I've heard that cleanliness is close to godliness, but can blogging bring you closer to the lord? Apparently if you are supporting Huckabee by blogging articles for him then you are doing HIS work. I know Huckabee has theological training, but come on, political blogging has nothing to do with God. It is a shame that he sinks this low to win votes, but then again, he is a Republican.
From ThinkProgress:
That may have been a mock phone call, but Huckabee probably thought he had the real thing before the dinner.Calling them his “secret weapon,” Huckabee urged the bloggers to “clog” up the wireless system in Des Moines so that reporters couldn’t file any more “bad” stories about him. He added that by blocking the free press from doing their jobs, bloggers were “doing the Lord’s work”:
Mr. Huckabee had a rough time yesterday at the hands of the media when he announced he was canceling a negative ad against Mitt Romney and then showed the ad to the assembled reporters, who burst out laughing. Today, he turned the tables. He noted that the mainstream media might be “filing a bad story” right now, and if the bloggers were relying on the same wireless system at the hotel, they might be “clogging up the lines” and preventing them from filing.
If that’s the case, “thank you,” he said. “You’re doing the Lord’s work.”
Huckabee has repeatedly made baseless claims that his conservative causes are sanctioned by God. At a Republican Governors Association Dinner speech in 2004, Huckabee had a mock three-minute telephone conversation with God. During that time, Huckabee said that “we kind of think you’d hang in there with us, Lord, we really do.”
By the way, why is blocking the press the lord's work? What if the press were blocked from filing bad stories about McCain or Romney. Would that be the devil's work by chance?
