Mike Huckabee dupes his TV audience to go to his PAC

Don't you just love those religious conservatives when they talk about their religious convictions one day and dupe people the next?

Media Matters:

On two Fox News shows, Fox host Mike Huckabee directed viewers to "go to balancecutsave.com," urging them to sign a petition telling Congress to "balance the budget," "cut their spending," and "save American families"; however, balancecutsave.com redirects visitors to a web page soliciting donations for Huckabee's political action committee, which financially supports Republican candidates and also pays Huckabee's daughter's salary. Huckabee is the latest Fox News personality to ask viewers to visit PAC websites without disclosing the website's nature or whether they stand to gain financially from viewers' donations

Myabe the FTC can apply the same standards to these creeps as they do to bloggers. Huckabee should be required to disclose his own PAC to his viewers.

Don't you just love those religious hucksters conservatives when they conceal talk about their religious derision convictions one day and continue to dupe people the next?

Fixed it.

This is plain old Bait/Switch, the typical MO for PUKIES, nothing new here. Huckleberry is the funniest of the neoNAZIcons to put himself on center stage. He and Palin would make a great match.

Maybe Mr. F*ckabee should worry about saving his first?

I wonder which one of them had dibs on the dog? You know someone has eaten him by now and they've probably started on each other.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

It is amazing that no one ever catches up with these guys in a legal sense. It seems that they get to run around doing things that would put you and me in jail!

'... Fox host Mike Huckabee directed viewers to "go to balancecutsave.com," urging them to sign a petition telling Congress to "balance the budget," "cut their spending," and "save American families" '

Where was he on balancing the budget and cutting spending when the George W. Bush administration was running the country's finances into the ground with all those tax cuts and all that war spending?

As for saving American families, how about the families of American soldiers killed in Iraq? Or the families who lost their homes during the sub-prime mortgage crisis? Or the families who are suffering because of medical bills, because of greedy insurance companies?

NOW the Repugs decide it's time to worry about the national budget?

ATTENTION WINGNUTS! There is no god! Do you have scientific proof? I'm sure you all prayed for a win in the 2008 election. EPIC FAIL! The prosecution rests!

Blue Lensman's picture

The fact that god isn't on the side of the wingnuts is hardly proof that he doesn't exist. But it does mean that all hope is not lost in the event he does exist.

I prayed to God, but he was too busy not existing to help me out. That's not His fault though. I'm sure he was not existing way before I started praying.

proudlyprogressive's picture

............that the rightwingers are crazy. They would believe that since their 'God' didn't 'click his heels to their command', their 'God' is indeed dead, as in no return, no nothing. Dead!

pissed off patricia's picture

I'm pretty sure their god walked out on them due to irreconcilable differences.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

My apologies to Pat Buttram but Huckabee reminds me of the Green Acres character Mr. Haney. Old huck is getting to be a regular snake oil salesman. Go for it Huck, you Goober.

A man of the cloth doing under handed things in order to get people to send him money? Well I never.

Did he by any chance send out little squares of paper once with a note saying the piece of paper was a prayer cloth and he thought it would work better if you sent him a donation. I put an empty martini glass on mine and prayed it would be filled. You guessed it, nothing happened so I used my donation money to buy a bottle of Sapphire Gin, a bottle of olives and a bottle of vermouth. Now that worked!


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

Sounds like the economy is starting to come around in FLA!

pissed off patricia's picture

If you are going to cocktail, drink the good stuff. My motto for cocktailing. I'm all about stimulating the economy as often as possible. The man at the liquor store said, What's not to love about a woman who buys Sapphire gin by the case? He didn't mention that it is less expensive that way.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

how Jesus felt about the money lenders in his father's house.


"Better." It's what we should ask of ourselves and of our leaders.

Didn't Jesus whack them? I did a little time in Sunday school as a kid. I can't remember what my crime was but I had to do several years.

what a surprise the huckster providing the good word after all the government spending during the BUSH years. alittle late huckster.

All these a-holes know their audience quite well: sheep to be shorn.

FOX was on one of the TVs at the gym yesterday, and I caught enough of the video as I was working out to notice that Mike and his audience all looked to be white, middle aged and overweight; ie, fat cat Republicans. They support clowns like Huckleberry because it means a continuation of the status quo for them. They probably don't feel duped, it's an investment in their future.

pissed off patricia's picture

I saw his show once when he first started it. The audience reminded me of the audiences they set up for infomercials. They seemed to clap on cue but a tad late to be sincerely responsive. It was kind of embarrassing.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

"Let's talk dirty to the animals"

Conservapedia have a project to modernize and 'conservatize' the New Testament, they want a conservative bible with no horrible socialist or liberal ideas in it. Plus removing nasty things like adultery and sharing.

Truly the work of the Ministry of Fascism. or conservative basement dwellers with word-processors and nothing better to do !! (The Afghanistan holy war needs more body bag fillers...)

Advantages to a Conservative Bible Online

There are several striking advantages to a conservative approach to translating the Bible online:

* participants learn enormously from the process
* liberal bias - and lack of authenticity - become easier to recognize and address
* by translating online, this utilizes the growing online resources that improve accuracy
* supported by conservative principles, the project can be bolder in uprooting and excluding liberal distortions
* the project can adapt quickly to future threats from liberals to biblical integrity
* access is free and immediate to the growing internet audience, for their benefit
* the ensuing debate would flesh out -- and stop -- the infiltration of churches by liberals pretending to be Christian, much as a vote by legislators exposes the liberals
* this would bring the Bible to a new audience of political types, for their benefit; Bible courses in college Politics Departments would be welcome
* this would debunk the pervasive and hurtful myth that Jesus would be a political liberal today

I'm sure this has been said before, however I'll repeat the sentiment ...

*close up shop in the 2 longstanding war theatres
*stop planning to start another war ie- iran/pakistan/venezuala
*close down some of the 1000+ military bases abroad
*fuck nato, EU are big boys with their own toys close up shop in europe
*downsize the worlds largest military stockpile of hardware that dwarfs the rest of the world's efforts by 10 times
*retrofit areospace industry factories for the new green economy

this checklist could save Kagillions of bux for your voter friendly socialist toolbox, alas healthcare for everyone and fix up state and municipalities that are broke or on the knifedge

don't stop there, restructure economy, build in at least some fraction of manufacturing or production to balance out trade deficits

what do i know about balancing the budget ...

why stop there ...

*legalise mariuana, would empty a lot of jail cells if you grant an amnesty
*legalise MDMA, profit from the burgeoning recreational scene and start treating the PTSD hordes with it, might I say fuck Nancy Reagan lol
*nationalise the banking sector, just because
*nationalise healthcare, ... fuck em

... oh oh oh oh oh oh!!! last minute edit,

TAX CHURCHES AS A LUXURY ITEM!

Patriot Actor's picture

Wonder if the Huckster and Fox know who the last President was that actually balanced the budget?

but of course they cared more about hunting for a blue dress at the time....

So old Huck is a huckster, well well.

I see he puts his faith in a big scam. Fitting. He is a Republican after all.

bring on the elephants and dog the faced boy...

Where was this Christofascist loon when the Rushthugliklans controlled all 3 branches of government for most of the past decade as they were turning Bill Clinton's legacy of record prosperity and peace into 2 failed taxpayer funded expensive wars and the great recession?

I hate these Rushthugliklan cretins.
