“out of children wedlock.”

Oops, we’re all out of children.

As an aside, someone might wanna remind Huck that most of the out-of-wedlock baby makin’ is happening not in Hollywood, but in the most right-wing states.

That’s a great idea, but no one who actually talks to Huckabee knows this fact, or would do something as embarrassing as mentioning it to his face.

Maybe the next time he goes on The Daily Show, Stewart will shove this into his slick gullet.

Well, in the Huck-a-buck’s (minimal) defense – at least he’s talking about a real live person instead of a TV character.

Which is probably the intelligence difference between Huck-a-buck and Quayle

Creepy old men should not concern themselves with young girls’ vaginas.

Ummm … that photo is of Dan “Deer in the Headlights” Quayle, NOT Mike Huckabee.

Good point about Bristol Palin.

Huckabee does have a point, however. Celebrity and wealthy children notwithstanding, on average the children of single parents are much more likely to grow up in poverty than children in 2 parent families.

I wonder what the out-of-wedlock birth rate was in AR while he was governor, and how that compared to the national average.

If Huckabee had any sense of morals, or were capable of being shamed, he wouldn’t have had Wayne DuMond freed just to spite Bill Clinton.

The shamlelessness rate was stratospheric, and he raised it all by himself.

Rs are determined to shrink the size of govt until it fits inside a woman’s uterus.

Would a Republican know what do with it once it fits there?

Mississippi’s rate was more than 60 percent higher than the national average in 2006, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The teen pregnancy rate in Texas and New Mexico was more than 50 percent higher.

The three states have large proportions of black and Hispanic teenagers — groups that traditionally have higher birth rates, experts noted.

Funny they always mention race never poverty teen pregnancy is GOP code for Liberal Family Values but its also GOP Code for Dark People. Any bets that if poverty is taken into consideration Whites, African Americans and Hispanics out of wedlock baby numbers start to look the same?
sigh another topic to research that the MSM won’t touch.

How did it compare to the years Clinton was Governor and President?

Mike Huckabee criticized Natalie Portman’s presentation of her single motherhood during Sunday’s Oscar ceremony

So he’s saying it’s OK to be a closeted unwed pregnant woman or single mom, but just don’t flaunt it?

“She just looks so pregnant, and there’s obviously no ring on her left hand. She’s just shoving her pregnancy right in our faces!”

Uh, Mike? That’s kind of what happens with pregnant women — even the unwed ones. They get big.

And that’s a good thing. You might even say it’s what God intends to happen with pregnant women.

Make her carry it to term regardless of whether her life is threatened. Once she gives birth, the Rs will kill it.

Which is kind of the point.

Mike is clearly putting on his best “Dan Quayle” disguise . . .

1. Who cares?
2. My understanding is that Portman is getting married soon anyway, which is certainly more than what happened with Bristol Palin… just saying….
3. Who cares?
4. I confess to be being blindsided by this “utterance” of the Huckster, as my “bet” was that all the Rs & dittoheaded mouthpieces would be all up in arms over Charles Ferguson’s comment upon winning Best Documentary for Inside Job. To whit:

Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that’s wrong,Ferguson said.

5. Mooaaarrr Charlie Sheen, please… /s (no thanks, not really)

P.S. the huckster has proven his absurb idiocy this week, hasn’t he?

These days, anybody’s children are more likely to grow up in poverty.

For what it’s worth: I went to college with John Mark Huckabee … at Ouachita Baptist University in the late ’90s. John Mark had the biggest porn magazine collection on campus and used to delight his nerd-friends by reading aloud Penthouse Letters he composed and submitted for publication. Not sure if any of them were ever published…

http://wonkette.com/334963/huckabees-other-son-loves-him-some-porno

Any chance Huckabee’s son wrote a Penthouse fantasy letter about Natalie Portman?

Back when Huck was obese he might not have been so judgmental about the size of a pregnant woman. Back then people would just say “Awww ignore Huckabee the big fat hillbilly, what does he know”? Now that he’s re-writing the childhood of the President to fit his hillbilly racist imagination, people say “Aww that skinny inbred hillbilly what does he know, f**k’n shitheel”.

Yeah, Natalie Portman was pretty much the shoe-in favorite to get the Best Actress Award, but bc of fools like the Huckster, Portman shoulda stayed at home hanging her head in shame.

Hey: it’s like abortion & gay marriage. If these foolish conservatives are gonna be so “shaken” by witnessing an “unwed mother” like Portman, then here’s a clue: just don’t watch the d*mn Oscar ceremony! Quite simple: like if you think abortion is wrong, don’t get one. If you disagree with gay marriage, then avoid marrying someone of your same gender.

doh! (but of course, that avoids the ability to dominate & control the rubes, I know).

