WTF is wrong with Steve King?......

[one_voice]

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), well known for his incendiary comments, has done it again.

During an appearance on G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show this morning to discuss Arizona’s immigration law, King suggested President Barack Obama was a racist and “favors the black person” while carrying out his presidential duties.

King also said that he was “offended” by both Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder.

“When you look at this administration, I'm offended by Eric Holder and the president also, their posture. It looks like Eric Holder said that white people in America are cowards when it comes to race,” said King. “And I don't know what the basis of that is but I'm not a coward when it comes to that and I'm happy to talk about these things and I think we should.”

King added: “But the president has demonstrated that he has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race - on the side that favors the black person.”

How does he get away with saying this kind of crap? And they wonder why they're called racists. :argh:

1. he needs his racist ass kicked, and kicked good

[Dennis Donovan]

2. The much-easier question to answer is...

3. Liddy is still alive?

I thought he was long gone.

10. yeah he is now pedaling gold on TV commercials n/t

[depakid]

4. What's wrong is that people elect him.

[MadMaddie]

5. These kind of people feel emboldened by the tea party and the

Rand Pauls of the world. They cannot fathom two black men in more powerful positions than they are. They are sick bastards!

6. In a sane democracy people like that would be voted/kicked out of office rapidly

But instead we have to put up with nutjobs like Steve King being given legitimacy because idiots continue to vote for them. Just like how we have to put up with Sessions calling Sotomayor a racist, when Session himself was rejected by the very judicial committee he leads as minority leader for himself being a racist with a history of using his positions to persecute black people in his state.

7. He's nuts. nt

[Jennicut]

8. He is crazy, racist and a complete ahole.

No other explanation needed.

9. I doubt KIng has any problem

with favoring white people. That's the whole problem with idiots like King; it's their sense of white entitlement - the idea that if a minority somehow succeeds it has to be because of some unfair treatment of the white guy.

11. yap...they blame it on quota & affirmative action

when a minority person succeeds.

12. A majority of his district's voters said he represents them. We elect who we are.
