Woo-hoo, the Seattle police just cold gunned down a black guy! But not just a regular standing-around black guy, an actual alleged cop killer who is likely the guy — eh, he can’t sue now, right? — okay, the actual cop-killing sonofabitch, totally dead, “shot and killed in South Seattle early this morning by a Seattle police officer making a routine check of a stolen car.” Yes! This is basically what every policeman is thinking during every traffic stop, so it’s a good thing this one worked out. Also, Mike Huckabee, when are you going to denounce yourself?
The Palin-Drones are super happy to be rid of “Nice Mike,” what with his real-America credentials such as being a fat-ass, and actually knowing how to hunt wild animals, and being an actual Evangelical Jesus Reverend instead of some phony dingbat who has her ghostwriter mention God in every sentence, but otherwise avoids church because it’s “too much work.”
RedState happily notes that soft-on-negro-criminals Mike Huckabee pardoned a DOZEN convicted murderers, many of whom may be murdering white people right now:
With the Washington State police killings, people will probably pay attention in a different way now.
As Fournier noted at the time, while Mike Huckabee was Governor of Arkansas, he granted “1,033 pardons and commutations, including for 12 convicted murderers.”
To quote a different preacher, those chickens are now coming home to roost in inconvenient ways.
Ha ha, that’s what the Lord Jesus says in John 3:16, “Those chickens are now coming home to roost in inconvenient ways.” But Jesus was talking about Al Gore, so come on.
Anyway, Huckabee nows says he’s “less likely” to run for the GOP nomination in 2012, because can you imagine what Sarah Palin’s going to say about this, during the rare campaign stop when she’s not leading a chant of “Lynch Obama and other coloreds”?
And Tim Pawlenty (remember him? neither do we), he wants the Palin nuts to know that he sure never pardoned any cop killers, not him.
Ugh, the families of these poor cops have it bad enough, with the pointless executions of their loved ones. Must make it so much better to watch it turn into a Republican primary contest. [RedState/Washington Post/The Hill/Seattle Times]

A statement by the families of the slain cops, saying “don’t politicize this horrible event,” would go a long way to stop the conservatard grandstanding which would otherwise occur.
Oh who am I kidding… might as well wish for an unrestricted public health care option.
Jesus also said: “This is my body: EAT ME!”
I think Governor Humpyfuck should make that a campaign slogan, seeing how he’s a holy roller reverend and all.
Huckabee’s book is coming out in a new edition “Quit digging your grave with a knife, fork and that pen you use to sign pardons with”.
[re=468771]Chain Tattoo[/re]: Jesus also said: “This is my body: EAT ME!”
Mike Huckabee hears donuts saying “EAT ME!” every damn minute. Then again, I hear it too. It’s my inner lard-ass, trying to break free, and let me be the 800 pounder that I could be if I just ate every damn thing in sight. Damn donuts!
Hey, I live FOUR BLOCKS FROM WHERE HE WAS GUNNED DOWN and I’m all about making this a political moment. Mostly because I am an unlovable, heartless beast-thing.
No tag backs and no fair ripping off Lee Atwater!
Willie Horton just endorsed Huck.
Of course, this guy, whose draconian sentence probably did deserve commuting (though not for Huck’s reasoning, that he began worshiping a dead guy), will drag down Huckabee’s chances, even though the previous murderer who was released from a rape conviction by Huck did not. Of course, that guy was released for illegitimate reasons, because insane conspiracy theorist conservatives thought he was framed by Clinton.
Huckabee’s very existence is a holocaust to all the light loving plants eternally thwarted by having to contend with the vast shadow he gives off.
i never pardoned any cop-killers or molesters or rapers or robbers or anything like that. can i be president? i’m easily bought.
[re=468768]memzilla[/re]: Exactly. See “9/11 widows.” Republicans know that politics is for hedge fund managers, football coaches, lobbyists and slavers – NOT people living in the real world.
[re=468773]Sparky McGruff[/re]: I moved to France to escape the talking donuts. Worked for awhile, but as my French improved I started to hear the croissants imploring “Mangez-moi” and I was right back where I started.
It’s been fun watching the tap dancing going on over at the FOX network. O’Reilly “forgave” Huckabee last night on his show. This is the same O’Reilly who regularly ambushes “activist” judges who hand down sentences he doesn’t think are harsh enough.
And the same FOX network run by Roger Ailes who once said of an ad he created about Willie Horton “the only question is whether we depict Willie Horton with a knife in his hand or without it.”
Looking forward to the new promos Ailes comes up with for Huckabee’s show.
[re=468779]Buzz Feedback[/re]: How about that. He’s still alive

