Peter King: NSA Should Monitor Congress in Case They’re ‘Talking to an Al Qaeda Leader’

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Appearing on Fox News Channel on Sunday, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) dismissed members of Congress calling for the National Security Agency to reform its information gathering practices. He insisted that even members of Congress should be monitored by the NSA, just like every other American, in case they are “talking to an Al Qaeda leader in Iraq or Afghanistan.”

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Republican Peter King is the perfect example of the authoritarian NWO Globalist meatpuppets that infest our government. They are becoming blatantly open with their contempt for our Constitutional Republic.

[USNBandit]

Ironically he is an open borders type, as well.

[Bryanw92]

He’s a product of the War On Terror. After the first year, the whole focus of the WOT was with taking away our liberties in the name of “safety and security”. And most Americans thought that was a good thing.

Meanwhile, we’re building foot baths at airports so muslims can feel at home...in OUR home!

Gotta wonder if that was an unintended swipe at McCain ......

[null and void]

An Al Qaeda leader? Like Obama for example?

[Rodentking]

Frankly, I don’t care one whit about security; I want freedom!

[Viennacon]

So who monitors the NSA in case they’re talking to Al Qaeda?

He is absolutely one member of Congress that needs to be "monitored" at several levels!

[TheGipperWasRight]

I used to like Rep. King. He’s gone off the deep end of statism.

[Digger]

This is what happens when you go to the corrupt congress. Good men become criminals in a short time.

[CivilWarBrewing]

I hope he was being sarcastic when he said this.

[PhiloBedo]

Is he referring to John McCain?

[OneWingedShark]

So who monitors the NSA in case they’re talking to Al Qaeda?

Congress, obviously.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No, Pete King was a terrorist supporting, government loving loony long before 9/11.

[grumpygresh]

The ‘bad’ King proves that the first and most important amendment in an article 5 convention is term limits for congress, judges, and appointed Federal officials. No grandfather clause!!!

>>No, Pete King was a terrorist supporting, government loving loony long before 9/11.

That’s right. He was a loony before 9/11. But, he became the voice of a “secure homeland” afterward for many people who did not see that the muzzies can blow up a building or kill some people, but it is Congress and the out-of-control alphabet agencies who will destroy America. Many of them were right here on FR while Bush was president.

[oblomov]

Instead on spying on all members of Congress, spying on Andre Carson and Keith Ellison (and perhaps a handful of other Dems) should suffice.

[CMailBag]

Apparently Pete King has forgotten the 11th commandment.

[Theoria]

I wonder what the NSA has on Peter King with the IRA.
