Mom: 'Carol Sue Would Be Alive Today' If Not for Huckabee

americablog.com — The mother of the girl murdered by Mike Huckabee's favorite rapist speaks out. Huckabee convinced the parole board to set the rapist free. Now he denies speaking to the parole board (there are witnesses), and says that no one could have predicted that a convicted rapist would molest and murder another woman. And this guy wants to be president.

      The real question is who is paying you. Probably Giuliani, the ***** that he is.
    • thecoolestguy, on 12/06/2007, -4/+17Huckabee IS the Bush cabal.
  • chowder, on 12/06/2007, -11/+60Huckster has some skeletons. Big time.

      I'm disgusted with you people. The collective sickness you bring to politics is what is destroying America. Enjoy the mirror every morning.
      • brad3378, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2What am I looking for? This guy made a profile more than a year ago (August 31st, 2006) That seems like a lot of effort for somebody to post comments for political purposes. I don't see what the big deal is - Chowder is only stating the obvious.
        • reeder, on 12/08/2007, -1/+1Yah right, and how many diggs bro, and how many comments?
    • MaxPayne3476, on 12/06/2007, -4/+3how can an account be... fake? Is it a knockoff Digg account? Perhaps a non-existant Digg account that is just a mirage to us users? What makes this a FAKE account. And what is a duplicate? Perhaps an account that MIRRORS another account, though what account must he be mirroring? I find no redwohc account on Digg. Or do I?

      So he's a Hukabee hater. No biggie. There's far worse in politics then that!
  • phenry50BMG, on 12/06/2007, -10/+59The fact that Huckabee has a single supporter shows that they are either incapable of doing their own research on this man or just do whatever Chuck Norris tells them to do. In either case, they are mindless drones who will continue to allow this Republic to become the Shattered Union depicted in the video game bearing the same title.

    Lucky for Huck it wasn't my daughter who was raped and killed. You wouldn't be able to vote for him.
    • reeder, on 12/06/2007, -22/+8Only real person to comment so far, besides me of course.
    • OffPiste, on 12/06/2007, -22/+1Sure, what would you do to the guy, boor him with your wit? You are laughable.
      • X9001, on 12/06/2007, -7/+2Its called murder
      • OniSyphon, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1Wait guys hold up...what's a boor and is it painful?

        It sounds like it would be scary with the right amount of intellect.
    • bcat, on 12/06/2007, -12/+2Yes, because revenge does *so* much good. Right.
      • badqat, on 12/06/2007, -5/+5Revenge certainly does peace of mind good...
      • mickcn, on 12/06/2007, -1/+1Maybe not for you, but that doesn't make it wrong.
    • Zarchon, on 12/06/2007, -3/+16And yet the Democrats elect Ted Kennedy over and over even though he directly murdered a woman. Damn those Republicans though.
    • MaxPayne3476, on 12/06/2007, -6/+1Why couldn't I vote for him? Cause he would have handed in his pledge to run too late? Perhaps you'd invent some anti-aging breakthrough that would keep him under 35. Or maybe you'd purchase a house for him outside the country, therefore making him inelgible to run for another 14 years. You sly bastard, you!
    • mickcn, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2We need to make an arena the Colosseum will envy for all time. Then all we need to is watch our murderers, rapists, child molesters, and wife beaters kill each other off. It would pay for itself in a couple weeks, and we could feed starving people with the excess money.

  • hvsahin, on 12/06/2007, -8/+32Everyone has made judgment mistakes in their career's, but the dick needs to own up to it.
    • roosterjm2k2, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2I dont even see it as a mistake...its a non-issue.

      Convicted people are paroled all the time...hence the existance of ... parole.

      Its a catch 22. If you hold them for their whole term, if they are on good behavior in prison, people like the ACLU chime in and say its wrong to do so...or people complain about the over-population of prisons... If you let them go...you face this. Not to mention that not everyone convicted is gulty. One of my friends in high school was convicted of rape...at a party, where the chick was sucking him off on a couch (he was nearly passed out drunk at this point) ... she dragged him upstairs, and claimed rape the next day...with over 15 witnesses to how she did it...he still got 5 years (lower sentence because of lack of evidence...) ... and now is branded a sex offender for life...

