Huckabee wants us to remember what rape has done for us 

That is not a bad thing to say."Ethel Waters, for example, was the result of a forcible rape," Huckabee said of the late American gospel singer. One-time presidential candidate Huckabee added: "I used to work for James Robison back in the 1970s, he leads a large Christian organization. He, himself, was the result of a forcible rape. And so I know it happens, and yet even from those horrible, horrible tragedies of rape, which are inexcusable and indefensible, life has come and sometimes, you know, those people are able to do extraordinary things."
Now before I say what I came here to say, please understand (and I can back this up wtih quotes in the archived OT) that I happen to think Huckabee is an bug-eyed ET who, had he ever won the Presidency would have taken off his human mask and devoured the press corps. I really am not fond of him.
Anyway, moving on. What he actually said, before being twisted with prefaces and whatnot by the article in the OP link, is not actually bad imho.

Oh dear God... at least our politicians all seem to be living on the same planet as us!
If I hand the GOP a shovel I wonder if they'll actually reach China?
Well, it must be true... after all, Jesus wasn't born of consensual sex between Mary and God... she never gave permission before getting pregnant (however it really happened).![]()