Slobbering ghoulishness — finally a public option the GOP can get behind.
Bill Gates is safe, though, right? Nobody has shot Bill Gates, right?
Warren, Cheney, Attention Whores, and now Huckabee?!
(The Obama/Afghanistan thing was bad enough!)
My bleeding heart makes my head hurt!
RedState invoking Malcolm X? Meghan McCain alluding to Hunter S. Thompson? To quote Vince Lombardi, “What the hell is going on around here?”
I would point out that this guy convinced not one, but two parole boards in Arkansas to release him after Huckabee’s grant of clemency nine years ago, and that a crazed, out-of-nowhere killing spree does not invalidate the inherent good of allowing an executive the power to pardon.
But this is Mike Huckabee, who out of all the known Republican hopefuls for 2000 is the one most capable of simulating actual human emotion. He can be genuine, self-deprecating and relatable to the public at large, and thus I hope that even more vicious and unfounded falsehoods crop up around this story.
[re=468774]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Is Sarah Palin standing on the guy’s dead body right now?
And not to point out the obvious, but pardoning heinous criminals is probably EXACTLY what Jesus would do.
So I’m assuming all the bible wing of the party is lining up to support Huckabee.
If Democratic governors hadn’t put the cop killer in jail, Huckabee would never have been forced to pardon him.
Well well well.
Is sarah palin and inch closer to the nomination?
People better start talking or she will still look good to the loons in ’12
[re=468796]magic titty[/re]: Once someone’s dead, it becomes easy for the right-wing punditry to try and misappropriate their message, no matter how much conservatives may have hated them while alive. You see it all the time with Martin Luther King.
Or maybe the conservative movement is just trying to invoke the spirit of the 60s. In that case, they’re doing it wrong; about the only thing the teabaggers have in common with the hippies is the lack of bathing and consequent body odor.
Somewhere the ghost of Lee Atwater is crying “Caught in our web of racism!”
Honestly, given how many “convicted murderers” are actually guilty of being near a crime scene whilst brown, I’m honestly a little surprised that he’s only commuted and/or pardoned a dozen or so.
Oh, wait. Arkansas. Never mind, then.
That’s it, every fucking news event from today forward will be framed in the context of crowning the next Presidentalist in 2012.
To a “Palin Drone”, everything backwards looks totally normal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSvD5SM_uI4 Also, if the zombie cop killing black feller is not dead, undead, like Bela Lugosi, then will Sarah Palin shoot him from her snowmobilly death panel gone wild like abstinence only pubic option? Huh? Will she?
[re=468796]magic titty[/re]: What the hell is going on around here?
There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children,
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it’s time we stop, hey,
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It’s time we stop, hey,
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line
The man come and take you away
We better stop, hey,
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, hey,
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, now,
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, children,
What’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
[re=468768]memzilla[/re]: They might be a bit busy now, dealing with the shock of the sudden death of husband/wife, father/mother to think about how it might affect the Republican primaries in a few years.
[re=468801]hockeymom[/re]: I’d imagine Jesus would have the good sense to stay out of politics… – Mike Huckabee
By the way, that line always left me wondering who the fuck thought it made Huckabee look smart, in a “good sense” sort of way.
Anyhoo, I really came here to blow and go with the comment that this Seattle cop is a definite hero. He saved the taxpayers the cost of incarcerating this worthless human and the a trial. When it’s this cut and dried, I say execute ‘em on the spot. It’s the Murikan way.
Another impediment to the TPaw uuggernaught’s unerring path to the White House in 2013 has been removed. Feel the glory!

[re=468796]magic titty[/re]: Now that W is out of power, the wingers are adopting the rebel aesthetic that they once so dearly loved to paint as “unpatriotic”. It’s funny. Just think of the poutrage if Cindy Sheehan had paraphrased Malcolm X in 2005.
[re=468817]shadowMark[/re]: “For What It’s Worth” the song: kinda tired of it after all these years. Not all that profound when you see the words written out that way.

[re=468800]Cape Clod[/re]: I’m sure she’s angry that she didn’t get a chance to shoot him from a helicopter. She probably thinks it’s ironic, because she campaigned on a message of hope, and shooting dark moving things with high-powered rifles.
Willie Horton times infinity forever and ever. Amen.

An Inconvenient Roost?
Hoisted on his own pitard.
Also.
Oh my God, Ken Layne, you managed to make me laugh about something very sad. But seriously, all the conservative dingbat retards here in Seattle are NOT blaming Mike Huckabee. Instead it is our libruhl King & Pierce county judges (“These damn counties are why we have Gregoire and Comrade Obama in office,” sayeth my bus driver this morning to a bus full of nodding gremlins) who are to blame for the colored cop killer.
Every time something happens that shows what scum sucking hypocrits the Republicans, Christists, and conservatives in general, are, liberals assume that that will be the end of that particular iteration of double-douchebag-standards for the right wingnuts.
That will be proved wrong, again. Trust me. They have no shame, moral consistency, memory or bottom line. Fuck em all with a red hot poker, I say with all due religiousity.
[re=468774]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: I know about three people that live about 4 blocks from where he was gunned down. Go Beacon Hill!

