a few years back regarding how the legalization of gay marriage would lead to sanctioned bestiality, Huckabee compared abortion to...slavery!!!

   Uhhhhh...friend?...That is pretty fucking offensive. Regardless of your feelings on abortion-related issues I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to find many sane people that could take that leap. And further, I'd be really surprised if, should he run again for an elected office, he received a single vote from a person of color.
