Republican Congressman King: Terrorists Will “Dance In the Streets” With Obama Victory

Just tried to email Rep. King’s office in Washington, the form wouldn’t allow me to send an email because my zip code was not from Iowa. Is that legal to not allow me to email a US Rep?
I wonder if King realizes that the 100 years of quagmire Sen. John W. McCain promises is precisely what Al Qaeda wants.

Well, you will have to agree with the guy. Ugly truth that the media has dodged for so long.

He is so right with what he is saying I know Obama supporters wont want to hear that but it is very true, if they don’t agree with him all they have to do is show us the proof that what he is saying is wrong.

That a man of Steve King’s total lack of intelligence and civility has ANY role in US politics is something this country should be deeply worried about.
I vote Republican and I hope McCain will strongly denounce this crap. More of this and there will be no need for general elections. The Republican moral is at an all time low already after the Bush-Cheney debacle. Steve King, go home and stay there, please.

What I love about the Republican party is how the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Still going with the fear-mongering tactics employed by your president with the 28% approval rating? Good luck with that.

At a time when young American men and women are dying in the battle field, if the right wing swift boaters think these are the kinds of attacks that are going to have traction with the American people, then they surely are misreading the pain of the Country. They may end up doing more damage to the candidates they think they are supporting this time around. I believe the American people have now put the credibly of the message and messenger side by side. The lightness of both is overwhelming. If McCain wants them on his side then he too would be risking what ever credibility he has now left.
No matter what the right-wing demagogues and their Clinton counterparts on the Democratic side do, I hope the Obama and McCain campaigns honor us by not treating us like morons.

Talking about fear, reading the comments posted here you can see fear in the Obama supporters. They fear to see Obama’s true color.

I was disgusted that any American politician could lower him/herself to such a level as to attack someone about their name! Are we in kindergarden?? Are we in high school? Are we that primative that we would allow something like this to happen in our American politics? Enough of the hatred, enough of the divide. We need our government to work together and hopefully Iowa will throw King out for being about as ignorant as can be.

I haven’t declared my support for any democrat yet but very disgusted by king’s comments. I tried to send him an e-mail but could not. I hope, the media who made this news will tell his office how people in this country are fed up with fear politics. Mr King and other conservatives ought to be ashamed of making such unfounded and divisive comments. I wonder what god they worship.

What’s also nice about the Republicans is just when you start to consider their positions seriously, one of them shows his “true colors”, and reminds us why we rejected them in the last election.

WHAT dance would they be doing, did he say?
But don’t laugh: last year, the gutless House of Representatives — except Reps. Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.), Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), Bobby Scott (D-Va.), Pete Stark (D-Calif.) and Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) — okay’d King’s H.R. 847, specifying that “Christians” and Christmas are important.
King was first elected in 2002, and is a Catholic. Don’t know if he dances.

Has John Kerry or Tom Daschle called a press conference yet calling King’s remarks “unfortunate” and suggesting that he resign?
Maybe they should ALL resign?

POwer was overseas telling them Obama’s foriegn policy would not be “what’s good for the Jews”. look it up.

As an American, an Iowan, and an Obama supporter – you can bet Steve King will have a hard time getting re-elected in this State! What an ignorant thing to say. If a state representative actually believes that stuff, the folks who voted him in should join him with all the other delusional idiots spreading those lies!

Shame on Rep.Steve King,Iowa. His thinking justifies why there should be a new face with new thinking in the White House. If it weren’t for Obama’s win in Iowa, a prejudiced person might think that all Iowan’s thought as King.
The way Iowans turned out for Obama is the way they should turn out against King when his term is up. The words from the mouth reflect the thoughts in the heart. America cannot thrive with this type of rhetoric. Stamp out the ignorance of prejudice. VOTE FOR CHANGE.

Obama would be a great tele – evangelist.

These are the types of comments that make me ashamed of my party. Republicans may be known for many things, but until inclusiveness becomes one of them…we will continue to look like an outdated model.

The terrorists are ALREADY dancing in the streets…ever since Bush Jr invaded Iraq…and failed so miserably. It provided Al Queda the greatest recruiting tool and training ground they could have dreamed of. And over six years after 9/11…Bin Laden’s still running free and every US intelligence agency says Al Queda is stronger than it was then. King is just another delusional Republican. Instead of making idiotic racist speeches…shouldn’t he be taking bribes or trying to pick up on strange men in bathrooms…like a normal Republican?

Anonimity is fertilizer to the cowardice of racism.

It takes courage to speak unpleasant facts – and courage to listen to them!
Do we not want to examine all aspects of a potential presidential candidate?
Would we really want a president who is elected simply because he is an eloquent orator and black voters are creating a voting block based overwhelmingly on race alone?
Vote responsibly!

I’ll bet McCain’s wondering why his base seems to be the deranged demographic. Surely he has some normal, responsible adults supporting him? Maybe not….

Louis Farrakhan is already dancing in the streets in anticipation of a Barack presidency. What does that tell you?
King is right.

Honest Democrat, I applaud you for telling the truth about your party and how they operate. Kudos to you. It’s hard to be a democrat nowadays when you love the truth.

