Huckabee likens gay marriage to incest, drugs

04/13/2010 7:40 pm 3 comments

Source: MSNBC.com

Mike Huckabee, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012, says the effort to allow gays and lesbians to marry is comparable to legalizing incest, polygamy and drug use.

Huckabee also told college journalists last week that gay couples should not be permitted to adopt. “Children are not puppies,” he said.

Huckabee visited The College of New Jersey in Ewing, N.J., last Wednesday to speak to the Student Government Association. He also was interviewed by a campus news magazine, The Perspective, which published an article on Friday.

Huckabee told the interviewer that not every group’s interests deserve to be accommodated, if their lifestyle is outside of what he called “the ideal.”

Mike Huckabee is a backward minded Neanderthal who may be intelligent, but his kind are making noise and scaring a lot of people. His values are base on not only outdated ideologies, but flawed beliefs that he is a member of a superior breed of people. Its up to all of us to Vote against these types of narrow minded people. We must build a stronger America devoted to building a nation that is compassionate to everyone, not just those one group finds acceptable. Huckabee needs to keep up his small minded ignorant comments so that we can identify all of those like him.

Where's the quote comparing them? I want the full quote.

Its okay Iothius. Just admit you are a bigot and are against certain relationships among consenting adults just because you personally find them icky (incest and polygamy). You are no better than Huckabee!
