Slog - Comments on What the Fuckabee? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/what_the_fuckabee In his book Kids Who Kill, written after a school shooting in Arkansas in 1998, then-Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee set about apportioning the blame. Mike didn't pin the blame on America's obscenely lax gun laws or "rural values"--school shootings almost always go down in rural areas and red states--but on, well, every single one of the radical right's usual suspects. Abortion, environmentalism, AIDS, pornography, drug abuse, and homosexual activism have fragmented and polarized our communities. Yeah, Mike, if it weren't for all the homosexual activists, GreenPeace volunteers, and porn stars lurking in Jonesboro, Arkansas, maybe those two boys--aged 11 and...

It's hard to tell without the context; does Huckabee footnote much?

I'm just thinking it sounds like his problem is with free speech: if one lone nut is publicly advocating necrophilia, Mike says we should silence them to save us from our armed kids.

(It's kind of gross to take what this guy says seriously enough to talk about what he is saying, but whatever. I ate a bug once.)

For someone who is already committed to breaking SCADS of laws, passing more laws is not likely to be a major deterrent. And, oh yeah, that said - fuck Huckabee, for many other reasons than his position on guns.

Neither should be criminalized, but rather they should be addressed as medical problems. Gun owners need access to treatment and a social environment that encourages them to seek help.

Reagan did found the modern conservative era by denying mental health care, after all.

I believe the kid had to kill some girls because one of them wouldn't go out with him.

So often, more than not, these shootings involve a straight guy who's got fucked up attitudes about women.

Oh, and the Omaha mall shooter had just broken up with his girlfriend, right? Well, speaking as a woman, but if you are the kind of guy who will go on a homicidal rampage if you get upset about something makes you someone I wouldn't want to be with, dig?

Gotta say I think your reasoning's a little specious on that one. Pedophiles can't marry little kids, and necrophiliacs can't marry dead people - just members of the opposite sex over the (admittedly sometimes shockingly young) age of consent. Homosexuals can marry members of the opposite sex over the age of consent if they feel like it, too.

That doesn't make Huckabee any less crazy though.