It’s non-stop conspiracy time again among some of my fellow Democrats. Americans speaking openly over the airwaves? That’s now “hate radio”…
And somehow, FoxNews is the “devil” for daring to report the truth about some of my fellow Democrats.
Honestly, FoxNews and Talk Radio are probably two of the things that have kept our country free of Democrat party tyranny. And yes, like it or not, I am a Democrat and I STILL want a two-party system. Not everything coming from our party’s “talking points” has been right, especially for the past 6-7 years.
And from what I hear, I am among PLENTY of people from BOTH sides of the aisle who are voicing their support for Congressman King and his right to speak the truth.
I thought MY Democrat party was supposed to be so “tolerant”… well, look at us now. We’re demanding that Congressman King be silenced. That’s disgusting. It’s just like the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” that both Obama AND Clinton are pushing. They do not like dissent, and sadly, too many of my fellow Democrats are playing right along.
King was right about Obama.

This guy is a bigot. Not the first time he has said something stupid, wont be the last.
The best thing that could come out of this is for a well financed (pour the money in Dems) opponent to take his seat from him in November.

Steve King, I dare you to name a just a few countries in which the terrorists will be dancing in the streets.
Careful now, don’t dig yourself in a hole.

King is a racist and an idiot, I can only hope that some of the people of Iowa are smarter and not racist, I wonder where all this people posting their racist ignorance here come from. From my experience living in the USA for 12 years, a lot of older (and not so) white Americans are racist to a certain extent. More so in the country side. Lets not forget that a ton of white people living in Martin Luther King’s time where openly racist, those things are easy to hide, but they come out eventually.

Steve King is a fear monger. I doubt if he has any evidence for making the statement.
The way to challenge him is to ask him to provide evidence to back up his statement. In an earlier post I have challenged him to name a just a few countries where terrorists would dance in the streets.
He dare not mention most of the Middle Eastern countries or Pakistan. The reason is very simple. These Muslim countries are our staunch allies and are fighting terrorism on their door step. They are providing us with intelligence and countries like Pakistan have captured and turned over to us some Al Qaeda leaders.
The Muslim countries (including Syria) were with us in the first Gulf War. They have not supported our invasion and occupation of Iraq.
The likes of Steve King have very little understanding of what’s going on in the world. People like him will only succeed in eroding our influence around the world, alienating our allies and make it more difficult for us to fight terrorism.
A recent poll by Times of London concluded that the majority in Western Countries like Britain and Germany believed that Barack Obama would be the best choice for President. Would Steve King argue that the majority in countries like Britain and Germany are terrorists?
And just to remind Steve King, we liked the name Hussein when Saddam fought a war against Iran. Didn’t we supply him with arms?

I’ll be dancing in the streets when this jackass dies.

i will vote republican before i vote for that black dude

Steve King will be investigated and destroyed by Iowans who overwhelmingly voted for Obama. His son’s Construction Business will soon be under attack. His passport to enter Washington DC will be revoked soon and he will be persona nongrata and sent to Guantanamo Bay by his own party.

Sounds like Mr. King is fear mongering; to try and control the election. I am a registered Republican; voted for Obama, in my state primary, due to these types of tactics. We pumped up the terrorists when Carousing Clinton was in office; think everything has calmed down now.
Mr. King and the Clinton’s need to get out of the past.

What makes this person speak for all people.. I think it will bring some unity from other country. Voting for Obama will open up the posibility for others to speak up. Obama is going to bring this county some must needed “RESPECT”

KING SHOULD BE FIRED. HE IS NO BETTER THEN “IMAS” MAKING THAT STATEMENT.
I CAN’T BELIEVE CNN IS EVENING SHOWING THIS COMENT.
SO IS KING SAYING THAT HE SPEAKS FOR ALL PEOPLE OR HIS PERSONAL THOUGHTS?
HE MUST NOT LIKE HIS JOB EITHER!

As an outsider watching Americans exercising the political process they try to export to the rest of the world, I am appalled by the vitriol and hatred that characterises some of their ‘democratically’ elected leaders, as well as some contributers on this site. Growing up as a young man, I used to admire American politics, under the umbrella of free speech. I naturally assumed that politically minded people in America will always engage discussion and debate around issues – not trade personal insults and making degrading comments based on a person’s name – something you normally find in so-called third-world countries. Following American politics for the first time in my life, I HAVE BECOME FULLY PERSUADED THAT AMERICANS ARE JUST AS IGNORANT AND AS UNDEMOCRATIC AS THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES THEY SO DESPISE! What Americans need to learn, or maybe, BELIEVE, is that POWER BELONGS TO GOD, and he gives it to whomsoever He wills -One day the wealth which America was blessed with – and which America has used to abuse the world with, will be taken away and given to a more deserving nation. I am ashamed to have supported America in over other nations in the past!!!

HE IS A FOOL AND AN IDIOT. A PREJUDICED AND RACIST FOOL LIKE STEVE KING IS NOT FIT TO HOLD ANY PUBLIC OFFICE.

So if Al Qaeda would come out of their hiding because Obama is the president – great! We can apprehend them while they are busy dancing in the streets – Mission Accomplished on Day One!

Obama says he will go into Pakistan on actionable intelligence. His opponents call him a fool. Bush says he would not do it.
Months later the CIA does the exact same thing. Obama is vindicated. Bush still misrepresents his position.
Exactly why should the terrorist be dancing? They will be targeted effectively, as they should have been, rather than trying to get to them by invading non-related countries.

Well this is exactly why I vote Democrat and the end of the day. What kind of public officals would say somthing as ridiculus as this. And to be fair…this is as bad as the Obama supporter referring to HRC as a monster. Some people should not be allowed to speak.

