King Says Gay Marriage is Path to Socialism

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) declared in a radio interview that same sex marriage is part of a socialist agenda to undermine "the foundations of individual rights and liberties."

Said King: "Not only is it a radical social idea, it is a purely socialist concept in the final analysis."

1. that's why we need Govt to prevent people from being able to do certain things

or else the govt will get too much power??????????

[Colobo]

2. What a crazy bastard.

[jobycom]

3. They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

I did check to be sure you weren't quoting The Onion. You weren't. Where's a smilie shaking it's head in mingled horror, sadness, and disbelief?

[Iris]

27. I'd love to hear one of them define socialism.

[iamjoy]

4. So's Miscegenation

a lot of people don't realize that Vladimir Lenin married a black man.

:sarcasm:

[rurallib]

Anything the whackos dislike now is "socialist"

I'd be willing to bet King says his mother-in-law is socialist, his tight shoes are socialist, every Mexican except his undocumented gardner is socialist.........

24. EXACTLY - NPR was interviewing a bunch of white guys in Selma, AL,

and of course, they were all insistent that their criticism of Obama was not race-based in the slightest. The REAL reason, they explained, for the criticism, was that he was simply a socialist!! :crazy:

[Iris]

28. I heard that and was floored!

It went something like, "The problem with the discussion of race is that it hides the real problem. We're moving toward socialism!"

5. So, if I follow the combined logic from the Repukes....

All porn makes you gay.

Gay marriage leads to socialism.

Ergo, porn is an evil socialistic construct!

[undeterred]

10. Does gay porn make you straight?

[4lbs]

11. No, because according the RW nuts, ALL porn makes you gay, even gay porn. (n/t)

6. Nuttier than squirrel shit.

7. And remember Princess Clara's warning:

[rasputin1952]

8. King is an idiot...

I bet he kisses the butt on a statuette of McCarthy he has on a shelf in his office every morning.

[droidamus2]

9. Oh yeah?

Then I suppose being Republican is the path to stupid!

[IADEMO2004]

13. I think greed is the gateway to the GOP. Stupid is the side door.

Steve king has to go

[Critters2]

17. That would require moving sane voters into the 5th district. nt

[IADEMO2004]

31. A "LOT" of sane voters need to move here.

Active 5th district voters

R 140940
D 98946
NP 126536


I have a cargo van to help move.

[burning rain]

12. Ironically for King, authentically socialist states,.....

like the Soviet Union, have been nastily anti-gay. (I sure don't mean the countries that thick people call "socialist," like Sweden.)

[Undercurrent]

14. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

I'm never quite sure if the repug "leaders" actually believe this sort of bull crap, or they are simply mouthing the talking points du jour. They can't possibly all be that stupid.

[undergroundpanther]

15. I think a more broad veiw of what constitutes a "family"..

Terrifies assholes like him.Assholes that have profited from the idiotic "nuclear family" concept,this limited veiw of family has caused alot of social erosion and it creates an atmosphere of isolation,apathy,atomization and helplessness. Exactly what the fucking twits want us to feel,if we are miserable,alone and unable to socialize or form our own kin networks based on what is healthy for each person themself, we will never have solidarity strong enough to see how the flawed and rigged system has turned our lives into a commodity to be exploited.

16. He is absolutely right.

So let's GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT ALREADY!

[harry_pothead]

18. The gays are coming the gays are coming!

Quick, vote Republican or they'll make you gay too.

[Ivan the So-So]

19. What DOESN'T lead to Socialism according to these wingnuts???

[quaker bill]

20. Guns

lots of them and requiring everyone to carry.

[damonm]

25. Don't fergit about JEE-Zus...

[polmaven]

21. I have never been able

figure out exactly how same sex marriage udermines "the foundations of individual rights and liberties." None of these whackos have ever clarified how it takes away anyone's rights at all.

Maybe I'm just not smart enough to figure it out. :shrug:

[Bluenorthwest]

22. Iowa! They elect this daft bigot?

Why?

[madmom]

23. To them, everything they don't like is a "path to socialism". It's the new wedge.

[Pharlo]

26. Well, based upon his generalized statement here,

All marriage, not just gay, leads to socialism. The whole concept of 'two individuals becoming one' is going down that slippery slope to socialism. Today, it's two individuals becoming one, next year, it's Everyone becoming one and sharing everything.

So, in short, Rep King is Anti-Marriage.

[AspenRose]

29. This is ridiculous

What's next?

**H1N1 is SOCIALISM!

**American Idol is SOCIALISM!

**Halloween is SOCIALISM!
(wait, Sean Hannity's already argued that, since we all know "Liberal" = SOCIALIST)

[jenmito]

30. THAT'S a new one! I guess he thinks if he links gay marriage to "socialism," people

will get angry about it since the whole "socialism" things seems to be catching on with the crazies. :eyes:

[tekisui]

32. Great! Let's hurry onto that path!

[Are_grits_groceries]

33. He is dog-whistling and using an agenda that's been around a long time.
