LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Republican Mike Huckabee responded to an offstage noise during his speech to the National Rifle Association by suggesting it was Barack Obama diving to the floor because someone had aimed a gun at him.

Hearing a loud noise and interrupting his speech, Huckabee said: "That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he—he dove for the floor."

There were only a few murmurs in the crowd after the remark.

The Obama campaign had no comment.

Huckabee, who sought the GOP presidential nomination, won the leadoff Iowa caucuses and seven other states. But he dropped out after Sen. John McCain, the likely nominee, piled up a series of big victories. An ordained Baptist minister, Huckabee attracted strong support among religious conservatives.

He and former GOP candidate Mitt Romney addressed the NRA convention Friday as did McCain.

What is the difference between Huckabee's "joke" and what people claim are only certain "wishes" and "fantasies" expressed on this forum?

The answer would be intent, counselor.

You mean Huckabee didn't mean it seriously?

I'm wondering what you mean by difference of intent.

Personally, I don't think Huckabee meant it seriously.

Ergo, if the intents were, as you suggest, different,...

I think the conclusion is obvious, but I think it's more polite to leave it unexpressed.

Pardon my urgency, but we're at a point in history where politeness needs to take a back seat to saving our nation. Remember this my well mannered friend; the course of history was never changed by men with corks in their mouths so speak your piece, bold and bravely. If the world is better off w/o Bush say so. It's quite legal and timidity is for cowards.

As a lawyer, I believe in the rule of law.

As a cop, you should too.

What is a cop who doesn't believe in the rule of law, other than a jack-booted thug?

A coward would not have objected to your insinuations. I have.

Sane?

I refused to lock up hookers, pot smokers, traffic offenders, Johns, and folks who violated the draconian Sullivan law, when their self protection was paramount. Other likewise decent folk got a pass with regularity.

Eff bad law......

IndieTX, once upon a time, police officers used discretion. In fact it was encouraged. Now they (save a few) aren't worth the powder to blow them to hell.

Yup. In fact you were called a CS if you arrested everyone you came in contact with. And yup to the second part as well.
