WHOA: Suspected Police Assassin Was Pardoned by Gov. Huckabee in 2000
Maurice Clemmons, the 37-year-old Tacoma man being sought for questioning in the killing of four Lakewood police officers this morning, has a long criminal record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his mental health. Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protestations of prosecutors. "This is the day I've been dreading for a long time," Larry Jegley, prosecuting attorney for Arkansas' Pulaski County said Sunday night when informed that Clemmons was being sought in connection to the killings.Back when Huckabee was governor, the people of Arkansas were so worried about his commutations of violent criminals, they looked at amending the state constitution to limit the governor's pardon power. This is what Huckabee had to say about executive clemency:
“I would not deny that my sense of the reality of redemption is a factor,” the former Baptist pastor said in a radio interview with KUAR in Little Rock. “And I don’t know that I can apologize for that because I would hate to think of the kind of human I would be if I thought people were beyond forgiveness and beyond reformation and beyond some sense of improvement.”Our previous coverage of Huckabee's misguided and, well, dangerous use of the pardon power is here and here. Via @redhk. More:I'm sure a thousand people are digging up old news reports on Huckabee and Clemmons. And there will be a hundred stories in all the media tomorrow on Huckabee's future in politics. Here's the summary in advance: (1) Huckabee pardoned Clemmons because they had a mutual acquaintance, he labored at the governor's mansion under a prisoner work program, or a minister intervened on his behalf. No, I don't actually know why he did it and Huckabee was notorious for refusing to give reasons for his pardons. These characteristics are what many of Huckabee's pardons had in common. (2) The possibility that Huckabee will run for president in 2012 has moved from "less than likely" (see sidebar) to "not a chance in hell." Which, is the way I like it. He always was just a populist with a Bible. His shameful Mormon-baiting in Iowa ultimately gave us McCain last year. We no longer have to worry what Certain Fuckin' Doomabee will bring us next time. Last Thing (for now): Huckabee's statement that it is "less than likely that I will run in 2012" preceded the assassination. Unless he has magic preacher clairvoyance, the two are unrelated. Late Update: Huckabee makes a statement, passes the buck.

Deputies also interviewed other family members. They reported that Clemmons had been saying he could fly and that he expected President Obama to visit to "confirm that he is Messiah in the flesh."

Mætenloch: On the other hand Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons after serving 11 years of a 60 year sentence for burglary and theft of property. Unless there were extenuating circumstances that seems an awfully harsh sentence.
It seems like EXACTLY THE RIGHT sentence.
Dude would have been in jail until he was 77 years old - WHICH IS EXACTLY WHERE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN - in the meantime, those four police officers [three policemen and one policewoman] would still be alive and that child wouldn't have been raped.

2008 Iowa Caucus winner and current GOP poll leader Mike Huckabee says it is "less than likely" he will run for President in 2012. Huckabee was a guest on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace when he made the remarks.
Huckabee is wildly popular with social conservatives in Iowa. He is viewed favorably by 70 percent of Iowa Republicans, according to a Des Moines Register poll released last weekend. Only Sarah Palin comes close to Huckabee's popularity in the Hawkeye State. The former Arkansas governor is also the leader in a nationwide Gallup poll.
Huckabee cited his self-titled Fox News Channel program as his main cause for not running. "The reason I wouldn't is because this Fox gig that I've got right now is really, really wonderful," Huckabee said. "A lot of it depends on how the elections turn out next year and whether Roger Ailes continues to like my show on the weekends and if all those things factor in, it's less likely than more likely."
Squirrels coming home to roost.

On the one hand, they don't want to publicize the story of a Black man murdering four cops.
On the other hand, they'd love to highlight how Huckabee pardoned and set loose on the world a man who became a career criminal and a multiple cop-killer.
But on the other hand, destroying Huckabee's political reputation can only be good for Sarah Palin, so it's got to be bad in their eyes.
They must be running around in circles, trying to decide how to balance all those factors.

I'm sure he'll keep his FOX gig, but he knows that if he ever ran again, his fellow republicans would bring him down during the primaries. Huckabee is just as dangerous as any other religious nutcase and is more dangerous in certain regards in that he puts a friendly, smiling face on religious douchebaggery.

Huckabee knows a different Lord than me.
My Lord is all loving and all forgiving -- but only if you truly spend your life in repentance after a major malfunction. And even then only after you've finally reach the other side.

