Rep King Compares Immigrants To Livestock-Suggests Electricution
Iowa Rep Big Mouth Strikes Again
By Paul Kiel - July 13, 2006, 10:19 AM
Courtesy of this morning's Hill, I see:

It was prop time on the House floor Tuesday night when Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), making the case for building a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border, showed a miniature version of a border wall that he “designed.”

He had mock sand representing the desert as well as fake construction panels as C-SPAN focused in on the unusual display.

But it got really interesting when King broke out the mock electrical wiring: “I also say we need to do a few other things on top of that wall, and one of them being to put a little bit of wire on top here to provide a disincentive for people to climb over the top.”

He added, “We could also electrify this wire with the kind of current that would not kill somebody, but it would be a discouragement for them to be fooling around with it. We do that with livestock all the time.”

*Ann Coulter disclaimer: That was just a joke.

..."We do that with livestock all the time."

Bizarre Sex Habits of The Extreme Right-Wing
Reported by Ellen - May 06, 2005

Last night, anti-abortion extremist Neal Horsley was a guest on The Alan Colmes Show, a FOX News radio program. The topic was an interesting one - whether or not an internet service provider should allow Horsley to post the names of abortion doctors on his website. Horsley does that as a way of targeting them and one doctor has been killed. In the course of the interview, however, Colmes asked Horsley about his background, including a statement that he had admitted to engaging in homosexual and bestiality sex.

5. Of course, immigrants aren't any smarter than livestock and wouldn't
find ways to deactivate such fences...

We have to win in November. The human race depends on us.
