Huffington Post Whacks Huckabee Upside The Head Again

The Huffington Post ran the story last week about Huckabee helping to get serial rapist Wayne Dumond out of prison. Huckabee took a page out of Giuliani's book and attacked the messenger instead of confronting the facts. With a woman like Arianna running the site, you know H Po wasn't going to take his criticism lying down. Early this morning the blog did not disappoint, shedding light on even more documents that show all Mike cared about was letting this dangerous criminal out of jail to appease Huckabee's Clinton-hating fans.

From The Huffington Post:

Since the Huckabee campaign has questioned the validity of the original report, the Huffington Post has decided to release additional documents from Huckabee's file on Dumond.

[Read the new documents in full here.]

The file, which was provided by a staffer to then-governor Huckabee who was concerned about his handling of the case, includes 12 separate letters written by eight different women. (This includes the three documents posted for the original story). Three of the women reported being raped or sexually assaulted by Dumond. One, whose writings have not been made public up to this point, wrote about her harrowing assault at Dumond's hands[...]

The document provides a clear indication that Huckabee had evidence from state officials concerning Dumond's long history of violent behavior. While on the presidential campaign trail, Huckabee has stated that no one could have anticipated that Dumond would strike again after being set free.


I wonder what the Huckabee campaign will say to these new revelations. We should probably give him some time to respond, since he is now dealing with statements made from Ryan White's mother about his comments about AIDS patients.

Poor guy, meh.
