It's not a tough question. It's an extremely old question. The reporter is brainless and brought nothing new to the conversation.It is exactly as I said earlier in the topic. Every single time a politician identifies themselves as pro-life, a reporter reflexively grabs a human shield and asks, "What about victims of rape and incest?"Just as I said. Huckabee didn't bring up the girl in Paraguay. The reporter grabbed a human shield, just as they always do with a pro-lifer:
BASH: Governor, I want to bring it back home and to an issue that's really been percolating in the Republican race, the issue of abortion.
Now, you oppose abortion even in cases of rape and incest. I want to ask about a story, because it's really getting a lot of attention from our readers on CNN.com. A 10-year-old girl was raped by her stepfather in Paraguay, and the government wouldn't allow her to have an abortion, because that's the policy there. The girl, who is now just 11, had the baby. If you're president, and you have your druthers, that would be the policy here. Some of your Republican opponents say it's too extreme. What do you say?
Former Gov Huckabee defended his no-exceptions position on abortion today on CNN s State of the Union CNN Press Room - CNN.com Blogs
Huckabee is completely at fault for putting his size 14 in his own mouth, It is the job of the press to ask questions, he is solely responsible for how he answers.
Every. Single. Time.
It's a sickening tactic.
You just helped confirm CNN used that very tactic. It never fails. They do it every time. "BRING OUT THE RAPE KID!!!"
I didn't do any such thing. After 30 years, you would suspect people who argue these issues might have figured out that it is the reporter's job to ask tough questions. If you can't answer without wounding yourself too bad. Get someone in their that can carry your battle flag without falling over themselves.
BRING OUT THE RAPE KID!!!
Then Huckabee should have been prepared for it. But then we all pretty much knew that he wasn't up to the big job anyway.
