Huckabee "teaches" kids American "history" with weird cheesy videos (Congress, Reagan)

This is well worth a gander, and the comments are exceptionally awesome.

Mike Huckabee Fixes American History (VIDEO) | TPMDC

Late Wednesday, Huckabee announced LearnOurHistory.com, a sort of BMG Music Club for what he calls "unbiased" historical lessons for kids. For around $15 each, the company will send you a new animated tale of American history each month, told through the eyes of a gang of time traveling kids.

The first video (available for just $9.95, with a gift bag full of goodies)? "The Reagan Revolution." Naturally.

Huckabee cannot be for real.

Can he?

Howard Zinn is rolling over in his grave...

Some of those comments were gold!

Apparently, in his version of history, America declared war on Germany.

And Reagan rid Washington DC of knife-wielding black disco fiends!

"Gimme yo MONEY!"

Watching those would make a kid wanta just rush right out and enlist to defend God, Mom, the Flag and Apple Pie!

Which, of course, is something Huckabee never bothered to do.

I notice that the one on the Reagan Revolution doesn't mention that he started out as a liberal Democrat and union President. Can't tell that because it wouldn't fit the "unbiased" principle of the videos.

$50 in free gifts. WOW!!! It's like Mike Huckabee is giving me money.

So glad Huckabee is providing Home Schoolers with the material they need to counter all that "indoctrination" taking place on our public schools!

So because you are illiterate in American history Huckabee is wrong?

His version of history is correct, America declared war on http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/Flag_of_Nazi_Germany_%281933-1945%29.svg/22px-Flag_of_Nazi_Germany_%281933-1945%29.svg.png (broken link) Germany Dec. 11, 1941

On December 11, 1941, the United States Congress declared war upon Germany, in response to that nation's declaration of war following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.[1]

Next time please do some research on the subject you are posting about.....

Oh, and BTW, America also declared war against Germany in WW1 on April 6, 1917 too......

The reference is in the URL I posted earlier........

Ah, but in Huckabee's version, there is no mention of Germany declaring war on us FIRST. Wouldn't you say that is a fact important enough to mention?

And thus the problem with this jingoistic America-centric treatment of "history."
