QuoteFormer Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) weighed in on the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, saying the crime was no surprise because we have "systematically removed God" from public schools.
"We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools," Huckabee said on Fox News. "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?"
This line of reasoning isn't new for Huckabee.
Speaking about a mass shooting in Aurora, Colo. over the summer, the former GOP presidential candidate claimed that such violent episodes were a function of a nation suffering from the removal of religion from the public sphere.
"We don't have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem," Huckabee said on Fox News. "And since we've ordered God out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised ... when all hell breaks loose."
Adam Lanza, 20, is the suspect in a school shooting that left 27 dead Friday, including 20 children. Lanza is reportedly the son of a teacher at the school where the shootings occurred.
Mike Huckabee: Professional shitbag.
If you ask me, the ones who abuse this tragedy to call for more gun control are every bit the shitbag Huckabee is.

I can agree with that.
It seems like after this incident, all the shitbags of the world came out to voice their dumb opinions, whether it is the gun control loons, the "VIDYA GAMEZ CAUSE VIOLENCE" loons or the "We removed GAWD from schools" loons.

Ya, anytime someone tries the "If he didn't have guns, nobody would have died." I point them towards the Bath School disaster.

Considering more people are injured than killed just about every time, Kind of a stupid statement.
