"Mike Huckabee's Best Buddy Wants to Kill Gay People in Uganda" - Change.org article

[OneGrassRoot]

You might have noticed Mike Huckabee in the news this week. He's on a book tour traveling around the country. He's making waves about running for President again in 2012. And he's chiding the media for paying too much attention to Sarah Palin, when he's got socially conservative values just as deep as she does.

Here's something Mike Huckabee also has: a best buddy who wants to see LGBT people killed or imprisoned for life in Uganda. And as recently as August 2010, Huckabee praised the work of this friend, a man named Rev. Lou Engle, who has made campaigning for the elimination of LGBT rights a central component of his life's work.

Blogger Waymon Hudson noted that in May of this year, Rev. Lou Engle traveled to Uganda and spoke at a rally where calls for violence toward the LGBT community were fast and furious. Rev. Engle got on stage at this rally, and according to one witness, told 1,300 demonstrators that homosexuality was an evil that deserved to be criminalized.

" called upon the government of Uganda to be firm and hold on its righteous stand against the evil. He mentioned that homosexuals have penetrated the educational system and Ugandans must be aware of the evil," the eyewitness said in Hudson's report."

1. Some repukes (especially those not on board with Huckabee anyway) won't pass

up this opportunity to bring up Rev. Wright.

2. This needs more visibility. Huckabee's a snake oil salesman cultivating his "good guy" image.

This needs more attention.

Kick it. Share it.
