Crooks & Liars Video: "Rep. Steve King (R-IA) to McClellan: Why couldn’t you just shut up?"
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) to McClellan: Why couldn’t you just shut up?

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/06/20/rep-steve-king-r-ia-to-mcclellan-why-couldnt-you-just-shut-up/



Who can forget Rep Steve King’s horrible words about Obama back in Iowa?

King: “And I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the, the radical Islamists, the, the al-Qaida, and the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11….

Well, he’s baaaack. In one of the most reprehensible lines of questioning today - and Lord knows there were many as Republicans desperately try to outdo each other on who can cover Bush’s ass best - GOP stooge Steve King takes the cake with this gem:

“Couldn’t you have taken this to the grave with you and done this country a favor?”

Video HERE: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/06/20/rep-steve-king-r-ia-to-mcclellan-why-couldnt-you-just-shut-up/

You see, in bizarro Republican world, staying silent and allowing your fellow citizens to remain clueless about how their leaders lie to them is the right, patriotic thing to do. Only traitors speak up about how their country is being flushed down the toilet when there’s still time to actually do something about it.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Scott.

1. Astounding.
There's Republican accountability in a nutshell.

If you discover wrongdoing, STFU. If caught, deny, deny, deny.

And when the wrongdoing has been proven, attack the messenger.

You could almost believe that they use a manual and fololow the same steps.

9. I remain perpetually astonished that Steve King and Tom Harkin were both elected in the same state.
Harkin was one of about 12 senators who voted against confirming Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State.

Not as ashamed as we Iowans are of King.

He never fails to embarrass.

Here's his whole awful thing:

7. Republicans, really, should not be allowed near a position that deals
with the public safety, health and welfare.

10. Of course the Republicans believe in the code of Omerta.
They are, after all, a criminal organization.

"Did I say that out loud?"

13. Mr. King, perhaps you should spend more time looking after your consituents who have been suffering
in the Flood Zone, than honing up on your Nazi communication skills.

Just a thought.

21. I see Mr. King as a modern day Gulliver in Lilliput, Iowa, staked to the ground ...

... as the flood waters rise. :grr: He thinks he's a big man? OK ...

14. That statement serves as one example of why impeachment is way overdue.
His moral compass is apparently so far gone that he feels comfortable speaking those insane words in front of a camera, during a legal proceeding. I'd feel a little more comforted if I had heard some loud groans from the panel, but, no, there's no evidence of astonishment.

16. The RNC is sounding more like the Maf- I- A. "take it to your grave."
This is the Republicans idea of Open Government.

17. Funny thing is that
by him saying that he basically admits that he knowns that Bu$h/Cheney have committed crimes but is ignoring it and thinks McClellan should also.

18. "If you discover wrongdoing, STFU."
Unless it is from a Dem, then broadcast it 24/7 in the Corp Media.

19. We need to HIGHLIGHT that. I guess he hasn't heard. They rarely get a politician for the crime.
They get them on the cover up. Which is what he just proposed on the floor of the House. He has admonished McClellan for not engaging in a cover up which is a criminal act. He did it right there in front of God and everybody.

20. Iowans, how does someone with a zero IQ get elected? He obviously
has no idea how much of a "moran" that statement proves him to be. Vote him OUT in November please.
