Huckabee to Anti-Union Crowd: Deflate Car Tires and Mislead Voters

Former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has some advice for people who support the anti-union law passed in Ohio that faces a statewide repeal vote on November 8: Find out who's voting to repeal the bill and block them from ballot box. The onetime Arkansas governor suggested deflating tires and giving these voters the wrong election date. "That's up to you, how you creatively get the job done," Huckabee quipped.

Huckabee's remarks came during an appearance on Friday in Mason, Ohio, before a crowd of 350 people, according to MasonBuzz, a local blog that first reported the remarks. On November 8, Ohioans will vote on Issue 2, a much-contested ballot referendum on whether to repeal Gov. John Kasich's controversial anti-union legislation (known as SB 5) that curbed collective bargaining rights for his state's public-sector unions. Recent polls have shown that a majority of Ohioans support repealing Kasich's bill. Enter Huckabee. He has been stumping for voting yes on Issue 2—that is, to uphold Kasich's anti-union bill—urging members of the audience to do the same, and to pray in support of the measure. As part of his plea, Huckabee told the Mason crowd:

Don't vote alone. Vote with someone—family, friends, relatives, people you work with. Make a list. Make a list of 10 family members, 10 friends, 10 neighbors, 10 folks you work with or have worked with in the past and call them and ask them, 'Are you gonna vote on issue, and are you gonna vote for it?'

If they say no, well, you just make sure that they don't go vote. Let the air out of their tires on election day. Tell them the election has been moved to a different date."

That IS Conspiracy to Deprive an American Citizen of their Constitutional Right to Vote.

"Voter Fraud" is when somebody uses a phony ID (or other means) to vote more than once,
or to vote in an election in which they are note entitled to vote.

either a felony or a federal crime or both.

I was even hoping that this could be presented as a Hate Crime.
It certainly qualifies in MY Book.
But, unfortunately, I'm not the King.
Things would be SO much better if I were.

you do to get out your voters.

to suppress any other candidates voters.

It's always in cash.

and had I been told to do something like that I would have reported it to the Secretary of State's office.

and no i did not.

Voter fraud is when an individual voter votes when he/she is legally barred from doing so. This is a very minor problem but touted regularly by the right as a huge problem (with no evidence to back up their claim, of course.)

Election fraud is what Huckabee is advocating. It is a broad effort to defraud voters out of their opportunity to exorcise the franchise.

what you want to bet huck wouldn't contribute a dime to the defense fund for the people he advised to commit criminal acts?

fuck that fat pig.

but THREE times :banghead:

Fortunately, everyone in my family thinks he's an idiot.

Wonder how much this whore is getting payed to fuck with the repeal vote???

sick minister

keep his fat trap shut.

Openly advocating interference in people's right to vote? SERIOUSLY?

preferably video and audio.

I doubt having video matters here; he isn't trying to claim the remarks aren't his.

Rethuglican style.

Ha. Ha. Huck. You've proven you're just like the rest of your party. When you know you're going to lose, resort to dirty tricks and cheats. You're a real comedian, there, Huckster.

Bake

Guitar player?

I heard that the Huckster plays bass ...

:hi:

Bake

put air back in them.

It's better when you get the vans that drive people.

And you put up signs for rides to the poles for your opponent's supporters with a number that goes to your people and keep them thinking until the polls are closed that the vans are coming.

And, quite frankly, disgusting.

him and his kenya mau mau comments. and this is a man of god? he should hope I don't ever pass him in the street, I'll kick him in ther balls so hard his nuts will shoot out his ears at mach 1. It would be worth the arrest.

That's the usual cop-out for these RW sleazebags.

Ask yourself:

How many days would this dominate the news cycle if a current or former Democratic governor had said something like this?

The coverage would have been non-stop. Special resolutions would be passed condemning the speech. There would be outrage if there is no prosecution.

But since Huckabee is a republican, what little coverage there might be will be to dismiss it as a another example of how liberals don't have a sense of humor.

were falling for an act.

Pretty impressive there, Gomer...
