Mike Huckabee Compares Using Drugs to Committing Incest
In defense of his anti-gay prejudice, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee goes off the deep end:
Yeah, I'm not aware of any political movement to legalize incest, though. This reminds me of the popular prohibitionist argument that you can't legalize drugs without legalizing murder (except with a dose of homophobia mixed in for extra meanness points).

"You donât go ahead and accommodate every behavioral pattern that is against the ideal," he said of same-sex marriage. "That would be like saying, well, there are a lot of people who like to use drugs, so letâs go ahead and accommodate those who want who use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, so we should accommodate them." [TCNJPerspective]