You are confusing the cosmic timeline. No one is pleased that the four police officers died, no matter what other knock-on effects their deaths precipitated. The four police officers were not killed to discredit Mike Huckabee, nor would anyone have made such a vile bargain. But they're gone, and not gloating over the collateral damage to Huckabee's political career won't bring them back.

I always got the feeling / impression / vibe that Huckabee’s primary appeal was religion; that he is and always was a deeply religious man, and that this appealed to very many people, many in the South. Unfortunately, that’s most of what Huckabee had going for him.
But it’s now clear that Huckabee is a beginner, a novice, someone with poor judgement, someone easily fooled, someone with no fortitude to see someone punished, the Republican Jimmy Carter.
This little episode needs to be thrown in Huck’s face repeatedly, starting in July 2011 or January 2012 at the latest, as an example of poor judgement and overall inability.

Yep, and true religious faith was no doubt what inspired him to disregard the laws of man and substitute his personal judgment in granting this individual clemency. In my opinion, that was entirely the wrong basis for making such a decision, and of course he came to entirely the wrong decision.

I liked Fred early on. Later, when my choices were narrowed to Romney, McCain, and Huckabee by Fred's complete lack of enthusiasm, I backed Romney. All three were lousy, but I wouldn't dream of voting for McCain or Huckabee. Romney appealed to me because he was a successful businessman. I could excuse his faults on the grounds that he was serving as governor of a very left-wing state. I couldn't excuse the faults of McAmnesty or Fuckabee so easily. When McCain got the nomination, I ended up throwing my vote to a third party in the last election.

I believe Huckabee, despite his very sincere faith, was influenced by liberal, secular ideas of mercy. Romans 13:4 has a very different take on mercy to the condemned: For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

As minister, he should reach out to those in prison and offer then the hope of redemption found in the Bible.
As governor, he needed to recognize that they were dangerous men that needed to behind bars.
As minister, he should be willing to offer second chances to people who previously thought they didn't need God's Word.
As governor, second chances often leads to recidivism.
Huck blurred his job responsibilities and now four police officers are dead.

@245: Palin, like W. in 2000, needs gravitas. She really is a political and executive freshman, albeit with a respectable record of accomplishment that she's not given credit for on the left. So she'll need a Cheney if she's going to angle for the top spot, and I'm not sure who we've got on our side except the Cheney. Too many of the others would be more like her Joe Biden, venerable but clownish.
Except for the fact he's ruled it out, I'd prefer Cheney for the top spot to most of the likely GOP field. Three more years of the One and an experienced executive is going to start looking mighty attractive, especially if he can throw some red meat to fiscal conservatives and moderates who want to salve their pride for being sold on Obama as a centrist.

The thing with Palin is that the more the MSM tries to destroy her the stronger she gets. ... so I like to see even the negative press on her. She always seems to weather the storm and is stronger for it. Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and she'll be plenty strong in 2012

He's a Christian who understands redemption but doesn't understand sin or our fallen state. He wants to give even the worst people the benefit of the doubt, give them a chance, and think the best of them. Because that's what Jesus would do.
But he's not Jesus. And neither is Jimmy Carter.
And even if, as individuals, we're commanded to forgive... we're not talking about individuals holding anger and resentment and having that eat away inside them... and the command to forgive is for *our* benefit, we're talking about government.
And government... or at least the courts... are supposed to take up justice so that the people don't have to take up vengeance.

Posted by: Mark at November 29, 2009 11:29 PM (Vvbjc)
ParisParamus, "the healthcare thing" is a pretty damn big thing to put aside. That's a nice trick though, asking us to put aside the biggest, most relevant issue.
Especially if health care passes in any form, we're going to need a candidate who can make the case for repealing it to the American public. And Romney's already put his balls in a vise on that issue. If it goes down in flames he might be a possibility. I do like his credibility on fiscal issues, which we may need. I'm a little baffled that anyone considers him very conservative to begin with though.

Mitt has limited his abbilities there by his Massachusetts health care reform

As I've said many times here (and I have no vested interest in supporting Romney: I don't know him; I'm not a member of his Church; and I admit he's flawed, just less flawed than that likely alternatives; he just strikes me as the best shot we have to slay the Obama Dragon),
Palin cannot win in 2012; her best, and I suspect, only shot at the Presidency is to be picked as a VP, and audition and reassure a large segment of the electorate in that capacity.
Romney-Palin could win; would freak out the right people; and would put Palin in position to run for President.

