Mike Huckabee is desperately trying to cover his ass about Nugent...(updated)

And failing completely.

Mike Huckabee Falsely Claims Ted Nugent Changed The Lyrics To Explicit Song They Performed Together

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 1/21/2015 12:30 pm

After Mike Huckabee criticized Beyoncé’s music as “obnoxious and toxic mental poison” unfit for children and compared the singer to a prostitute, it didn’t take long for people to point out that he himself had once joined with Ted Nugent to perform a sexually explicit song on his national television program. Huckabee is, predictably, reacting by pretending that what happened didn’t actually happen, telling the Christian Post today that Nugent “changed the lyrics pretty dramatically” when he sang the song “Cat Scratch Fever” on Huckabee’s Fox News show. In fact, anyone who watches a video of the performance can see that Nugent didn’t change any of the song’s explicit lyrics as Huckabee accompanied him, 5:25 in:

(Update)

Now Huckabee is the latest "martyr" on the right-wing.

Mike Huckabee: Beyoncé Backlash Proves I'm Right! Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 1/21/2015 1:40 pm

Mike Huckabee, after publishing a book in which he compares Beyoncé to a prostitute, is now trying to take advantage of the backlash to his comments by portraying himself as the latest right-wing martyr to politically correct persecution.

I am a guy and I was in a band and I never cared for that song and the other guitarist and I re-wrote the lyrics and that was what it was called - I always refered to that song that way and when I typed it that's how it came out.
we made it a song about getting crabs

Beyonce's black, she sings "black" music, and she's popular with white youth. That's reason enough for Huckabee's southern-traditionalist goons to hate her.

Sure, Ted Nugent sings about his getting his cock wet. But shit, he does it draped in an American flag. So he's cool.

I see a lot of toast being burned in the next few weeks as the Fox mask slips.

The con men of Fox have victimization near perfected...what happens when folks start mocking even that last refuge of scoundrels and confidence men?

They know they gettin' it from me
They know just where to go when they need their lovin' man
They know I'm doin' it for free

There's no way he can get around the hypocrisy of criticizing the Obama family's musical tastes, with a video out there of him playing bass for a trashy, draft-dodging, deer-gutting, young girl-hunting, NRA-promoting, half-assed guitarist piece of filth like Nugent. Time for Huck to walk away from that, tearfully telling the faithful that Jesus showed him how to walk in a more enlightened direction. Works every time.....

"The only way to peace and love is to kill them all"
That's a total rejection of the teachings of Jesus and the foundations of Christianity, and these people sit there and take it all in.
Mindbogglingly Orwellian world they live in.