      Our justice system is ran by fallible humans, it has to be, by logic, fallible as well.
  • Haz3rd, on 12/06/2007, -5/+19Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
  • RedStarRizing, on 12/06/2007, -12/+19you have to be a grade A fool to vote for anyone that let a rapist out. of course this means huckabee will get tons of votes
    • WhiteRaven, on 12/06/2007, -9/+9How does speaking at a parole hearing make him *responsible*? He did not in fact free anyone.
      • blackinthmiddle, on 12/06/2007, -5/+11You're joking, right? He put in his two cents, asking for the guy to be paroled. For the mere fact that he thought it was a good idea speaks VOLUMES about his decision making ability.

        Let's make this easy for the rational, thinking Americans. Any presidential candidate who thinks it's wise to let a rapist go free because he grew up "on the wrong side of the tracks", please raise your hand!
        • WhiteRaven, on 12/06/2007, -3/+2Have you bothered to think this through at all? The entire criminal justice system is based on the premise that criminals like this will eventually be released. It is every president's duty to administrate the system that is *designed* to release (federal) prisoners after the have served a just punishment.

          Do you actually know anything about the case in question? The rapist's specific situation?
  • vvaduva, on 12/06/2007, -24/+7Nice to see digg whackos being true to their calling..this is what, the 5th anti-Huckabee article in the last 24 hours? Keep it up boys...this is how you win elections!!!
    • OffPiste, on 12/06/2007, -15/+5The Paultards will shut up after 5 Feb. Wait what am I saying, after 5 Feb we'll all be inundated with "Diebold is teh satan" and "Paul was robbed" stories.
  • Spektr4, on 12/06/2007, -3/+24"And this guy wants to be president." I motion that going forward all presidential candidate hit piece submissions close with this line.
  • macguy815, on 12/06/2007, -5/+12Okay let's see who we have in the republican party who doesn't have a major point going against them: Rudy has his mistress scandal, Huckabee pardoned a rapist who then raped again (and doesn't believe in evolution), Romney is a mormon (many in the bible belt still consider mormonism to be a cult and wouldn't vote for him), McCain seems to be falling behind Ron Paul (but otherwise would be decent in terms of being not too corrupt)

    So really, it would seem the other candidates are paving the way for Ron Paul without him trying.
    • groinkster, on 12/06/2007, -3/+6We can only hope...
    • HUKI365, on 12/06/2007, -4/+3"Major point going against them" - are you the same kind of person who would say that the US needs to get beyond "surface" issues?
  • tehbored, on 12/06/2007, -7/+9***** Huck and ***** Chuck. Wow, that rhymes really well!
    • manicmarvin, on 12/06/2007, -0/+11840: Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!
      2008: Huck and Chuck and Upchuck Too!
  • schuder, on 12/06/2007, -14/+8I don't particularly like Huckabee, but this is no big news story. Every politician works to get scumbags free (Dukakis, Romney's appointed judge). The one thing I will give Huckabee over most of the "major" candidates is that he truly believes in what he is doing and he practices what he preaches. He probably did believe there was good in that guys' heart, he is a preacher. Misguided, probably, but it's better than spending two minutes to avoid a yes/no question like Hildog does. It's also better than Romney's scumbaggery flip-flopping, Guiliani's weekend at Bernie's, Barack Hussein Obama's everything. Huckabee for what it's worth is pretty genuine, I wouldn't vote for him, but I respect him just as much as I do Ron Paul, Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel.
    • trotskyist, on 12/06/2007, -4/+7OBAMA'S MIDDLE NAME IS HUSSEIN!?!
      it's just like Saddam!!! He must be a terrorist!!!
      Thank you for including his middle name to point this out to us! Truly, you are a real patriot.
    • blackinthmiddle, on 12/06/2007, -3/+4Although I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for, I at least like the fact that Obama got the whole Iraq war thing right way back in 2002. While pretty much everybody was for the war, he was against it. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Barack_Obama's_Iraq_ ...
    • JDove6, on 12/06/2007, -2/+5Obama is the only upfront stand-up guy in the main contention...Huckabee is a religious zealot...seperate church and state.
  • chimona, on 12/06/2007, -4/+19I looked a little further and it turns out that this guy had been castrated by a mob of vigilantes after the first rape. I can kinda understand thinking he isn't a threat if he's got no balls.
    • Haecceity, on 12/06/2007, -2/+6I was just about to say exactly the same thing. You wouldn't expect the guy to be a risk and I can understand someone like Huckabee thinking the guy had suffered enough.
    • MadN, on 12/06/2007, -2/+2I wonder if the girl he killed was one of the "mob of vigilantes", or daughter of a vigilante member?
    • blackinthmiddle, on 12/06/2007, -1/+9Except that there are pretty well known cases of rapists getting castrated only to rape again with broomstick handles and the like. Bottom line, Huckabee goofed on this one, not that I was going to vote for him anyway.
      • altonlee, on 12/06/2007, -4/+3I lived in Forrest City during this time, it was the sheriff and the girls father and a couple of deputies that did the ball cutting. Stevens was bill clintons kin and this was the third or fourth time that the girl was raped. My daughter went to school withe the girl, and saw Wayne pick her up at lunch several times, said he was her dope supplier.
        The news is never reported with the right facts when it comes to slick willy and his kin.
        • JigoroKano, on 12/06/2007, -2/+1I figured you Clinton haters would have to eat some crow after he raped and murdered post release... after all that hard work to get his sentence reduced.