I voted for McCain in 2008, and Ifd vote for Palin in 2012. If she is the candidate in 2012, Ifll vote for her.
That being said, I have my doubts about her being able to win. I say this because in the runup to 2008, a number of non-political women that I talked to showed weirdly negative reactions to Palin. They couldnft elaborate, it was just, just, just, c Letfs see, shefs achieved all of the Frminazi dream and very much more, is still young, and did all this as a Conservative, i.e., no Socialist / Leftist values. I donft understand the reactions I saw, but they were not fake.
I think that Sarah Palin is at her maximum popularity being just who she is, which I believe is exactly the image she presents. The problem is to make that image more acceptable to non-political people. I donft have good suggestions on how to do this.
Maybe books and hook tours, coupled with some political activism will be enough. Keep watching the polls.
@
I still like Fred Thompson, but his career over the past 20 or so years doesnft give him lots of political credibility. He has the appearance and persona, but acting isnft a good stepping-stone to the presidency (although itfs better than community organizer). Perhaps if he had planned things in 98 and got re-elected to the Senate and was ending his term now c
As posted previously, maybe Tancredo.

Palin's a fighter to Romney's penchant for compromise. She is fighting now. Where is Romney attacking health care? Obama's dithering on Afghanistan? Or Iran? Where was Romney during the NY-23 race? Where is Romney at all on any issue? If the Democrats find a way to cram through Obamacare are we to just accept it and move on, for the three or four years before the federal government collapses? No, we're going to have to push hard to have it repealed. I can see Palin doing that. I can't see Romney undoing big government health care when he can't even acknowledge it was a mistake for the state he was responsible for.
Look, I'm sorry that we have to disagree. We're going to have to sort it out before the end of the primary two and a half years from now. I just don't understand the appeal he has for you.

We heard it then...
No one will vote for Giuliani because of abortion and gun control, even if he pledges not to touch either of them, even if he's sharp on conservative economics, crime and the War on Terror.
No one will vote for Romney because of his religion.
No one will vote for Fred because he's not hyper enough.
And we hear it now...
No one will vote for Palin because the media and the Democrats were mean to her.
Get over it! Any one of them would have been better than McCain and any one of them would most likely have had a better chance to defeat Obama after the economic crash before the election. Anyone tempted to second guess who *other* people will find electable should go to the back of the room right now!

By the way, Pawlenty pulled off a procedural feat by defeating uber liberal MN's legislatures budget; Romney did even better in MA. Maybe no conservative should bend a bit and attempt to seek office in a liberal state, but if that's not true, both of these individuals deserve our respect.

290 - Don't believe everything CBS and CNN spoon feeds you. I voted for Romney in the Michigan primary (even though I knew he was a fake) for one simple reason: he wasn't John McCain.
By the way, in the Michigan primary Mitt was for government bailouts for the Detroit Three. Now he isn't. Bakilouts, abortion, gay marriage and a multitude of other issues: Romney will say whatever he thinks will get him elected.
Mitt spent millions of his own money, only to lose to someone as weak as John McCain.

It's that he has succeeded hugely in business, and well as the government/public sector (Governor; the Olympics) he is an outsider due to his religion; he has worked his ass off, despite being born into an affluent family; and it's obvious he loves his wife, and family. I'm also impressed he spent time in Europe, in France for his church. He just seems like an undeniably decent, smart guy; a mensch.

I don't get this at all. Who she is doesn't make the slightest bit of difference if she's not actually planning on running in the next election. If that's the case she's just another celebrity. We have Rush and Hannity and Malkin to make noise and never run for anything.
Further, where is this "maximum popularity" thing come from? Are you completely unaware that her polls are improving? Hot Air had a poll just the other day that showed both her and Romney very competitive (with him winning, I think) with Obumbles.
Look I think either of them could win in two and a half years. I think any Republican has to be favored, based on the performance of Obama and his party to date and his instinct to push harder left as he meets resistance. I would take either Cheney over them given the option. She's generally shown the right instincts. I don't know with any certainty where Romney's coming from. I just think we are rapidly running out of time and we can't afford to get this wrong.