1. Who cares?

Huckabee wants to be President his position on the issues should be examined a Huckabee Presidency means no abortion and probably cuts in aid to unwed mothers, plus no sex ed in school which will cause more unwed mothers and spread STDS.
Plus Huckabee is showing us the GOP election plan forget talking about issues like jobs, saving people’s homes or ending the wars.
Nope Morals is the issue Morals is GOP code for ( African Americans, Hispanics, Gays Womenm are wrecking America).

I don’t know why Huckabee is so upset that they did not get an abortion.

When the GOP brings out the Dan Quayle playbook especially after how well the Murphy Brown thing worked for them last time one has to wonder just what the GOP is smoking?
Newt is expected to make Morals an issue for his Presidential Campaign to so I guess the GOP’s Borg Hive mind has made its choice on the matter. I expect all the GOPers to follow Newt and Huckabee.

Very nice Point:)

Chastity belts are the answer for Republican concerns over out-of-wedlock births. As long as they control the locks.

Eh – I agree. He’s running for POTUS, so we should know about the Huckster’s judgemental, controlling but just plain wrong pronouncenents. My comment was aimed *at* Huckabee, not *at* this post. Just to be clear…

Any pictures of Fat Huckabee and Natalie maybe Huckabee is angry because a Pregnant Natalie is still smaller than he was when he was fat?
I hope Newt and Rush join in the criticism of Natalie they both are still fatter than her when she is pregnant and I bet she doesn’t eat fast food much.

I expect all the GOPers to follow Newt and Huckabee…. like lemmings over a cliff.

Hope ya don’t mind my addition to your good comment.

Its cool:)

Great Work like that feel free!

Sarah has been getting on Michelle Obama about fast food. There was and still is a controversy about Sarah not looking pregnant at all then mysteriously giving birth ( maybe the Holy Spirt was involved?).
Having seen just how big two teen girls got being pregnant working at McDonalds I wonder if Sarah ate fast food at all during her pregnancy?
If fast food is so safe would Sarah be interested in a film project Idea I have been working on?
Its called I’m Pregnant so Super Size Me! ( McDonalds is part of a healthy diet so what happens to a pregnant woman if she eats nothing but McDonalds every day of her Pregnancy?)
I want Sarah or Bristol to be the stars of this Flick! Although I fear some backlash by people concerned about what might happen to the baby.

According to the Huckle-fuck, you shouldn’t have sex if you’re not married. Even when you’re in a commited, long term relationship.

Shorter Huckle-fuck – “Read the bible! It tells you what to do!”

On an aside, since Huckle-fuck says “no sex before marriage” and “no gay marriage”, does that mean his fellow GOP politicians that ARE gay shouldn’t be having sex? Or is it okay for the ones like Larry Craig, who ARE married, they’re just not having sex with their spouse?

Maybe I can get some Koch Brothers funding for this project?

But…but…he didn’t name Bristol!

I’m confused.

Does God forgive your being an unwed mother if your Mom thinks that Mary and Joseph rode into Bethlehem on the back of that Stegosaurus, and that God wanted us to invade Iraq and build that big natural gas pipeline across Canada?

Seven out of ten African-American babies are now born out of wedlock. black children raised by a single parent are much more likely to live in poverty, drop out of school, become addicted, or eventually be incarcerated. Well meaning liberal Great Society social and welfare programs have accomplished something even that slavery was unable to do — and that’s destroy the African-American family. Unwed motherhood may be fine for trendy white Hollywood starlets who make lots of money playing sluts on TV or in the movies, but for most single girls who get pregnant the outcome is not so rosy. Huckabee and Quayle were right.

Looking at Huckabee I think a no sex even if you are married would be the best policy.

Don’t these shitheads ever get tired of being, ya know, shitheads?

Hey Chucklehead: Why don’t you jump into the same rathole you dragged your sorry ass out of?

Sorta looks like The Huck thinks family values and morality will propel his presidential launch (like Newt). Stick a fork in him, he’s done. Next!

I wore black socks yesterday and didn’t get cancer. Therefore, wearing blacks socks is a cancer vaccination.

Way to go harvey headbanger wallbanger, 1st price in the full of shit sweepstakes.

He just keeps steppin’ in it…grrrreat judgment…moron.

BTW, lots of gays and lesbians have wonderful families and are bringing up great kids ‘out of wedlock’ because…well, because they still can’t get married.

(Go to Castro & 18th in San Francisco and you’ll be run over by a stroller or baby carriage.)

