Moonbat Alert - Elizabeth Edwards - Nut Ball Scare Monger

It’s only fitting that the holiday season be celebrated with anti-religious and anti-military scare tactics by nuts on the left. After all, that is the center of the Democratic Party. While many children sleep in innocence waiting to hear about sightings of Santa coming in from the North Pole and religious people of faith look forward to the the day that celebrates the birth of Christ it is only fitting that those observers of politically based panderers be on the watch for moonbattery over the Christmas holiday season.
Thus today we report that unhinged leftists were on hand in Iowa to lament about Republicans that also share a common bond in faith. In the case of Elizabeth Edwards we get the added extra by watching her denigrate Vietnam Vets through the use of the term “swift boating” as if it was a derogatory act to point out that John Kerry is a poseur who gained power at the expense his fellow servicemen in Vietnam.

ABC News’ Raelyn Johnson reports: Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic hopeful John Edwards, lamented with Iowa caucus goers about her fear of the Republican Party.
“Republicans should scare us in a lot of ways,” Edwards said as she was introducing her husband at a town hall in Dubuque, Iowa.
Speaking about Republican candidate Mike Huckabee, who recently surged ahead in Iowa polls, Elizabeth noted, “He seems like a nice charming guy,” before saying that Huckabee, “doesn’t believe in evolution and has some nutty views about what it is we should do about ending violence in our inner city — we should make sure all of our young people are armed. Republicans scare me.”
She went on to warn about the larger party, saying, “Karl Rove may not be working in the White House anymore but you can pretty much be sure he’s going back in the presidential race… I believe he’s going to be back and he’s going be doing that same kind of Rovian politics that we’ve seen before — the kind of attacks that we saw against Sen. McCain in South Carolina we can expect to see against our nominee, ’swift boating,’ all of that kind of stuff again.”
Of course Democrats would never want to put Huckabee’s views into context. It is much easier to use a drive by assertion that Huckabee will upend science in deference to religious doctrine. Here is the context that Elizabeth Edwards, unhinged scare monger, failed to provide:
Huckabee said if given a chance to elaborate on the question from MSNBC moderator Chris Matthews, he would have responded: “If you want to believe that you and your family came from apes, I’ll accept that….I believe there was a creative process.”
Huckabee said he has no problem with teaching evolution as a theory in the public schools and he doesn’t expect schools to teach creationism.
“We shouldn’t indoctrinate kids in school,” he said. “I wouldn’t want them teaching creationism as if it’s the only thing that they should teach.”
Also, students should be given credit for having the intelligence to think through various theories for themselves and come to their own conclusions, he said.
He said it was his responsibility to teach his children his beliefs though he could accept that others believe in evolution.
“I believe that there is a God and that he put the process in motion,” Huckabee said.
So now we’ve established that Edwards fears those people of faith who believe in the evolutionary process within the context of such faith, Huckabee is a man of faith that is running for the Republican Presidential nod and thus he should be feared, as should all Republicans.
What a load of bile.
On the issue about Huckabee’s “nutty views about what it is we should do about ending violence in our inner city — we should make sure all of our young people are armed.” again Elizabeth Edwards is proving that she is a shill for a candidacy that can’t deal honestly with issues. The references as I gather it is that Huckabee responded to the liberal gun laws at Virginia Tech after the massacre there by a deranged student.
“If somebody had been able to stop the shooter before he was able to kill that many people, there may not have been that many,” Huckabee said Thursday in an interview with University of Arkansas at Little Rock radio station KUAR. - Huckabee says concealed gun might have reduced VT toll
The latest church shootings in Colorado point to an example where such laws may actually save lives. Good guy/girl with gun, lives saved, nobody with guns to protect themselves from criminal gun toting murderer, lives lost. Huckabee is saying something that a good number of American’s believe in. Of course Elizabeth Edwards is too dense to get this but what can we expect; she is a product of the Democrat party.
On the issue of “swift boating” it is time that Republicans turned that phrase around on Democrat idiots that hurl it out every chance they get. Every veteran that has ever been on a swift boat should be offended. The only way to fight these morons that appeal to the fringe is to put them back into context.

The suggestion that people be allowed to carry concealed weapons in order that somebody could shoot a mass murderer before he guns down more people does not make sense.
If pistol-packing was allowed, the number of lives “saved” by quicker intervention in the relatively few mass shooting events each year nationwide would be far outnumbered by the number of lives taken in many other single-killing incidents, where one individual momentarily loses control of him/herself in a dispute and shoots someone else.
Iraqi society is a perfect example of what happens when the vast majority of the population carry guns with them at all times.
Hi Domino,
I respectfully disagree.
Anecdotes and stats on Iraq don’t provide an argument for or against concealed carry; statistics do.
But first we should dispense of the red herring in your statement by dispelling the myth that concealed carry is meant to prevent “the relatively few mass shooting events each year nationwide”. If that was the only measure then we could all sleep safely at night. You are comparing apples to oranges. The fact of the matter is that shootings by criminals are perpetuated on unarmed citizens in situations that span much more than and given “mass shooting”. It is those smaller and more prevalent shootings that are the real problem here, gang shootings, one on shootings, and armed robbery stlye. Why would you exclude concealed carry as a deterrent to single-killing incidents. This makes no sense at all.
Second Iraq is not a perfect example. The United States is the most armed country in the world, not Iraq. (http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL2834893820070828)
Iraq is being armed by countries like Iran for the purpose of causing violence, not for the purpose of allowing citizens to protect themselves.
How do you explain stats like that of Vermont that shows it has one of the lowest crime rates in the nation concurrent with a concealed carry law on the books?
