MTP: Rev. Huck Defends Wealthy Televangelist Fundraiser.


Thinkprogress:


Tim Russert pressed Huckabee about his association with Kenneth Copeland, a wealthy, predatory televangelist who is currently refusing to cooperate with an investigation by the U.S. Senate Finance Committee for serious violations, including using his ministry to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Huckabee’s campaign. Russert asks Huckabee if he’s impeding a federal investigation by saying he sides with Copeland against Congress, to which the Huckster scoffs.
Huckabee claims to be a man of god - a man of the people, but when it comes right down to it, if it means money in his pocket, he sides with a wealthy charlatan who preys on the elderly, the sick and the poor to amass immense wealth and influence. That’s not a very Christian thing to do, now is it, Mr. Huckabee? To further deflect from his disgraceful defense of Copeland, Mike takes a cheap shot at MoveOn and says they need to be investigated as well as all non-profit organizations.

Rev. Huck needs the money he would even except money from Al Qaeda if it helped beat McCain. Now the good Rev. Huck wants to change the Constitution to read like the bible. Notice how Republicans follow the bible teachings. Let's see we have a President who is an alcoholic and drug user, VP who works for Satan, GOP who are child molesters, perverts, crooks, liars and hire prostitutes. Now this is the bible the Rev. will use while destroying the United States Constitution. Look for all the nuts and KKK to come out and take control. We will lose this once Great Country that the Founding Fathers gave their blood and lives for.