Confuse cause with outcome Much? Poverty causes men to not be able to marry even if they want to even in 100% moral Catholic countries. Read Swift’s ” A Modest Proposal “. The idea that morals can stop sex hasn’t ever worked Prudish Victorian England had an age of consent of 12 and the first Serial Killer targeting working girls Jack the Ripper remember Conservatives love the old days because they were so moral.
Also I plan on digging through the numbers later its a busy day, but any bets that poverty among Whites leads to unwed babies being born at numbers similar to Dark People?
A far as going to jail goes for drugs etc lets remember Jon McCain’s wife had enough drugs to get my entire High School High but she did no time. Rudy’s state Presidential campaign chair that millionaire kid who got busted with a half kilo of coke I think is already out of jail. Money buys justice in America claiming poor people go to jail more is true but claiming they are less moral is false.
Between billions stolen by banks, and Bushie/Obama people torturing people the Poor if anything are more moral than our elite ruling class Dem and GOP.

Bowl?

You are cracking me up over here.

Let it go, TCU. This hack has been around for the last few days, and will do nothing but exasperate you.

Who made Huckabee the reproduction police? Oh yeah, he wants to make it a job requirement before he tries out for the job. FAIL

From the Huckster’s office:

Natalie is an extraordinary actor, very deserving of her recent Oscar and I am glad she will marry her baby’s father. However, contrary to what the Hollywood media reported, I did not “slam” or “attack” Natalie Portman, nor did I criticize the hardworking single mothers in our country. My comments were about the statistical reality that most single moms are very poor, under-educated, can’t get a job, and if it weren’t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death. That’s the story that we’re not seeing, and it’s unfortunate that society often glorifies and glamorizes the idea of having children out of wedlock.”

“Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can’t get a job, and if it weren’t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care.

Which gives us a damn good reason to cut off funding to organizations like Planned Parenthood, right Chucklehead?

Fuckin’ idiot.

Huckabee and Quayle were right.

We should blame the teachers, and hold their sorry asses responsible for not teaching this!

/s

Well meaning liberal Great Society social and welfare programs have accomplished something even that slavery was unable to do — and that’s destroy the African-American family.

Nope the Reagan era destruction of Union jobs did that think of it this way when my dad was a kid highschool dropouts could get jobs in steel mills and after a few years they were all driving Caddies.
Since Reagan about the only highschool dropouts driving caddies are drug dealers. We choose what kind of society we live in we are all our brothers keeper and when a society forgets that and instead blames the poor for being poor instead of helping them then societies fail. Jared Diamond has some great books on the subject.

Well, after an initial explosion of teen pregnancy, AIDs, and drug-dependent children, they’ll all die off. Because we’re going to cut funding for food stamps, Medicare, welfare, etc. You’ll see. In the long run, it’ll be great!

/Huckle-fuck

TCU! Let it go. Harvey the Wallmolester cannot be swayed. He’s only here to agitate and annoy.

if it weren’t for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death

Which is the conservative argument for cutting government assistance. If people don’t have to struggle, they don’t improve.

We can’t let GOP talking points go unchallenged some people might think that we do so because they are right.

Well meaning liberal Great Society social and welfare programs have accomplished something even that slavery was unable to do — and that’s destroy the African-American family.

Also, the poor people buying homes caused the Financial Arson of 2008. And liberals killed 51 million babies and they will all burn in hell.

It is always the poor and their defenders who are to blame. That is the narrative of the Koch Whores such as yourself. The Wall Street Warmongers and Fraudster Bankers are totally responsible for the increasing poverty. Their plan is to make us all poor by bankrupting us with permanent wars and economic depression. It is called Class War.

Hmm, I choose not to respond to commenter wallbanger, but it seems this person’s posts are taken directly from a crib sheet or other cue (the back of a tea box?). Too pat. Bogs down the thread with endless disputation, over arguments already well covered, but that’s perhaps the intention?

Oh, that’s not ALL s/he’s done. S/he’s proved an old saying is true once again, and for that the wallmolester deserves some credit. I always like when old sayings are borne true.

The old saying I’m thinking of???

“You can remain silent and others may wonder if you’re an idiot, or you can speak and remove all doubt.”

Jared Diamond has some great books on the subject.

Don’t assume everyone can read.

I see your point. Carry on the good fight, TCU :)

You win!

I think it’s unfortunate that people conceived in wedlock sometimes turn out to be Huckabees and such.

Now you’re cracking me up over here!

;P

This is one hell of a decay spiral. Only paleo-con/neo-liberals would see this as a success to systematically neglect to death all the handicapped, sick and older population not working in the multinational corporate mills while attempting to drive to a young, ignorant slave population to feed the MIC. “Privatization” and “globalization” have almost completed destroyed the value of the American worker within this virulent paradigm of international crony capitalism. And you know what? I think this is just the point (see “John Perkins – An Economic Hitman on Predatory Capitalism & Corporate Monopoly,” Feb. 17, 2011).