I think a lot of the appeal is his business acumen, which I don't understand. He's a businessman. So fucking what? So is George Soros. And Jeffrey Immelt. And the CEO of Duke Energy. And Warren Buffet. They're all a bunch of ObaMao-loving commie scum holding their filthy fucking hands out for porkulus and/ or TARP and/ or crap-and-tax monies. I'm not putting Romney in the same class of as those guys, but the fact he's a businessman doesn't mean shit. There's a huge difference between being pro-business and pro-free-market.
Also, if Romney doesn't want to be blamed for the totally-failed government healthcare debacle in Mass, he needs to stop taking credit for it and praising it. You can't take credit for something and call it a good system and then turn around and blame it's failure on others. He went so far as to commission a painting of himself with the bill on his desk, calling it "his greatest accomplishment as Governor" or something to that effect. If he ever wants to be taken seriously as a conservative, the first thing he needs to do is disavow and condemn that miserable pile of shit healthcare bill. Loudly, strongly, and in in no uncertain terms. And get the bill airbrushed out of the painting.

Statement Regarding Washington State Slayings by Press Team
The senseless and savage execution of police officers in Washington State has saddened the nation, and early reports indicate that a person of interest is a repeat offender who once lived in Arkansas and was wanted on outstanding warrants here and in Washington State. The murder of any individual is a profound tragedy, but the murder of a police officer is the worst of all murders in that it is an assault on every citizen and the laws we live within.
Should he be found to be responsible for this horrible tragedy, it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State.This commutation made him parole eligible and he was then paroled by the parole board once they determined he met the conditions at that time. He was arrested later for parole violation and taken back to prison to serve his full term, but prosecutors dropped the charges that would have held him. It appears that he has continued to have a string of criminal and psychotic behavior but was not kept incarcerated by either state. This is a horrible and tragic event and if found and convicted the offender should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Our thoughts and prayers are and should be with the families of those honorable, brave, and heroic police officers.

"I don't get this at all."
As I said, a number (5) of non-political women that I know (30's) all gave me this weird reaction about Palin. 5 is essentially a useless number, but it seems to point to a general feeling (in November 200 that still lingers. Palin's numbers are changing, and that's good, but she's having to do it all herself; or more specifically, I can’t think of any women (politicians, business women, celebrities) really going to bat for her.
"Who she is doesn't make the slightest bit of difference if she's not actually planning on running in the next election. If that's the case she's just another celebrity."
That's; true, assuming she doesn't run. But if she does run, then (I think) she needs to run to win. A complete personality / political makeover really isn't possible between now and January 2012, and if her advisors recommend one, I think it would be disastrous. In fact, anything more than small changes, essentially on minor subjects would be problematical.
You're right, Palin’s numbers are improving, but why: Obama’s failures / inability or her increasing popularity? With enough ACORN / SEIU / MSM covering and Pelosi / Reid-martyrdom, I'd rather not rely on Obama’s failures.
This is what I mean by maximum popularity; her values and beliefs, as they are now, are very popular with a significant segment of voters. To some degree, people just need to get a look at Sara Palin over and decide: "Yes, her values are my values".
My fear is that, in 30 months, Obama will ask for "4 more years" and claim that he can succeed by the end, and that either 50+% will believe him again, or that 32% will believe, 10% will be intimidated / corrected by ACORN/ SEIU and 7% will just not like Palin enough …

If government won't defend its citizens from those that would harm them, what is it worth? If it won't defend babies from abortionists. they will not be defended. The shame here is that too many people figure that they've been born, so this savagery is not a threat to them. But if you ask them about any other serial killer, oh sure, then they want government to intercede and decide which killings are permissable and which are not.

And there seems to be no way to hold Huckabee legally responsible and accountable for the results of his actions.

Posted by: Arbalest at November 30, 2009 12:44 AM (Ym9lj)
My sympathies to the families of the officers who died in this horrible crime.
I don't think the Huckabee ever had any intention of running again. He knew that he was just too much of a rino to ever be accepted without running the risk of splitting the gop and having a third, conservative candidate in the race. Romney is a different story I think. There is more of a chance of him running again for the nomination. A small risk but nonetheless a risk.

AllahPundit cannot be happy. One by one his Palin-slayers are committing suicide:
- Newt: NY23
- Romney: RomneyCare
- Huck: Willie Horton II

God works in mysterious ways.
Hopefully this is the final nail in Huckleberry’s coffin.
I just can’t stand that moron.
Regarding the police officers. The Huckster definitely has a role in their deaths and he should be held accountable in the public court.

