Huckabee Lies and Claims Obama Grew Up in Kenya

Admittedly, I hold great contempt for Christo-fascist Mike Huckabee. In fact, based on his stated desire to subvert the U.S. Constitution to his interpretation of the Bible, I view him as a clear and present danger to constitutional government as laid out by the Founding Fathers. Now, in true Christianist fashion where the Commandment against lying and bearing false witness is viewed as not applicable to themselves, Huckabee has been caught perpetuating the Kool-Aid drinking Tea Party lie that Barack Obama is not really American and that he grew up in Kenya. It's a total lie, but its all too typical of the bigoted, lying and hypocritical ranks of the holier than thou Christian Right. Like so many other Christianists, Huckabee makes the case Anne Rice's position of not wanting to be associated with the term "Christina." Here are highlights from Google News on Huckabee's latest lying:
*
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee suggested in a radio interview that President Barack Obama's childhood in Kenya shaped his worldview — even though Obama did not visit Kenya until he was in his 20s.
*
The potential Republican presidential candidate told New York radio station WOR on Monday that Obama's youth led him to resent the West, which he said explains why, in Huckabee's view, Obama's foreign policy differs so greatly from that of his predecessors.
*
Huckabee said childhood stories of the Mau Mau rebellion would lead President Obama to want to remove from the Oval Office the bust of Churchill, who ordered a crackdown against that uprising. The executive director of Huckabee's political action committee said the former governor misspoke.
*
Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961 to a mother from Kansas, and a father from Kenya whom he would barely know and write in his memoir he had met only once. He spent the first five years of his life in Hawaii and then moved with his since-divorced mother and her new husband to Indonesia. At the age of 10, he returned to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents on Oahu until he started his undergraduate degree in Los Angeles and completed it in New York City.
*
And on Monday, just a few moments after he asserted Obama's Kenyan upbringing, Huckabee returned to what had been his standard rhetoric on the question of his birth certificate.
*
"The only reason I'm not as confident that there's something about the birth certificate ... is because I know the Clintons and believe me, they have lots of investigators out on him, and I'm convinced if there was anything that they could have found on that, they would have found it, and I promise they would have used it," Huckabee said.

Pardon my "French," but in my opinion Huckabee is a lying sack of shit.
