Fanatical Peter King Explodes over Republican NSA Resolution

Predictably the RNC’s resolution to restrain the unconstitutional activities of the NSA has already met with fierce resistance from one of the more deranged defenders of the fascist security state. Representative Peter King of Long Island (as well as the terrorist Irish Republican Army) exploded over the brand new “Resolution To Renounce The National Security Agency’s Surveillance Program” before the ink had even had time to dry. For a very brief time the first step upward out of the gigantic hole that has been dug for the Republican party by the likes of George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Lee Atwater and others who had seen the at one time huge political benefit of yoking the party to the religious right only to see it turn into a millstone around their necks as time passed, demographics shifted and elderly voters died. It was a brilliant idea even if largely motivated by political considerations to go on record as opposing the NSA data-mining and spying given the growing popularity of libertarian ideals among the young and the terminal corruption of the current system that has alienated the majority of the population.

But even a suggestion of a return to constitutional principles infuriated the lunatic King who according to an article in the ‘inside baseball’ gospel of the beltway Politico ranted in his usual incoherent manner as he savaged the resolution:

“We’re going to make the Democrats and Barack Obama the party of national security,” he said. “It’s signing our own death warrant as a party.”

“Republicans are supposed to be the party of national defense,” King said. “It would be one thing if people wanted to pass legislation [posing] questions. But to talk about ‘spying’ and unconstitutionality … it’s basically repudiating the policies of the Republican Party over the last 12 years, policies that kept us safe.”

In his rage at the prospect of a return to a saner land where the Constitution actually is something other than “a goddamned piece of paper” King had that rare moment where he let the truth slip when uttering the line that: “We’re going to make the Democrats and Barack Obama the party of national security … It’s signing our own death warrant as a party.” BINGO! The Bush administration played the terrorism card early and often in consolidating political power and smearing opponents as unpatriotic and terrorist sympathizers and it worked brilliantly, the same arguments are currently being made to protect the illegal activities of the NSA. Never forget how loathsome establishment politician Saxby Chambliss smeared Democrat Max Cleeland, a decorated Vietnam veteran who lost three limbs in service to the country during the 2002 Georgia Senate race.  A Chambliss ad compared him to Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein at the height of the national insanity that was triggered by the 9/11 attacks. Chambliss like so many others who have supported sending others to die in wars of their creation never served in the military. For that matter neither did the chickenhawk Peter King unless you count the National Guard which has long been a refuge for those seeking to avoid being shot at.

There will be several other warmongering apple pie authoritarian Republicans following King as they attack any sort of party effort to address the gutting of the Constitution and put an end to the unconstitutional mass surveillance led of course by the McCarthy style blowhard Mike Rogers.

Also according to the Politico story:

King has indicated he is weighing what would be a long-shot presidential bid in part because he wants the 2016 Republican debates to include a more aggressive perspective on defense issues.

God help us.

Insane Demagogue Peter King Goes the Full McCarthy

""If we listened to Rand Paul hundreds of New Yorkers would be dead today"

- Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R-IRA)

When it comes to screwing America there are few more guilty than New York’s 2nd Congressional District that continues to return the psychotic bigot Peter King (R-IRA) to his overly prominent position as the craziest bastard in the U.S. Congress. The one thing with King is that he never ceases to amaze with his uncanny ability to one up his latest asinine proclamation with yet another that is even more batshit crazy than the one befor. After an ugly meltdown last week directed at the hated New York Times for an op ed daring to suggest that former government contractor Booz-Allen-Hamilton employee turned NSA leaker be granted “clemency” the rotund little fiend from Long Island blasted the NYT as terrorist appeasers just couldn't let it go. To know King’s history is to understand how truly ridiculous of a tirade that he engaged in because of all people he after all knows quite a bit about appeasing terrorists from his days of supporting the Irish Republican Army when they were killing civilians in cowardly bomb attacks. It takes a set of stones as well as a pathological tendency for hypocrisy that borders on the uncontrollable urges of a pederast to continue to unleash such over the top bullshit but today he did it again.

In a continuation from his vomit inducing performance on Fox News Sunday where he defended the NSA Stasi spying on members of congress (he would fit in well in Stalin or Hitler's regimes with such sentiment) and spewed fascist venom that Senator Rand Paul, an NSA critic is undeserving of his Senate seat, would get Americans killed and who owes serial perjurer James Clapper an apology.  King doubled down by launching yet another  savage attack on Senator Paul on today's Morning Joe program in continuing his tantrum and accusing Barack Obama (a secret Muslim of course to the lunatic fringe of which King is a leader) of allowing the fifth columnist Paul to "create hysteria" and of being a part of the "hate America crowd". It is now obvious that Mr. King has finally gone a bridge too far and is rapidly becoming one hell of a liability for those who supported this unprincipled zealot for so long.