I am an independent, but feel badly for Republicans who get a bad name from these negative name callers like Rep. Steve King.

WHile I personally think a govt. official this racist should resign, at the very LEAST, senator McCain needs to instantly deal strongly with this and repudiate this man. And, why does the media perpetuate racism by even reporting such a despicable comment???

Ignorance is bliss. Are Obama supporters unaware of his business dealings with the criminal from Syria now on trial in Chicago, his close friendship w/the palastian professor, and Mr.Wright his pastor and personal advisor,and Louis Farrakhan their HERO. The left wingnuts who are the real know-nots and Aces in stupidity, the in-your-face racists ideas of Obama are blatant. The way Obama has addressed the REAL PLAN he has for America is w/stunning silence.

I applaud Congressman Steve King. I have been making this very statement on blog upon blog. I have sent this same concern to many of the news media, who tend to have ignored the ties that Obama has to Islam, first through his father, and then his step-father, and by his very ancestory.
It seems that people have forgotten that people with muslim names caused September 11, 2001.
There is still to much about Obama that is not known. The news media must, for the benefit of the USA, get out their shovels and dig deeply into Obama. Then, they must, for the good of the United States,share those findings with the American people, before we go to the polls in November.

If Barack would be able to get these terrorists dancing it would be the end of islamic fundamentalism. Quite an achievement!
Remember Taliban rule? Islamic fundamentalists aren’t allowed to dance.
But how would Steve King now?

I am a Hillary supporter, but comments like this make me sick. As it was once said.. Facism will come to America draped in a flag and carrying a cross.

Cripes they are already dancing in the streets, King and his ignorant ilk – hey let’s give some weapons to the people who were killing us – (how’d that work out last time – giving weapons to evil people? Sure seemed to help frustrate the Soviets, but then we got the Taliban and Al Queda shelter and of course 9/11) set the stage for a big dance last week as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rode in like he was the savior of Islam and the whole Middle East. Yup, looks like King, Bush, McCain and co have bought us a real nice celebration for our declared enemy.

I wonder which streets are they going to dance in.I thought the American forces patrol the streets right now looking for Al Queda.Maybe it will be easier to catch Al queda miltants while they are dancing

Congressman King is the example of the the kind of change in leadership that is imperative for our county to restore its status as a world leader.
This is so sad. We Americans are smarter than this.
This man is desperate and myopic.
Please don’t paint the citizen’s of Iowa with the same paint brush as their delusion representative.
We the people who make this country great are better than this.

As a non-white republican, I find it fascinating how you white folks dance around race relations. Kings comments will fade into nothingness by Monday. But here’s the real question: would Obama be so exciting if her were white? Would his speeches of “hope” and “change” sound so much like every candidate? Would any candidate having such little experience be given a pass and rise so high?
Those are the question we need to be asking ourselves; NOT whether his middle name will inspire ululation from Bedouins and not whether Arabs can look at the photo op picture and say “he looks like Uncle Al”. Is he more qualified to be the Democratic Nominee because he is Black… will his nomination remove the stain of discrimination from this Nation? If he does get the nod… it will be in part because of liberal white guilt! We need the best qualified person, NOT an affirmative action president.

Just goes to show you. All those movies about standing for freedom and the American way is an isolated term run by fools.

This man represents Iowa’s Republicans??? I come from a long line of Republicans, but the more I hear such comments from my party, the more I realize that they do not represent who I am, and what I believe in. I do believe it is time for “Change”.

What a sad comment from a member of our own government. Even the term “dancing in the streets..” is disrespectful.

Well, if there are divisions in America, comments such as these are partly to blame. I’m am very tired of the GOP’s fear-mongering. This makes me want to completely change the political landscape–and Obama seems most likely to do that.

Congressman King comments is very unethical and unintelligent, it is a perfect example of the type leadership that we don’t need to serve in the U.S. Congress. Don’t blame the citizens of the great state of Iowa, blame the ignorance and stupidity on this so call Congressman. Do everyone a favor and resign.

But calling hillary a monster is A OK … :-) Thanks guys you make your own case useless.. He said to people in other countries that are not civilized and will use any weapon they have against us. Which unfortunatly is true. Do you think terrorists and 3rd world countries are gonna be protesting LOL I wish I was as enlightened to believe as you. Truth is these are people only educated by name meaning, religion, and fear. They dont have the luxury of education and free will thinking we so are accustomed. I disagree with the comment but I believe he has stated a truth that maybe our diverse (thankfully) and diverse population does not remember in their own history. We have come along way but the world is a big scarry place with people who dont respond to kumbaya and hugs. They believe in one right, just as the cathlioc church even in history is responsible for countless wars and deathes, but then again for anyone to admit their own heritage being wrong would be just ignorant huh. Facts are facts and unfortunatly the middle east doesnt have the same diversity training that we do. (once again thank the clintons for all the civil rights work they accomplished and how alot of the diversity and acceptance we have today comes from that era) but its again only history that doesnt exsist because its positive against the person you dislike.

Thank you, Rep King, for having the guts to say the obvious.
If Obama is elected, yes they will dance in the streets, mark my words. If Obama wins, you’ll see it just as clearly as I will. Watch them dance. It’ll be photographed and you won’t be able to deny it. IT won’t be something any of you can deny anymore out of butt-headedness.