Man, I didn't think I could lose more respect for the guy, but just goes to show you. The parole board didn't decide, Huck did, now mind you the Gregoire (sic) administration did no favors either, why exactly would you release a child rapist.
Now it's three years out, and I'm not really that concerned about the Presidential race. But as she long as she helped steer the debate on 'death panels' and cap n trade, ( they wanted to have that served us by October)speak up in defense of our military, well you have to give her props for that, then again I admit to being biased
Also being of Latin background, I have a healthy respect for injunctions against ill will, not an exorcism, as was wrongly suggested last year, with what Rev. Muthee did

Rev. Huckabee's lame excuse ignores the fact that he went against families and proscecutors in Arkansas to pardon this violent burden on society. He also ignored the law that said he must state his reasons.
I hope that all of the families can and will sue him personally.

Not true
Hucka-fuck's exploits in Arkansas were widely disseminated, including his unparalleled use of pardon power.
If it turns out that this "suspect" is the killer then it will not be the first of the Huck's pardoned people to go back to committing capital crimes.
I have always considered him to be a religious liberal. This is just one more piece on top of the shit pie we call Huckabee,
Oh so how did he stay in the race so long? Again, it was the damn Republican primary rules and one issue "conservatives" who listened to their preachers and chose to ignore or disbelieve all the reports coming from people in Arkansas.

Posted by: Ol Grandpa who remembers old stuff at November 30, 2009 06:42 AM (+CLh/)
Exactly. That was the point of Huckabee's statement. While he didn't take responsibility, he did point out that he isn't the only one who could have done things differently. Larry Jegley (prosecuting attorney) tends to grandstand a little when he can take a shot at a political opponent. He isn't very quick to point out that they had they guy and let him go.
Posted by: Steve L. at November 30, 2009 07:22 AM (Gkhxf)
Be that as it may, but from what I can find he had been sentenced to 95 years in Arkansas and the Huck commuted his sentence. If he had not done that those 4 cops would still be alive today.
That is the bottom line, he had already been found guilty of major crimes, he had been sentenced and was in jail. All the tough barriers to getting a sick POS off the street had already been met.
Based on his "religious principles" he let this shit-stick back out on the streets. And this is not the only one. From what I read back during the election he let out hundreds of hard core criminals during his term as Governor. So much so that the legislature considered revoking his pardon power.
Posted by: Vic at November 30, 2009 07:45 AM (CDUiN)
I am not a Huckabee supporter. That move by the 90% Democrat legislature was designed to pander to the electorate and take a shot at Huckabee. The closest they came was to make it mandatory to announce the reason for a pardon.
Huckabee used the power of the pardon way, way, way too many times. It's funny though. No one really seemed to care until one of the parolees re-offended. Then, everybody was up-in-arms.

On the other hand Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons after serving 11 years of a 60 year sentence for burglary and theft of property. Unless there were extenuating circumstances that seems an awfully harsh sentence.
Extenuating circumstance: Everybody involved except Huckleberry knew he was a murderous sociopathic swine?

I don't know who to recommend running for the GOP ticket in '12, but might I suggest Sheriff Joe and Palin at least get some type of posting within the cabinet? Anybody who would listen to folks like Sheriff Joe and Palin would have my vote.
Maybe Lt. Col. Allen West too -- he seems fairly pragmatic and sensible.
Posted by: unknown jane at November 30, 2009 08:49 AM (5/yRG)
There is only one issue that he supports "conservatives" on and that is abortion. And on that issue I am not so sure that that is a conservative issue as much as it is a religious issue.
Currently out of the major people the media has been reporting on as "contenders" for the Republican Party in 2012, Palin is the ONLY one I would support.

Ya know Huck, forgivness via the Lord should come only from the Lord, you on the otherhand are responsible to a great degree for your lack of common sense, you know, one of the traits that Republicans need to possess to seperate them from Democrats.

Everyone down the line from that stupid prick's pardon would look at his record and see that the governor of his state where he committed his crimes thought he was reformed and repented.
100% of the lenient treatment after he was released can be traced to reliance upon Mr. Religious Conservative letting him go.
If you thought that con man couldn't get any more slimy, you were wrong.
