Peter King Examining Terror, a Pro-I.R.A. Past

[Swede]

Hypocrisy is all right if you're a Republican.

For Representative Peter T. King, as he seizes the national spotlight this week with a hearing on the radicalization of American Muslims, it is the most awkward of résumé entries. Long before he became an outspoken voice in Congress about the threat from terrorism, he was a fervent supporter of a terrorist group, the Irish Republican Army.

2. When Lt AWOL said he would attack anyone that supported terrorists I wondered when he was going to..

Terrorists apparently are only bad when they are brown, talk funny, and worship a different god.
