Riginslinger-

Is this the statement from Rep. Steve King that so excites you:

"I don't want to disparage anyone because of their, their race, their ethnicity, their name - whatever their religion their father, father might have been," King said just before doing just that.

"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."

"It does matter, his middle name does matter. It matters because they read a meaning into that in the rest of the world, it has a special meaning to them. 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."

Now my father had a hell of a tough time delivering milk during World War 2, given that his first name was "Adolph." He survived but not without some close scrutiny thanks to some overly zealous townspeople who reported him to the FBI.

I think Rep. King's appeal to the Nazi in us all should be rejected by all the Presidential candidates. It's straight out of the Joe McCarthy hate book. He should be so ashamed.
