Steve King: ‘I Reject McCain’s Disavowal’ Of Me
Steve King: ‘I Reject McCain’s Disavowal’ Of Me
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told a local Iowa radio station recently that al Qaeda would be “dancing in the middle of the streets” if Barack Obama were elected President “because of his middle name.”
In an interview with Fox News on Saturday night, King defiantly stood by his comments, arguing that we “should be looking at” Obama’s middle name — Hussein — because Middle East terrorists will infer something in that name:
My point is that first he declares defeat, they declare victory, they dance in the streets, and there is an implication that the identity that they would infer in that name is different in the rest of the world than it is in the United States. … What I’m pointing out is that our enemies will view this differently, and I think that’s something we should be looking at.
McCain spokesman Brooke Buchanan told Fox News that McCain “doesn’t agree with King’s comments,” adding, “He intends to run a respectful race and keep it about the issues.”
Fox host Geraldo Rivera informed King that “Senator McCain has apparently disavowed your remarks.” King responded, “Well, I reject his disavowal,” adding, “And I reject the Democrat webpages that call me the names that they have.” Watch it:
In the interview, King addressed his critics, challenging them to “point to the quote that I have said that offends them.” Here’s a list of quotes, Rep. King. Take your pick.

King, you are an absolute fu(king idiot. Your last name brings cheers for the English…I think you need to go back to the homeland.

March 9th, 2008 at 12:34 amOh, yeah, King? Well, I repudiate your rejection of McCain’s disavowal. Pissant!
March 9th, 2008 at 12:34 amGee, and I thought the late King Hussein of Jordan was a dear friend of the US. (So much so that he married one of its citizens.)
And George Walker Bush was named after someone who helped fund the Nazi war machine. There, I said it and I’m glad.

March 9th, 2008 at 12:41 amWhat really is amazing is that the RW types can say pretty much anything and bash anyone - but they’re sissies when some blog has user comments that are less than flattering. One of the things I like about TP (as well as Media Matters) is that there are links to video or audio - so these a-holes are tripped up by their own words.
As for his comments - geez, that’s so 16th century. I’d offer to buy him a brain cell or two, but I’m fresh out of cash - Bush spent it all in Iraq.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:43 amNotice the thread just before this one? The one talking about a Dem winning Denny Hastert’s old Illinois seat in a special election in what was previously considered a safe Repub district?
Well Steve King — it’s because of asswipes like you that Hastert’s seat is now in Dems hands. And the Repub losses will continue to pile up right up through the next election. A majority of Americans are sick of the hate-mongering, war-mongering, fear-mongering right wing jackasses like Steve King who basically have turned the Republican party into the modern-day poster child for neo-fascism.
Keep running your idiotic mouth Steve. Everytime you open it a few more moderate Repubs and Independents abandon you, your party and and your intellectually and morally bankrupt conservative ideology.
Just saying . . .
March 9th, 2008 at 12:47 amWayne: Funny how they don’t talk about Jordan - or Bush’s GrandPa. I wonder why they are so afraid of Sen. Obama - is it like perhaps he’d be a real President - not the lame thing that’s taking up space in the WH now? :)
Funny thing - my dad who’ll be 75 this year - and a Republican - will be voting for Obama this year. Go figure! (and Go Dad!) :)

Two years ago, I managed to convince a lifelong Republican co-worker on her mid-fifites not to vote for Republicans that time, and she didn’t for the first time in her life. I don’t think I need to try very hard to convince her that McCain shouldn’t be her first choice either. She’s already aware that he wants to continue the war ans she doesn’t. Now I’ve got to find another conservative to turn for this election.
March 9th, 2008 at 12:51 amWayne: Cool! It’s amazing that some of those “old dogs” will learn new tricks. That Dad is supportive of Obama is really a big move tho - but he can’t vote in the primary (Penna) because he’s registered Republican. Now, if I can only convince my younger sister to NOT vote Republican….!
Ugh! Like I said - I just can’t believe these people can “mouth off” like they do and get a pass - yet let just ONE Democrat mis-speak - and it hounds them…
March 9th, 2008 at 12:57 am“Well, I reject his disavowal”
This man sounds like the uninvited guest who won’t leave, even though the party host has already made his wishes clear.
Why do people keep voting half-wits like this one into office?
March 9th, 2008 at 1:01 amThis guy demonstrates how intolerant right wingers are to diversity in America. Remember back in 2004, when King said the events of the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse “amounts to hazing.â€

