So I was going to try to ask all the candidates how old they thought the earth was.

Is it 6,000 years old as the fundie base claims?

Or is it 4 billion years old as every sane person in the world accepts?

Well, you know me - I had to get there kind of circuitously; I couldn’t just come right out and ask the question.

Man, was I surprised at the answer I got…

Duncan Hunter said - I’m not kidding - you can hear it yourself, “the complexities of life manifest something more than a half-assed creation.”

I think we have a commercial!

[UPDATE] A few people have suggested that I got the quote wrong - that Hunter said “half-baked” or something like that.  I guess I could be wrong, but it certainly wasn’t intentional.  Listening through my computer speakers - at least 4-5 times - I heard “half-assed”.  So I guess this isn’t the “oooh, snap!” I thought it was…  well, lessee what else I’ve got…

    Holy shit. You’re kind of hilarious.

    “half-hatched” creation. Nice try though.

    I definitely heard “half-assed”. What the hell does “Half-hatched” mean, anyway?
    IS that some ID doublespeak?
    Of course he won’t come right out and say either way, lest he piss off his fundi backers or reveal himself as an idiot. What a politician.

    Hmm… After careful analysis (I listened to it REALLY loud) It seems that Hunter may have said “Hap-hazard Arrangement”

    But I still think you’re a hero Stark. Get out there and bust some egos.

    Wow, you are an absolute idiot. You try to hide behind the pursuit of hypocrisy and exposure of the corrupt, but you are just a joke.

    Yeah right, Mike….You actually expect a person who just listened to the comment to believe that Duncan Hunter said “half-hatched” creation?…what’s next…Coulter was referring to a bundle of sticks when she used the term “faggot”? “Macaca” is really a Portrugese term of endearment that translates to “mischevious child”? “Mission Accomplished” was intended to refer to the crew of the Abraham Lincoln, NOT the Iraq War? and adding rat poison to Justice Stephen’s Creme Brulee was somehow intended to help with the growing rodent problem at Walter Reed?

    I’ll tell you what, Mikie….It all smells like a big steaming pile of neo-Conservitive bullshit to me….would one of you Repukes please…for once in your LIFE….stand up like men and take responsibility for your freaking comments!

    Usual neo-con answer…”Who are you going to believe…your lying ears or ME?”

    It’s much to complex to be “half-assed.” Hunter knows asses, expecially since his head is intimately aquainted with his.

    Not to distract from bryan’s apt remark, as a person who deals with the minutae of audio,
    it’s half assed pure and simple….

    He said ‘half-assed’–no question in my mind

  10. 10 Ron

    I do transcrition work, and listened to it a couple of times through my software, including sharpened and slowed down.(Yes, I am bored) It’s half-assed. There’s absolutely no ‘b’ sound as in ‘baked’, and a strong ’ss’ sound. If someone’s going to try to spin this, it’s going to have to fit into those criteria.

    if he said, haphazard, then he is a mumble mouth

    i really dont care if hunter is a potty mouth

    he is a wingnut nutjob and a full out racist

    i hope he wins the nomination

    I listened to it about 15 times, and it DEFINITELY sounds like half-assed. If you think otherwise, I can’t imagine what’s wrong with your eardrums. It’s time to see a doctor.

  13. 13 Frank

    Mike,

    I listened to it and it sounded like hap-hazzard to me. It is funny though how he ran from the creationist question concerning the age of the earth.

  14. 14 Bob Calder

    Screw the creation comment. I think the “We gotta lay out all the…..” Options “Yeah, options.” is the kicker.

    I am very much for putting all the options before children. First, Natural Selection, then the Heberw God right up to and including the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

    There is no evidence of anything other than Natural Selection acting in nature. None whatever. So it has to be made clear that when you mandate laying out all the options, there is one natural option and several supernatural options, none of which are supportable as science.

    I also heard “half-assed.” That’s not what’s scary… what’s scary is this guy, a presidential candidate, believes in fairy tales like “intelligent design”
