Breitbart: Mike Huckabee "Articulates Conservative Principles" by Equating Iran Deal to the Holocaust

Breitbart: Mike Huckabee “Articulates Conservative Principles” by Equating Iran Deal to the Holocaust

“Conservative principles and values” = equating opponents to Nazis

PoliticsJuly 2015 • Views: 68,215

As Donald Trump steals all the oxygen from the Republican presidential campaign, you can expect the other candidates to get more and more extreme to try to compete with Trump’s xenophobic hate speech.

For example, Mike Huckabee, the “aw shucks” theocrat; he gave an interview to Breitbart “News” yesterday that Breitbrat Robert Wilde described this way:

Appearing on Breitbart News Saturday, the governor demonstrated his keen ability to articulate conservative principles and values—a likely reason why he enjoys the highest favorability ratings of all GOP candidates running for president in 2016.

These “conservative principles and values:” comparing President Obama to Nazis marching Jews “to the door of the oven.” Yes, he actually said this, and the hacks at Breitbart applaud him for it.

“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”

That’s some super-keen articulating there, all right.

Huckabee doubles down on this vile statement with a slick graphic posted on Twitter:

To make any deal at all with the Iranians means trusting them, and you can’t trust them at all, so you can’t make any deals with them.

Well, if you can’t make a deal with them, and you won’t accept them getting nukes, your only alternative is war.

War? Who said anything about war?

re: #20 Dark_Falcon

D_F, you (and other Lizards) might find this quite interesting.

When US special forces raided the compound of an Islamic State leader in eastern Syria in May, they made sure not to tell the neighbours.

The target of that raid, the first of its kind since US jets returned to the skies over Iraq last August, was an Isis official responsible for oil smuggling, named Abu Sayyaf. He was almost unheard of outside the upper echelons of the terror group, but he was well known to Turkey. From mid-2013, the Tunisian fighter had been responsible for smuggling oil from Syria’s eastern fields, which the group had by then commandeered. Black market oil quickly became the main driver of Isis revenues - and Turkish buyers were its main clients.

Now that’s hardly a surprise. But this is:

In the wake of the raid that killed Abu Sayyaf, suspicions of an undeclared alliance have hardened. One senior western official familiar with the intelligence gathered at the slain leader’s compound said that direct dealings between Turkish officials and ranking Isis members was now “undeniable”.

“There are hundreds of flash drives and documents that were seized there,” the official told the Observer. “They are being analysed at the moment, but the links are already so clear that they could end up having profound policy implications for the relationship between us and Ankara.”

“We are at a phase in this war where things that have been in the shadows for a long time are now being exposed to daylight,” said the western official. “Hezbollah is dominant in the west of Syria, and the Turkish role, however you wish to define it, is also becoming clearer. This is an important time for them. Will they now see Isis as a threat to their own sovereignty? Assad played with Isis and lost. The Turks will, too. A lot of damage has been done from this.”

theguardian.com

If indeed this is the case - if the seized data materials do indeed show a genuine link between Turkish governmental officials and ISIS - then someone’s got some ‘splainin to do

Considering how fast and loose he’s playing with the facts and details of the deal (and how the GOP generally views the deal as unilateral between the US and Iran, and not the reality that it’s a P3+3/1 deal, involving several other players - Russia, China, UK, the EU, etc.), getting that wrong is just par for the course.

The far right loves it some Holocaust imagery - all while undermining and diminishing what actually happened.

It’s not a smart image by the Iranians, to be sure. But what I it really is is standard issue HERP-a-DERP intended to allow the Grand Ayatollah to ‘fun the bozos’ in IRan and get the deal done.

This is something politicians have to do sometimes, and frankly given the prevalence of making belligerent statements to jerk off the political base in the Republican Party, I really can’t complain.

Eric The Fruit Bat Jul 26, 2015 • 2:32:41pm

If everything broke Huckabee’s way come 2016:

Mike Huckabee + Execultive Branch= Ayatollah Rouhani + Guardian Council
US Congress = Iranian Parliament
US Supreme Court = Iranian Expediency Council

So, when it comes right down to it, the only difference between The GOP’s and the Huckster’s wet dreams and Iran is whether you deal with the cross or the crescent moon as your symbol of faith.

Choose wisely.

I doubt it. But I think it will be widely known. The Guardian’s running with it, and I’ve seen it also in Today’s Zaman. But it will be dismissed by the AKP as “Gülenist lies”. Now if the CIA, or the NSA, or the FBI, or even the DOD came out and said, “Yeah, we totally have the evidence that links the Turkish government and ISIS, and key figures in the Turkish government made mucho dinero off oil smuggling, etc.”, then I really don’t know how your average Mehmet in the streets would react.

