You have to see this at the original site. They publish the letter Congressman King sent to the Libs, but do not show you the abnoxious letters the Liberals sent to Congressman King, we have to take their word for it, but Congressman King we only see his mails. Abnoxious disrespectful people deserve an honest reply.
In other words I gather here, that the Congressman should hae sent a smiling letter, trying to be "bipartisan" comprimise with the Libs so we can all get along. They need to get along with us and be polite.

Predictable results when a jerk writes to a fool.

I have always enjoyed hearing what King has to say. He sure knows how to handle the passive-aggressive Democruds. Quote of the week material about the tranquilizer.

I don't think the congressman's language was abusive, he just told it like it was.
The libs can't stand a well phrased counterargument. They crumble and counterattack with a bunch of lies like, "he was verbally abusive."
Loaded phrase, no meaning, no definition. Most people, however, swallow it whole: He was abusive.
It 's just another sign of the wimpification of girlie-man America.

Kudos to Rep. Peter King

LOL these were great. I wish we had 434 more Representative like him and 100 Senators like him.

These people--and this writer--are kidding, right?
I hope this was a joke.
Put a "D" in front of King's name and he'd be hailed as a courageous hero. He probably would be booked 3 days in a row with Katie.

"I think he took it personally when he didn't have to. I didn't question his morality or intellect." If you say something morally bankrupt and stupid, expect to be called on it. It is not necessary that you question another person in the exact same regard. Sometimes you make a fool of yourself, all by yourself.

What a great American Congressman King is !!!
Perhaps I should send letters to the paper about the staffer that started SCREAMING at me from SINator Feinstein's office.
I am sure that would do no good since I was wrong to think that I, a citizen of the US, had NO RIGHT to call her office as I do not live in California.

"I think they should be honored they have a congressman who actually listens to them -- even if they are not making sense," King said. "I respond to them and they run crying to the newspapers. It's just like the kid who's a wise punk, then when someone takes a shot at them they go running to the teacher."
I LOVE this guy! I write to that fool Boxer, here in California, all the time, demanding an explanation of her position on various issues, and all I get back is some pre-digested pap on some other issue. I'd much rather have a representative who actually responds to what I say, even if he disagrees. But then, I'm not a liberal weenie.

What sort of name is Halikias? Greek?
He sure sounds like a wuss. I think we ought to see his letter, since he asserts that the response he rec'd was inappropriate.