March 9th, 2008 at 1:36 am“The identity that they would infer in that name is different in the rest of the world than it is in America”
I think he got that backwards. People like him in this country equate it to Sadaam. Correct me if i’m wrong but i was under the impression that it meant “handsome”
Hes implying that they would relate our president’s middle name to Sadaam but it seems to me that only neo-cons would do that
March 9th, 2008 at 1:43 amYes, let’s look at Obama’s middle name. Doing so reminds me of two things right off the bat:
March 9th, 2008 at 1:51 am1. The Iraq war was based on nothing but lies.
2. Osama is still free.
You should be looking at that, Mr. King.
.
We should be looking at the bigot tarred and feathered for him IMPLYING that HUSSEIN means jack to radical Islamists. It means as much as Benjamin, as in Benjamin Franklin, or Abizaid, as in Gen. John Abizaid, or Omar, as in Omar Bradley, or Issa as in Congressman Darrell Issa of California, or Shalala as in Donna Shalala or maybe Kareem Abdul Jabbar, or say John Adams or maybe James Madison, James Monroe and James Polk.
Such blatant racism can not and never should be overlooked.

March 9th, 2008 at 3:32 amHussein means “handsome one” and is universally used for that reason. What kind of moron would think that it has any more meaning than what it has?
March 9th, 2008 at 3:35 amAnd so the Right Wing Smear on Obama begins? We’ll likely hear a lot of this in thegeneral.
March 9th, 2008 at 3:45 amIf anyone thinks that a black man named Hussein with a muslim past is going to be elected to the presidency, they are fools, idiots or delusional.

Yes and that’s why Obama will win.
March 9th, 2008 at 5:22 amI am sorry to say this but I think King is right. Al Qaeda will be happy about Obama. He just said it like it is. I’ve been to the Muslim world and the fact that Obamas dad was Muslim will make them feel they are one step closer to their goal of converting America to Islam.
If any of you think this is a joke, I encourage you to visit an Arab country sometime to gauge what is coming at America. We are not in more trouble because of Iraq, we are in less because Al Qaeda is playing defense and doesn’t have much time for offense.
I think most of us Americans are just ignorant about fundamental Islamic ideology. Conversion is the name of the game people. And Obama gets them one step closer because to them Obama is a Muslim who has “lost” his fathers way. But they believe he will find it again.
Talk to some Muslim Arabs and they will give it to you straight. None of the Politically Correct stuff.
March 9th, 2008 at 6:09 amMaybe King can be the fear mongerer to explain to the world how a very small Sunni minority (al Quada) will “take over” a very Shiite majority in Iraq. George Bush and John McCain can’t explain. One would think by now after several years of sending $2 billion per week to Baghdad there would be enough “progress” that US soldiers should be coming home.

Do you know how many americans are killed by non-muslims every year? Have any stats? Would you be surprised to learn that the average american is exponentially more likely to have his life ended by one of his fellow americans than he is by one of them ahrab musleem foreegners?
March 9th, 2008 at 7:35 amDear Rep. “Alpha Jackass” King,
I thought Barrack Obama and John McLame were related to each other. A vote for Hussein is a vote for McLame’s relative right?
BTW, you are a racist, sh|thead moron just like the others said on the “series of tubes.” You can believe that.

You sound very afraid of a small group of terrorists that has no Navy or Air Force, and whose only success depends on the incompetence of Republicans. That’s why McCain will lose; we’ve already seen that Republicans are incapable of defending the USA. Your fearmongering will only work on the braindead 19% that still fellate the Deserter-In-Chief, like you.
March 9th, 2008 at 8:43 amI think it is hilarious that McCain is trying to distance himself from the racists, religious nuts, misogynists, and homophobes in the republican party. Sorry McCain – that leaves just the total morons and the wealthy.

