Huckabee's stance on the relative merits of homosexuality and necrophilia now clarified!!!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

It's so easy to understand now... Thanks for clarifying that, Governor!

As first reported yesterday by David Corn at Mother Jones, Huckabee said the following in a 1998 book he co-wrote called Kids Who Kill:

It is now difficult to keep track of the vast array of publicly endorsed and institutionally supported aberrations—from homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia.

When we asked Carter if Huckabee stood by this quote, he didn't disavow the comment. But he sought to clarify its meaning, denying our suggestion that the quote equated homosexuality and necrophilia.

"He's not equating homosexuality with necrophilia," Carter told us. "He's saying there's a range of aberrant behavior. He considers homosexuality aberrant, but that's at one end of the spectrum. Necrophilia is at the other end."

Carter added: "No way is he saying that homosexuality is like having sex with dead people. That's not it at all."

Asked how one measured what rated where on this spectrum of aberrant behavior, Carter said: "He was talking about aberrant sexual behavior. Sado masochism and necrophilia are on the further end of the spectrum."

Asked if this meant that Huckabee at least saw homosexuality and necrophilia as belonging to the same behavioral category, Carter said:

"That's like saying any sex is the same. Yes, he considers both aberrant, but no, he does not equate the two in any way."

Asked to elaborate further, Carter said: "He was describing behavior. He's not casting judgment on the people themselves. His point is, the culture is becoming more accepting of aberrant behaviors."

1. I'm surprised he didn't toss bestiality in there as well...

Isn't it usually included?

Fucking weirdoes.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

2. I'm still waiting to hear which institutions he thinks endorse and support necrophilia

(Aside from the Ronald Reagan cult.)

4. that would probably piss off alot of his base

if they couldnt fondle their sheep

[TwilightGardener]

9. He already did--he said in a radio interview that if we let homosexuals marry, then

people are going to want to marry their dogs next. Shades of Santorum.

[Kucinich4America]

14. Huckabee should admit that he fucks dogs then

It's better than what his kid does to them.

3. Huck's right. When I kiss my girlfriend goodmorning, it's about the same as necrophilia.

She's a total zombie before her first cuppa joe.

15. He must have met my ex back then when he was in one of his frequent self-loathing moods.

By 04 when I met him, it was definitely like necrophilia. I never knew one could honestly maintain absolute silence and rigidity -- of body -- while engaged in a sex act, but I was wrong.

5. I hate to be the bearer of bad news for Huckabee...

but much to the chagrin of every society that has come along, there have been children who kill. If there is one fortunate thing about it, is that it is pretty rare.

As for the Bible thumping Huckster...I wonder if he ever came across that notion that, "if thy son offends thee, he should be taken outside and stone him to death". I think most people would agree that is a little OTT for most societies.

I have to wonder if Huckster actually reads the Beatitudes from time to time...he might find some light there.

6. so where does sex with Republicans fit on this spectrum?

I imagine it somewhere between necrophilia and driving a stake through my own eyes.

[NMMNG]

7. Of course he doesn't equate those behaviors

Funny how all of his ilk toss homosexuality in with pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, and so on, but F*ckabee wasn't equating them when he did that.

Riiiiight. :eyes:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

8. According to Huck's spokesman, pedophilia is a fairly trivial aberration

re: "from homosexuality and pedophilia to sadomasochism and necrophilia"

"He's not equating homosexuality with necrophilia," Carter told us. "He's saying there's a range of aberrant behavior. He considers homosexuality aberrant, but that's at one end of the spectrum. Necrophilia is at the other end."

Asked how one measured what rated where on this spectrum of aberrant behavior, Carter said: "He was talking about aberrant sexual behavior. Sado masochism and necrophilia are on the further end of the spectrum."

Notice that pedophilia is at the less extreme end.

13. .

[joeybee12]

10. Yeah, now it's clear...

...Huckabee is an even bigger asshole than we thought!

[K Gardner]

11. Oh, dear Republicans, please nominate this hillbilly jacka** :-)

[Hieronymus]

12. God, I hope Huckabee is their nominee .. he'll be so easy to topple.
