Huckabee got that 100% right!

You could say that Westboro Baptist Church has every right to speak at the 9/11 memorial.  They found a sense of healing in using 9/11 to spread a message of hate and adding hardship to the loved ones of dead soldiers.  Knowing the Westboro Baptist Church, they will exploit that constitutional loophole to sue the city of New York for not giving them fair representation at the 9/11 site.  Let’s just agree that this wasn’t about discriminating against a religion.  This was to avoid discrimination lawsuits for the city. 

Sometimes Huckabee gets it right. This is one of those times.

I am sick of the double standards being practiced by all sides. We want the Muslims to show us they are against and or are sorry for the behavior of the few but when they want to participate we want to shut them down. I want them front and center in this saying how sorry they are that some of there fellow Muslims did this. Participating in how it should not happen again. That better be what it is they want to say.

Dumbest thing America could do is let Mooooooooooooooooooslums anywhere near Ground Zero.  

dumbass

I do think that Huckabee is right…… However; doing the right thing, and then something happens; the backlash from the fringe will be something to see……
might be interesting in the city tomorrow………..

You can’t let every religion show up.  That would be chaotic.  Who do you discriminate against?

Huckabee makes some sense. Who would have thunk?

The thought of career politicians rubbing their little cockroach feelers together in anticipation of taking that stage to show how compassionate they are makes me queasy. 

And…who the hell are they to say that the first responders, who risked and often gave everything that day can’t be part of the tribute. Most of them were running in circles and squealing for Auntie Em that day while better men and women died.

My God, those politician asshats are shameless.

Wrong.

Not 100%. But he made a lot more sense then most republicans on the subject at hand.

People of different faiths coming together is a bad thing?

glutton is a coward. he lives in fear :)

Yeah, definitely a leftist socialist marxist communist idea.

not me.

“and that anyone who would protest Muslim clerics at such a ceremony would be “inappropriate” and “ridiculous.””

Huckabee just described most of the teabaggers on this site.

Most?

 Do you know how many religions there are in America?  How do you select which ones get represented and which ones don’t get represented without offending someone?  Religion and 9/11 mixed together is just asking for problems.

I’m not a coward.  I’m not scared of no Moooooooooooooose Slum.  I just think we saw what Park51 brought up, and this is just begging for problems.

Didn’t the Tea Party try to organize a national “Burn the Koran Day” on 9/11 a couple years back?

BTW. Where was god on 9/11?

I wish I’d have come up with “cockroach feelers.”

Being that I have seen hidden camera video saying his beliefs are otherwise, I don’t applaud. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. and that’s sad.

His brain works better on a full stomach, a very full stomach.

Scientology.

You will, Frances. You will. ;)

Yikes!

you are a coward with no balls

or you don’t mean what you say

which is it?

no, that was an old white dude and a congregation of 30 people.

Given thst people are still up in arms about Muslims having a recreational center NEAR (not AT) “Ground Zero”, to say that there would not be attacks and protests against Muslim religious figures actually AT GZ on a day memorializing what happened on 9/11…. that claim itself is too ridiculous to believe. Oh, it certainly would be completely inappropriate and distasteful to the occasion, but when have courtesy, forethought, wisdom, respect or simple good manners ever stopped people from being completely insensitive, racist, loudmouthed idiots?

(And yes, looking around these forums, the word “irony” comes to mind…)

To your question, “Where was God on 9/11?”

Why do you discriminate against Scientology?  Are you a Scienphobic bigot?

The Huck is not happy. 

Sounds like a Tea Party rally to me.

This guy is just about as dumb as they come.

Indeed, I think they did.  My point was that it’s probably more than “most.”  Like, damn near all.

 No, because GOD didn’t this great nation.  A few great men did, but not “God”.

My bad. He did get that part wrong.

Are you kidding me. Saying a prayer makes you a hero? 

It was a single whackjob in Florida that had nothing to do with the tea party.  But then again, you knew that.

We’ll have Bush (a Christian), Bloomberg (a Jew), Obama (a Moose Slim).  That’s religious diversity enough for 9/11.

A voice of reasoned sanity here from Mike Huckabee, but Bloomberg, I can see wanted the commemoration to be entirely secular. Its almost impossible to get a consensus on a moment like this, but Bloomberg is the Mayor.

Whenever Westboro Baptist Church is mentioned, it is necessary (since the MSM will not) to point out the fact that it’s pastor ran for office several times (and failed, thank God) as a democrat.  Just sayin’.

The Fox pundit would say the same thing, that ‘Mayor Bloomberg has succeeded in offending everyone’ if he had invited Muslim and Christian clergy.  This kind of ‘reasoned sanity’ should have been coming from Fox during the mosque two blocks from ground zero ‘controversy’.  But it wasn’t.

Anyone who wants to participate in the ceremony should be allowed to.

What’s your point? I was questioning Huck’s equating helping someone to pray to being a hero. I didn’t say anything about religious diversity.

There was a list circulating online of all the imams scholars and academics etc of Muslims who condemned the attacks If I can find it I would post it

The innocent 9/11
victims whom were killed, their families and loved ones, all have suffered
because centuries old conflicts between the leaders of the various leaders of
the Abrahamic
religious sects. Perhaps the self-proclaimed religious leaders whom were
offended because they were not invited to use the bully-pulpit can instead use
the time to contemplate, meditate, or pray seeking solutions to religious
warfare.

What an a-hole. He DOES know there were muslims who died on 9/11 right?

Obama read from Psalm 46: “The nations raged, the kingdoms were
moved. He uttered his voice. The earth melted. The Lord of Hosts is with
us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Come behold the works of the Lord
who has made desolations in the Earth. He makes wars cease to the ends
of the Earth.” No clergy was needed.

You are really ignorant and the hatred you spew is juvenile. So much for the Bible’s directive to love your brother. I think there is a special place in hell for people like you. It is you and people like you who are destroying this county.

I quit caring what “Huck” had to say a long time ago. He’s a “minister” who’s portrayed Pres. Obama as something other than “American”. Shame on him.

Good article, but please learn the difference between “nothing” and “noting”!
