Rep. Peter King: This Hypocrite has a History of Supporting Terrorism

You know who this guy is?

CrazyKing

That’s Rep. Peter King, the wild-eyed Congressmen with fascist tendencies from New York’s 2nd District.  Peter King is one of the first characters you will see on television whenever someone has a firecracker in their underwear, ready to fear-monger the population into giving up more of their civil liberties in exchange for the perceived safety of a surveillance state.  He’s also the guy who just the other day called for legal action against journalist Glenn Greenwald for his role in publishing hero whistleblower Edward Snowden’s information.  Mr. King doesn’t stop there though.  He seems to believe his own party isn’t acting authoritarian enough.  He stated:

“Too many Republicans are becoming Michael Moores,” King bristled in reference to the liberal filmmaker.

Seriously man, are you off your meds?  The best part of this whole saga; however, is Peter King’s prior history of supporting terrorism.  Here’s what he had to say in 1982:

“We must pledge ourselves to support those brave men and women who this very moment are carrying forth the struggle against British imperialism in the streets of Belfast and Derry,” Mr. King told a pro-I.R.A. rally on Long Island, where he was serving as Nassau County comptroller, in 1982. Three years later he declared, “If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the I.R.A. for it.”

That sure sounds a lot like the justification of Al Qaeda terrorists for their actions doesn’t it?  To the 2nd District of New York I implore you.  Please, please get rid of this psycho.

In Liberty,
Michael Krieger

  1. Mike, thanks for highlighting this dangerous clown. My wish is that these latest outright lies directed at Glenn Greenwald lead to King’s removal from the chair of the Homeland Security committee, followed quickly with the dissolution of the Department of Homeland Security itself.

  2. I remember when this guy got the Homeland Security chair, I called that he was going to put together a Muslim-hunting committee right then. This scum of the shores of Long Island is crusty, foamy, and very hard to get rid of!