If it were true, the former might happen, the latter would not. Turkey is a great deal more cohesive than most Middle Eastern nations, rivaled on that only by Egypt and Iran.

But more realistically, I think President Erdoᇺn would attack Daesh on the ground in Syria to try to make such a charge go away. And if that happens, the US must support Turkey in such an assault, even knowing what Erdoᇺn was up to. Turkey’s part of NATO, and a ground offensive by a NATO nation against Daesh cannot be allowed to fail, or it will be as if we had been defeated as well.

Good point. It’d be a cynical move on Erdogan’s part, that’s for sure, but if he went full-on against Da’esh in a ground offensive, well, like you said, Turkey’s a NATO member-state, and that’s that.

The right wing base eats up words like Huckabee’s because it paints the left as the enemy, the Nazis, and thus they themselves are the good guys, the heroes charging to the rescue. It’s clear they see liberals as an enemy deserving of murder. They say as much in tweets about killing teachers, and let’s not forget the granddaddy of rightwing hate speech, Rush Limbaugh who once said, “I tell people don’t kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus, living fossils, so we’ll never forget what these people stood for.” I guess that’s similar to how Hitler wanted a ‘museum to an extinct race.’ And now I’ve closed the Godwin circle.

I also see part of the message in that no matter how kings and rulers try to hijack it to their own ends, its message is that the poor, the downtrodden and the meek (who are most always in the majority) will somehow prevail in the end.

re: #84 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

Judaism and Christianity were a nice progression, almost a growing up, of religions. Judaism starts out with God stopping Abraham from sacrificing his firstborn son, a common practice of religions at the time. And while God is a jealous god, he’s a lot more consistent than the more human like gods (how would you like to deal with the finicky Greek or Roman gods).

Jesus comes along and ends the need to sacrifice to God. He also promises eternal life. If you were Norse, which sounds better: a religion where everyone dies eventually, or eternity?

A lot of people are still afraid of what happens when you die, most being most afraid of nothing happening at all.

Christie rips into ~~gun rights activist~~ DERPy Wingnut in Iowa

Washington (CNN) Chris Christie tore into a gun rights activist who questioned his Second Amendment record in an Iowa town hall event Saturday night, displaying the fiery and confrontational style the New Jersey governor is known for.

“I’m still waiting for one fact from you, one fact about me being anti-gun,” Christie scolded the man. “Give me one. One fact. Got one?”

The four-minute exchange at an Ankeny event was with a man who didn’t identify himself by name but told reporters there he is affiliated with the Iowa Gun Owners, a gun-rights group.

The man pressed Christie about a statewide gun owner identification program — “I vetoed that,” Christie shot back — and about what was apparently a 20-year-old Christie campaign ad in which he attacks an opponent for seeking to repeal an assault rifle ban in New Jersey.

“That ad was from 1995. Let me ask you this, if you haven’t changed your mind once in 20 years, if you haven’t changed your mind in 20 years on any issue, then I’ll tell you, you’re not a thinking, breathing, living human being,” Christie said.

And that, folks, is how you deal with a know-nothing who spouts untruths he got from the internet.

“When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it’s too late.”

“Don’t give over all of your critical faculties to people in power, no matter how admirable those people may appear to be. Beneath the hero’s facade you will find a human being who makes human mistakes. Enormous problems arise when human mistakes are made on the grand scale available to a superhero. And sometimes you run into another problem.”

Strident is fine in my book, but that guy was just plain wrong and clearly hadn’t checked his talking points. He probably doesn’t think he was wrong even now, since in GOA World Chris Christie is a “Worthless RINO”, so his favoring gun control is what is really going in the Sight of God and so it OK to ignore facts to get at the “reel troof”.

The best term I’ve heard for that kind of behavior is “Failed Historian Conspiracism”.

Disease can be spread by chitterlings not cleaned properly and undercooked. Pathogens include E. coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Salmonella. Chitterlings are often soaked and rinsed thoroughly in several different cycles of cool water, and repeatedly picked clean by hand, removing extra fat, undigested food, and specks of feces. They may then be turned inside out, cleaned and boiled, sometimes in baking soda and/or salt, and the water discarded.

