Probably the first correct thing you’ve said in a long time

God bless you, Governor!

“Treat people like you’d want to be treated,” Huckabee said.

Now some are raising issue with Huckabee’s character, principally his judgment, CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports.

They are focusing on his association with the televangelist, who has refused to cooperate with a Senate investigation into his ministry’s finances.

At issue, as reported by CBS News last week: whether millions of dollars in tax-exempt church donations have been used to bankroll a lavish lifestyle and a slew of private, for-profit businesses.

“Mr. Huckabee has terrible judgment because not only is he being closely associated with someone under this ethical cloud, but he’s refusing to distance himself,” said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics In Washington.

When Huckabee appeared on Copleland’s show, the evangelist said “Gov. Huckabee is not here in any kind of political role.”

After his appearance, like many guests, Huckabee stayed overnight at the ministry’s lavish 18,000 square foot lakefront home.

“All I know is he’s a delightful human being,” Huckabee said of Copeland.

But, before the show aired, Grassley’s probe went public. So Copeland went back to the ex-Arkansas governor with an offering.

“I said, ‘Governor, if this will negatively impact your campaign in any way, I won’t run it,’” Copeland said. “He hollered at me on the phone and said, ‘Are you kidding me?’”

CBS News has learned that Copeland’s family has donated more than $29,000 to Huckabee’s campaign.

And just three weeks ago - when Huckabee was on the financial ropes - Copeland helped raise thousands more from hundreds of ministers attending a meeting at his West Texas headquarters. Nobody is saying how much.

“If it’s legal, legitimate, honest contributions, I’m not sure what the premise would be for giving that money back,” Huckabee said.

For some, it may well be the premise of a presidential candidate not practicing what he preaches.

RGR, THANKS! HOWEVER, EVEN IF THEY, JUST GLOSS OVER IT THEIR HIND BRAIN;
(NO DISRESPECT INTENDED) STILL SEE’S AND THEIR MIND STILL PROCCESSES THE
DATA. HAVING BEEN AWARE OF THE DATA. AND, THE PROCESS OF HYPNOSIS,
AND INFORMATION RETRIEVAL, FROM, JUST GLANCING AT THE NEWSPAPER PAGE.
THEN TURNING TO THE NEXT VERY RAPIDLY, DURING THE RECALL OF THE WHOLE PAGE WAS ALMOST PHOTOGRAPHIC IN IT ACCURACY. THIS IS ALSO A TECHNIQUE FOR MEMORY ENHANCEMENT. MADE ILLEGAL FOR MOVIES AND COMMERCIALS ETC. RE: SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES. SO MAYBE THERE IS A METHOD THERE AND A MESSAGE TOO?

END TRANS: MARV!

In typical fashion when talking about Huckabee there is a mix-and-match approach to facts and falsehoods. the amount is wrong, the location is right, the allegation - “hasn’t cooperated” is not true. It is simple if you don’t like people of faith, lie about them or exagerate.

Having been falsely accused myself I truly believe “Innocent until proven guilty” not “guilty by the news media, because we don’t like him.”

IS THIS SHORT AND TO THE POINT?<<<

Yes….much better. Thank you. I actually read that one. And those other long re-posts like the one by chris that is 10 pages long. Most people don’t read them either. I tend to be verbose myself and I have to remind myself to be short and sweet because I could go on for hours. Just trying to help you out, brother.