Blaine,
People here are no worse than any place else. They do what people do. Are you saying you’re better than anyone else in the country? Explain.
People in other countries, I might remind you, do nasty things too–astonishing things like genital mutilations and genocide, bus bombings and chopping peoples’ heads off on videotape. Did you see the mass murder photos of bodies in the jungle in S. America last week? I can’t remember when I’ve seen photos like that taken in the US. CAn you?

Once Bush is of office everyone everywhere will be dancing in the streets. This is a good thing, no?

Its time for the US to draw a clear line between politic and obvious racism under the cover of political game.
This is not tolerable.

if people truly love their children and care about the troops, then they already know not to support mccain over either obama or the candidate who will be the best President that America needs, Senator Hillary Clinton

GOP can say anything against this man because they know they must lose if he were the democratic nominee. They want Hillary to win, and Hillary will certainly lose the national election if she managed to get the democratic nomination underhandedly.

Barrack Hussein Obama. The name says it all that Al Quada will be very happy when he wins the Presidency. Obama will retreat just the way the terrorists hope for us to surrender and give up.
In essence Bin Laden has a friend in Obama, since Obama will do exactly what Bin Laden wants and that is our loss in Iraq. And yes Al Quada will acknowledge that Obamas family is Muslim and that America now will begin its conversion process. I think we can look forward to a Bin Laden audio or video tape to this extent soon.

There is some truth in this comment.
I do believe that as Americans we want to see the good in all.
We need to investigate all candidates and let all of these accusations come to the forefront.
Obama should discuss his father
Obama should discuss his name
Obama should discuss his church’s support of radical Farrakhan and why he still attends it
Obama should be asked questions about Reskco the criminal from Chicago
Obama should explain why he keeps telling governments one thing and the American people another
What are we kidding.
All candidates should be thoroughly
investigated.
Wake up America.

The greatest threat to America democracy are those Americans incapble of thinking beyond the ten foot square in front of a television tuned to the corporately manipulated fascist noise machine known as the MSM, where unAmerican neo-fascist rats like Rep. King have crawled from the sewers of the American political, business, and religious communities and allowed the light of day by same

The republican’s senator uses hate to distract from the point. A tactic done when the commenter is in the wrong. Educated people see through it, others do not. When in war with terrorists one must go to where the terrorists are and operate. The terrorists are operating out of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The two places where Barak Obama wants to focus in on because as we all know Iraq was a colossal mistake. Focusing on the middle name “Hussien” is the Republican Senators attempt to pander to the stupid. The people who’d rather attack then think. The types that shoot at a moving shadow without ever knowing if it’s a threat. That’s why Obama has the largest number of educated voters. Selling fear to Amarican’s is so pathetically easy that the rest of the world would be laughing if it didn’t represent a clear and present danger to the rest of us. The younger generation get it. They’re not the stupid ones. They can see through the BS because they are the media generation and the lies don’t sell.

Obama/Biden 2008 & 2012

I think before anyone posts or says anything about which one of our politicians should be our next president they should take a look at some of the facts about our situation, and then ask the right questions.
First, the United States is legally broke!
Our government is managing our fiscal debt ledger worst than Enron or other corporations that went bust. If you do not believe me, go to the General Accounting Office (GAO) and read what our Comptroller General David Walker has been saying for the past two years in his Fiscal Wake-up Tour. Just type in the Google bar, GAO and then look at the lower right and you will see, Fiscal Wake-up Tour. Please take the time to view some of the videos and look at the slides concerning our fiscal debt. Next, Google 60 Minutes – David Walker and view their program on what he has been screaming for the past two years. Our politicians continue ignoring him.
Once you have done your homework, ask why all we are hearing from our politicians is what additional money they are going to spend for our good, not what programs they are going to cut to save our nation.
They are just like the irresponsible families that are forced into bankruptcy by credit cards. It is just like parents giving their children all of the credit cards and telling them to go spend; we will worry about how we are going to pay them off on December 9, 2008. Why this date?
You need to review S. 2063, “The Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action Act of 2007.” It requires lawmakers to swiftly address the nation’s long-term fiscal challenges, and to ensure the nation’s future economic security and prosperity.
The Act establishes a bipartisan task force of Congressional Members and Administration officials who will make bipartisan recommendations on how to immediately and substantially improve the government’s long-term fiscal imbalances.
A detailed report of the Task Force’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations (including legislative text required to implement these recommendations) must be submitted to Congress and the President on December 9, 2008.
Simply put, our years and years of spending has finally caught up with us and now it is time to face the facts but our politicians refuse to do so. Our mainstreet media refuses to ask questions of our presidential candidates. In order to fix our financial challenge it is going to take massive program cuts and massive tax increases, however, our politicians do not want to face it, they want to continue spending your tax dollars to buy your votes.
We are almost $10 trillion dollars in debt, our fiscal debt ceiling has been raised five times since 2002. Communist Red China owns $400 billion of our IOUs and has $1.3 trillion U.S. dollars, in cash, in their bank.