Mind you, when you are preparing diner, after having bought four bags of what is supposed to be “already” cleaned Chitterlins and feces shots out across the sink landing in your Gumbo, which costs all of $90.00 to make, you become annoyed. The smell was all of horrific. Did I panic? No. I called my lawyer. The FDA will certainly get to hear of this. I am thinking like, according to my lawyer, you endangered my life.

But this week, Abe Foxman outdid his persistent and stalwart defense of the President at the expense of Israel’s defenders. Michael Oren, the renowned historian, Israel’s former Ambassador to the United States, and current member of the Knesset, published a comprehensive article in Foreign Policy critical of President Obama’s failed strategy in the Middle East. Rather than applaud Mr. Oren’s honesty and accuracy in dissecting the Obama Administration’s Middle East mess, Abe honed in on one paragraph in which Oren suggested that as “a child raised by a Christian mother [Obama] might see himself as a natural bridge between her two Muslim husbands.” Mr. Oren then speculated that Obama’s abandonment by his fathers “could lead him, many years later, to seek acceptance by their co-religionists.” An apoplectic Abe Foxman accused Mr. Oren of “insensitive and unjustified attack on the President,” and even demanded that Mr. Oren “walk back” his words, which he claimed were “borderline stereotyping” and “veer into the realm of conspiracy theories.”

WTF, Oren?

Blood stew is prolly tasty tho, but no chits plz.

A Russian deli opened across the street from where I worked in the early 90’s (Highland Village in St. Paul was the home to lots of Russian immigrants). I used to go over and ask him to make a sandwich and he’d just start cutting meat and piling it on to some really dry slices of rye bread until I’d end up with a sandwich over 3” thick and I had no idea what was in it. It would last me for two days.

I got sick after eating his borscht one day and I never trusted his food after that. The deli didn’t stay in business very long. It had a GREAT burgers and malts place right next door (Snuffy’s).

It didn’t smell good. I mean it smelled terrible. When I say “terrible”, I’m not referring to any kind of “terrible” that food should ever smell like. I’ve known some unpleasant smelling dished in my time, but they were all clearly food aromas, albeit unappetizing. This was in a different league. This was the kind of terrible that would embarrass you if your bathroom smelled that way. Yes, it smelled evil. A kind of evil that took us a while to put our finger on. In the meantime (unfortunately in hindsight), Charlotte took another few apprehensive bites.

“It stinks!” Charlotte commented, “What is that?”. She holds the fork in front of her face. “It smells like B.O. No… It actually smells like poop! It’s horrible!”

I friend caught some yellowtail the other day and brought me a steak. Was going to make poke with the inner third and maybe cook the rest. But got busy and it stayed in the fridge for two days. Come home late from work and it had a few white spots on the surface… no poke or sashimi.

Heated up olive oil
Pressed a bunch of ‘rice topping’ made of sesame, seaweed, and bonito flake - think fish food for humanz
Seared that bad boy for 4 mins a side
deglazed pan with half a pint of local microbrew red ale, extra malty with low hops
cooked down, added more rice topping

Let rest. Top with oily glaze, eat. Wife thinks I’m awesome.

Went diving today, and after several weeks of working with new and novice divers, I got to dive with a couple of buddies that have some dives under their belts.

3 dives to 90+ feet for 30 minutes each. 44 degrees and great visibility (30-50 feet). Water was 82* down to about 20 feet, then 67* down to about 50 feet, 53* till you got to about 70 feet, then 44* down to the bottom. Usually only have 3 distinct layers, not 4 like there is right now.

I love working with novice and new divers, but swimming around at 20 feet gets a bit old after a while. We got to check out some places in the quarry we hadn’t seen before. We could have stayed longer by working up into the moderate depths, but one of the guys is a real air-hog so we decided that we’d stay as deep as possible until he signaled he was getting low, then just ascend up to the surface.

I know. As much as I love Tennessee generally, that was a huge shock, coming here from 6 years in Tacoma / Seattle area and a year in Alaska. Down here more often than not your choice in fish is “catfish - fried’, ‘catfish-broiled’ or ‘catfish-baked’ Now I’ve learned that good farm raised catfish, prepared right and not overcooked is a real treat, but it’s just not the same thing.

One of my nursing school classmates once ran a scuba operation in Mexico with a business partner My classmate took the tourists out diving and the partner handled the business. One day a man died during a dive in an underwater cave. When the police came to check out the situation the partner told them my classmate was in charge and went straight to the airport. My classmate endured eight hours of intense questioning and set out by car that night because he didn’t trust what the police were trying to do. He was afraid they were setting him up for some sort of judicial kidnapping, like he would have to pay them money to make the case go away.

re: #230 Romantic Heretic

Don’t you have to be as careful with lion fish as you do with fugu (pufferfish)?

