Rep. Peter King (R-NY) says media should be 'shot' over Rove focus

[Shoeempress]

"And Joe Wilson has no right to complain. And I think people like Tim Russert and the others, who gave this guy such a free ride and all the media, they're the ones to be shot, not Karl Rove. Listen, maybe Karl Rove was not perfect. We live in an imperfect world. And I give him credit for having the guts."

2. But they're not Fascists!

Just because they want to kill people to suppress versions of facts and events contrary to their own preferred version.

3. King is such as ashole....

every time I see his stupid face on one of several talk shows I immediately change the station. He's about as articulate as bush without the personality.

[Roland99]

4. My response

Dear Congressman King.


I am quite disgusted by your comments re: the media should be "shot" over their focus on Karl Rove. Do you have any working synapses in your brain? It appears you don't.

It's disgusting rhetoric like you uttered today that are one of the worst symptoms of the state of politics in America today.

You, sir, must issue a full retractment and apology to everyone in the media and immediately stand behind Fitzgerald and the investigation to find out who all of the criminals are and sentence them according to the severity of their crimes.

Or, does "honesty and integrity" mean nothing to you?

[joanne]

5. Have to give Joe Scarborough credit

for asking a decent question for a change.

Now WHERE is the media outrage? We sure heard it when Hillary compared * to Alfred E Newman (with apologies to poor Alfred)

[SteppingRazor]

6. Eh, the media's used to it...

Everyone thinks journalists should be shot. We're becoming worse than lawyers! :cry:

[KharmaTrain]

7. Is There A Constituent In The House????

Pete's responded to emails in the past. And they're quite amusing. I'd like to see his neandertal rantings on this tar baby.

What makes this slime a bigger POS than he already is, is how he actually was a moderate at one time. He actually was one of the few Clinton defenders. Then I guess Tommy The Hammer gave him a nice big check and since then he's been a pitbull for the far right.

Does this dude represent NYC or the suburbs? He definitely needs to be replaced next November.

[Renew Deal]

12. I am one

unfortunatly. He covers half of Nassau and a part of Suffolk. Email away.

[KharmaTrain]

17. Didn't You Email Him Once?

Nassau says it all...Country Club Repugnicans.

Is there anyone trying to organize to run against him? Truth be known, I'd rather help that person.

Cheers...

[Renew Deal]

19. I have had correspondence with him.

[KharmaTrain]

21. Go Get Him...LOL

I remember one Email where he went totally ballistic. Put that heavy Bronx accent on him...put him in a pinstripe suit and the Sopranos wouldn't need to cast for next season. LOL.

[mattclearing]

8. Wasn't he the one who bragged about the election being in the bag?

Dumb as a stump, that one.

[Carla in Ca]

10. I recall that

It is on tape or was it in F9/11.

[mattclearing]

16. Nah, not in F 9/11.

It was an election night party at the White House.

He looked drunk and I think Rove had to grab him before the cocky bastard could spill the beans.

[halobeam]

9. Let me tell ya something,

this King bastard of Long Island is my rep. He is some nasty cold hearted VACANT individual. One time, my husband went to his office, begged him for help re: I was so sick, hospital wouldn't take me in unless we paid past balance due (7,000) first. He said, sorry can't help ya. Walked away. I'm not kidding. He couldn't have cared less. I've lived here my whole life, so much for community, etc, and all that bullshit that they spew out of their lying mouths.

wow, I really don't like this guy. These rats are all over this country. I will enjoy watching him twist on this one and SOON.

[garybeck]

11. King is the one who was caught on video tape admitting

that they were going to steal the election.

google something like "Peter King we'll take care of the counting" and you'll find the video.

the direct quote, from summer 2003 was:

"the election is over. we won. it's all over but the counting, and we'll take care of the counting."

my hope is some day a grand jury will be asking him exactly what he meant by that.

[Renew Deal]

13. Send the emails.

Let them rain in. He deserves some attention.

[quiet.american]

14. Why are they spinning this as Rove having "guts"?

Cowards, the lot of them.