The amazing thing is that King's Sunday anti-Paul, anti-American, anti-Constitutional rant that was so crazed that even the neo-fascist, anti-Muslim bigots at Commentary Magazine denounced it. And when you have lost the support of Commentary you have a serious problem, especially since they were a big cheerleader for King's McCarthyist anti-Muslim tribunals in which tons of taxpayer money was squandered to promote the type of vile bigotry that American foreign policy embarked upon during the PNAC influenced first Bush-Cheney term. I am interested to see what that publication has to say about today's exhibition of lunacy that in any civilized country would have had the man taken into custody, fitted for a straight jacket and sent to sit in the corner of a rubber room. Let us all hope that King's unraveling over the last few days will deliver him his very own McCarthy moment when his despicable conduct earns him a long deserved banishment from the public sphere but who really thinks that will happen? This is after all THE HOMELAND.

The voters in this demonic ass clown’s district should just choose to do the right thing for America for a change and oust the dirty little gangster from office come November 4^th and find someone to send to D.C. who is rational for a change. It really does not reflect well on District 2 to continue to provide the jackboot that the rogue surveillance state continues to stomp up and down on law-abiding American's civil liberties. Perhaps he will be primaried by the so-called Tea Party big money machine given his recent whoring for money to unseat libertarians, hard core conservatives and any and all politicians who don’t support a fascist police state at home and a global war machine abroad. He much more fittingly deserves a similar treatment as that allegedly administered by Korean dictator Kim Jong –un who was said to have fed his uncle to 120 starving dogs but given that I am a dog lover who is adverse to cruelty to animals and that we still aren’t at the point where it is acceptable to feeding enemies of the state to packs of animals  - at least not yet anyway - the best that can be hoped for is that enough people on Long Island are finally able to pull their heads out of their asses and do their patriotic duty by ousting this freak.

Deranged Peter King Accuses NY Times of Terrorist Appeasement

In an epic meltdown the crazed Peter King unloaded on the New York Times for daring to suggest that former government contractor Booz-Allen-Hamilton employee turned NSA leaker Edward Snowden be granted clemency. Long a target of the insane authoritarian demographic that has seized control of the Republican party and conducted a Stalinist style purge of the rational the Times has now become the target of the demagogues pushing to protect their beloved NSA surveillance apparatus. King appeared on Fox News (where else?) in the immediate aftermath of the Times OpEd to spew his rancid bile just as he does when he is conducting his neo-McCarthyist tribunals on taxpayer funds to promote anti-Muslim hatred and stir up fear in order for the surveillance state programs that his type need to go after their massive enemies list. Were King a patriotic American (which he is not) he would use his position as the Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security to investigate the enemies within the system that have been waging war on the constitution since September 11, 2001. This country will never fall to foreign enemy despite the hysterics from lunatics like King and his ilk about a Muslim fifth column and the implementation of Sharia Law but it will be eaten from within by the termites that are the fascist thugs and their pathological obsession for control of everything.

The catalogue of King’s fanatic ravings is already voluminous and the second congressional district out on Long Island should do the rest of the country a favor come November and vote this national disgrace of a politician out of office. He should have no problems finding some local beer hall from which to spew his venom from.  The following excerpt is from a story from the ‘Inside Baseball’ beltway website Politico and sums up King’s comments to the Foxosphere:

"Their editorial today and their whole pattern over the last several years, they’ve really made themselves a blame-America-first rag as far as I’m concerned, and why we exalt The New York Times is beyond me," the New York Republican said on Fox News. "They go out of their way to be apologists for terrorists and go after those in law enforcement and military who are trying to win this war."

King, who has long been a defender and proponent of the National Security Agency, called the editors "a disgrace" and said he wishes they "cared more about America than they did about the rights of terrorists' appeasers." King said NSA programs do not violate the privacy of Americans and that lives are saved because of them.

“And yet, The New York Times races to Mr. Snowden’s defense. They don’t care about American lives being lost," King said. "They have this narrow, liberal, left-wing ideological point of view. They did it to the NYPD; they’re trying to do it to the NSA."

"It’s time for Americans to stand up and reject The New York Times and expose them for the rag that they are."

People like this are the reason that Thorazine was invented.

King’s tirade even one upped washed up right-wing pundit Ann Coulter’s anti-NYT comment that “My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building”. Interestingly this sort of thinking seems to be quite pervasive with certain personality types to whose deviance only allows them to  recognize violence and repression as an answer to all problems, they actually have a good deal in common with real terrorists.  Peter King himself was for a long time an ardent supporter of actual terrorists, the provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army that murdered innocent women and children.

It could be said that the strongest argument yet to be made for dismantling the NSA programs are the figures who have come out in defense of them. Just as Snowden said, such systems would present a regime with even more contempt for the constitution than Obama or Bush-Cheney to use them for the worst purposes imaginable. Turnkey totalitarianism was the term that I believe that the now obviously patriotic whistleblower used and a man like Peter King were he to have the ability, particularly given his history of virulent anti-Muslim bigotry would relish combing through the data accumulated by the NSA to personally put together the pickup lists and begin the inquisitions.

Godwin’s Law be damned, the only way to truly describe Peter King is that the man is a full blown Nazi.

Editor's Note: King's district was mistakenly identified as the third congressional district rather than the second congressional district, my apologies to the second congressional district.
