Repug congressjerk sez "people like Tim Russert" should be shot. |
It was at this juncture that King intervened with a defence of the war
and an attack on the "liberal" media.
"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."
King’s defence of lying to promote violence against innocent people
was no surprise.
He was shouting for war on Iraq as early as December 2001, scornful of
the notion that UN support should even be sought.
"The United States has the right and the responsibility, at the time
of our choosing, to take action against Iraq."
In May 2003, when Bush appeared on an aircraft carrier puffed up in a
flying jacket with a "Mission Accomplished" banner as his backdrop,
King mocked commentators who criticised the occasion as premature:
"This was an incredible military victory--(The critics) are grasping
at straws, they're desperate."

Strange Bedfellows?
Eamonn McCann
Among politicians who gathered around Martin McGuinness and Rita
O’Hare in Washington last week to welcome the IRA statement calling
off its armed campaign were Congressmen Peter King and James Walsh.
Also last week, King told Newsday that "people like Tim Russert"
should be shot.
Russert hosts NBC‘s "Meet the Press".
His offence was to have had former US ambassador Joe Wilson as guest
on the programme.

Russert must have once again defied the RNC. As far as shooting
dissenters, they probably have that buried in the Patriot Act someplace.
Next they'll want to burn the books and shutdown the Net.
So whattaya expect from a traitor like Peter King?
