- matt70, on 03/20/2008, -18/+385Look, most of Mike's positions are pretty....strange...to most of us. That said, I think he really is a genuine person who most of us would be glad to know. I have friends like Mike. Great family people, good friends. I just try to avoid discussions on evolution, the age of the earth, etc.
- wendelgee2, on 03/20/2008, -6/+144Which was Obama's entire point. You can't go around repudiating everyone you disagree with. Some of the people you disagree with might be like family to you...or actual family.
- NyteStarNyne, on 03/20/2008, -8/+109I hated Huckabee during the early parts of his campaign, but as he started becoming the joke of the Republican party, he showed some character that changed my views on him. I still don't agree with his political views, but he's a good person in my book.
- bullcutter, on 03/20/2008, -6/+104somehow this is probably going to be used against Obama by the Shillary camp, because they are that pathetic.
- jdh24, on 03/20/2008, -9/+95Huckabee: Hey, I say crazy ***** too!
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -10/+81Huckabee is an honest guy, and while I know that means that Diggers hate him because he thinks differently, he's keeping it real.
- Y2JCrisis, on 03/20/2008, -5/+71He actually seemed pretty intelligent to me, and the more I saw him speak, the more I liked him. I absolutely disagree with many of his ideas, but I do think he's genuinely a good person.
@Booby just because you don't agree with someone's ideas doesn't make them a "retard". Grow up. - fadeout, on 03/20/2008, -4/+69I don't care for a lot of his positions but Huckabee is a class act. Out of all of the "big" players in this election cycle, he and Obama are the only ones who don't come off like they'd say or do anything to get their grimy fingers on a bit of power. I would have said the same thing about McCain 4 years ago, in all fairness.
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -18/+78Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Neither Obama, McCain or Clinton are responsible for other people's statements or beliefs.
- boobyman, on 03/20/2008, -95/+150He has a valid point. That doesn't change the fact of Huckabee being a complete retard.
- glxyjones, on 03/20/2008, -0/+54I couldn't agree more. I think Huckabee is quite a genuine guy who isn't like some ***** far right wingers out there. Just because he has a completely different view on religion and science than I do, doesn't make him a bad person.
- motivatedmama, on 03/20/2008, -9/+62Not sure whether to digg this down or up.
- Xios117, on 03/20/2008, -7/+55Huckabee is a good Christian and a good man, just not a leader who can represent the views of the whole of this country.
- demonsnake69, on 03/20/2008, -3/+44People on Digg hate Huckabee because he's quite religious and automatically see him as an evil person. While I personally don't agree with Huckabee's politics, you have to be dumb to not realize that he's a genuinely good person.
- Tiphys, on 03/20/2008, -1/+41wtf?
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -0/+30Thank you for your dazzling insight into our political process.
- berfmurret, on 03/20/2008, -3/+32whatever. agree with his politics or not he is a funny sob. he was good here and great on SNL.
- defska42, on 03/20/2008, -3/+29Totally agree. I would never vote for the guy, I would consider moving to Canada if he was ever President; but I respect him a little bit more today for speaking the truth and not partisan *****.
- facelesscoward, on 03/20/2008, -0/+26McCain said the same thing. And he's (probably) his opponent.
- jmkiii, on 03/20/2008, -0/+25Bad your site
- MaximusD, on 03/21/2008, -1/+26For the record, I saw Huckabee explain his view on evolution, and he doesn't think the world is 6000 years old. He simply believes that God had an active hand in the creation of this world and man, and that it wasn't random mutation and natural selection but the work of God. That really isn't such a crazy view, considering most people in the United States hold it. Huckabee is not a "retard" or an "idiot." He has different views from me, but he seems to be a honest, compassionate person and I refuse to put him down or define his positions in unfair and biased ways. And honestly, I'd prefer him to McCain, even with his awful tax policy and backwards views about Islam. That said, GObama!
- FoghornLeghorn, on 03/20/2008, -1/+24The more I hear from him outside of his politics the more I come to respect him. I disagree with a lot of his politics, and certainly his religious beliefs, but he does seem to have some common sense, a solid sense of humour and he doesn't buy into a lot of the sensationalism that plagues presidential politics.
- bjs3171, on 03/20/2008, -1/+24He's a phony friend because he likes to spend time with people even if he doesn't agree with them all the time? wouldn't he be more of a phony if he spent time with them, AND pretended to agree with them on everything, just to make them feel better and want to be friends with him? yes. yes, he would.
- demonsnake69, on 03/20/2008, -12/+35The real reason Diggers hate Huckabee is because he's a religious man. If Huckabee was an atheist and wanted to force atheism upon others no one on Digg would say ***** about him
- aldenhg, on 03/20/2008, -7/+30Hukabee... somewhat insightful? What's next, Clinton not taking a jab at Obama's speech? Oh... wait... she liked it... OK, politics are just getting to weird for me.