** ‘WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO THE REST OF THE WORLD??!’, OBAMA AS PRESIDENT?!!…
WELL, FOR ONE,THAT AMERICA ISN’T A LIE WHEN IT COMES TO TELLING AN AMERICAN CHILD HOW THEY CAN BE WHAT THEY WORK HARD AND PUT THEIR MIND TO BEING, OR ASKING A CHILD WHAT HE OR SHE WOULD LIKE TO BE WHEN THEY GROW UP,WITH POLICE, DR, LAWYER or PRESIDENT,BEING FEW, AMONGST THE MANY “CHOICES”!!!. FREEDOM? FREEDOM OF CHOICE? FOR WHO, WHOM, JUST ONLY ONE RACE, KIND OR A NAME APPROVED OF??!
WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE TO THE REST OF THE WORLD??!!… WHAT HAS AMERICA LOOKED LIKE FOR SO LONG, TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, BEFORE THIS ELECTION?? OH! LETS NOT THINK ABOUT, NOR ADDRESS SUCH??!
SOUNDS LIKE MORE OF THAT TYPICAL ‘FEAR’…! FEARS OF A ‘REAL’ CHANGE.
WHAT IF IT WAS A CHINESE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, A RUSSIAN, GERMAN, MEXICAN, ON AND ON ??
WHAT COUNTRY AND FATHER WOULD BE USED ON EM, THEN??!!!
SOMEONE HAS WORKED HARD, SOMEONE HAS BELIEVED, SOMEONE HAS A DREAM, AND WENT THRU MORE THEN MOST, TO BE WHERE THEY ARE TODAY. ITS A DISGRACE TO TEAR SUCH APART, TO TEAR DOWN, “AN AMERICAN WORK AND DREAM”???!!!
NONE OF US ARE THE GREATER POWERS OF THE UNIVERSE, SO ‘IF’ OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD JUMP FOR JOY, WHO REALLY KNOWS AND ‘UNDERSTAND’ WHY?! FOR MAYBE IT CAN BE OF GREATER DOORS THAT ARE SHUT, TO OPEN?!! WHO TRUELY KNOWS?
NEGATIVES SEEN ON ANOTHER, MAY TELL MORE ABOUT THE ONE(S) BRINGING EM ON, THEN THE ONE THEIR TALKING (or PERCEIVING) SUCH ABOUT !
KNOWING MORE ABOUT OBAMA IS MAINLY A CALL FOR MORE TO ARGUE ABOUT OR TEAR DOWN, FOR CAN’T EVEN GET PASS ‘A-NAME’, OH THAT’S RIGHT-TO BE AN AMERICAN YOU MUST BE NAMED JOHN, CHESTER, JAMES, GEORGE, JIMMY, THEODORE,RONALD, GERALD, RICHARD,…OR SIMILAR?!!
ALL IS FINE AS LONG AS THE YOUNGER GENERATION STAYS BEHIND THE CURTAINS AND THE OLDER JUST FOLLOW THE CONDITIONINGS THEIR TOLD.
WELL, THEY WERE DANCING IN THE STREETS WHEN THIS BEGAN AND WILL AFTER,… FOR THEIR DANCING IN THE ‘SPIRIT’ OF… (WOW!!! AMERICA MAY FINALLY LIVE UP TO THEIR TITLE- ‘LAND-OF-THE-FREE’, AND NOT DISCRIMINATE NOR MANIPULATE THE HARD WORKS AND DREAMS OF ONE, NOR ANOTHER,… BECAUSE-OF !!!!

I would like to know what Michelle Obama said in a thesis in college that has to be kept a secret? Can anybody tell me?

Obama is a Farce
Obama gets to be president, the middle east and al queada will be dancing in the streets. Many of them have already were Quoted saying just as much. They are looking forward to it.
He will be Live prey… Not because he is new and inexperience. But for what he believes in.
American People do not know anything about Obama, only what he has told you.
Many times that has been sheer lies.
Telling you one thing, then when called out on it, flip-flops to a direct opposite.
He has told Americans what they wanted, lead them to believe that is what he wants too. says he cares, pretends to be one of the gang, throws in some religion and the he is so good and kind. When in reality he keeps changing his mind about what he wants, Has lied to you and flip-flopped on so much already.
He keeps pumping you up, and leading you on for your votes. Once he gets in office, it is what he wants not you. Evident by his voting record.
He wants to make History, He wants to be the first Black President. He has a non- negotiable allegiance is to his church and the Black people.
He said he will change government. Hmmm I like democracy. You have told, him by your votes to change government. What do you want, Fascism , Socialism, Anarchy? I see many following Obama blindly…..
I wonder if he will make his religion a national thing. He said he will take his religion where ever he goes. Shame I do not like his religion. I like mine.
I do not know what kind of spell he has over some people…….Many should be waking up. Asking Question,Demanding answers, Putting pressure on for the truth and make him answer.
You owe it to yourself, Your Country and the Future of this country.
God Bless American.
We need it now, more than ever.

Wow at some of these comments that I read on here. Goes to show you how deep racism goes. Having a middle name that almost no one uses is now cause to point the finger at you as being a terrorist. Lets review things as they stand. Iran and Iraq were pretty much keeping each other in check. Now Iran is dominating the middle east. Only thing changed in Iraq is now the shiites are now in power. The same shiites that are beholding to Iran. Now now do the republicans spin this. America should stay in Iraq and play middle man to religious sects? Lets face it that is all that they are doing over there now. The war to get rid of saddam has been over for years. Spending billions fightin alqueda in iraq, that moved in because the US allowed them to is just preposterous to me. Now the Republicans would like to see america just stay there indefinitely. Unbelievable to me. Does some of these people even think, or are they that narrow minded? I can only shake my head at what america will look like in four years if america stays in Iraq. Its already pretty clear that Al quedas plan is working flawlessly. Devide the US, Stay in Iraq, make the US fight guerillas while using up all the resources of the country to do it. It would be nice if some repulicans with some sense would see things for what they are. It doesnt take a genius to put two and two together.

