Republican Congressman King: Terrorists Will "Dance In the Streets" With Obama Victory

Joe C,

you don't get it. Osama and Co. don't want to just wage war for it's own sake. THEY WANT TO DECLARE VICTORY. If Obama wins the election, and he prematurely pulls troops out of Iraq as he has pledged to do, that will be the victory Osama wants.

I am heartened to see at least some people on here "get" it. Osama and Co want this war to continue and it's McCain they will celebrate, not Obama.

Their plan is to bankrupt America and the West, a plan that is working quite well from where I'm standing. Al Qaida WANTS a McCain presidency, and is terrified of an Obama presidency, because they need the war to continue for the plan to succeed.

This is why we'll see a video from Osama on Nov 1 claiming that an Obama presidency is a cause for celebration and proof that we can be "converted". Because without McCain in the WH, Osama's war is lost. Hell, Obama might even go after his hideouts in Afghanistan and Pakistan!!

I'm glad to see that at least some people see this...we'll see if it's enough on Nov 4th.

Rep King, President Bush, and John McCain: shame on you all, you all (especially McCain) should be intelligent enough to see that it's your actions that will cause terrorists to celebrate. Obama is our only chance to get out of this mess.

Heck, he might even be able to pull off some kind of peace in the Middle East! THEN what would Al Qaida and the Carlyle Group and Haliburton do?!!

Jillibean - wake up and smell the coffee. The terrorist state of mind was the same as those in Vietnam, kill enough soldiers and the weak kneed Americans will turn and run tail. If you cannot stand behind the troops, then feel free to stand in front of them. Also throwing money at a broken system doesn't do anything. How many states promised millions of dollars in gambling revenues to education if they allowed gambling and they are crying for more money still. Fix your local system first, then maybe you should get more money.

It's just a shame more people in Washington are not willing to tell the truth about this man called Obama. I salute you Rep. King.

Now it looks like "balanced" ABC news pulled my link again. What's the matter ABC? Are you folks really scared of Barack Milhouse Obama getting negative exposure? If you people want to see some pictures of Obama supporters, check this out.

Yes, they do hate America.

What's the matter ABC? Why don't you just man up and tell us all what you really think? Why do you folks have to be cowards and hide under the mantle of impartiality?

Well it looks like "balanced" ABC news pulled my previous comments. If you people want to see some picture of Obama supporters, check this out.

Yes, they do hate America.

"if people truly love their children and care about the troops, then they already know not to support mccain over either obama or the candidate who will be the best President that America needs, Senator Hillary Clinton"

if people REALLY supported the troops, they would look at who the active military is supporting the most. Number One is Ron Paul. Number Two is Barack Obama. Explain to me how voting for Hillary Clinton is supporting the troops??? Ask the troops who they would like as their commander in chief before you start spreading propaganda.

My letter to Congressman King:
Mr. King,

I have lived in Iowa my entire life. I was born in Iowa County and I graduated from Iowa Wesleyan College. I take pride in Iowa and I believe that Iowans are some of the best of what the United States has to offer.

Your comments on March 7th regarding Barack Obama are a barrier to others outside of Iowa to understand this belief. As a congressman, I’m sure your intent was not to belittle the people of Iowa with your comments. I believe a full apology is the only way to clean the tarnish that you have left in the minds of others throughout the country and world of Iowans.

I do not share your belief that “terrorists win” with an Obama Presidency. I believe that the opposite shall occur. Obama has the opportunity to meet with other world leaders in order to put an end to radical religious forces. Just with his name, Obama, many radical Islamists may decide NOT to become a suicide bomber because the political leader of the United States has similar Islamic ancestry as him or her. We have a major opportunity here to put an end to radical elements and help others understand that we all come from the same basic elements – Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

While you’re at it, please also increase your efforts and spending on education. Everyone has something to teach and to learn. If we increase the real experience of education, reasoning, and understanding we can turn short, misinformed sound bites into real communication with an educated and thoughtful electorate. I’m sure that would make your job much easier.

I agree with Greg Neubeck's comment. I've been following Bill and Hillary Clinton's criminal and traitorous careers for many years now.I wonder how people could possibly support and vote for them. Seeing Hillary Clinton on TV with people in the background waving their Hillary signs and jumping up and down screaming for her makes me wonder how our culture has changed.We have lost any sense of accountibility and responsibility in this country. Bill and Hillary Clinton should be in prison. If it would be normal, hardworking folks like us who did things that Bill and Hillary did, we would be in prison. Bill and Hillary Clinton are liars, theives, extortionists and murderers who want to rip off every hard working person for their socialist agenda. People, WAKE UP! We need to take our country back before it is to late. A vote for Hillary or Obama, is a vote for communism.

I guess our freedom of speech only pertains to you who speak out FOR leftist views...The guy who left the first comment needs to go back and take grammer..That would be "our election" not "are election:

I believe this comment is irrational and shows great stupidity on his part. First of all tell me what Terrorist have to do with are presidential election, tell me what these 3rd world countries like iran, iraq have to do with America. Where they set roadside bombs down were citizen are afraid. Tell me what this barbianism has to do with my Presidential Canditate Obama.

Congressman Steve King is shedding some truth on an American culture that has lost its way. The press should reveal Obama's connections to hard left figures and his own voting record that is extremely liberal. And the press should reveal Obama's connections muslim relatives and organizations. Sadly, so much of American moral and political culture has become so tolerant of everything except traditional Christianity and traditional values, that people seem to be rushing American to national suicide.

All people who are voting for Obama should be asked when has, he ever said anything that didn’t amount to out right stupidity when it comes to foreign policy.

Don't forget Mr. King that President Bush and his family are close friends with Osama Bin Laden family. Remember they wre able to fly out of the United States when all other flights were grounded. May be this is why Osama can not be found.

Americans had chosen a wrong candidate for a Republican Party.Are Americans robots that they let the media choose a candidate for them?

Rep. King has been a staunch supporter of immigration reform, and hence a supporter of his own people. He deserves immense credit and support for his posture. But this statement is a different matter altogether. Barack Obama couldn't possibly be any worse than George Bush.

I think the reason we haven't been attacked in a meaningful way since 9/11 is because al Qaeda and company have chosen not to. Bin Laden has us right where he wants us. We're hated in the world like never before; we're going deeper into debt every day to finance this way, and our dollar is sinking like a stone; and Bush is the most unpopular sitting president in my lifetime. Republicans have become so unpopular because of this war that bin Laden deserves much of the credit for the Republicans' defeat in 2006. In a sense, he brought down our government.

It would be easy too easy for al Qaeda to launch another attack. They would only have to enter the country with the other illegal aliens, and their weapons could be smuggled in in bales of marihuana.

Since our borders are standing wide open, we're only kidding ourselves if we think George Bush has stopped more attacks.

You cry babies are so incredibly lame! Do you really think that if King had not made his comments that the outcome would be any different. The facts remain, our enemies do have a preference as to who is in power. And sometimes perception is greater than reality.

Jim Wallis, the evangelical theologian and best-selling author, gets the last word.

"Like his politics or not, support his candidacy or not -- but don't disparage Barack Obama's faith, his church, his minister or his credibility as an articulate Christian layman who feels a vocation in politics," Wallis wrote in a blog last week.

"Those falsehoods are simply vicious lies and should be denounced by people of faith from across the political spectrum."

Mr. Robert Moon needs to take some college course, or workshop on what racism is all about, if he is not able to recognize Mr. King's racist comments.

Thank you, Rep King, the US needs more leaders like you.