- gsandha99, on 03/20/2008, -1/+23woww....You GO HUCK! i especially like the last paragraph about cutting some slack...that was all these idiots on fox news and cnn (Lou Dobbs) dont understand...that if your dad was pushed around and hated on and beat up in highschool...that maybe you would carry some of that baggage....
good job HUCK for speakin your mind...and being logical.....this time...lol I mean segregation ended in the 60's...thats only ***** 50 years ago man! thats like yesterday....and what, now you expect everything to be completely fair and equal and for people to forget what happened...the older generation forgives but doesnt forget!
PS. im not black...nor white.....im brown...so yea - Mikey9oo, on 03/20/2008, -3/+23I would never vote for him, but I always thought Huckabee was more level headed and real than McCain, Romney, or the likes.
This confirms it. - jhbarr, on 03/20/2008, -1/+21And McCain chose to sit with Hagee and Falwell and call them friends. As others have said why are African American preachers held to a higher standard than white ones and why the hell should I care what Obama's preacher says in church anyway. He is not running for president of Christian USA.
- acroyear2, on 03/20/2008, -3/+21There's nothing strange about this at all. I defend all of them. This has been blown out of proportion because the dominant society in this nation is scared to death of others.
- neognostic, on 03/20/2008, -2/+19I'll bet none of them have even read or seen the entire sermon.
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -8/+24Sorry, I still don't see anything anti-American or racist in any of Wright's statements. Sounds like you wingnuts can't handle anything remotely resembling the truth.
- Drax0n, on 03/20/2008, -1/+16She just wishes she had the ability to write a speech half that good, hell i bet she'd settle for finding a speech writer who could write a scpeech half as good as Obama's...
- DYMongoose, on 03/20/2008, -3/+18Well put, sir.
- bjs3171, on 03/20/2008, -6/+21i'm sure every single sermon made my this pastor is an angry one about the plight of the black man. every single one, every week.
/sarcasm - ironhide, on 03/20/2008, -4/+19Good old masterm1nd, you don't bother with facts, just truthiness.
- qwerter, on 03/20/2008, -2/+17The most patriotic thing any American can do is to question and criticize their own government. It's how our nation grown and develops.
P.S. How the hell did we get to the point where a black man who has suffered racial injustice his entire life is considered Anti-American for speaking up about it? This makes me furious. - inactive, on 03/20/2008, -2/+15So you are making up the 95% then? Pretty much what I thought.
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -1/+13I think what he SHOULD do is make all prospective friends take a test, to make sure that they agree upon key debatable topics, to avoid any possible arguments. lol
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -4/+16source?
- dn11, on 03/20/2008, -1/+12He never said he never heard it before. he just said he wasn't there for that specific sermon. I'm sure Obama has heard it a million times, and not just from Rev. Wright. If you listened to what he was actually saying you might start to get it. Those sort of sentiments aren't rare in the black community. What Rev Wright was saying was mild compared to the anger of some black preachers. Obama was telling America: lets confront this, lets deal with it, because it is endemic.
- bullcutter, on 03/20/2008, -0/+11either way, its a good thing for Obama.
his speech was truly amazing, and that's the first time i've ever said anything remotely positive about a presidential candidate too.
i can't believe the right is trying to warp the whole speech (which showed more balls than the last 3 presidents combined) into "he threw his grandmother under the bus!"
what ridiculous hogwash. but i'm pretty sure Obama will recover. the Pennsylvania primary is still a month away, and I think a lot is going to happen in that month. - MacEnvy, on 03/20/2008, -3/+13You think the majority of the country agrees with Huckabee? Buddy, not even the majority of the Republican Party agrees with Huckabee. You must live a very sheltered and homogeneous life if Huckabee represents the majority of people you know.
- WasabiBomb, on 03/20/2008, -1/+11Either show us where Obama said something prejudicial, or shut the hell up. First it was his father, then it was his wife, and now it's his preacher- who's next, his dog?
The ONLY reason you're taking such offense to this is because you want YOUR candidate to look better. - inactive, on 03/20/2008, -2/+12It's called hyperbole
- hittnrun, on 03/20/2008, -3/+12Its gonna be used by McCain because it willl work on racist democrats who are going to have trouble pulling the lever for a black man.
- robthom, on 03/20/2008, -1/+10show me where obama himself made a racist comment? Can I blame you for the things protestants say?
- dn11, on 03/20/2008, -2/+11He can keep it real, and I can still disagree with him on a vast number of issues. That's fine. I never denied that he seems to be genuine in his religious beliefs - that is why the neo cons don't like him. His message of social justice, which seems to be genuine, interferes with their fascist agenda.
- facelesscoward, on 03/20/2008, -3/+12Well, he did say "God damn America." It's pretty hard to argue that that's not anti-American (though not impossible, considering how excessively
"anti-Americanism" has been thrown around to smother meaningful debate). Whether it's unjustified anti-Americanism is another matter entirely. - inactive, on 03/20/2008, -4/+13I didn't bury you smartass....and 73% of 1200 people means squat.
