FLASHBACK: Huckabee’s Phone Call From God


Thinkprogress:
Last night at the CNN/YouTube debate, a questioner asked the candidates — “who would call yourselves Christian conservatives” — to answer what would Jesus do about the death penalty. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee jokingly responded, “Jesus was too smart to ever run for public office. That’s what Jesus would do.”
It was fitting that Huckabee be asked what Jesus thinks because, in the past, the former Baptist minister has asserted an ability to talk directly to God.
At a Republican Governors Association Dinner in 2004, Huckabee took the stage and began to deliver remarks when his cell phone rang. He took the phone out of his pocket and proceeded to have a conversation with God about President Bush’s reelection:
HUCKABEE: Hello? I’m sorry. I’m right in the middle of an event. It’s who? It’s God? On the phone for me? How did he get my number? Oh, God has everybody’s number. OK? Yes, I’ll hold.

That's it another nut job. If a person tells you they spoke to God and their looking for something from you then you know it's a lie.
Rep. Henry Hyde called Bill Clinton a sinner for having an affair, while Hyde has just had a child at the age of 72 out of wedlock while still married to is wife. Oral Roberts talked to God twice. First when he stolen the money then when he was charged he said God told him to leave office. All these fact Pastors say God told what to do only to find out it was Satan and they knew it all along.
