AUDIO- Huckabee: Kennedy would be told to "go home to take pain pills and die."

By GottaLaff

How endearing. What a fine, compassionate, religious everyman HuckaDeath is. Way to politicize a tragedy. Timing is everything, isn't it?



Via Taegan:

George Stephanopoulos reports Mike Huckabee "tossed a hand grenade in the debate over who's politicizing Ted Kennedy's death" when he told his radio audience that under President Obama's health care reform bill, Kennedy would be told to "go home to take pain pills and die."

"One thing's for sure: by joining the debate in this time in this way, Huckabee is showing how determined he is not to be outmaneuvered by Sarah Palin in the early 2012 bidding for the GOP's conservative base."

Think Progress adds this:

Huckabee’s contention is even more baffling. Following Huckabee’s argument to its logical conclusion would suggest that Kennedy fought cancer in order to strip other older Americans of the ability to vigorously fight the disease.