          But I'd guess you'd rather make up stories and live in denial.
    • absurdist, on 12/06/2007, -2/+11Are you ***** kidding me? Imagine the rage this guy already has, to assault and rape a woman. Then imagine the rage he has from having his balls torn off by an angry mob. Then put all that rage in a cell for however many years to fester. If you can't see that's a time bomb waiting to go off, pull your head out of your backside.
      And no, I'm not sympathizing with the *****. He should have been left in jail to rot, not freed to vent all that rage.
    • JigoroKano, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5He was castrated, but it was never proven that it was a mob that did it.

      Some time the crazy sex fiends do castrate themselves.
  • Andysan, on 12/06/2007, -10/+11Hey Digg ... Huckabee is leading in the polls. Better start hammering him with bull crap. With Diggsters against him, he can't lose.
  • mikehrp, on 12/06/2007, -8/+24My favorite bumber sticker. "Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun"
    • netant, on 12/06/2007, -1/+4Yeah, perhaps we're looking at this all wrong.

      Let's get Ted Kennedy to run for president. After all, he's only a little dirtier than Mike Huckabee.
    • brad3378, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3Cars don't kill people - drunk democrats do.
  • mattsw84, on 12/06/2007, -4/+6Worthy of his very own hit piece now nice.
  • catalysis, on 12/06/2007, -3/+22"Mike Huckabee's favorite rapist speaks out"

    lol, this piece is not biased at all.
  • latrosicarius, on 12/06/2007, -0/+15"the first womant he man raped"

    Damn you, He Man! Damn you!!!
  • kajoob, on 12/06/2007, -3/+10Bush 41 ran his Willie Horton ads against Dukakis and he was VILIFIED by the press. Yet almost the same situation occurs here and the media now questions how Huckabee could do such a thing. Funny how that works.
    • badqat, on 12/06/2007, -5/+4Not really...the fabled fourth estate is nothing but a wing of the DNC.
  • MadN, on 12/06/2007, -5/+9Candidate lies.
    Candidate lies about past lies.
    Candidate directly caused at least one death.
    Passes the GW Republican test.....
    • actionmann50, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3I think you need to look up the term "directly"
  • SaladCactusKing, on 12/06/2007, -8/+15Digg seems to be nothing but political mudslinging nowadays. Grow some intelligence and digg some real stuff up instead of reactionary election smear campaigns
    • addictist, on 12/06/2007, -2/+8I'm glad somebody said this. I feel like a republican listening to all this scum.
  • DevilInPgh, on 12/06/2007, -3/+3So, that makes two Republican candidates with Willie Horton issues (and I'm not talking about the former Detroit Tiger): Huckabee and Romney. Honestly, though, Huckabee scares me more than Romney does because he just sounds like he wants to turn this country into the Republic of Gilead, while everyone is pressuring Romney to not turn this country into a Deseret.
  • kindrobot, on 12/06/2007, -8/+3HICKabee can suck a ***** as far as I'm concerned, but this story stinks.

    OH NOES! Someone was paroled! We should never do that, in case we run for office.
    Idiots.
    Where's that handy time travel when a candidate needs it? Or precognition. Sure would come in handy in case one of the thousands paroled actually does something evil when they get out.

    This is another example of some pretty screwed up logic. The same people usually say these two things.

    "People are fallible, so we should never parole anyone."
    "The system is perfect and people never make mistakes, so I am for the death penalty."

