I hope someone got it on tape. First hand accounts are good and all but tape is proof. If he really said that stuff he may be open to FBI investigation.

Sounds like he may have information about impending attacks. Only one way to be sure: to the waterboard!

Among a large cast of insane characters out there on the far-Right fringe, King continues to go for the Gold. But as easy as it is to laugh or sneer at him, Bachmann, Palin, et al, the sad truth is that Boehner, Cantor and the rest of the R leadership is no different on the issues, just more discreet on the message.

I guess if he's a pilot we'll have to call him Sky King. while presented as a Western Action show it was actually a screed for Joe McCarthy type fears of commies.

Didn't McVeigh do that to the Murrah building?

Rep King=Pure Evil. It shows in his eyes. He needs to be locked up.

This entire episode is just despicable.
The right have shown, with the leadership of the Fox/RNC channel and hate radio, that they really are, in fact, the christian version of Al Qaeda. They may not have lobbed any heads off recently, but they have aided and abetted a number of terrorist attacks over the last few years - and their support of this guy, and the killer of Dr. Tiller, proves it.
They do not love America; they love their extremist fantasy they call America - which in reality is nothing more than a christianist cult, trying to take our great nation over. They actually suvccessded in the Bush years, and now slowly we are taking it back from them.
They HATE America, with a vengeance. They show that every time they talk about Obama, who's so centrist he's raised the ire of many liberals.
But Obama MUST play the centrist role right now - becasue the extremists ares till littered about government, and cannot be fired unles they stray from their job description too much.
They are heavily embedded, and if we become too much a part of the real world too quickly, I have no doubt that the hard right will attempt a coup.
I know that sounds extreme - but remember these guys lied us into a war, killing over a million people they consider to be 'unbelievers'.
They have fooled most of the world into believing they did good things in Africa, all the while paying African governments off to buy the line that education and condoms are the enemy; and only abstinence and the bible can save them from the horror that is HIV/Aids. Oh, yes - and exterminating gays. That was supposed to be the one GOOD thing about the Cheney/Bush reign of fear.
Anyone who thinks that Obama won't be assassinated or deposed if he strays too much toward the people's interests and not the corporate/extremist christianist interests, is naive.

I know I sound a bit conspiracy-theorist, and boy do I despise the likes of Alex Jones and their warped logic.
But really, considering what they have already achieved: the neo-cons and their extreme christianist allies would very easily find a way if they felt they had to.

King himself deserves what he's suggesting. Hope no one makes him a martyr though.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told a crowd at CPAC on Saturday that he could "empathize" with the suicide bomber

COME ON Steveo! Don't just empathize, emulate. Get yourself a plane and fly it into a building. Or the ocean. We're all rooting for you.... asshole.

Hello!?! Stevie, over here. Yoohoo, glassy eyes! Snap out of it. Whatre u staring at? Are you shocked at some 'imploded' IRS office? Something you suggested? Is that it, Stevarino?

Between him and Oily Taters, who is urging the military and her clients to take up arms against the government in DC, we don't need external enemies- we have plenty within. Surely there must be some IRS employees within Kings district? Hopefully they will start something. People like King and Taters are dangerous to the safety and well being of the country and our government.

He oughta be arrested.

Congressman King, what's that clicking sound on your phone? And who's black SUV is that parked at the end of your street?

"...his sworn duty to protect the American people from all sworn enemies, foreign and domestic."

Don't congressmen (and senators), like the President, swear to protect the Constitution, not the people?

George W. Bush constantly claimed to have sworn to protect the people, which is I believe the source of this error.

Not that it makes King's latest breakout any less idiotic.

Just as expected, the GOP has tilted over into sympathizing with domestic terrorism. All that venom against the govt has created another Timothy McVeigh type real attack. For shame.

King is a member of congress. (The last I checked--the "gov'ment" and putatively the first among the co-equals. King should know about the government. He has held a government office since 1996. Of course, during the 'Nam, this ostensible patriot wasn't interested in defending captitalist, and christian America from the godless communists.) Why doesn't he just introduce a bill--and shepherd the legislation--to abolish the IRS? Why use language that suggests encouraging violent action?

The IRS, as an agency certainly has its flaws, but who writes the tax code? And paints the broad strokes for the IRS to interpret and codify? Oh, yes: the congress.

King is merely using this tragedy as a way to "call to arms" his base of moronic war-mongerers. They actually believe they are justified and will do anything they feel is necessary to further their cause. What scares the living crap out of me, is the insane amount of police/military men who have joined the Oath Keepers, who will not raise arms against people like this. They say they will not fight if a state or nation claims sovereignty; however, I doubt they'd be okay with Palestine being a "sovereign nation". Also, I do find it odd that this would happen in Texas, where many residents believe (wrongly) that when they joined the union that they could succeed anytime they wish. This is untrue, but there are many who do not agree. Scary stuff.

So according to Mr. King, people who make $20,000 a year should pay the same tax rate as people who make $2,000,000 a year. No wait, since the person making 20 grand will almost surely spend every penny, while the person making 2 mil might well invest half or more of their income, in fact Mr. King wants people who make 20 grand to pay double the effective tax rate of people who make millions. Sure sounds fair to me.

Wow, a politician that makes sense! thats a first! Wow.

I don't believe what I'm reading in these comments. You people are actually DEFENDING THE IRS? Let me guess? You all work at the IRS?

Seriously, what a bunch of pathetic stooges. A gaggle of chattering parrots.

SQWAK! Pay your taxes! SQWAK!

Rep. King didn't say anything that most Americans, including most of you assholes, doesn't think themselves in their quiet moments.

You accept the concept of taxation on your labor because you have grown up as indoctrinated as any right-winger you constantly bash here in your arena of stupid. Your concept of your own humanity is so flawed, the brain programming so complete, that you folks actually believe that your labor can be taxed by someone else. Are you a slave owned by the Federal government or are you a human being? Because a human being owns its own labor, whereas a slave is compelled to hand over a portion of the fruits of their labor to their master.

By all these comments, I can only conclude that most of the people who comment on TPM are slaves. Or again, IRS shills.

Seriously, pathetic.

please help prevent steve king (R-IA) from getting re-elected. please become a fan of "Steve King, US Representative from Iowa's 5th District, is a Nincompoop" at http://facebook.com/stevekingnincompoop

Sounds like a prety good plan to me dude.