If Rove had "guts," why did it take tons of our taxpayer dollars, two years and a grand jury to force him to own up to what he had the "guts" to do?

Guts to do what? Sneak around to attempt to discredit an honest man by going after his wife? Despicable!

[frictionlessO]

15. I really wish these fuckers would quit pulling their punches and open

up the camps or mass graves or whatever they had planned for us.

I've got my guns Im ready, Ive given up my vows of pacifism... I've brushed up on close quarters combat techniques.

Im tired of pussy footing around with these baracuda abortions.

Yep just encourage them to shot journos and judges.. but whats that you moderates say??? "Oh they dont really mean it and we can work with them and why do you have to make us look bad"? To you I say good luck with that.

Me, Im getting used to the idea that if these officials give the word a hundred freepers will be walking down my street with burning crosses and shotguns and dogs. I will do my best to take as many down as I can before they get to the moderates.

[Sparkman]

25. woa there big fella, take deep breaths and stand down....for now.

Stress is not good, until you need the adrenalin and have an outlet.

Consider this. Ghandi defeated the British Empire, occupying they're country for over 100 years, without a shot fired. thousand were imprisioned on false charges, sedition. But in just a few years, Ghandi SHAMED THE BRITS INTO LEAVING. And leaving all that the Brits did there to develope the place.
Now India is the largest democracy, 600 million people. It's not a pretty place, women are badly treated in the lower castes, but they have autonomy and that all can happen here.

We can out the repubs with superior ethics and tactics that involve non violent genius methods. But it takes time and patience, which is an age old wisdom preached by all the righteous types.

just a thought.

[frictionlessO]

27. Ya know... you may be right.... I dunno.

I am just so over the edge already with the constant threats, the absolute nastyness of these people.

I am just heart broken at Americas downfall, I would have never ever copped this attitude of killing off my political opposites. Yet they insist that we are terrorist supporters, their leaders threaten judges and press with physical violence... I mean you know the list.

I do have my weapons but I'd just assume as to do away with them.

[Sparkman]

33. The SOP of the neocons is ruthless ends-justify-the-means, not our forte.

Not yet. Reminds me of the battered wife analagy from the '40s.
She bides her time, and when the old boy's drunk & passed out, he gets rolled up in the sheets, and beat to shit with a high-heeled shoe. TSTB.

[Renew Deal]

22. kick

:kick:

[Sparkman]

23. Already called him, they claimed ignorance about the shooting, but....

when I said Rove admitted outing Wilson's wife, OOOHHH baby, "You're jumping to conclusions"!! Rove's attourney admitted, that Rove talked to Cooper and said "Wilson's wife sent him to Niger". Who else could this mean??? AND, who in the government can send AMBASADORS overseas??
ROVES GUILTY OF TREASON. A TRAITOR TO THE U.S.A. or so help me God, I'm imbecilic.

24. 202-224-3121 U.S. Congressional switchboard, very handy.

[journalist3072]

26. I guess I should be surprised by this b@stard....

But I'm not. Nothing he says really shocks me anymore.

Anyone remember him from Alexandra Polosi's film, talking about the election, saying "It's all over but the counting, and we'll take care of the counting."

[SammyWinstonJack]

28. Isn't he the one caught on tape as saying re: "election" '04

"We won, it's all over but the counting and we'll take care of the counting." ???

[Norquist Nemesis]

31. Yep! That's the one!

Good catch!

[morgan2]

29. im so proud of my congressman

Peter King is one of the most idiotic Bush robots I have seen in our government. I recall one point, his campaign point was that he agrees with George Bush on everything.

[Norquist Nemesis]

32. Even when Bush flip-flops?

They must have plugged him in and recharged him before hauling him out to call for assassinations on journalists.

[insane_cratic_gal]

30. It was ok to show the DRESS

over and over And discuss a man's personal infidelity, and try and persecute him for perjury, push the bounds of impeaching him.

That's all perfectly ok.

What is aggravating me, if it were a Democrat that outed Plame, they'd be in jail serving a life sentence! The Press and all of these other assholes would be cheering how justice was served.