    Pick one. But you can't pick both without being a certified retard.
    • kindrobot, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1I see 5 people made a choice. Retard it is.
  • Damian91, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3This is quite sick and disappointing. :|
  • RobotCitizen, on 12/06/2007, -3/+5How do we know Jesus didn't tell Huckster to free that rapist? Or maybe Huckster doesn't believe in psychology the same way he doesn't believe in evolutionary biology.
  • Maddoktor2, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5Yeah, like Huck stands a chance in the first place. Right...
    Move on folks, nothing to see here...
  • jdm0778, on 12/06/2007, -3/+2Carol never wore her safety goggles...now she doesn't need them.
  • SLockhart, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2Surely this guy realizes there will NEVER be a President Huckabee. lol
  • blankoboy, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3Any job worth a grain of salt requires a thorough interviewing process to ensure the applicants are fit for the job. So, why is it then that the MOST important job in the USA (perhaps, in retrospect, the world) doesn't more thoroughly grill these candidates? We all know why....USA is bound for hell in a handbasket.

    Looking back 20-30 years from now, next year will be seen as the turning point for the USA unless something is done.
  • demonsnake69, on 12/06/2007, -4/+4Huckabee released a rapist -- he should get the same sentence as any convicted rapist would.
  • avajoon, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3I for one can't stand those that use religion to warrant their deeds and hide behind it when things go south. There's Bush who says he has a direct line to God, and God says go to Iraq and wage war - then you have Huckabee who shares the God party line with Bush and even though thou shalt not kill is in his mandate, as Governor, how many people did he put to death? So now God tells him to let a rapist go free to do what rapists and murderers do...and a girl is dead. And he sleeps well at night because after he's done praying next to his warm little bed he dreams happy little president wanna be dreams because God told him it wasn't his fault. Huckabee and those like him make me vomit. What happens when the rapist says God told him to do it? He's playing patty cake with Bubba in Folsom for the rest of his life.
    • netant, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2Gee, do I believe that politicians that invoke the name of God in vain are lying scum to be voted against, or do I believe that God wanted women raped and murdered, and innocent Iraqis and Americans dead? Tough question...
  • jerryudigg, on 12/06/2007, -3/+6Mrs Clinton is married to a rapist. So she must be out of the race too.
    • Xizer, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3Since when is consensual sex with an intern 'rape' ?
      • Mcwop, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1I think this is referring to Juanita Broaddrick not Monica.
  • zeusabj, on 12/06/2007, -3/+9OH-GOOD-GRIEF!!! It just never ends with you whackjobs does it?! Extremism has just destroyed the integrity of this site. I am so disappointed when I see how horrible Digg has become these days. I see all these insane attacks on everything from Republicans to religion to drugs and it has just gone beyond the absurd. Please Digg staff, I implore you. Remove the politics section from this site. It has been completely hijacked by total nutcases and you can't believe anything you read there anymore. You might as well just remove the whole thing if you have no intention of at least attempting to remove the bias and propaganda pieces. The level of misinformation and downright slander around here has just reached the point where you can't trust ANYTHING you read here! I take EVERY post with a grain of salt now! I mean the Weekly World News has more credibility than some of these insane stories I see here. I'm not affiliated with any political party, but I swear I think I'll vote straight Republican in the upcoming election if this is how real Democrats act. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Any idiot can do a search on "Democrat" or "Republican" on this site and see how blatantly unbalance the stories are. I don't mind you guys making your points, just quit with the outlandish stories PLEASE. Its just reached a level of utter ridiculousness that is beyond mere political jockeying. You people have no class whatsoever.
    • catalin777, on 12/06/2007, -0/+0right on!! let's digg this comment up. this needs some exposure.
  • BeyondGoodNEvil, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3Huckabee is a real Jesus freak. Seriously. He's said something like "it would be un-Christian not to" to excuse why he supported giving certain benefits to illegal immigrants. He puts his religious beliefs above the law.
  • iceman0113, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3He let this rapist go, can you imagine if this man was a pedophile? I bet if Huckabee was president he would pardon every rapist and pedophile and say, "They won't do it again, they've learned their lesson." *****.
  • Dustin00, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4Sooo... she's not going to vote for him?
  • mihai11, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1If you could not predict the behavior of the rapist, then why the ***** you let him go ?
  • elvisB, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1All of a sudden the mainstream media is all about this guy. They are trying to steal some of Ron Paul's thunder with this closet gerbal man. Huckabee,Huckabee... Oh *****!!!!!