Question to all of you Obama supporters. The other evening, Obama, in response to a Hillary Clinton comment, stated words to the effect, I am skinny, but I grew up tough in Chicago. I presume that such comment was made to cause people to imagine an inner city kid from Chicago fighting to get ahead.
Now, when you read the profile of Obama, which is contained in wikipedia.com, it is stated that Obama, from fifth grade to 1979 attended the Punahou School in Hawaii. (born in 1961, so, in 1979, would be age 18, just right to graduate from High School)
Then, wikipedia.com comments are, he went to Los Angeles and studied at Occidental College for two years. Then, he moved on to Columbia University, NYC, where he received his BA in 1983. From there,worked at Business International Corporation and New York Public Interest Research Group before moving to Chicago to take a job as a community organizer.(wikipedia.com)
So, is this period of time ‘that I grew up tough in Chicago’ when he was working as a community organizer? Damn, that must have been rough. LOL
Wonder if that is where he first encountered Tony Rezko?
Lots about this guy that no one knows, of is afraid to share, for fear of reprisal or repercussion.
But, time will tell. It always does, but, hopefully, not to late to prevent him being elected, if he gets the nomination.

In regard to your statement “Obama win would have terrorists ‘dancing in the street’ because of his middle name, who his father was and because he wants to pull out of the Middle East” is utterly ridiculous. It is demeaning and racial. I am outraged at your comment!
It is absolutely impossible for me to understand how you can actually continue to condone the Iraq war. We should have ended our involvement when we “got” Saddam Hussein. That is, we never should have started the war in the first place. Not until we were sure Iraq was the culprit of 9-1-1.
Since then, we have spent billions of dollars and too many lives to support our mistake. We people who are not financially wealthy cannot afford to keep the war going. It is too expensive and deadly and will not end until we stop it. Pouring more and more money into the conflict will not resolve the conflict. Our country has suffered way too much to continue this fiasco. Money is not necessarily the only reason to end the war…the world attitude about us has been tarnished severely. I support Barack Obama to end the war and misery you Republications have created.
I am glad we are free country and can express our opinions but we need to be responsible for what we say anyway.

according to you Rep. Steve King if Obama were to become president of the united s. there will be wild celebration omong the terrorists or this world.
well actually Obama has been winning, state after state, caucus after caucus, delegates after delegates, yet the only ones i see celebrating wildly are the millions of your fellow American that wants him to stop the war in Iraq & Afghanistan.
i hope your Hon. is not indirectly calling American citizens terrorist, who else will celebrate America than Americans, or is he implying that the president of the Us will invariebly be the president of the wolrd?
if you look close enough you will notice that i did not complete the name United states because nothing is united about the states of America, how else can you explain a member or Rep. calling a presidential candidate & serving congress man ‘A FRIEND TO TERRORIST’ just because Saddam Hussien was bad does not make all Hussiens bad, unless his implying that they are related.

Rep. Steve ( childish ) King 1. You need Jesus. 2. Have fun because your days as a politician are over. And 3. Get your resume together because you will need it for finding a Job.

This guy is a freakazoid. He is the reason the GOP is losing credibility — quickly in this country. If I lived in Iowa with this guy in the House, I would vote him out — or move. Sad commentary on America — and the lack of integrity and intelligence.

Wow, there are some Republicians that must be getting VERY scared at what lies ahead in the General Election.
I’ll say this, if all the ammo they got agains Barack Obama is his name, they may as well swear him in tomorrow cause i don’t think there are enough idiots to buy that weak ass argument.
Then again we did elect GWB…twice
I still like the odds. GOBAMA!!

No wonder America is in the trouble she is in if that idiot is any example of who we have in Washington, DC! He needs to crawl back under the rock from which he came!

On November 1, 2004, even Fox News reported that the terrorist strategy in defeating us is to “bleed America to bankruptcy” through occupation.
King should understand that occupation is essential to the success of Bin Ladens strategy, before condemning our troops to unsustainable occupation. Bleeding the Soviets to bankruptcy was the successful strategy that Ronald Reagan used in the Soviet / Afgan war. We taught this strategy to Bin Laden when he was a “freedom fighter” for our causes. Unfortunately, Bin Laden has not forgotten, and as a terrorist has used it against us. King’s fearmongering far outweighs any concern he has for our troops. When strategy fails as dismally as here, people expect it to be changed.
Obama, will withdraw our troops. Strategic strikes will replace occupation—defeating the primary strategy to bankrupt us. Our troops will no longer be obligated to be mere targets for Al Qaedea bullets and bombs in a political shooting gallery.
Al Qaedea’s success is premised on politicians like Mr. King refusing to admit to arrogant mistakes and real economic conditions at home. If only King were as dedicated to our troops and national prosperity, as he is to facilitating Bin Laden’s strategy of bankrupting us through occupation.

