Partial OT:

Mike Huckabee blasts Glenn Beck

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a bone to pick with Glenn Beck. The current Fox News host isn’t pleased that Beck, a departing Fox News host, has called him a progressive, a term which Beck has also previously likened to cancer and the Nazi movement.

Beck also compared Huckabee to Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain on his radio show Tuesday, labeling both as progressives, because of Huckabee’s vocal support for Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity initiatives.

“I think Mike Huckabee is the one, if you are somebody who understands progressives are on both sides of the aisle, I think Mike Huckabee is John McCain,” he said.

SNIP

Either way, Huckabee is crying foul at his inclusion with Beck’s blistering metaphors for progressivism.

“He seems to fancy himself a prophet of sorts for his linking so many people and events together to describe a massive global conspiracy for pretty much everything,” he wrote.

“His ridiculous claim that John McCain and I collaborated and conspired in the 2008 campaign is especially laughable…Beck needs to stick to conspiracies that can’t be so easily de-bunked by facts.”

And Huckabee wasn’t through. “Why Beck has decided to aim his overloaded guns on me is beyond me,” he continued.

“He ought to clean his gun and point it more carefully lest it blow up in his face like it did this time.”

So because Huck is actually doing something smart (endorsing an anti-obesity campaign, a cause Huckabee has long supported), he’s a “progressive”. To Beck anything that Michelle Obama supports is automatically evil and anyone who feels otherwise is a Progressive. Stay classy, Glen!
