Huckabee: ‘Most’ Prisoners In The U.S. ‘Would Love’ To Be In Guantanamo

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell condemned the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay yesterday, calling it “a major problem for America’s perception” and charging, “if it was up to me, I would close Guantanamo — not tomorrow, this afternoon.”

Later, on CNN’s Late Edition, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) expressed his disagreement with Powell about closing Guantanamo, saying “most of our prisoners would love to be in a facility more like Guantanamo and less like the state prisons that people are in in the United States.”

Pressed by Blitzer to address the fact that “detainees are being held, by and large, without charges, without any evidence,” which is “causing a smear on the U.S. reputation,” Huckabee said it didn’t matter because hypothetically, “if we let somebody out” they could “come and fly an airliner into one of our skyscrapers.” Watch it:

3. Spoken like the white racist male that Mr. Huc kabee most indeed is
who has never had an ounce of care in the world of being locked up in a box for no other reason than the color of his skin.

People like Mr. Huckabee want those who have different colored skin and different cultural backgrounds to be locked up.

He doesn't care if they haven't broken any laws.

The KKK still thrives.......

5. Maybe he should start with his airport-gun-toting son

<snip>
District Judge Lee Munson gave Huckabee a one-year suspended jail sentence and ordered him into 10 days of community service — which Huckabee can avoid by paying $100. Huckabee will be on probation for a year. Fines and costs totaled $855.

The disorder that causes Republicans to talk out of their asses, the only logical explanation for absurd statements like this.
