Beyond heartbreaking and infuriating. Congressman King really is wearing old Joe McCarthy's shoes. His explanation for why supporting the IRA isn't the same as supporting "real terrorists" makes my stomach turn. Bet he's one of those guys who likes to drink green beer on St. Patrick's day and wear shamrock antennae on his head (or maybe a green derby) and romanticize life in the Emerald Isle. Hypocrite.
If you haven't seen Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison's powerful testimony at the witchhunt hearing this week you need to watch this. Do you remember Mohammed Salman Hamdani? He was a young "first responder" emergency services worker who died while trying to save lives on 9/11....but his name was smeared for quite a while in the NY press by those who tried to whip up the story that he was part of the terrorist plot that day and that he was "on the run" trying to escape being caught. His detractors only backed down after his body was later found in the rubble. Barely an apology or retraction was heard. It's a disgrace.
