Crooks and Liars:
Lambert over at Corrente noticed this little tidbit that Mike Huckabee definitely doesn’t want to have brought up:
Here’s the barebones story of how 18-year-old Mike Huckabee’s son, David, and 17-year-old Clayton Frady killed a dog when they were Boy Scouts, and got fired for it. From the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in 1998 (as quoted in DogBlog):
[David Huckabee,] the younger son of Gov. Mike Huckabee and another teen were fired last month from jobs at a Boy Scout camp after the killing of a stray dog.[..]
So, how and why did David Huckabee (and Clayton Frady) kill the dog?
The original story isn’t clear in the lead (the admissions and the details come as you read down). Still from the Democrat Gazette:
The dog was killed [passive voice] July 11 at Camp Pioneer near Hatfield.[..]
I believe the following is the faxed description of the “particular process.” It’s on a reputable site, Utopia Animal Rescue, which is run by, of all people, Kinky Freidman:
(Miller County, Arkansas) Two boy scout counselors, 17 year old Clayton Frady and 18 year old David litickabee [sic], the son of Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, have admitted to catching a stray dog during their summer session at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, AR, and hanging the dog by his neck, slitting his throat and stoning him to death.
Lambert notices that Michael Isikoff’s coverage of the story for Newsweek is particularly lacking in investigative curiosity on how David Huckabee killed the dog, which as you can see above, really does color the event.
Wow, and he is running for President? It is interesting that Huckabuck's son is giving a slap in the wrist for his criminal act yet football player Michael Vick is now in prison for dogfighting and killing dogs. And it interesting the month of Vick's indictment:
In July 2007, Vick and three other men were charged by federal authorities with felony charges of operating an unlawful six-year long interstate dog fighting venture known as "Bad Newz Kennels" at Vick's 15-acre property in Surry County, Virginia. Vick was accused of financing the operation, directly participating in dog fights and executions, and personally handling thousands of dollars in related gambling activities.

Thanks for the detailed information SPB. Now we know why Huckabuck had to squash his son's case. With the public out cry about Vick, Huckaback's son was sure to be sent to jail. Now we see American Justice at work. What's sad is African Americans look to someone like Senator Obama to support and protect but all he does is turn his cheek and look the other way. Don't look for Oprah to step in unless she can make some money. It's is funny how Oprah always stayed out of Politics and now she wants to tell people who to vote for. Not a word about the Jenna 6 or other crimes done against Black/Hispanics. Huckabacks son will continue to kill and as others before him, he will move on to killing humans next. Pastor Huck is really working for the Devil while using God's name. Karl Rove had a formula and Huck is using it.
I saw the Newsweek article online and a bunch of people all wrote that the story was sanitized, and that Huckabuck's son and the other kid tortured it.
