Peter King ( Muslim Extremism Hearings) check-in thread. Is Peter King a prick?

[Cyrano]

I thought Joseph McCarthy died 50 or so years ago, but he seems to be back with a different face and a different "enemy."

Republican representative Peter King is an opportunistic, miserable prick as far as I'm concerned. Agree, or disagree. let's hear your opinion.

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_T._King

King called himself "the Ollie North of Ireland."<14> King did not meet Gerry Adams until 1984, four years after his liaison with the IRA began <16> and before that his links with the IRA were predominantly with its military, rather than the political wing, Sinn Fein. At this time he was friendly with Michael McKevitt, the common law partner of Bernadette Sands, sister of the IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands. McKevitt was at the time a senior leader of the IRA and was its Quarter Master-General, in charge of arms acquisition. McKevitt planned a massive series of arms smuggling operations of weapons provided to the IRA by Libyan leader, Col. Muammar Gaddafi during the mid-1980's. During this time, King would stay in their home in Co. Louth while visiting Ireland and was also very close to the IRA's former Operations Officer in Belfast, Anto Murray, who was convicted in 1990 of kidnapping a suspected British spy. As Belfast Operations Officer, Murray planned or authorised every IRA bombing, shooting and killing in the city. King would stay with Murray and his wife Lucy during visits to Belfast and after Anto Murray was imprisoned, he hosted Lucy Murray on a tour of the Capitol when she visited the United States. <17> He became involved with NORAID, an organization that the British, Irish and US governments accuse of financing IRA activities and providing them with weapons.<6><18><19><20> He was banned from appearing on British TV for his pro IRA views and refusing to condemn IRA activity in the UK.<6>
