Steve King vs. the Humane Society

[douglas9]

Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King does not think the Humane Society belonged at the National 4-H Conference, held in late March. The congressman issued a press release yesterday to "inform 4-H leaders and members of the extreme anti-animal agriculture agenda of HSUS."

1. A lot of farms dogs come from The Humane Society. King is batshit crazy, but we already knew that.

2. Batshit crazy is far too generous for King...n/t

4. Is it a prerequisite to be batshit crazy

to be Republican? They park all common sense and reason at the door before spewing their blather. It gets very tiresome.

6. Their platform is at odds with reality.

Fictional talking points require constant repetition, and that leaves 'em very little time for talking sense, which most of them are too lazy to do.

3. Oh, that Steve King. The other scary fiction writer.

Although the one who wrote Carrie is usually more believable.

5. Haha, love it

"What's the difference between Congressman Steve King and Stephen King the author?"

One write horror fiction and incites terror in the population. The other is a New York Times best selling author."

7. The Humane Society isn't just about dogs, Mr. King ...

... they do care about the treatment of other animals as well. Sheesh.