The Argument is the poor should just roll over and die if they can’t find a job. The poor white voters who back the GOP think that its only the poor dark people the GOP is talking about. But looking at other Countries without to many minorities we can see the rich in every country feel the poor regardless of color should all die and not expect the rich to lift a hand to save them.

I was in prison, sick, poor etc and you helped me that which you do to the least of my brothers is that which you do onto me. ( JC paraphrased ) Just what part of America being a Chrsitian Nation doesn’t the GOP understand?/s
Did Jesus ever stop hanging with Mary Magdalene? Did Jesus ever tell her to get a real job or give her cash so she didn’t have to work?
I’m sure if Jesus had the cash he would have but he didn’t. Also medicine in the Roman Empire was advanced enough to cause abortions Israel was part of the Empire and Mary certainly would have had a few abortions but Jesus says nothing about abortion does he?
Jesus lets face it was born of a single mom who ok rushed into a marriage.

eCHAN says the same thing to me about assuming everyone engages in logical thinking:)

I sure wish/hope/pray/crossmyfingers that someone will take BT’s point about Bristol Palin this week, while the topic is fresh, and confront the Huckster to get him to either condemn Palin as well, or, better, give some bullshit reason why IOKIYAR.

That would be must see TV IMO.

Funniest Thing I heard this Week! Ok I’m gone bye!

Yeah. Stop feedin’ ‘em, stop treatin’ ‘em, make ‘em work harder, and don’t give them pensions, welfare, right to organize, Medicare, Social Security. That’ll maybe git rid of ‘em for ya. Heyell, stirlize ‘em afor they breed. Then ya won’t have to worry ’bout that abortion problem you people seem to have.

Believe me, Huck knew what he was doing. It’s a shot at the Palins, no doubt.

Heh, the sterilize comment always makes me think of their irrational fear of teh gay. What, do they think they’re going to breed and take over the world????

Ding!!

Hey Huck! Who asked man? Mind your own f*cking business Hillbilly boy.

They are afraid they might like it.

I hadn’t thought of it that way.

I hope we get a Sarah response via facebook!

Well meaning liberal Great Society social and welfare programs have accomplished something even that slavery was unable to do.

Wow. At once, accusation, understanding, and insult: 40 years of liberal programs ineptly applied are more destructive than 400 years of slavery and discrimination, and: liberals aren’t actively evil-they didn’t wreak this havoc on purpose-but are simply well-meaning dupes. So: liberals are stupid, oblivious, genocidal racists, and they mean well, but will destroy everything, if right-thinking, God-fearing Americans let them.
Hmmm. It’s a very short step from there to calling for 2nd Amendment remedies, isn’t it?
This troll has some skills. My compliments-definitely a cut above the troll traffic you’ve been getting lately, Blue Texan. You’re moving up in the world.

Well then he must NOT be running for Prez then, cause taking shots at teh Palin’s is no way to win teabaggers batshitcrazies the GOP nomination.

Oh, wait. In a game of one-upmanship by the people who have nothing to do with unwed mothers, let’s hear from Meghan McCain! I wonder what she thinks…

Yes, I love that one. Liberals destroyed African-American families, which is why something like 90% of blacks vote Democrat.

Repubs…stop attacking everyone other than white males.

Middle-aged, heterosexual, middle- or upper-class white males.

A big tell is the choice to use the word “wedlock” of all possible words in the English language Venn Diagram of conceptual tags.

and Christian.

I think there’s blood in the water, and he senses it. She’s flailing. Plus, he can get away with it, since he’s One of Them.

OTOH, Willard can’t.

“‘Straight’ male, pale and stale with lots ‘o cheddar” is what leaps to mind. Shrubya publicly admitted his Xtian status was just a ploy.

Interesting to see if Portman’s baby grows up and tells an old Huckabee to fuck off.

Ewwwww.

I doubt anything “leaps”…heh

Pun-ishment by alliteration has its risks and its rewards. ;-) { evil theatrical laugh } And one cannot discount the utility of metaphor. Minds are an amazing thing …

Thanks for reminding me of that.

I hope this gets a lot of attention, because it’s just the sort of idiocy that can doom his candidacy… (which sort of rhymes).

There is no way Mike Huckabee’s positives are going to outweigh Natalie Portman’s! As for negatives, well, who do you think has more people that loathe them — him or Ms. Portman?

These right-wingers have no class, and you know, they really are pretty dumb.

Mike, please, keep speaking your mind. Let it all out.
