Rep. King: Liberals are the 'Enemy'

[cullenstalin]

He knows about the Gramsciites :(

Didn't even watch it. Being as far to the left as you can get, I gave it a thumbs down just because the quotation in the title is a damn lie. So George Washington, John F. Kennedy, etc. etc. were our enemies huh?

[Francisco1950s]

I like this guy

[Squatchmichael]

I have find it despicable that an American leader calls fellow Americans his enemies, because they have different views on how to improve their nation and solve American problems. It is a divisive, and it's implicit hate-mongering: he convinces his audience that progressives are their enemies, to give them an excuse to justify any doubts they may have about the morality of hating their neighbors, co-workers, and fellow country men. This is ugly, and un-American. This is civil war talk.

[bikaren1980]

This guy is not sane. He's calling other Americans "The Enemy". Very much like during the McCarthy Witch-hunts. "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?"

He is a poor excuse for an American. He shames our great nation.

[IFlick]

I think this shows the Republican spirit of cooperation.

[DillonX]

Rep King is just another CORPORATE WHORE!!

[raustinf16]

YEAH!!

[howsthefam]

Its rants like his that inspire people to fly planes into buildings. He considers people who have different opinions to be his enemy! Rhetoric like this is so emptyheaded and dangerous.

[GendPzTrSchmidt]

@howsthefam Heretic ! You should be stoned !

[budkin]

We're all Americans but I'm the enemy huh? Ok, let's fight. I'd like to knock this motherfuckers teeth out of his smarmy fucking face.

The odd thing is that he supposedly represents Iowa which isn't that conservative of a state. Iowa is actually fairly liberal. Iowahas farm subsidies which are a carryover from New Deal progressivism. Iowa has gay marriage. Iowa is considering legalizing medical marijuana. Compared to the deep South, Iowa is a liberal haven.

Why is Rep King criticizing liberals when he represents many liberals? Most Iowans voted for Obama. In 2005, Iowans were 28% Republican and 30% Democrat.

[classicallady]

It's like Bachmann bitching about taxes whilst getting over 100k/year from subsidies

[MarmaladeINFP]

I watched a TYT video. Cenk Uygur was reporting on Obama trying to cut the budget but Republicans wouldn't let him cut farm subsidies. Despite Republican claims to the contrary, I see no evidence that they're for smaller government than Democrats. It's simply a difference in what purpose they want big government to serve.

[kaysandesses]

Of course the GOPers don't want to cut farm subsidies. Their strongest areas vote wise are the rural areas. The farm subsidies have turned into simply another form of corporate welfare. A "farmer" can still receive subsidies as long as he doesn't profit more than $750,000 a year. WTF! There is a limit on how much an individual "farmer" can receive but the story is that one "farmer" might have several different business entities, all of which can rake in many $100k each.

[MarmaladeINFP]

BTW I'm a liberal Iowan living in a liberal Iowa town. But I also spent a good portion of my life in the deep South and in the Bible Belt. There is a big difference between moderate Iowa and the truly conservative states.

[classicallady]

Bible belt is an effing cancer in this country.Only brings ignorance and bestiality.

[bbbbmer]

My response to Rep. King: BRING IT, BITCH!

[terpis]

Welcome their hatred.

Fitting somehow that this vile deathsucker's district includes "Sioux Falls".

The comment above about farm subsidies is dead-on..and if you look at Western Iowa's city gummint econ development strategies, you fing tax-increment financing, right-to-work laws and ultra-low corporate taxation. All these are typical tools for off loading business costs onto workers' backs...watcha call yer CCPP (Communize the Costs, Privatize the Profits).

[leecooker]

Why don't you cry to Castro about your lavish Farm subsidies, pal? There ain't a farmer in Iowa that could make it through the year without 'em.

You betcha.

[Francebrasil]

I think farm subsidies paid to this guy's state should be cut-off, and see this whiner scream about government socialistic hand outs being denied!!!!! LOL
