Huckabee Screws the Pooch

What David Gold said:

People shouldn't compare any situation to the Holocaust . I understand Huckabee's remarks. He means well. But, this just shouldn't be said. Nazi metaphors just don't work.

Huckster means well. He is a friend of Israel. But, this line is off center.

==============================================================================================================================================
My response:

I agree. Nothing in history is like the Holocaust.

Russia post wwii was horrific. China has been pure evil that jockeys for position with Germany.

But the holocaust is one of a kind in history and is beyond vicious in its hatred of the Jews.

But I think it's time to cut back on the Hitler, Nazi, and SS comparisons. They have become cliche and that is an unforgivable dodge ... a bogeyman that too easily
made trivial because of the tendency to apply it to to situations almost arbitrarily.

Could not agree more!

The fact of the matter is that the Holocaust is ongoing right now....70 years after the world collectively said, "Never again."

What Isis is doing is not one bit different than what the Nazis did.

And Iran (with Obama's assistance) will only continue and expand what Isis is doing.

Wrong David Gold, Greg. This one was a talk show host on Dallas radio many years ago. I don't know what he's doing now.

Heh, thanks Sue. David has retired due to medical reasons as he can't hear very well anymore. His facebook page is pretty much an extension of his talk show. I enjoy reading his comments.

So sorry to hear about his medical problems. He gave testimony at a church I used to belong to. I got to tell him he wasn't the jerk he sounded like when he first started his radio show. He said he got that comment a lot. Seemed like a good guy. I really enjoyed when he did trivia and talking about wine.

agree Mark , and looks like Huckabee isn't backing down , I heard him a little while ago and he said that he won't apologize and he is sticking to his words .

[jellowrestling]

I think Huckabee was off-base on this one. He clearly should equate Obama (and his pet monkey, Kerry) with Neville Chamberlain. He's not walking Israel to the gas chamber, he's merely giving Iran the Zyklon B and saying, "Now, I'm sure you will be responsible with this", and turning his back. Big difference. Huck should know better.

Interesting that the Huckster says he has been to Auschwitz 3 times. Stood by the ovens. Who goes there 3 times? Is there that much to see that it takes 3 trips? Or was it some kind of a wing nut fundamentalist religious thing to speed up the Rapture?

Thank you Donald Trump..for showing the rest of these bums how it's done, and to grow, and KEEP, a spine.

[ralph]

who is it that declares that 'nazi' comparisons don't work on this or other situations ?? I don't know why those lefty declarations should be listened to . Last night lefty 'grealdo' trying to get 'Huckabee ' to apologize . I think its a great analogy and hope to hear more like it .

[ralph]

and yeah , I also think that the Trump is influencing a few in the 'rino' ranks .

Me for one. The Huckster says: His foreign policy is the most feckless in American History. Feckless is one of those namby pamby negative terms that means you don't like or agree with something.
He thinks it is naive to trust Iran. There is no need to. Verification has been built in. If he's going to claim verification won't work, it's up to him to explain why and back it up with opinions of some people who are knowledgable in such areas.

Most times the comparison is silly..this one works.

I don't trust shia muslims that run iran gov and society , I don't trust their taqiya and their way of doing things . Only good thing is that its probably going to take time for 'irans' deceit to affect the USA so its probably a next generation problem . KKerry is 70 years old , he's probably not worried about the affect of the treaty and mrobama and family can easily live anywhere in the world .

[planosteve]

If you could only have agreements with people you could trust the only ones we would have would be with Canada.
The benefits have already started and it hasn't even been signed yet. Cheap gas baby! Cheap gas!

[ann jusko]

Anyone see any poll numbers on the Iranian deal? A majority of Americans are against it. But of course, given Planosteve's dislike of Israel, he isn't one of them. So, he'll find an obscure poll taken God knows where, that'll be against it.

[ralph]

I think that can be expanded to the Western world rather than just Canada Steve . Most of the WESTERN World is / was allied to the USA so they can be tusted as they are watched . shia muslims that are running iran though , I wouldn't trust them . Like I say though , this treaty is probably a problem for the next generations in the USA and Western world . [imo]

[planosteve]

If we trusted them we wouldn't need a written agreement. Barak could just call them up and say "hey what's shakin?" I'm fine. Say, if you don't mind could you sort of cool it with the H-bomb thing your building? Ok fine. Preciate ya.

[ralph]

written agreements mean nothing to shia muslims [taqiya practitioners' and that's part of their charm !!

It's no wonder with the broadside of propaganda and outright lies that have been spewed out the last few weeks. Gobbels was right. It's not a matter of liking Israel. They have been lying to us every since the Carter Administration that they would agree to a two state solution and it's now chrystal clear to anyone who can reason that they have no intention of ever allowing that.

If it's a good agreement it will include penalities if it is abrogated. Has nothing to do with their religious beliefs.
