Huckabee: Supportive Bloggers Are ‘Doing The Lord's Work'

thinkprogress.org — Calling them his “secret weapon,” former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee urged bloggers to “clog” up the wireless system in Des Moines so that reporters couldn’t file any more “bad” stories about him. He added that by blocking the free press from doing their jobs, bloggers were “doing the Lord’s work."

  • scootypuff, on 01/03/2008, -6/+70Dear God,

    If you really want this clown to be the president, please cancel my reservation in heaven. Otherwise please smite him for us.
  • CaptainNoPants, on 01/03/2008, -6/+64What a loon. Science help us if he wins.
  • inactive, on 01/03/2008, -5/+58He's so ***** deluded he thinks JESUS would support the death penalty!
    These are the same scumbags who try to convince the public that Jesus would have shunned gays and illegals.
  • inactive, on 01/03/2008, -3/+53Yeah I suppose he thinks he doing his lords work by turning his back on the sick and dying in 12 states?Even though 80% of Americans disagree with this backward and uneducated policy?
  • Dumbledorito, on 01/03/2008, -1/+39What Would Jesus Blog?

    "Pirated a bunch of loaves and fishes today. P2P rules."
  • blindhammer, on 01/03/2008, -2/+39By logic, unsupportive bloggers are doing the work of Satan. Yes, that's right, the same logic used during the Inquisition.
  • tehxen3, on 01/03/2008, -5/+40I'm conservative and I hate Huckabee. What a christofascist douche.
  • AriaStar, on 01/03/2008, -3/+30If this is "the Lord's work," then I'm even gladder now than ever to no longer be Christian. I mean, c'mon, the guy's making Scientology look better than his brand of Christianity.
  • Rotzooi, on 01/03/2008, -1/+27There's a president in office who never had anything but his back turned to the sick and dying (in all states, even) and who also claims to be placed in that position by the lord himself.
    And yet a lot of people voted for him twice.
  • lukas88, on 01/03/2008, -1/+27He shows a solid concept of how the internet works. Clog those pipes!
  • ironhide, on 01/03/2008, -3/+27Considering there is no such thing as "satan" buried.
  • darkciti2, on 01/03/2008, -2/+25Shocker! A Republican that urges people to lie, and cheat so he can steal?!?
  • Dumbledorito, on 01/03/2008, -1/+23A supposedly omniscient, omnipresent, ominipotent being needs bloggers?

    Doesn't God have RSS?
  • Arkansas243, on 01/03/2008, -2/+23Most of these "bloggers" are probably working for Huckabee anyway. He has 300 paid bloggers promoting him in order to create the illusion of grassroots support.
  • ronpaul20008, on 01/03/2008, -2/+22The Bush Administration - where even Rape, Mass Murder, Drug Dealing, Gay Prostitutes & Torture are tolerated & acceptable.
    Huckabee has such a hard on to take over the operation.
  • inactive, on 01/03/2008, -0/+19As a devout Christian, I can say that the "Lord's Work" should be kept to the church, and the "government's work" should be to protect people's life and freedoms to do whatever the heck they want as long as it doesn't interfere with another's freedoms. Forcing belief systems on people is not an elected officials job, nor the government's job. Jesus Christ said this Himself: "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." -Mark 12:17. As a Christian, Ron Paul understands this clearer than any mock-Christian politician... George W. Bush and Mike Huckabee included.
  • gulpy, on 01/03/2008, -1/+18Hmmmm I seem to recall problems with nations when religious "fanatics" came into power... ... Oh yes, I think they called it the inquisition.
  • jthei, on 01/03/2008, -1/+17God hasn't visited Digg since January 11th, 2005. http://digg.com/users/yahweh
  • darkciti2, on 01/03/2008, -3/+18Jesus is simply the latest misinterpretation of astronomy that has existed for thousands of years:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpG9_5pRbks&NR=1
    (skip the first 50 seconds of boring intro)
    Jesus = Horus = Sun God, ad nausem.
  • WestDC, on 01/03/2008, -0/+15If it's "The Lord's work", why the hell doesn't he do it himself?

    Lazy omnipotent bastard.
  • darkciti2, on 01/03/2008, -0/+12"Either you're with us, or your with the terrorists"

    Sound like any leader you know of?
  • aukxsona, on 01/03/2008, -1/+13hence why I left in 97...I was raised by kooks like him.
  • innocentsinner, on 01/03/2008, -1/+11I'm seriously more scared of a President Huckabee than President Bush
  • darkciti2, on 01/03/2008, -1/+11Shocker! A Republican that urges people to lie, and cheat so he can steal?!?
  • stephbangm, on 01/03/2008, -1/+10So "the lord's work" includes pardoning convicted rapists who then rape again and murder, increase taxes a hundredfold (including 37% higher sales tax in Arkansas), wanting to quarantine all AIDS victims, kill all gays, etc.?

