  1. Someone may be right to ask these question, but not Peter King. He is a despicable terrorist apologist.

  2. Are we talking about the same Peter King? For a guy who said “There is a real threat to the country from the Muslim community, and the only way to get to the bottom of it is to investigate what is happening” I would not normally ascribe that to a terrorist apologist.

  3. Recently I read a statistic somewhere that the 1% of Americans that are Muslim account for 80% of terrorist attacks (I’m not sure what the qualifiers are.)

    Perhaps Ruth is one of those swimming in the ‘left leaning’ stream that is honestly trying to see the truth?

    It’s not very easy for those with a totally immature and irrational ideology to perceive the obvious.

    Perhaps a good mugging like Juan Williams had would do the trick?

  4. The Post describes her as “a boots-on-the-ground columnist who likes to report first and opine later.”

    Which sounds just like the kind of slam the left would give to someone that still has a shred of integrity. It’s a slam because any good leftist would opine first regardless of facts.

  5. He is a despicable terrorist apologist.

    Unfortunately King has lots of company, including the late Ted Kennedy.

    I remember the days when various East Coast cliques raised money for the IRA. IRA support attracted a lot of otherwise sane folks. Unlike the Castro cult, IIRC, the meme wasn’t limited to the left.

    Maybe it’s the White Hat Fallacy at work – the hasty assumption that whoever opposes something unjust is just. People see British rule of Ireland as a bad thing, and hastily assume that the people fighting it are the Good Guys.

  6. Or good old fashioned ethnic vote seeking. Support for the IRA to pander to the Irish vote, anti-Muslim rhetoric to pander to the Jewish vote? Again, someone may have been right to ask these questions, but not Peter King.

  7. Why not Peter King? Nobody else is doing it. I’d rather have someone investigating the issue than everyone keeping silent until Bad Shit happens.

  8. If you’re sitting in the chair when it’s time to do something, it’s time to do it. King is sitting in that chair. If the character of those elected was a disqualifying factor… hey, that might work! Except the evil party always circles the wagons while the stupid party all become wall flowers.

  9. “The roots of Holder’s reticence are admirable: He wanted to avoid tarring an entire faith with the sins of a few extreme adherents.”

    They left out part of Holder’s thought.

    “The roots of Holder’s reticence are admirable: He wanted to avoid tarring an entire faith with the sins of a few extreme adherents, PROVIDING, THE FAITHS IN QUESTION ARE NOT JUDAISM OR CHRISTIANITY.”
