How these people are elected officials is beyond me...

Feh, these are just early pot shots.

Well, if they're dancing in the streets it would be easier to kill them. I mean, since Obama seems to be a bit more inclined to actually go after terrorists than anyone from the "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority" party.

So what's John R. McCain's middle name, anyway?

valloned: How these people are elected officials is beyond me...

Assuming people elected to office are representative of the population, it seems inevitable to me.

itazurakko: So what's John R. McCain's middle name, anyway?

RINO?

But didn't Obama win Iowa?

Unright: itazurakko: So what's John R. McCain's middle name, anyway?

RINO?

Apparently not, he's the nominee.

Radical Muslims can't dance.

Wow. That's pretty nuts.

/His middle name's Arnold, by the way, which is of Germanic origin and means "eagle power."

//Hmmm. You know who else liked German eagle power?

itazurakko: So what's John R. McCain's middle name, anyway?

His middle name is Sidney.

/Really

You know, I kinda hopes this gets national press. Then the rest of the nation ccan point at this guy and laugh.

At least, I HOPE they'd point and laugh, instead of believing him.

Unright: itazurakko: So what's John R. McCain's middle name, anyway?

RINO?

Heh. Nice.

Go ahead. Keep that up, Republicans. You're doing great.

I'll be laughing as you descend into irrelevance after your staggering defeats in November. You're going to lose to "B. Hussein O.", and you damn well deserve to.

I'm sick and tired of the bigotry, hate, and fear- and war-mongering from the far right. I'll take high taxes, disjointness, and incompetence over the American right any day.

And to think I'm center-right in world politics ... *shakes head*

Anyone swayed by this sort of shiat, wasn't going to vote for Obama anyway.

What's wrong with people dancing in the streets anyway? What is this, Footloose?

As an Iowan, my embarrassment for the (empty) Western Third gets worse daily.

Obama won Eastern Iowa, and Des Moines (ie: where people live).

HAHA, that's what I came in here to say.

Digeratus: ...I'll take high taxes, disjointness, and incompetence over the American right any day....

Ouch, can't we compromise? We keep the goverment from raising taxes and don't allow them to speak for the next four years?

Digeratus:

Hey, if there's anything the last 7 years have shown us, it's that Democrats no longer have a monopoly on incompetence.

/One nation, woefully mismanaged, polarized, with burgers and flags for all.

I just saw this on the evening news. What a treasonous douche. The GOP and the House should censure him, and his constituents should be calling for his removal.

I don't think I've ever heard a more disgusting attack from an elected representative. Someone like Coulter or Limbaugh? Maybe. Never a US Congressman.

I'm ashamed for our nation.

And now for a more nuanced, well reasoned analysis of the situation and comments, I will refer to our fellow countrymen at freerepublic.com

Freepers! (new window)

I heard the news broadcast on CNN this morning and even before the state or name was mentioned, I knew it was Steve King. I hope he gets voted out of office in the fall. I hope Obama gets the nomination and whoever gets on the ballot on the Dems side will get the coat tail effect and knock this asshole down a few pegs.

Wait a farking minute here. All I hear on Fark is people talking about the "sheeple" that believe anything they're spoon fed by "Faux News" but you're all jumping on the bandwagon of somebody who is nothing but talk. Who exactly are the sheeple? Pot meet kettle.

bahaha! I love the guy who says that the future will be like red dawn. Hes probably masturbating at the thought. What the hell is wrong with these types of people? At what point in their lives did their brain decide to go for a vacation and not come back?

Rep. Steve King Douche.

MIguy: Wait a farking minute here. All I hear on Fark is people talking about the "sheeple" that believe anything they're spoon fed by "Faux News" but you're all jumping on the bandwagon of somebody who is nothing but talk. Who exactly are the sheeple? Pot meet kettle.

You know that by making that statement, you also made it a fallacy. The fact that your statement, one that is contradictory to all other statements, exists, means that not everything you hear is about sheeple and faux news.

Had you just said that to someone somewhere else, it would still be true.

His middle name does matter," King said. "It matters because they read a meaning into that."

From messages left behind by people on freerepublic.com

- King is right.

Obama does not understand the real nature of the threat of terrorism and he probably sympathizes with them.

Eradicate Islamics from our Presidency.

- Well, they will be dancing in the streets for many reasons: Obama says he'll release the terrorists held at GITMO; he's said America sucks and is a "bully" in international affairs; he's voted against electronic monitoring of terrorist communications; he's said publicly (November 2005) that it is "profiling" and a "violation" of foreigners' "civil liberties" to closely scrutinize visa applicants from Muslim countries; he laments that namesake Hussein is gone; he's promised immediate unconditional surrender to the terrorists in Iraq; he's the terrorist lawyers' favorite candidate and a recipient of millions in campaign contributions from the unpatriotic hacks defending the GITMO terrorists; he sleeps with a woman who hates this country and makes no secret of it; his "pastor" and "mentor" says "white America" got what we deserved on 911. For a foreign terrorist who hates America, what's NOT TO LIKE about Barack Hussein Obama?

- Of course Al-Quaeda will celebrate if Obama is elected. They know, as most Americans don't, that he is a crypto-Muslim and a covert traitor to America.

