Yes, because running around screaming that brown people in the Middle East are constantly trying to kill us while we sleep and white people that care about the constitution are trying to violently bring down the government does not create hysteria.

Never thought I'd find a New York GOP politician in my lifetime more hateable than Giuliani, but damn if King ain't passing with flying colors.

He is the worst fascist in CONgress, and that's really saying something, since it's lousy with them.

Yeah, he's up there with John Bolton in the "hateable" category. Bolton is pretty crazy but probably wouldn't be nearly as uncivil as King is.

Then again, I guess Bolton isn't exactly a "politician," but just a political figure.

well, every utopia has mosquitoes.

fuck these guys. Shine the light of truth on them, they shrivel like the wicked witch.

Exactly what I was going to say. This guy is pure evil, and projects it on everyone else.

any chance this miserable little prick could get primaryed? i'd rather see just about anyone (including the current NYC mayor) other than him.

of course, he'd just become a fox news commenter.

Yep, whenever he says Rand Paul, think Peter King.

The comments on that article are crazy. If they are any indication of the MSNBC audience then I have no hope for anyone who watches that channel.

Why, why why is this so hard?

Sen. Rand Paul is “creating this hysteria” in the country by trying to file a lawsuit against President Obama for the spying practices of the National Security Agency, New York Rep. Peter King said on Monday.

“He’s playing on some sort of scaremongering, isolationism. Rather than using intelligent arguments as people could well do, he’s resorting to fear. He’s appealing to the lowest common denominator,” he said on Morning Joe, adding that he misleads Americans.

Paul last week said he is gathering signatures for a class action suit against the NSA and the Obama administration because the government should not be allowed to access citizens’ personal records.


King, former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, on a Sunday Fox News appearance said the senator “doesn’t deserve to be in the United States Senate” because of his accusations against the NSA over its domestic spying program.

Lawmakers in the new year are demanding to know if the NSA is spying on them after former contractor Edward Snowden disclosed NSA classified documents last year that revealed the institution’s global surveillance apparatus.

King last week denounced a New York Times editorial that called for the Obama administration to act leniently with Snowden on charges originating from the NSA leaks. Paul on Sunday, though, told CBS News’ Face the Nation that Snowden doesn’t deserve the death penalty or life in prison simply because he broke the law.

Republicans like Paul–and some Democrats–demonize the NSA and others who are carrying out the work for the country, said King, citing the targeted terrorist attack against the New York City subway system in September of 2009. The plot was thwarted through an intelligence tip received by the FBI.

If the country listens to comments like those of Paul, King said, a similar attack would be successful.

Both Republicans have said they are considering a bid for the 2016 presidential election.

From the article:

Translation: Somebody told the "FBI" what was going on, just like when somebody told on you in third grade.


The dopey staff at the "FBI" just wants to be Sean Connery with decoder rings. They convince people that their slick techniques are effective, but the mathematical concept of randomness means they're highly ineffective.

And Peter Queen has a little hysteria of his own going on. Girly man needs to buy a new purse and stop being jealous of the really cool and hip chamber of the school--I mean legislature.

Ive never been one for conspiracy theories but Im going to go out and say it....

"Breaking headlines. Peter King has a huge secret crush on Rand Paul. More at 11."

Granting that King was doing his usual schtick as the avatar of idiocy, could you guys believe that segment? Leave it to GENBC to offer us a "debate" between a Republican US rep who thinks the NSA must shred the Constitution to keep us safe from the nebulous threat of Terror and a Democrat former-US rep who thinks the NSA must shred the Constitution to keep us safe from the nebulous threat of Terror.

Does anyone else find it scary that people can actually watch this and take it seriously? That they really believe they're informed?

Yup, and they are the very large majority.

And you...you are an enemy of the state.

Goddamn right it's scary...we're in a bind, and no fucking fooling.

Is it me or does it seem that the people that hate Rand ARE extremely hysterical in their hate, be they anarchist, neocons or social cons?

One end tries to rally their faction while the other tries to co-op via planted candidate (aka Cruz). Remember the last liberty candidates? One washed up with his bottled water incident, one wanted to close 3 cabinets but forgot one, and the other is in the media hype machine right now.

As Ron said, "We're dangerous".

NY really knows how to elect em'...eh?

[georgiaboy]

All I know is, the more shrill these others sound, the more sane, reasonable, and 'adult' Rand sounds.

That is very good.

[Occam's Banana]

I love me some Peter King. Seriously I do.

The Liberty Movement needs more than just eloquent & incisive pro-liberty & anti-establishment advocates.
It also needs fatuous anti-liberty & pro-establishment dipwads who make Rand, Amash, etc. look like paragons of sanity.

And Peter King fits the "fatuous dipwad" bill to a tee ...

[HOLLYWOOD]

If NE1 has the video this morning from FOX BUSINESS' Varney & company, please post. Judge Napolitano was on, he covered Congressman Kooky King, Senator Rand Paul, and the NSA, perjurers, etc. Please post the YT vid.... it worth a watch and a REP...;)

[jtstellar]

the real motive to question is the establishment inviting him on both progressive and 'conservative' outlets to talk about bs

[Ronin Truth]

Well Rand is certainly creating Peter King's hysteria. :p

LOL - That little news piece, would have been three paragraphs at best, if anybody writing news these days knew what the hell Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" was.

So, at least a few lines would have worked.

Never mind me, just a pet peeve of mine: an ambiguous url, floating out there, with nothing describing what it is...do I click on it and give traffic to people I disapprove of? Malware? And what if the link goes dead and important information goes down the memory hole?

Peter King says:

-It is perfectly acceptable for the NSA to spy on Congress because they might be palling around with Al Qaeda operatives (separation of powers is an illusion anyway);

-Rand Paul is lying about the NSA and spreading fear among the American people (you heard him, F-E-A-R as in AL-QAEDA-OPERATIVES palling around with Senators);

-Ed Snowden is a throwback to the "hate America" crowd from the 60s;

-Emperor Obozo should stop apologising for the NSA.

WB7:

First of all, it is well known that members of Congress such as King are closet Al Qaeda operatives.

Secondly, King should be closely monitored by the staff of Creedmore not the NSA.

Finally, if Obozo has been apologising for the NSA it's news to me. He must have been doing so in 20 second Snapchats with the Danish PM.

You know, I love America. But there is also a dark side of America that I hate and King sits at the vortex of that dark side, the Moron Vortex...
