Mike Huckabee: Jesus Loved the Death Penalty So...Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee may have refused to answer a question about Jesus' position on the Death Penalty in a November 2007 debate, but he had no compunction about answering such a question back in 1997. Back then, on a radio program, Mike Huckabee argued that because Jesus didn't ask for clemency when he was on the cross, Jesus was implicitly taking a pro-death-penalty stance. This is doubly twisted. A presidential candidate shouldn't have to answer religious questions as a test for public office in the first place, but Mike Huckabee has invited this by trumpeting his religious fitness for office over and over and over. Within that religious testimony, Mike Huckabee shows his moral center: he describes his presidency in terms of holy vengeance. (Source: Arkansas Times, November 29 2007) |