[re=468843]bago[/re]: I lived on Beacon Hill for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS. Wait, oh. Five and a half months, actually.
We must surely be in the midst of the End Times, if Mike Huckabee’s decision not to run for president is potentially a Bad Thing.
Has ‘person of interest’ Clemmons been upgraded to guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? I have not seen an explanation of how they decided he did it.
Cop shoots cop-killer. Dog bites man.
If he was Mormon, he’d be so used to broadcasting propaganda in the face of undeniable facts as to persevere and run in 2012. I’ll miss his hilarious “God’s cool with war and tax cuts” platform delivered with “preaching-lies-with-a-smile” charm in the Republican debates, sigh.
The chickens coming home to roost had better beware the deep fryer.
OK, so yesterday, there were reports that the cops had this guy holed up in a house and the Seattle Times reported, specifically “Police shoot into a house during a search for Maurice Clemmons after a standoff that lasted several hours early Monday morning.”
Turns out he wasn’t there. Later, they find this guy during a traffic stop.
So, uh, are the Seattle cops just shooting into houses at random now?
Spike: where they shot the guy is not far from where this house is. Who knows what this dude was up to?
Also see that BillO is the Huckster’s big enabler, blaming Washington State judges for this bad guy’s low bail. Billo claims that the judges set bail at $15k on a child rape case, which is bullshit, because that’s what the bail bondsman asked for, not the actual bail. Therefore, Billo is a dick.
@Paul Tardy: They found one of the dead cops’ guns on this Clemmons punk. Good enough for me.
[re=468817]shadowMark[/re]: That should be our National Anthem.

One thing Pallin isn’t is a phony digbat. She may be a digbat phony but she still a real digbat.
[re=468860]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Hope that street has gotten less scary since I was very nearly carjacked there back in ’86. Driving through there in my old chevy convertible, top down, on my way home after a gig with a back seat full of expensive-looking guitars and amps. Sitting at a red light waiting for it to change. Fortunately, my drummer was sober/paranoid enough to notice the two young pigmented fellows come out of the shadows and start running up to us, one pulling a gun out of his jacket.
“Uhh… Tim! GO!!!”
[re=468781]Mr Blifil[/re]: Is that a “holocaust” or a “Holocaust”?
Don’t forget that Huckabee once pardoned a convicted rapist because some Mena Airport Conspiracy Buffs thought it would be a slap to Bill Clinton. I wish we could wait until after the Republican Convention for people to get to know this asshole.
[re=468920]PoetryMan[/re]: The Huckcaust.
[re=468768]memzilla[/re]: Not so sure. Aren’t cops just a bunch of Union Thugs beholden to the Liberals? It would probably just reinforce what conservatards already believed.
Even Clinton executed a mentally retarded inmate who saved his last meal dessert to eat afterwards. Someone who believes in mercy has no chance of being elected President.
Not only should Huckabee denounce himself, but he should recuse himself from being Mike Huckabee in the future, just to be safe.
From Mike’s Xmas Album!

[re=468862]Paul Tardy[/re]: Clemmons bragged the night before the murders that he was going to go on a killing spree, incl. cops. The baristas picked him out of a montage (he has….err had a distinctive mole on his face). He was running around the city, eluding LE, dripping blood from a close-range gunshot wound to his gut, courtesy of one of the dead cops. He was found with one of the dead cop’s guns on him. I think they got the right guy.
[re=468828]magic titty[/re]: Crosby, Stills, and Nash..
[re=468880]Spike[/re]: No, it was pretty awful here the last couple of days. He had family and friends giving him money, medical care (he was seriously wounded in the abdomen by one of the cops he killed), transportation and cell phones. There was an all out manhunt going on in Seattle for this guy. Friends in Leschi had to deal with the second manhunt for a cop killer in less than a month. That said, it took exactly five comments in the Seattle Times before the killing was blamed on Obama.
[re=468862]Paul Tardy[/re]: Let’s see, the gaping gunshot wound in his abdomen from one of the cops he killed, or the cop’s gun that that he stole during the murders that was found on his body?? Would that do it for ya, big guy?
[re=469416]Flanders[/re]: Conbined with him bragging to people in the days before the shooting that he was going to kill some cops and that they should watch the news.
[re=468860]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: It really seems like the Seattle area has suddenly become cop-killing central in the past month or so. What the fuck is going on?
[re=468849]shadowMark[/re]: Stop!
[re=468798]Aflac Shrugged[/re]: Best post of the thread, so I’ll repeat it for you in all bold:
“I would point out that this guy convinced not one, but two parole boards in Arkansas to release him after Huckabee’s grant of clemency nine years ago, and that a crazed, out-of-nowhere killing spree does not invalidate the inherent good of allowing an executive the power to pardon.

This would have been a good time to use that 5000# “christmas card” photo of the enlarged HuCkSters….
