At issue is an interview the governor gave on a national media form, where he was joking that he lost weight at a concentration camp.
Governor Huckabee bantered on a national radio talk show about his weight loss; Huckabee, a Republican, has advertised his diet as a health model for obese Americans. “I have just come from six weeks at a concentration camp held by the Democrat party of Arkansas in an undisclosed location, making a hostage tape,” Hucakbee said. “That’s why I look that way.”.
Jewish Democrats slammed the Arkansas’ governor for this joking commentsn and said that at the very least, he owes all of us an apology and explanation for his tasteless words.
To anonymous 4:18 Remember Hillary kissing Mrs. Arafat after Mrs. Arafat had just stated that Israeis poison Palastinian children?Or the fact that all Democrats are against school-vouchers?Or Bill Clintons behavior in the White House?By the way Nixon over-ruled Kissinger in 1973 authorizing the largest post WW2 airlift at a time when Israel ran out of bullets.(Lev melachim byad Hashem)
Are any of you old enough to remember Nixons rabidly anti-semetic statements on his tapes? Remember Reagan going to the Bittenberg cemetery to lays a wreath at the SS gaves? The Republicans have more than their share of anti-semites. This country hick was just unaware of the impact of his remarks, but Nixon’s true feelings were on his tapes,and the “great communicator” Reagan should have known what the SS was.
The way things are going in New York every one should vote democrate this november. We need the funds in New York and the conservatives are cutting back too much.
To anonymous….He may be insensitive but personally people who vote Democrat are more dangerous to Klal Yisroel…

No surprising considering he’s a Republican.
I agree Gov. Hickabee, a hillbilly hick simply has no idea how offensive his comments were. Should go back to watching Hee Haw.
