Title: Sanctimonious Asshat Huckabee Employs "Economic Terrorism"

QuoteBack in 2012, Mike Huckabee came to Chick-fil-A's defense after the restaurant chain faced criticism for its founder's anti-gay statements and for donations the company's foundation had made to anti-gay groups. Huckabee organized a "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" in an attempt to block what he described as "economic terrorism (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/huckabee-obama-calling-michael-sam-sign-americas-utter-collapse)" targeting the company. On his Fox News show, he said he would never call for a boycott of Starbucks, Apple or Amazon even though he disagrees with their leaders' politics.

Huckabee, however, seems to have changed his tune on culture-war boycotts. Time reports that Huckabee has "called on Christians to boycott all snacks made by" Frito Lay after it released limited edition Rainbow Doritos to benefit the anti-bullying It Gets Better Project. Huckabee had demanded that the group apologize and cut its ties with Dan Savage, who founded the anti-bullying group.

Nothing really surprising about this hypocrisy. It's pretty much SOP for Christian Warriors like Mike "threat to your religious freedom" Huckabee. Still, worth a dry smirk, or at least an eye-roll.

If there is a creator god, then he must have put people like this Huckabee on Earth to make other people laugh. Is it even possible that someone could be so blind to their own hypocrisy? Not that he cares, probably...

Those Doritos look tasty.

The Asmo has a far better reason to boycott those: where are the gray ones? HM?! WHERE?!  >:( Such disrespect!  >:(

I recall reading somewhere that Doritos in their original form (ie, pre food-coloring) are indeed gray, though I can't find the source.  If true, it just goes to show that doritos are made in Your Image, but can never be truly replicated without scaring people off. Feel better?

It's always been my position that if Huckabee didn't exist, we'd just have to make him up.

Huckabee's response to the "It Gets Betters" project is to encourage others to "Make it Worse". Quelle surprise.

Let's not forget that he's quite popular in some circles and has millions of viewers on Fox News.  It wouldn't shock me to see him as the VP candidate for the Repugs.

I'm not sure Fuckface I mean Mr. Huckabee would be chosen to run as VP, as he seemed to put his entire leg in his mouth last night tweeting during the debate.

I just don't think the GOP will take a chance with him on the main ticket as he tends to alienate too many people.

Fuckface on Twitter. (http://www.salon.com/2015/10/14/mike_huckabees_disgusting_debate_tweet_racism_exists_because_we_have_a_sin_problem_in_america_not_a_skin_problem/)

If you dig through that web site you come to a guy named Theodore Shoebat. He is a nice looking, reasonably articulate, young man who is waaaaay out in right field. He claims that gay people should be put to death if they fail to accept Christianity, Obama is the actual Satan incarnate....and other crazy shit.