They will also celebrate if McCain is elected. Even if he fights the WoT in Iraq, he will leave our borders open so Muslim agents may enter our nation and attack our Homeland. What is the use of fighting in Iraq if our Homeland is decimated?

And there is no question they will celebrate if liberal HRC is elected because of her socialist pro-Muslim views.

The only answer for true patriots is to arm ourselves and move our families away from population centers that are likely to be attacked. Our futures will be like the movie 'Red Dawn,' but with the enemy Muslim invaders and traitors instead of Russians and Cubans. That movie proves a determined band of patriots can defeat a powerful enemy.

Is this real? I mean really?

That's it. I mean that's really it. Time to pack up the bags and move to Switzerland. I cannot even begin to fathom that people this ignorant are allowed to be involved in any decision of even moderate importance. Anyone who is so blatantly ignorant needs to be neutered and kept from breeding. I swear to god...I swear to effing god we need population control because if there are people this goddamned dumb, they need to keep their wretched idiocy from infecting any other children who may come about.

Not to mention that King is supposed to be an informed statesman who acts as a representative.

I think i'm going to go throw up.

FTA:
"His middle name does matter," King said. "It matters because they read a meaning into that."

The Illinois senator, born in Hawaii to a white Kansas woman and a Kenyan man, is a Christian and has said he has little connection to the Islamic religion, though he acknowledges he spent part of his childhood in largely Muslim Indonesia.

Maybe some one should tell this idiot, and other idiots who insist on thinking Obama is a Muslim that he is, in fact, a Christian.

I remember 9/11 quite vividly. I woke up in a chair in my grandfather's living room to find that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.

I do not remember terrorists dancing in the streets. I do remember, however, people that this fellow would regard as our enemies coming out in support of the victims and their families.

/Is DIAF too harsh?

I had a friend announce the other day she probably couldn't vote for Obama because he was raised a Muslim and they hate Christians.

I choked.

/Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh, you've done your work well.

Cue to the apology in 3...2...1...

It's especially ridiculous since Republicans are the ones who allowed 9/11 to happen in the first place. Then after two terms of a Republican in the White House, the Republicans say "we're still not safe from terror".

So basically, voting Republican is the next best thing to treason.

Further proof that the far right wing extremist Republicans in this country should be banned permanently. Despite the few ignorant idiots who still support their extremist policies, the rest of the civilized country realizes that they are the greatest threat to the American way of life. They should all be treated as traitors to the country and should be tried for treason.

It's difficult for me to take a congressman seriously when he sounds like he's standing in a puddle of his own urine.

As far as I'm concerned, the US is not in danger of being wiped out by a bunch of theocratic nutjobs hiding in caves on the other side of the world. Our own theocratic nutjobs are the bigger problem.

Seriously, why are Republicans such pussies?

If the Freepers had their way, Romney would have the nomination right now instead of that "libtard" McCain. We'd also be throwing anyone who doesn't pray to cardboard cutouts of our President into prison camps.

/you know who else wanted fanatical devotion from his citizens?

The only answer for true patriots is to arm ourselves and move our families away from population centers that are likely to be attacked. Our futures will be like the movie 'Red Dawn,' but with the enemy Muslim invaders and traitors instead of Russians and Cubans. That movie proves a determined band of patriots can defeat a powerful enemy.


Comedy gold that is.

/and "Independence Day' proves that alien invaders are vulnerable to computer viruses
//so we got that going for us

Steve King's greatest hits

2006:

Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa regularly accuses illegal immigrants of committing sex crimes against "eight little girls" a day as part of "a slow-motion terrorist attack."

One of the major political parties in Switzerland increased its vote share with cartoons of a black hand reaching into a pot that three white hands were reaching into. They followed this up with blatantly racist and xenophobic statements and policies.

This stuff happens everywhere.

Axolotl: Seriously, why are Republicans such pussies?

Because it's scare tactics like this that causes weak-minded Americans vote for them. I mean, how Bush wound up winning 2004 is STILL beyond me, and the rest of the world.

Republicans want to stay there, indefinitely.
Democrats want to end this war, period.

Didn't you know?

You know...if I were the McCain camp, I would be loving this. Some idiot makes a comment like this and McCain can scold the guy for it. He scores points with independents but pisses off the hard right. Of course, the hard right would never vote for a democrat anyway, so it's safe.

I think McCain has enough integrity that he wouldn't encourage this kind of behavior, but he knows how to play this kind of bigotry to his advantage.

InferiousX: Is this real? I mean really?

Most of the dumb-as-dirt freepers appear legit, but the "Red Dawn" guy simply has to be taking the piss.

So basically, voting Republican is the next best thing to treason.

Well, they have had 8 yrs to make us "safe from terror" and they seem to have failed..

Bah! This is idiocy. Free Republic is the haven of idiots who lead idiots. I am convinced those idiots will collapse into a black hole of idiocy that will wreck the country or die trying.

/What happened to the Ben Stein ID thread?

When I saw the byline "Des Moines," I knew it was Steve King.

Steve King is the most retarded, hate-spewing Congressman out there, and that's saying something.

I'm embarrassed to be in the same political party as morons like this dude. Though, I'm still pretty sure that anybody who's stupid enough to agree with the guy wouldn't be voting for Obama anyway.

Still, don't these idiots know that the only people they're hurting when they say bigoted stuff is their own party?
