It’s not easy to tell which one of the occupants of the Republican clown car are more ignorant.  I realize some of them say stupid things just to pander to one constituency or another.  A few of them actually believe the stupid things they say.  People like Scott Walker get everything they say from the big money men like the Koch brothers.  If I had to cast a vote for the most ignorant it would be Mike Huckabee.

Mike Huckabee blunders his way through Israel press conference

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee delivered a confused and garbled press conference in Jerusalem during a brief campaign stop, which included a controversial fundraising visit to a settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories.

At times taking positions to the right of Israel’s government, the former governor of Arkansas at one stage described Russia as the “Soviet Union” – when referring to its plans to supply Iran with S-300 anti-aircraft missiles – before correcting himself.

He also seemed to suggest that the West Bank bordered one of Israel’s enemies, as opposed to Jordan, which has long enjoyed a peace treaty with Israel.

…….

The country neighbouring the West Bank, however, is Jordan which has a peace treaty with Israel.

Rejecting the use of the words “West Bank”, Huckabee said it should be called “Judea and Samaria”, adding: “I don’t see it as occupied, that makes it appear as if someone is illegally taking land. I don’t see it that way.”

Mike Huckabee seems to have very little knowledge of history and for a minister seems to have limited knowledge of the Bible.