March 9th, 2008 at 9:27 amlol, no better way to start my day than reading the hysterical (both literally and figuratively) post of neoclowns. Hey bert, you have your tin foil hat on while posting?
March 9th, 2008 at 9:28 amEnemies, enemies enemies and they’re out there aren’t they. Let’s just ask the question for argument’s sake, how many enemies did our draft-dodging, lying, kidnapping and torturing president create? No really, how many wars are we going to have fight soon and in the future because of Bush’s testosterone and his big mouth. The way I look at it, guys like King, they are a pox on the forces for peace and diplomacy. Ill bet he, like our “president” never risked his life and limb on a battlefield, yet he’s so combative behind the desk. He talks of enemies like they are folks he’s going to fight…no, they are folks our 17 and 18 year olds are going to have to fight. Here’s a tip dummy, this is why diplomacy is so important. Like Bush and Cheney, both draft-dodgers, it’s always the loud mouths who talk the talk but have no idea what it means to walk the walk. And they don’t care if our troops are sent to a boondoggle or not. Hell, their kids don’t have to fight and die or come home without limbs or serious mental health problems. He uses the name Hussein like it’s the first time he’ seen an American with that middle name. Blind to the fact that there is a large Muslim-American, yes Muslim-American population in America, he uses the name Hussein in a very demeaning and insulting way. Who would pay attention to this hatemonger? I suggest, since he is religiophobic, he consult Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution. And yes, he’s probably unaware since he has his head up his butt, he appears to be a pushing the line on racism. I suggest that he reads the fourteenth amendment…equal protection under the law. Dude, get a life!

March 9th, 2008 at 10:45 amour enemies will view this differently, and I think that’s something we should be looking at.
So King advocates selecting candidates based on what other nations think of them and us? Isn’t that what they accused Democrats of doing when they oppose the war?
Which is it? When is it okay to choose our path based on what others think of us? I’m so confused.
Much like our friends Frank and Bert, who obviously got the unofficial RNC troll memo that Obama has a “muslim background” but didn’t get the official RNC memo that Obama belongs to a church that is “black separatist” Christian. Which smear to go with?
It is a troll quandry.

March 9th, 2008 at 10:58 amBERT: this is your brain on fear and ignorance. Not a pretty picture, but a true reflection on why America is so weak and immoral now. It’s because you rightwing fools have no regard for the Constitution or the principles of freedom that we are now rapidly becoming ahtird-world country. All you have shown us is that Republicans are incapable of defending the USA, incapable of governing, and undeserving of public office or respect. Watch while Democrats fix, strentgthen and restore our country to respect in the world.

You know, if you had at least attempted to make an intelligent argument either defending King or attacking Obama, you might have earned enough respect to have gotten an intelligent rebuttal in response.
However, your post is merely laughable. Not only are you pathetically parroting debunked wingnut talking points, but you have enough spelling errors that you have exposed yourself as another child left behind.
Instead of going with the fling-poop-everywhere approach, why don’t you make an actual case for supporting King’s position? One that can be taken seriously? And supported by links or other evidence? I realize that’s a tall order for you.

Comment by stewarjt — March 9, 2008 @ 11:23 am
King is representative of the general desperation shown by the warmongers of late. Ramping up the fear is getting tougher and tougher to an America that’s becoming increasingly immune to their tactics.
We’ve been told to be afraid of terrorists making telephone calls that aren’t being listened in on. We’ve been told that terrorists would be marching down Main Street USA if we weren’t fighting them “over there”. We’ve been told to be afraid of other countries getting nuclear weapons (be afraid of Iran, who isn’t getting them, but don’t worry about North Korea, who has). We’ve been told that any time we don’t accept unquestioningly the decisions of our leaders to take away our constitutional rights, we are “emboldening the enemy.”
And now, what’s the dire consequence of electing Obama? Why, Al-Qaeda might “dance in the streets”! Um…does King know that our actions have already upped Al-Qaeda’s recruiting beyond their wildest dreams and they already have plenty to dance about?
March 9th, 2008 at 11:42 amI can’t take this whackiness any longer. How in the hell did he ever get elected? I assume he was elected with corporate crony dollars and propaganda? In exchange for selling America & Earth to corporate profit. I will try to find out where his campaign dollars come from.

