Conservatives have been on a campaign to draw a brazenly flawed line between an anti-gay Kentucky county clerk and civil rights heroes like Rosa Parks. But Iowa Rep. Steve King (R) took things to the next level by suggesting Saturday that Davis should receive a “Rosa Parks Award.”

King needs Civil Rights Flash Cards to prevent confusing Rosa Parks with Gov. George Wallace blocking entrance to the University of Alabama.

Never mind he just has an asshole at each end of his body thinks it is a gift from god and will be re-elected by folks just like him.

What has iowa become?

1. He has no shame.

And "he just has an asshole at each end of his body" and "thinks it is a gift from god and will be reelected by folks just like him" is CLASSIC!!

Even the Rude Pundit would have a hard time equaling that one.

WELL DONE!

2. Rosa Parks fought for civil rights, against apartheid laws, and to be treated equally.

Kim Davis fights AGAINST civil rights, AGAINST the laws preventing bigotry, and
then cowardly invokes the name of Jesus.

Yes indeedy -- she is just as brave as Rosa.

3. My home state

Iowa has gone from blue to at best purple. A victim of gerrymandering. Sad to say.

4. PM and link from DU member "stone space"

Somebody should inform Steve King that we here in Iowa already have our own Rosa Parks.

5. Every goddamn time King opens his mouth he embarasses the people of Iowa.

I'm way over in the eastern Iowa and I'm embarrassed every time he opens his mouth. He makes all Iowans look bad.