Lie …Cheat… And semantics…No worry as long as opening Pandora’s box is blamed on someone else.
They are out of touch with ordinary people because they don’t earn that honest buck. “I would never demean a political party… but.”
Good old semantics… Playing around with the truth. Taking the bible and using it like a punchline to fit your own ends.That bothers me most of all, because their winning way is to do whatever is necessary. Regardless if it kills people in the process. They have such contempt for human life that they remind me of the aliens in “The arrival”. But they are more interesting.
Have you seen the civilian casualty rate in Iraq lately? there will be terrorists coming out of Iraq for the next 200 years. You can already see republicans laying the foundation for a future of denial.

He represents the worst elements in both the Republican and Democrat
Parties!
Make no mistake Ethnic Bigots in both
Parties have pandered to peoples fears regarding Mr Obama’s middle name!
Former Democrat Senator Bob Kerry comes to mind!
There is No place in politics for this
Garbage! Let’s debate the issues and keep the bigotry out of race from both sides of the aisle!

Would a US presidential candidate named “Adolf” stood much of a chance of winning an election in the 40′s?
Whether or not you agree or disagree with the article, the main reason why any rational, thinking person would avoid voting for either Clinton or Obama is because they’re both socialists.
Why not vote for someone who believes in capitalism, a free market, the Constitution and the rule of law? Sadly, I’m not totally convinced that McCain is that person either.
But a vote for Hillary or a vote for Obama is a vote for al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
You might as well vote for Hugo Chavez or Raul Castro or Kim Jong Il.

Unfortunately we only have a choice between 3 democrats, Obama, McCain and Clinton. The true conservatives dropped out long ago.
Matters not which one is elected, we will pay a hefty price. We will lament daily and wish that the U.S.A would have paid alot more attention to whom we elected to hold public offices instead of just electing someone because they promise to give us something.
Very few of the elected officials could care one whit about the U.S.A. and the Constitution. They only care on what it is that they can get from being elected to office.
We will truely get what we deserve and non should complain about it.
Good luck all.

For Republican in Kansas:
Michelle Robinson Obama wrote a senior thesis for her BA in Sociology from Princeton U in 1985. I downloaded a copy from the web and read it through. The premise of the thesis is that there are two groups of people differentiated by skin color. Those two groups are (1) black, and (2) white. The thrust of the thesis deals with the manner in which blacks and whites interact, and how these interactions change over time. She states that she felt she did not belong at Princeton (probably correct) and felt like a visitor. She concludes that yes, there is some change in the mixing of the races over time, but implies that that is because whitey controls everything, and that if a black wants a job, then they have to cozy up to the man. The thesis is about Michelle’s feelings, and reflects her mindset that everything — everything — is about race. Here is a woman who received a world-class education (who paid for it and how did she get in?) but four years later, is still whining about “still feel[ing] like a visitor on campus; as if i really don’t belong” in the university community. Now she is making a six-figure income living in a $million-plus home (bought under questionable circumstances), and just now she is “proud to be an American.” For Obama to choose a whiney racist for his wife says a lot about him. To imagine them (especially her) on the world stage is embarrassing. For her to have any influence on domestic policy could be racist retaliation against non-black people. By the way, there is no indication that the first draft of the thesis was made in crayola.

What I find so chilling is not the odd, crazed congressman who I hope will be voted out the next possible time, but that so many seem to support the bigotry.

To all those “creeped out” by the facts, do tell me something..what creeps you out more, is it what the Congressman said or what you viewed at these following links?

And by the way, this is not a “republican-democrat” thing,
Mr. George Bush is also clueless…

Interesting that Hillary is fond of claiming to have been a key player in the formulation of Clinton Foreign Policy: 9/11 was a direct result of the Clinton Administration’s feckless responses to the numerous Al-Qaida provocations and terrorist assaults against our national interests; as well as, Clinton’s inexplicable temerity in refusing to take Osama bin Laden into captivity when offered several times by the Sudanese. Clinton then exercised little more than his jawbone as bin Laden trained literally thousands of terrorists in his Afghan camps. All of which, convinced bin Laden that he could strike our homeland with relative impunity. The potential for success in bin Laden’s planned assault on our homeland was significantly enhanced by the infamous Gorelick memo, (Jamie Gorelick being a Hillary protege’), which the Clinton Administration promulgated to prohibit any terrorist information exchange between our FBI and CIA intelligence operatives. Further, in the Dec. 4, 1998 Presidential Daily Intelligence Brief , Clinton was advised that Bin Laden was preparing to hijack US aircraft to employ in terrorist attacks against our homeland. He was apparently too consumed in his pursuit of Monica to take follow-up action. However, history will record the most heinous assault on America’s national security interests by a U.S. president as Clinton’s transfer of our most advanced missile guidance technology to the CHICOM for a few campaign shekels. A CHICOM financial arrangement which Hillary continued under Norman Hsu and her ChinaTown dishwasher scam. Does any rational person really want to return the Clinton cabal/scandals to the White House? Greg Neubeck