Look at the the Larry Craig fiasco (I’m not leaving). Look at Tom DeLay (indicted and still walking around) and Bush (I’ll veto any damn thing I want)
The only way King is going to get blowback for his comment is to be hung in the press and they don’t seem to give a rats ass.

OK, I see where you’re coming from now. You’re an anti-abortion zealot. This isn’t about King or about Al-Qaeda or about terrorists dancing in the streets. You just don’t like Obama because he doesn’t share your extremist view about “protecting the unborn”. In other words, if he didn’t have a name you could rail against, you would find something else about him.
I won’t debate you on abortion here for two reasons — 1) it would take the thread off-topic, and 2) you don’t sound like you’re all that rational. I will call you on one point, however — Scott Peterson in on death row for the murder of his wife Laci. Not the murder of his unborn son. He was convicted of second-degree murder for that. And as far as the other “host of murderers” on death row for killing unborn babies, I doubt they exist.
But if you would like to make your case against abortion, by all means do so. Just not here, since this isn’t an abortion thread.
March 9th, 2008 at 11:55 am#34 etc: If there were any responses in the mid east due to the election of Obama (for whatever reason) odds are the responses would be to lessen the animosity that GWB hath grown so mightily with his wanton and poorly executed invasion of Iraq for oil. This would be a good thing wouldn’t it?
And while we’re on the topic…how do you win a “war” against minds with bombs? No logic there either. Individuals, not a country, attacked the US on 911. And NONE of these individuals were from Iraq. Sheesh.

He’s just an ignorant troll who’s run out of arrows in his quiver to defend the racist and xenophobic King, so he turns to attacking Obama and, when that failed miserably, to a pathetic attempt to whip up an abortion controversy as a means to divert the thread.

Sorry Mr. King, but Al Qaeda is smarter than you are. They know that a middle name is nothing other than that, a middle name. They are also smart enough to get around our spying on them by using disposable cell phones.
This person needs to be condemned on the floor of the House for his hate speech. Because that’s exactly what this is, hate speech.

All the Republicans I know (who are still Republicans) are voting for Obama. My boss was going to vote for Hillary until she started her scorched earth Rovian campaign. He’s now firmly in Obama’s camp.
I put the “who are still Republican” in the above paragraph because I know several people who were once Republican and now have registered as Democrats. The party they once supported is dead to them.

New right wing troll spewing garbage. Muslims could care less that Obama’s middle name is “Hussein” and they know full well that Obama is not a Muslim.
What showed me that this one was a troll this BS:
We are not in more trouble because of Iraq, we are in less because Al Qaeda is playing defense and doesn’t have much time for offense.
Only a right wing troll would think that we are better off when it comes to AQ. Everyone except for this dim bulb troll knows that AQ in Iraq has nothing to do with the real AQ. The real AQ are in a safe haven in Pakistan thanks to Musharruf and Bush. They are free to grow their numbers and plot to kill people because they have been allowed to live freely and unencumbered in Pakistan.
Nice try troll, but it better go get some new talking points. These were way too easy to debunk. I guess they have sent in the third string.

Well, according to most of the polls that have been taken, I guess that the people in this ocuntry are fools, idiots or delusional. They all have Obama beating McCain handily. And this is before the Democratic party will introduce the people of this country to who John McCain really is. Right now they think that he is this “maverick” who can think for himself. Once they realize that the “maverick” died long ago, Obama will cream McCain.

March 9th, 2008 at 12:42 pmThat’s right.