    Glad I'm not a part of this sh1tty work!
  • usrlocalbin, on 01/03/2008, -2/+11Well......If it wasn't for capital punishment we wouldn't have Easter....That's a 3 day weekend for us, so lets fry 'em up!
  • guitarh3ro, on 01/03/2008, -1/+9MikeHuckabeeForum.com?
  • akimbo, on 01/03/2008, -0/+8buddha isn't a god...
  • o2sk8, on 01/03/2008, -1/+8I simply cannot digg you up hard enough.
  • ytsejam29, on 01/03/2008, -0/+7A part of me wants to get pissed off at the people who take every word Huckabee says in jest and twists them to make him look like a monster, but a bigger part of me gets pissed off at Huckabee for constantly giving them ammunition with his outright moronic comments. Either way (a terrible sense of humor/decorum or he really is a religious nut), he would be a terrible choice for president.
  • Drahkar, on 01/03/2008, -1/+8As I said before when someone made a comment about posting an Anti-Huckabee Ad. There is no need to make one. Whenever he opens his mouth he creates a new Anti-Huckabee ad all on his own.
  • Vector713, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6Thank You.

    I only wish more diggers saw the way you do.
  • SantafromNorth, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7When will people wise up about "Hick" Huckabee? He and his ilk pervert religion for their own nefarious means to split the "have nots" from uniting against those in society which exploit and sell out the working people of this country.

    What would Jesus do? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't vote for "Hick" Huckabee or for that matter Mitt "Magic Underpants" Romney. Wake up people before fascism comes to this country wrapped in a flag & carrying a cross.
  • MaTT2011, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6Either your being ironic/sarcastic in order to illustrate the stupidity of people who say such things or....
    ........you are being serious and really are that stupid.

    So which is it?
  • darkciti2, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6It's tubes, dude. Tubes.
  • Brad324, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5I guess this is where we hit him in the head with an iron - http://tinyurl.com/2rn5y3
  • inactive, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5Wait so Huckabee is claiming to be Gods choice for president now? is that right?
  • QuesoPantera, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5Hey, don't sell him short, his grassroots army is about 50 strong
  • syroncoda, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5huckabee isn't going to win. regardless of what the quickly diminishing "moral majority" do to ***** up other candidates chances he'll never win. he's just not good politics.
  • error792, on 01/03/2008, -2/+7Don't freak out over "God" used rhetorically. I myself am atheist (no, not agnostic) and frequently use "oh my god", "what in god's name", etc.
  • Brad324, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5ignore this one
  • Aticper, on 01/03/2008, -1/+6Sorry, I wish he were joking.
  • dove316, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5Agree totally with vilo. God does not watch over us and say "Boy, I sure hope they vote for so-and-so. I just don't know what I'll do if they don't! Oh, I'm real nervous about this election!!" Get real. God does not need help to do anything in this world. He has it covered just fine. And if any politician tells you they are Gods' choice, avoid them. If they were Gods' choice, there would be no need to communicate it as God would have done so already whether or not we are aware of it.
    Government should only be for the protection of Life, Liberty, and Property. Anything they do outside of this they are sure to mess up; They can't even do the one core function defined in the Constitution: Protection of Borders!
  • Joe_rigby, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5Yes, the lord. THE DARK LORD.
  • FasterGun, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4WHY ARE WE STILL HEARING ABOUT THIS NON-CONTENDER
  • inactive, on 01/03/2008, -2/+6If the only support Huckabee has on Digg is IMJGalt (read his comment history on an empty stomach only), then that alone is an indication of this man's unworthiness for public office, even dogcatcher. Oh, especially dog-catcher. Don't want tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum anywhere near man's best friend.
  • Adma1, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4lol, on the digg spy page, this story came up as

    Huckabee: Supportive Bloggers Are 'Doing The Lord'
  • umstbkddng, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4Love it. He should make a political ad, where at the end the screen goes white and the booming voice of God says, "I am the Lord of all creation...and I approve this message."
  • ldailey06, on 01/03/2008, -2/+6I hope Huckabee wins the nomination, he'll get eaten alive in the general election