Nope. The toxin is all in the spines

NO! Lionfish are venomous not poisonous! There are 2 glandular grooves along the dorsal, ventral and anal spines. The glandular tissue extends about 3/4 the distance from the base of the spine towards the tip. The glandular grooves contain a colorless glandular tissue, and they are covered by a sheath of tissue. This sheath is pushed down as the spine enters the victim and the glandular tissue is disrupted, releasing the venom. The venom is composed of acetylcholine and a neurotoxin which causes severe pain, swelling and rash in humans. From SafeSpear

The best description I’ve heard from somebody that got hit by a spine was “Imagine putting your hand on a table and somebody hitting it with a hammer for 4 hours straight.”

re: #251 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

I used to go to a Pizza joint that had a lionfish in an open aquarium right in the lobby. Anybody could have stuck their arm in there!

There was a pet store in a mall near where I once lived. It had a saltwater aquarium for display purposes at the front. They had a lionfish in there. Small but still.

One day I was looking into it, enjoying the sights. A small group of teenage boys pulled up. “Lookit the fish with all the spines!” exclaims one.

“I bet I could pick it up,” states another.

My thoughts waffled between telling the young man exactly what the consequences would be and saying “Please proceed.” for the lulz.

Fortunately like most teenagers he was more bluster than action.

A number of years ago at a Boston area aunt & uncle’s 50th anniversary party, said aunt walked around all the tables to visit and thank us for coming. This aunt, my dad’s little sistah, was one of the funniest people I have ever known. What made her so hilarious was that she never intended to be funny - she was essentially George’s Gracie, and sincerely that innocent. So as she visited the rowdy (and at this point quite snockered) cousins’ table, she asked us about our chosen entrees - we’d had the choice of roast beef or fish - explaining her choice of entree in her thick Boston accent thusly:

“I can get scrod every night of the week…”

We were like, “Wow, no wonder you made it 50 years! Go Uncle Ed!”

I’m no fan of Huckabee, and consider him to be one of the leading poster boys of what is wrong with the US Republican Party; but stray dogs and especially packs of stray dogs in rural areas are a menace.

So dunno if the zhuckabees live in the country or the city.

Stray dogs are also a menace in municipal areas, but you can just call animal control. Had a pack of 6 dogs without collars running thru my yard and around the neighborhood last week.

Stray dogs in rural areas harass & kill livestock and since they have no fear of humans, a pack of stray dogs can and will attack humans.

The attack came around 6:20 p.m., when Edith Sampson Playground Park at the corner of Piety and Treasure streets was crowded with family gatherings and several children were playing inside two inflatable “space walkers,” witnesses said.

re: #320 The War TARDIS

By this, I mean that they are from nations that have a chronic FGM-Problem.

This is seen in states where Shafi’i predominates, and local culture forces the issue.

And, there have been the stirrings of a problem, though it looks like the US was reasonably proactive.

In the United States the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated in 1997 that 168,000 women and girls living there in 1990 had undergone FGM or were at risk.[214] A preliminary, unpublished, CDC study in 2015 reportedly estimated that around 500,000 women and girls in the US had undergone FGM or were likely to undergo it.[215] A Nigerian woman successfully contested deportation in March 1994 on the grounds that her daughters might be cut.[216] In 1996 Fauziya Kasinga from Togo became the first to be granted asylum to escape FGM,[217] although, as of 2006, several federal appellate courts have held that a parent cannot receive asylum based on a fear that their child will be subjected to FGM, particularly where the children are legal residents or citizens of the United States.[218]

In 1996 it became illegal under Title 18 of the United States Code, § 116, to perform FGM on minors for non-medical reasons,[219] and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 prohibited transporting a minor out of the country for the purpose of FGM.[220] The American Academy of Pediatrics opposes all forms of the practice. In 2010 it suggested that “pricking or incising the clitoral skin” was a harmless procedure that might satisfy parents, but withdrew the statement after complaints.[221] The first FGM conviction in the US was in 2006, when Khalid Adem, who had emigrated from Ethiopia, was sentenced to ten years after severing his two-year-old daughter’s clitoris with a pair of scissors.

He said he would be trying again, but not sure how the formula would have exactly changed. More people in the +-5 year range are married, and going older than that causes a disconnect in terms of experiences.
