After Boston, we should put Muslims under surveillance, says Rep. King

Despicable bigot, Peter King, wastes no time.

President Obama cautioned the nation not to rush to judgment about the Boston Marathon bombers. But that’s not stopping Republican Rep. Peter King.

King, who chairs the House subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, is urging authorities to beef up their surveillance of Muslims in the U.S. following Friday night’s arrest of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Police must “realize that the threat is coming from the Muslim community and increase surveillance there,” the New York lawmaker told National Review.

King—who spearheaded controversial hearings on the radicalization of Muslim-Americans in 2011—also told CNN that “we can’t be politically correct. I think we have to see, has radicalization extended into the Chechen community?”

This from the man who for years spoke in defense of the IRA...maybe he should be placed under surveillance, because I don't believe his claims of changing his mind!!!

It is sick the way he,along with Graham and McCain are using this tragedy to feed the ignorant base of their voters.
After their announcement that the youngest brother should not be tried in a court of law,nothing surprises me anymore!
I have to believe that they are aware if what is constitutional and legal. So I can only conclude that these pigs in suits are using this tragedy for their own political ends.
