Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee shot back on Thursday at recent claims made by Glenn Beck that he is a "progressive," a word that the conservative radio host often uses to describe some of his most prominent enemies. Beck declared earlier this week that Huckabee was "John McCain" and a "progressive" because of his choice to defend First Lady Michelle Obama's anti-obesity initiative while other conservatives were getting in on the fray. Huckabee retaliated with a post on his PAC's website Thursday, standing by his support of the First Lady's program and even taking a few shots of his own at Beck. "This week Glenn Beck has taken to his radio show to attack me as a Progressive, which he has said is the same as a 'cancer' and a 'Nazi,'" Huckabee wrote. "What did I do that apparently caused him to link me to a fatal disease and a form of government that murdered millions of innocent Jews? I had the audacity--not of hope--but the audacity to give respect to the efforts of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign to address childhood obesity." Huckabee continued: "He seems to fancy himself a prophet of sorts for his linking so many people and events together to describe a massive global conspiracy for pretty much everything. Sadly, he seems equally inept at recognizing the obvious fact that children are increasingly obese and that we now see clinical evidence of diseases in children that as recent as 20 years ago were found only in adults, such as Type 2 diabetes. The costs to our nation are staggering in increase health care expenses, but it even effects national security with now 75% of young men between the ages of 17 and 24 are unfit for military service primarily due to obesity!" Then Huckabee went after Beck's controversial history of delving into conspiracy theories. "Beck needs to stick to conspiracies that canât be so easily de-bunked by facts," wrote Huckabee. "Why Beck has decided to aim his overloaded guns on me is beyond me. But he ought to clean his gun and point it more carefully lest it blow up in his face like it did this time."