To: A reader
“Just tried to email Rep. King’s office in Washington, the form wouldn’t allow me to send an email because my zip code was not from Iowa. Is that legal to not allow me to email a US Rep?
I wonder if King realizes that the 100 years of quagmire Sen. John W. McCain promises is precisely what Al Qaeda wants.”
Reid, Pelosi and all the dems do the same thing. They only want to hear from their constituents. You can, however, write a letter or, for the leadership positions, go the their official sites and post a message.
As to your post about McCain, you obviously have listened to his comments via the mainstream media. If you stopped for a minute and thought about it in a historical context, you wouldn’t put your foot in your mouth that way. What do I mean?
Well, let’s see, we have troops in Europe, right? Since D-Day we’ve had troops on the ground in Europe. Earlier than that we had troops in England prepping for the liberation of Europe. Is THAT a quagmire, skippy?
Iraq isn’t even a quagmire and never was. But folks like you pronounced it a quagmire 5 days into the liberation effort when the troops out-ran their supply lines and had to wait for supplies to catch up. Hardly a quagmire but the leftist, anti-Americans who run the media had to misrepresent the facts to start building an anti-Bush, anti-war movement.
Oh, and to the moron who said, “War never brings piece.” What the hell planet are you from? There is no peace without victory over one’s enemies, and more often than not, that means there was a war to settle things. Think “Revolutionary War”, “Civil War”, “Spanish-American War”, WWI, WWII, etc. Read a history book.

Thank you, Rep King, the US needs more leaders like you.

Jim Wallis, the evangelical theologian and best-selling author, gets the last word.
“Like his politics or not, support his candidacy or not — but don’t disparage Barack Obama’s faith, his church, his minister or his credibility as an articulate Christian layman who feels a vocation in politics,” Wallis wrote in a blog last week.
“Those falsehoods are simply vicious lies and should be denounced by people of faith from across the political spectrum.”

Rep. King has been a staunch supporter of immigration reform, and hence a supporter of his own people. He deserves immense credit and support for his posture. But this statement is a different matter altogether. Barack Obama couldn’t possibly be any worse than George Bush.
I think the reason we haven’t been attacked in a meaningful way since 9/11 is because al Qaeda and company have chosen not to. Bin Laden has us right where he wants us. We’re hated in the world like never before; we’re going deeper into debt every day to finance this way, and our dollar is sinking like a stone; and Bush is the most unpopular sitting president in my lifetime. Republicans have become so unpopular because of this war that bin Laden deserves much of the credit for the Republicans’ defeat in 2006. In a sense, he brought down our government.
It would be easy too easy for al Qaeda to launch another attack. They would only have to enter the country with the other illegal aliens, and their weapons could be smuggled in in bales of marihuana.
Since our borders are standing wide open, we’re only kidding ourselves if we think George Bush has stopped more attacks.

Don’t forget Mr. King that President Bush and his family are close friends with Osama Bin Laden family. Remember they wre able to fly out of the United States when all other flights were grounded. May be this is why Osama can not be found.

Congressman Steve King is shedding some truth on an American culture that has lost its way. The press should reveal Obama’s connections to hard left figures and his own voting record that is extremely liberal. And the press should reveal Obama’s connections muslim relatives and organizations. Sadly, so much of American moral and political culture has become so tolerant of everything except traditional Christianity and traditional values, that people seem to be rushing American to national suicide.

I guess our freedom of speech only pertains to you who speak out FOR leftist views…The guy who left the first comment needs to go back and take grammer..That would be “our election” not “are election:

My letter to Congressman King:
Mr. King,
I have lived in Iowa my entire life. I was born in Iowa County and I graduated from Iowa Wesleyan College. I take pride in Iowa and I believe that Iowans are some of the best of what the United States has to offer.
Your comments on March 7th regarding Barack Obama are a barrier to others outside of Iowa to understand this belief. As a congressman, I’m sure your intent was not to belittle the people of Iowa with your comments. I believe a full apology is the only way to clean the tarnish that you have left in the minds of others throughout the country and world of Iowans.
I do not share your belief that “terrorists win” with an Obama Presidency. I believe that the opposite shall occur. Obama has the opportunity to meet with other world leaders in order to put an end to radical religious forces. Just with his name, Obama, many radical Islamists may decide NOT to become a suicide bomber because the political leader of the United States has similar Islamic ancestry as him or her. We have a major opportunity here to put an end to radical elements and help others understand that we all come from the same basic elements – Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.
While you’re at it, please also increase your efforts and spending on education. Everyone has something to teach and to learn. If we increase the real experience of education, reasoning, and understanding we can turn short, misinformed sound bites into real communication with an educated and thoughtful electorate. I’m sure that would make your job much easier.

Well it looks like “balanced” ABC news pulled my previous comments. If you people want to see some picture of Obama supporters, check this out.
Yes, they do hate America.

It’s just a shame more people in Washington are not willing to tell the truth about this man called Obama. I salute you Rep. King.

I am heartened to see at least some people on here “get” it. Osama and Co want this war to continue and it’s McCain they will celebrate, not Obama.
Their plan is to bankrupt America and the West, a plan that is working quite well from where I’m standing. Al Qaida WANTS a McCain presidency, and is terrified of an Obama presidency, because they need the war to continue for the plan to succeed.
This is why we’ll see a video from Osama on Nov 1 claiming that an Obama presidency is a cause for celebration and proof that we can be “converted”. Because without McCain in the WH, Osama’s war is lost. Hell, Obama might even go after his hideouts in Afghanistan and Pakistan!!
I’m glad to see that at least some people see this…we’ll see if it’s enough on Nov 4th.
Rep King, President Bush, and John McCain: shame on you all, you all (especially McCain) should be intelligent enough to see that it’s your actions that will cause terrorists to celebrate. Obama is our only chance to get out of this mess.
Heck, he might even be able to pull off some kind of peace in the Middle East! THEN what would Al Qaida and the Carlyle Group and Haliburton do?!!
