Rep. King: Liberals are the 'Enemy'

February 19, 2010: So much for the spirit of bipartisanship. Appearing at CPAC, Rep. Steve King of Iowa presented the audience with a list of enemies they should be aware of: "They are liberals...they are Castroites, they're socialists...Gramsciites ring anybody's bell? Trotskyites, Maoists, Stalinists, Leninists, Marxists."

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).

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

I think this shows the Republican spirit of cooperation.
