Huckabee’s Orwellian view of “evidence”
… in that “lack of evidence” somehow constitutes “proof of existence”. Or at the very least, lack of evidence on something shouldn’t keep one from believing in something. Huck seems pretty convinced that there were WMD’s in Iraq. From TP:
I don’t have any evidence. [Saddam] was the one who announced openly he had weapons of mass destruction.

Did they go some other place? We don’t know. They may not have existed. But simply saying — we didn’t find them so therefore they didn’t exist — is a bit of an overreach.

And I’m simply saying that because when we went in we didn’t find them, everybody wants to criticize the president and say, oh, the president lied to us. The president didn’t lie to us. The president acted on information that he had, that he believed, and intelligence services believed that they were weapons of mass destruction.
I can see why he’s a young earth creationist, believing in something else that has absolutely no evidence (and plenty to the contrary). I don’t know what’s worse, that or the idea that he actually trusts Bush. Yet another Republican Hack Who Will Never Be President®. There’s just so many I can barely keep track of ‘em.

The growing evidence for Huckabee’s latent sympathies for neo-Confederate groups and their icons won’t be doing him much good, even if it does shore up support from the Republican base in White Nationalist community. Signaling agreement with anti-civil rights actions, such as the flying of the Confederate flag in 1962 in South Carolina as a response to the rights movement, along with the sodomistic imagery ought to make Huckabee a natural as guest of honor for the next SVR/LoS North-South Secession Summit.
Yeah, Huckabee’s actions have mademe think of SVR lately.
