Peter King: Torture Report Used To Distract From Obamacare By Those Who ‘Hate America First’
[su_right_ad]To Congressman Peter King, if you wanted the torture report released you hate America.
In an appearance today on Newsmax, Rep. Peter King claimed that the CIA didn’t torture anyone — calling their enhanced interrogation techniques “mild” — and decried torture critics for having a “‘hate America first’ attitude that is self-loathing, self-hatred.”
The New York Republican then told host J.D. Hayworth that the report came to light as a way to deflect attention from Jonathan Gruber’s testimony to the House Oversight Committee on Obamacare.

This guy just cracks me up, I roll my eyes and chuckle.

Why would anyone want to distract from Obamacare when it’s working so well?
Bunya December 10th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
Then maybe it’s Peter King distracting us with the torture report. Lord knows he wants to distract us from the wildly successful Obamacare.
tiredoftea December 10th, 2014 at 5:07 pm
Yes, let’s keep doing immoral, illegal and ineffective things just because we’re “exceptional”.
Denise December 10th, 2014 at 6:29 pm
I cannot believe these morons were re-elected! why would the president want to draw distraction from a program that enabled citizens to have access to quality, healthcare? that makes about as much sense as Bachmann saying the white immigrants w from Europe were American, even they are undocumented illegals from another country. All this, from the race of people in which many claim they are superior to everybody else. If King, Bachmann, Gohmert, Palin..are examples of superiority, this explains why the country is going backwards!

You want to understand it all?
Hmmm…well, OK. Do the following:
Hit yourself in the head with a 5 pound sledge repeatedly, whilst listening to Limbaugh and watching a D’Souza film, for about 2 hours.
Then give yourself a home lobotomy.
Repeat (including the lobotomy) as often as it takes until you start to think “This kinda makes sense!”.
Then get drunk on cheap wine.
That should get you close.

Peter King has always had his eye on the Oval Office, and it looks as if he’s making an early move to get ahead of other contenders for the GOP nomination with this bit of idiocy. It’s not as juicy as some of his previous idiocy, but it worth moving up one place in the Right Wing Dunce Contest.
Let’s go to the leaderboard for the current rankings!
1) Mitt Romney
2) Michele Bachmann
3) Nyewt Gingrich
4) Steven King
5) Sarah Palin
6) Rick Santorum
7) greasy-haired Rand Paul
8) Donald Trump
9) Peter King
10) Herm Cain
11) Christine O’ Donnell
12) Louis Gohmert
13) Rooty Giuliani
14) Paul Ryan
15) Eric Cantor
16) Tim Pawlenty
17) Allen West
18) Todd Akin
19) “Mo” Brooks
20) Rick Perry

Where’s the jebster…surely HE will redeem us!

And I don’t see the Canadian Cuban on here.
Hirightnow December 10th, 2014 at 6:38 pm
Who is TOTALLY A US CITIZEN, of course…
Larry Schmitt December 10th, 2014 at 6:40 pm
Actually, he is. I looked up the requirements, his mother was a citizen, that makes him a citizen from birth.
Hirightnow December 10th, 2014 at 6:41 pm
So he SAYS!!!!
I want to see multiple copies of the BC, an announcement in a rural Mid-West American newspaper, and a full bio of his biological father.
Larry Schmitt December 10th, 2014 at 6:42 pm
What about his metaphysical father?
Hirightnow December 10th, 2014 at 6:43 pm
I’ll meditate on that at level 3…
(QUICK! Name the film!)
Larry Schmitt December 10th, 2014 at 6:46 pm
Doesn’t ring a bell.

Hirightnow December 10th, 2014 at 6:52 pm
Yup
Just as odd,messed up,and hard to follow as any RW thought process out there…
But with bewbs.

Never saw the movie, but once you’ve seen Sean Connery in a red diaper, you never forget it.
Hirightnow December 10th, 2014 at 6:53 pm
Oh, friend…see it.
It cannot be explained; it must be experienced.

More not fair linking that on a Wednesday!
Hirightnow December 10th, 2014 at 7:07 pm
I’ll make it up on the Thursday open thread.

Only if you read the 14th Amendment, not according to Orlie and the birth certificate crowd.By their definition, he doesn’t qualify.
Larry Schmitt December 10th, 2014 at 7:06 pm
But using facts, he does.
Hirightnow December 10th, 2014 at 7:09 pm
Facts!
(phbbt)
You can prove anything with facts…
tiredoftea December 10th, 2014 at 7:20 pm
Facts? What facts? The right ignores facts.

Heh.

Don’t forget Governor Crispy Creme, who was totally exonerated in the Bridge-gazi scandal a week ago. Thereby giving him a mandate to run for POTUS…..

The call for the arrest and trial of Bush/ Cheney and company should be loud and endless. These right wing wack jobs who want to yell ‘impeach Obama’ in every breath, should be met with war crimes and human right charges for their little liars. Then we’ll see who really hates America, the right who gave us war and torture, or the left who tried to get us out of it.

I thought Obamacare issues were only to deflect attention from Benghazi but now I find out that torture information is only there to deflect attention from Obamacare which, by extension, is deflecting attention from Benghazi …
Why didn’t he miss the middle step and say that the torture information is there to deflect attention from Benghazi?
rg9rts December 12th, 2014 at 11:53 am
Listening to King is torture
