That was very good,he has an audience that we don't reach that needs to get that message.

I'm no Huck fan but the more the merrier on this issue.

WTF did this really just happen.

WTF did this really just happen.

Got a serious problem when even the "law and order" crowd like Huck and National Review start sounding off about this.

It's too late ... That's why Obama spoke out against it, because he is not yet ready to show us what his militarization of the police force has come too. But it exists in every little city and town where you live. When Obama's extremist muslim brothers (who he has opened the doors too), get control of this force; we will look just like Iraq... even worse. It is seriously time to seriously think about leaving the former U.S.A.

People here will always criticize Huckabee, but he's been sounding pretty decent on civil liberties issues recently. He also opposes the NSA surveillance program and the TSA pat downs. Ironically, it's his economic policy where he's the least libertarian.

he was also on Fox & Friends earlier today talking about police militarization

Why is this front page material? Give me an f'ing break. Is RPF becoming The Blaze light or something....

He was sitting by as the "guest on deck" on Fox while the press conference was queing up in Ferguson. He became nothing but a back drop. He was put off time and again as the conference was delayed, interrupted, etc. I think this showed him where the attention is at. As a politician he is following up and trying to capitalize on it. Good.

Only reason the Huckster did this is because Rand did. This just tells me he is running in 16.

I criticize Huckabee because I know that if, in the next 24 hours, there is some "terror" attack, he will throw all that talk of "civil liberties" out the window and join the crowd talking about how "we have to give up some freedom to be safe".

I can count on the fingers of one hand, the political and talking head figures that will not.

Bongo. Huck is a shyster. As I detailed above. I was watching that broadcast and he just could not stand to take a back seat. The wind is blowing this way. Until it blows the other way.

Maybe, but when he does that, we can criticize him. He deserves credit for what he said tonight. He even brought up some of the incidents that people have brought up here, like the baby who was hurt badly by the grenade police officers threw in his crib.

Yeah, great, I'm glad that he did, hopefully it will shift some of the "law and order" Faux news crowd.

Huckabee is a joke.

 

[Brett85]

Huckabee is a joke.

So we can't disagree with him on Iraq but agree with him on the militarization of the police?

The man is a charlatan. He's swinging his tiny dick in whatever way the political winds are blowing. Are you so naive as to not see this?

 

[mad cow]

And many Lib sites claim that the only reason Rand did it was to steal the thunder from Hank Johnson.

Sheesh,can't we all just be happy that this message is getting out to a wider and wider audience?

Do you have a video or some link which shows that Huckabee flip flopped on this and at one time supported the militarization of the police?
