Obama Wants McCain to Apologize for Truth Spoken By Steve King
Posted on March 8, 2008
The Obama campaign are outraged over the true words spoken by Steve King. They want McCain to apologize for Congressman Steve King saying that Al Qaeda would celebrate if Obama won the presidency. I sure hope McCain doesn’t feel that he needs to apologize for the truth.
Barack Obama’s campaign wants John McCain to denounce Iowa Rep. Steve King’s claims to a local newspaper that terrorists would be “dancing in the streets†if Obama is elected president.
The GOP congressman said he is a McCain supporter, and the Obama campaign is looking for the Arizona senator to give King the same finger wag he gave Cincinnati talk-show host Bill Cunningham when he referred to Obama three times as “Barack Hussein Obama†while introducing McCain.
“These comments have no place in our politics, and we hope Senator McCain will repudiate them like he has previous offensive comments from his supporters,†Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.
King made the comments in an interview with the Daily Reporter in Spencer, Iowa, basing his prediction on Obama’s pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and his middle name, Hussein.
“I don’t want to disparage anyone because of their race, their ethnicity, their name - whatever their religion their father might have been,” he said. “I’ll just say this: When you think about the option of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected President of the United States — I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam?”
He continued: “I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror.”King thinks radical Islamists will say the United States has capitulated because the Obama administration would be pulling troops out of any conflict associated with al-Qaida.
…They will be dancing in the streets because of his middle name. They will be dancing in the streets because of who his father was and because of his posture that says: Pull out of the Middle East and pull out of this conflict.”
He continued: “There are implications that have to do with who he is and the position that he’s taken. If he were strong on national defense and said ‘I’m going to go over there and we’re going to fight and we’re going to win, we’ll come home with a victory,’ that’s different. But that’s not what he said. They will be dancing in the streets if he’s elected president. That has a chilling aspect on how difficult it will be to ever win this Global War on Terror.”
The truth is that Al Qaeda would celebrate. They’d celebrate if any Democrat got the office as a matter of fact. Especially one that is promising to surrender.
I agree with Gateway Pundit:
The “Axis of Evil” all rejoiced when the antiwar Democrats took Congress in 2006.
The “Axis of Evil” was ecstatic!
They were celebrating:** In Syria
** In Iran
** By Al Qaeda in Iraq
** By Hugo Chavez in Venezuela
** In North Korea
** Even CubaThey’ll be dancing in the streets if Obama- or Hillary- win the White House in 2008, too.

This King guy is a sick puppy. McCain has to publicly condemn these remarks, or he will look like a bigot.
Just watch. McCain will cave. He has to.
Ha ha.
King’s remarks are suitable only for frightened bigots who cannot imagine a US president who is able to reach out and communicate even with our enemies. The “optics” King refers to can only refer to the narrow sightedness of the Republican mentality that has resulted in the isolation and repudiation of the US in global politics.
This article and King are outrageous. Shameful.
King?s remarks are suitable only for frightened bigots who cannot imagine a US president who is able to reach out and communicate even with our enemies
“We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.”

And no, he didn’t mean just Israel. He also said it in connection with the bombing of the USMC unit stationed in Beirut.
If Obama has figured out a new way to communicate with these bastards then I’d really like to hear it.
Anonymity is fertilizer to the cowardice of racism.
Osama Obama’s way to communicate with the Islamofascists is to plant his a** in the air.
Al-Qaeda has said that they are Rooting for John McCain, Bush and GOP to stay in power.
Long Iraq War is helping Al-Qaeda to expand & giving them more wealth, power, assets and terrorists, Bin Laden & Al-Qaeda have said that McCain, Bush and GOP needs to win so Iraq War will continue & it will help Al-Qaeda be bigger & stronger than ever.

Bush & McCain stopped focussing on Afghanistan but only focus on Iraq and that has helped Al-Qaeda more than ever. Al-Qaeda wants Iraq War to continue and USA to lose all money and resources in Iraq so Al-Qaeda & Bin Laden Bush’s 2 best friends…

(thinkprogress.org/2006/09/14/barnes-osama),
isn’t being harmed at the places they exist and are training, Al-Qaeda can continue to go after America and grow by the seconds & become more powerful than ever
Al-Qaeda loving GOP, your Rove hate/fear/war-mongering & profiting tactics won’t work anymore, you’re sicker than hell & haven’t yet told US that Al-Qaeda & Osama himself has said many times that GOP needs to win & stay in power so Iraq War will continue & Al-Qaeda will expand in Afghanistan & elsewhere, GOP doesn’t do anything outside Iraq. AlQaeda even does bombing campaigns before elections (remember 2004 & 2006 right before US elections) to make sure fear-mongering works & GOP stays in power
Right Before 2006 US Mid-term elections…

BHO is an empty-suited, socialist-liberal with militan Black Nationalist and past Muslim allegiances.
Does anyone, repeat, ANY American truly think he is suitable to become President? Give me a break. He appeals to kids who are naive and self-hating, USA hating socialsts/muslims/communists and Louie Farahkan nut-jobs. But the media won’t allow a frank discussion of this jack-asses “qualifications”. Just like the media won’t allow a real discussion of the illegal immigration from Mexico, the identity theft, social security fraud committing illegal amigos. Won’t allow it for fear of being called a bigot.
Likewise, won’t allow a frank discussion of mass mooslim immigration into this country, the raising of mosques, the pressure to incorporate primitive sharia law, etc. Nothing is honestly debated; nothing is solved.
Ah, yes, “peace in our time” if we only talk to the Islamic versions of Hitler.
Sad folks learn so little from history.
It would be ok if they would be the only ones to suffer through their foolishness (I fully support learning through experience), but they will happily expose the rest of us to the butchers knife while at the same time chiding us for “insensitivity” if we fight back.
Anyone who supports “talking” to Islamists should be required to live as a low class worker in Saudi Arabia for at least two years. Then get back to me.
LEt’s not forget what Obama said recently. He wants us to forget all about 9/11, to “put it behind us,” and simply “talk” to terrorists, like Al-Qaeda and Hamas, who want us dead and will never listen to reason.
Obama is in a dream world, or an alternate universe. Obama is totally convinced that his silver-tongued rhetoric can sway terrorists as easily as it sways voters. It is the height of hubris and chutzpah to think that the most pernicious and persistent enemy to human freedom can be won over with dialogue.
To put it another way, Obama may prove to be more of a “clear and present danger” than Osama ever was.
Oh, and BTW, Obama’s foreign policy advisor, Richard Malley, was (or probably still is) a fundraiser for Hamas.
Regardless Obama’s faults what this jerk said is stupid beyond words. If he limited the reasons for Jihadist happiness to Obamas cowardice and inexperience that would have been okay. To bring in his name and his father’s religion is F’g STUPID and counterproductive.
That prissy whiner plays right into the GOP stereotype; rich, white racist country clubber right out of Caddy Shack.
The only way McCain loses is if more braindead a’holes like King keep opening their pie holes and reminding America that most Republican lawmakers are blithering idiots.

whats next—truth police? no……..no….the justice bros up our rears because something true was said.
