IRA supporter chides Occupy for “violence”

[PETRUS]

Rep. Peter King rails against the protest movement

<snip>

King, of course, built his political career on his support for the IRA, a movement that used violence against civilians as a tactic for decades. The bombings carried out by the IRA make even the most militant “black bloc” occupiers look downright Gandhian.

Here’s a sample King quote from 1985: “If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the I.R.A. for it.” He stood by that statement as recently as two months ago.
