		<description>Huckabee has quite the persecution complex for being in the dominant group - white, male, Christian, heterosexual... Huckabee has never faced discrimination and never will.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And what&#039;s this nonsense about gays being bashed for their &quot;behavior&quot;? Gays get bashed for being gay. They typically get bashed on the street, they don&#039;t get bashed in the middle of having gay sex.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Huckabee is a bigot. He thinks if he carries on a positive demeanor and smiles a lot, it makes it okay, but it doesn&#039;t. He is completely ignorant about human sexuality, just like nearly every other issue he has ever spoken on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Guess what Huck, despite what your stone-age beliefs tell you, some people are gay. Get over it. Evolution is real. Get over it. The earth is more than six thousand years old. Get over it. The human race did not begin in a magical garden with a talking snake and haunted apples. Get over it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Christians comprise 80% of the U.S. population, you aren&#039;t persecuted, you are the persecutors. Other people living their lives in peace and happiness doesn&#039;t infringe on you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Get over it.</description>

		<description>Really? That&#039;s what you got out of this? I thought it meant exactly what he said. What did you want him to do? Stand on his head while he said it??</description>

		<description>So you do agree that anti-gay bashing is a wrong; Mr. Huckabee apparently doesn&#039;t believe it&#039;s a wrong on par with anti-race or anti-religion violence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe it was Huckabee who employed the label &quot;Christian&quot; rather broadly in this situation.  You&#039;ll need to contact his communications people to make your point.</description>

		<description>I agree with Huckabee. Two wrongs don&#039;t make a right. And besides, there are many, many different christian groups with as many doctrines of beliefs, we are NOT all the same. Stop painting us all with the same brush.</description>
