Oh, Sweet Lady Karma Kicked Mike Huckabee’s Butt
Remember that whole Kim Davis mess where Huckabee grabbed the stage and pranced around so damn excited because he thought he won another war to hurt people in Jesus’ name?
Remember how he had them play Eye of the Tiger like he’s Rocky?
Well, now he’s deeply in debt Rocky.
He was sued by the guy who wrote that music. Huckabee argued in court that it was a religious assembly so he didn’t have to have permission to use it.
Huuummmmmm…. That flew like a 50 pound turkey. Wanna know why? Because Huckabee’s political campaign for president paid for the event.
So Huckabee got stuck with a $25,000 copyright infringement. He paid $12,500 of it in May.
Since Huckabee’s campaign was perpetually broke, the 2016 washout petitioned the FEC to allow him to set up a special legal defense fund, but the FEC told him to bootstrap it up and pay the money himself.
Thank you, Madam Karma. You done good, girl.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
LOL … looks like that Karma girl is a high-maintenance broad!! Serves the Huckster right … LOL in Jesus’ name!! Amen and AMEN!!!
1I love this ruling against the Huckster! Maybe if all the songwriters sued the politicians using their music without express permission, they would stop or face the financial consequences. Then again, maybe not as so many of them seem to be too stupid to understand copyright issues.
2I agree, 1smartcanerican, I hope all the musicians who objected to their music being used without their permission by racist and bigot politicians learn the results of this lawsuit and do the same. It would be Sweet Karma in action.
3Wow! Huck got hucked!
4He can always go back to FOX news. Or to work for Drumpf.
5They are both Con-men. Or go dancing with the stars in drag.
Huck and Rick Oh God, now I can’t unsee this.
So that’s why we haven’t been hearing his pervangelical pronouncements during the last several months. Kudos to Survivor guitarist, Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist, Jim Peterik, for writing the song and suing the pants off Huckleberry.
6“it was a religious assembly so he didn’t have to have permission to use it.”
Wait, what?! Since when has it been ok to rip off people if it was done for a religious assembly? Isn’t stealing a sin?
7I wonder if his new pad on the Gulf is paid for or mortgaged to the hilt?

8Blessings upon their heads for suing this jerk.
9Religious, huh.
Isn’t there something somewhere in the Bible about “Thou shalt not steal?” Just askin’. I’m sure that Huckabee, as a devout Kristian, knows.
10Of course, “religious assembly” doesn’t apply to anything but Protestant Christianity.
11P.I.T.Y.
( But your honor, my OuiJasus board said it was okay! )
12When are they ever going to learn they should just stick to playing Ted Nugent and Hank Williams the Lesser? Kid Rock might not care either.
13You’re close, Ormond. It only applies to Evangelical Protestant Christianity. All others need not apply.
14I accept his religious beliefs although I don’t agree with any of it. In a previous email exchange. I asked the following question. I know what God doesn’t do -what exactly does he/she do? Dead silence. No offence intended.
15I’m not sure where he got the idea that a religious assembly would be exempt from getting permission and paying a royalty. Our church has to subscribe to a music provider to use music that has a copy right. Unless it’s in the public domain we have to pay.
16Even if it were a religious assembly, the exemption to copyright does not apply to recorded music, only live performances.

17Hmmm. My old church, ELCA, had to pay copyright fees too.
I read the article about Huckafree’s mansion, thanks Fred. That sucker is huge! It’s on an eroding shoreline and taxpayers have already paid some of the costs for global warming erosion. Wanna bet that when the place gets wiped out by a hurricane, Huckafree will be crying to FEMA for more of our $ to bail his hairy ass out?
18Hmmm. I have a different definition of “religion” than Huckabee seems to. It goes like this: Religion is a viewpoint that people voluntarily accept — NOT one which is thrust down their throats whether they like it or not.
And, in fact, if he would bother to read the book his religion is supposed to be based on, he would see it right there printed out in black and white – or red and white as the case might be.
Personal choice, Hucky. That’s what it’s about – whether YOU like it or not.
Was personal choice something that either Huckabee or Davis were advocating? Um, no. Pay up.
And, if there is a God, Davis will be included in that judgment, too.
19Playing your favorite song on the jukebox?
25 cents.
Trying to get the jukebox to play for free?
Priceless.
There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else Mike Huckabee better put it on his Mastercard.
20The Eighth Commandment ought to be more real for Mike Huckabee than Article XII of the U.S. Constitution is for Donald Trump.
21Seeing the current lineup of contestants on Dancing With The Stars, why don’t they ask Huck to participate. Or the dreadful braless Kimmie. Where is that twit nowadays?
