The evil "Christian" heart of Mike Huckabee

Perhaps it's unseemly to post this during Senator Kennedy's funeral, but I think it's important to keep in mind the kind of vile, mean-spirited people that populate the Republican political establishment...and to vow to never, ever, ever let these pieces of shit ever gain power over our lives again.

Today's "honoree": Mike Huckabee:

The 2008 Republican presidential candidate suggested during his radio show, "The Huckabee Report," on Thursday that, under President Obama's health care plan, Kennedy would have been told to "go home to take pain pills and die" during his last year of life.

"[I]t was President Obama himself who suggested that seniors who don't have as long to live might want to consider just taking a pain pill instead of getting an expensive operation to cure them," said Huckabee. "Yet when Sen. Kennedy was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at 77, did he give up on life and go home to take pain pills and die? Of course not. He freely did what most of us would do. He choose an expensive operation and painful follow up treatments. He saw his work as vitally important and so he fought for every minute he could stay on this earth doing it. He would be a very fortunate man if his heroic last few months were what future generations remember him most for."

That's the Republican meme now: Barack Obama would have killed Ted Kennedy.

There are no words for these people.

UPDATE: Let's not forget the maverickyness of John McCain, as he snubs Sen. Kennedy's widow last night:
