I'm muslim and I'm very affended by these hearings. Is it right that I be accused of something someone else did? Al Qaeda was created by the United States back in the Cold War, not by any Muslim society.

Geez, this guy. "Hey, I'm just staging some witchhunts. They will be motivated by race & religion but TOTALLY FAIR. Why are you guys making such a big deal about being suspicious of a disadvantaged minority identified by their race & religion? WHEN HAS THAT EVER BACKFIRED?"

I think Rep. King is making the risky play of going full on crazy, hoping that anyone who points out the historical parallels will be shot down via Godwin's Law. He's like Icarus, trying to fly close to the sun!

So, by King's logic the civilians killed in the attack on the Pentagon are not the fault of Al Queda.
As that was a military target.
The British Parliament should call him to an inquiry on American support for Irish terrorism. They'd rip that fat, stupid, hypocritical fuck a new ass-hole.

Isn't it freat how the NAZIS twist things here it is what 70-80 years and the rebirth of NAZISM in the guise of the republican party. After the TOTAL disregard for CITIZEN rights over the personal rights of ELECTED officials this NAZI, is now asking and promising fair play. Sorry once a Nazi ALWAYS a Nazi no matter how you cut it.

The NAZI republican party is over reaching its HATRED for anything different and its OBSESSION with the Muslims is a perfect example, Since their PARTY ENGINEERED the 9-11with certain International Conglomerates and United States Political Leaders the pressure has been on NOT to have ANY accountability and the PHONY make Believe 9-11 Report is shoved down your Wind Pipe to make you stop breathing.

The NAZIS known as the republican party ARE NOT to be trusted. look at Wisconsin as a perfect example. Look at the rules coming out the ABOLISHMENT of Government BY THE PEOPLE and Anti American Racist,Nazi CORPORATIONS being put in CHARGE.

This Nazi,Racist is a LIAR, you are aware that if you call me up and make a threatening phone call the FBI will arrest you for making a threat across State lines, DUH!, does the Patriot Act ring a bell? These Nazi, Racist are about STRIPPING you of ALL your rights and CIVIL RIGHTS.

Oh good god. Another nut job on here.

Yeah right you right wing White Trailer trash Idiot. I suppose you support the Nazi republican rights move in WI.. oops your to stupid to use critical judgment or think for yourself.. King is a White Supremacist,NAZI Bastard, if not he would have no trouble but to let the peole alone. However the NAZI agenda requires LIES and reinforcement of said lies with a whole bunch of Twisted Half Truths, that especially the White Trash Scum of the republican support base is to lazy to read about.
I don't see this Nazi,White Supremacist, SCUM BAG , TURD, calling for the indictment of the WAR CRIMINAL bush and the TRAITOR cheney who have REAL Warrants out for the ARREST. No this TURD would rather preach HATRED and Twisted LIES to justify his White Supremacist attitude. While your at it why hasn't he asked WHY the COVER UP on 9-11.

Yup. Anyone who points out your obvious mental illness and emotional instability is right wing trailer trash.

Please go refill you meds, crazy-pants. Because right now you're just making it harder for the sane people on here to argue exactly what is so wrong with these hearings.

The IRA are (were?) scum.
Anti-democratic thugs. Fuck them. And yes, plenty of unionists are (were?) violent murderous scum too.

Meanwhile lots of stupid fucking Irish Americans with romantic notions and no clue about what the IRA actually did on the ground, raised money to murder and intimidate people throughout Northern Ireland and England. There was more support of the IRA in the US than in the Republic of Ireland.

They should have just had a vote decades ago. Simple two line vote.
"What country do you want to be in:
1) United Kingdom
2) Republic of Ireland"

"1) United Kingdom" would have won, easily in every county in Northern Ireland. Not that that would have mattered to the murderous thugs in the IRA and their ignorant American enablers like Peter King. He has the blood of London & Birmingham on his hands, so fuck him, too.

I would remind you that the terrorists of the British Imperial Army killed a lot more civilians than the relatively few that the Irish Republican Army have ever killed.

I would remind you that the British killed Irish civilians in multiple colonial war of aggression spanning centuries, while the Irish People's armies has been defending their motherland from British Imperial invasion since the first British soldier stepped onto Irish soil.

I would remind you that this country, the USA, was founded on killing as many British troops as possible. "Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes." "Give me liberty or give me death!"

I would remind you that the British propagandists tried to vilify our brave Founding Fathers with slurs like "traitors", "rebels", the 18th century equivalent to today's "terrorist". The same smear campaign continues today with the British masters of propaganda.

Perhaps you didn't learn all that where you went to school.

Welcome to America, the land of the free, where in 1776 our "terrorists", the Minutemen, chased the bloody British Army back to Buckingham Palace, just like the brave men and women of the IRA did 200 years later.

I would also reiterate that the majority of people in Northern Ireland were, and still are opposed to leaving the United Kingdom.
Why that doesn't settle it, I don't know.

And I am in no way trying to justify the murders committed by the R.U.C., the UDL or even the British Army in the Bloody Sunday massacre, or even those prick who have Orange Order marches through Catholic neighborhoods (including in the East end of Glasgow! where they are ignored for being the backward, out dated idiots they are. Its a shame we can't do the same with you....).

"I would also reiterate that the majority of people in Northern Ireland were, and still are opposed to leaving the United Kingdom."

Welcome to America, Limey!

Now look up the meaning of an American word: gerrymander.

So, because my district in NY has been gerrymandered, I should go blow innocent people up in Buffalo?

Thats a proportionate response.

What would the Brits do if Germany invaded and took over the the north of England?

How many innocent German civilians would die that for encroachment?

And how many Americans of European ancestry should die for the invasion of North America 400 years ago?

Would it be morally just for native american groups to start blowing up bars or subway trains in NY?

The time frame is identical.

How many English people do I get to kill for invading my ancestral country 600 years ago and again 400 years ago, and then taking it over 300 years ago (its the one with the kilts, BTW)?

How many Irish to I get to kill for them displacing the Picts (another Celtic group - distinct from the Gaels) 900 years ago?

Can I kill Norwegians and Danes too? Because Vikings invaded as well.

At what point do we stop killing people because of the crimes of their ancestors or historic co-nationals and realize that the well being of actual living human beings is more important than nationalism based grudges?

You're Scottish and you're defending the Sassenachs? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Read what Rabbie Burns has to say about Scottish quislings like yourself, you poor, brainwashed bawbag:
http://www.robertburns.org/wor...

And no, I'm very much not Scottish. I'm American. A bunch of my ancestors were Scottish. And before all else, I'm a human, with a basic allegiance to the preservation of human life and human dignity.
Hence my revoltion at both British imperialism and modern Irish Republican terrorism.

And like nearly all Scots in Scotland, and Irish in Ireland, I don't think killing civilians because of historic crimes of their nation is a good or moral defensible policy.

Chants at soccer games? Sure thing. A little good natured ribbing? No problem.
Political movements to combat the mistreatment of Catholics by the Unionist government? Certainly necessary.
Blowing up completely uninvolved people in a bar in Birmingham? Not cool.

I guess I should just realize I'm attempting to argue the immorality of violence against non-combatants with someone whose basic view of the world comes down to "Irish - good" "English - bad!" Time to move on to discussions with intelligent humans. Some of them even the hated-sassenachs!

(the drunk mic part was a joke. those of Scottish ancestry, including myself, have been known to hit the bottle a bit)

It is not historic, my friend, when 20,000 British troops are currently occupying Ireland!
That's called current events.

Still waiting for your reply on what the English are to do if Germany invades and occupies northern England. Yeah, Burns sure has your ilk pegged.

Its not an occupation when its your own country. The UK isn't occupying Northern Ireland and the US isn't occupying Alaska.

I'll answer your hypothetical when you respond to any of my points with something other than pathetic Irish-American nationalism.

"Its not an occupation when its your own country. "
Ireland is not England. It has been invaded and occupied by the British Army, just as England invaded and occupied dozens of other free nations.

Hello?
American purchased Alaska.
Do your know anything about history?

Btw, in conclusion, I am not Irish-American.
I am not an American.
I am not Irish.
I am Scottish, and proud of it.

So go fuck yerself, lickspittle. You're a disgrace to the land of Bruce and Wallace.
