http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/co-author-of-mike-huckabee-books-was-accused-of-child-molest#.wdbgpn4JYIt isn't Mike's year:
ohn Perry, a prolific author who co-wrote two books with former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and co-wrote one with Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, was accused of child molestation in two separate lawsuits, BuzzFeed News has found.
A 2012 police investigation of Perrys alleged offenses found that the allegations of sexual battery were sustained but that the statute of limitations had expired.
Perry co-wrote Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement Thats Bringing Common Sense Back to America about Huckabees 2008 presidential campaign. He also did research and writing for Huckabees 2007 book Character Is the Issue, a memoir of his early time as governor. Perry also co-wrote So Help Me God, Moores autobiographical account of fighting to keep a monument to the Ten Commandments at Alabamas Supreme Court.
Those books are just a few of the titles produced with Perrys help: He wrote For Faith & Family: Changing America by Strengthening the Family with Richard Land, the president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, a book with former Southern Baptist Convention president James T. Draper, as well as a book with Frank Page, the president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. Perry even co-authored The Vow, the book made into a feature film starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. Perry also lists writing two books for prominent pastor John F. MacArthur on his website.

(36,926 posts)Right now the system seems rigged to protect molesters. Fact is, many victims repress the abuse and don't report for many years. The law needs to take this into consideration.

(100,104 posts)I'd bet seriously good odds that Huckabee has a hidden hard drive or two somewhere in his house. Like I said first he defends the Duggars very vocally, and now this.

(100,104 posts)First the Duggars, now this. That gets multiple s from me. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Mike Huckabee has a hidden hard drive in his house somewhere.

(5,402 posts)Pedophiles have a perverse attraction to children, but maybe Huckabee just has a perverse attraction to pedophiles.
A man that surrounds himself with pedophiles can be POTUS, right?

(15,335 posts)I just wanted to chime in on several prior posts that talk about RW xian pedophiles (do three wrongs make a wrong?).
Just like the crazies from the mid-east that fight battles under different flags (Israeli, Iranian, ISIS, Al Quaida, Sunni, Shiite, Christian, Muslim, Zorastrian, etc/etc/etc/etc.) these are all based on some supposedly wise book that was written several thousands of years ago. And all of these people seem to be the most murderous and least caring cults around. Is that wise book really so horrible? Maybe it's time to have a real revolution - away from religion.

If there were such a being, Mr. Moral Child Molester would have been a sizzling little heap of ashes long ago.
Same for huckster. And duggar. And all the tightie righties.

Like the song says "Look at what you're in, gonna find it around!" Brought down the KKK in their heyday, William Pierce's hand picked successor Eric Glebe in the National Socilists /"Resistance Records" orginization, literally hundreds of pastors and priests.

What to do when one of two parties has gone insane and you need to protect your campaign ad profits, promised like mana from heaven by the detritus of CU?