In the polls they might say the PC thing, but when they’re actually voting, they’ll vote for the Christian guy.
As usual, the troll that calls itself Francine is posting drivel. Perhaps it can tell us what views McCain has that are “liberal”. Any liberal views he held went into the crapper when he started kissing up to the neoCONS.
And, it appears that this idiot troll is unaware that Obama is a Christian and has been most of his life. Actually I think it knows that Obama is a Christian, it just thinks that calling him a Muslim will somehow tarnish Obama. Fortunately most people in this country (or at least the people who might vote for him) know full well that Obama is not a Muslim.
Perhaps this idiot troll can tell us what McCain did to become a “war hero”. He graduated fifth from the bottom of his class at Annapolis. He crashed 4 planes while he was learning to fly. He became an officer on his name only. And then he crashed is plane in Vietnam and was captured. What in that makes him a “war hero”?

Setting aside, for the moment, the issue of this post’s complete gibberish and incomprehensibility, I think Bert should be reminded that when Associate Justice Clarence Thomas was undergoing, what was technically known as, “Confirmation Hearings” (but which he lovingly referred to as “a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks”), he was asked by Sen Patrick Leahy if a fetus had any rights under the constitution. And Judge Thomas correctly answered, “No.”

I think Bert is a disgrace and embarrassment to all trolls. If I were a troll I would disavow Bert.

I just re-registered with a new e-mail address. Go to gmail or hotmail and get a new e-mail address. Then use it to sign up again. That’s how the trolls come back again and again thanks to the fact that TP won’t ban them by their IP addresses. I still have my old registration if I want to switch back.

Funny how wingnut morons like Bert love to wax poetically about saving the unborn. What’s not funny is the moment that child is out of the womb and has it’s umbilical cord cut, Bert and his fellow Xtian Soldats couldn’t give a rat’s ass about that child’s ongoing welfare and well-being. To Bert and his ilk once that child is sucking oxygen, their whole attitude changes to one of — bon voyage kiddo!; have a nice life — if you or your parents can afford it!; don’t come begging to us for help, you’re on your own now!; and no government handouts for you either — not with my tax dollars!; what’s that?–you want financial assistance with education, medical care and old age care?–to hell with you, go get a job!
To Bert and the rest of the zombie-brain Xtian Soldats, their tireless crusade to “save the unborn” is the zenith of hypocrisy and truly exposes their movement for the hateful, immoral fraud it is.

How true, they love the fetus and hate the child. The sad thing is that most women who make the gut-wrenching choice to have an abortion do so because they can’t afford to have another child. They probably can’t afford to take care of the children they already have. This is, in a large part, thanks to Bush and his Republican brethren. And things are going to get worse, much worse.
I know a couple who are undergoing this gut-wrenching decision right now. They already have two children and the husband (the primary bread winner in the family) has just lost his job due to his company downsizing. So here they are, parents of two lovely children who they are going to have a hard time supporting. His job is in an industry that is being shipped over seas at a rapid rate (he’s a programmer) and the chances of his finding another job at the pay he was making are not good. She has not worked for 10 years since they wanted her to stay home and take care of the kids. So, she will not be much help in bringing in an income any time soon. So, what is this couple to do? Bring a child into this world that will tip them over the edge financially? The righties would say “yes”, but they would also say “don’t look to the government for hand-outs, pull yourself up by your bootstraps”. They don’t care that Bush & Company have ruined our economy and there are no jobs for either of them out there. I feel for my friends because I know they have a very tough decision to make.

March 9th, 2008 at 1:41 pmThis is perfect for McSame…a surrogate spouts nasty lies about Obama and John can take the high road and look good by disavowing these statements….
It’s a win-win situation for him…

It’s the risk you take when you’re committed to listening to all points of view.
March 9th, 2008 at 2:20 pmYou’re right, R.Hussein WonderLlama.
Who would ever believe us re: “the Righty mind”, if we didn’t have proof, in the form of their own words, recorded here?
March 9th, 2008 at 2:52 pmNonetheless, I’m never going to be able to resist firing off some snarky ordnance every time I see the coward yellow of their monkey eyes.

No reason for you to resist. Part of the joy of listening to all points of view is that we get to ridicule the ones that deserve to be ridiculed.
Plus there’s the bonus that people can hear what right-wingers actually say.
