I thought King used to be a RINO.

Peter King IS a RINO.

He has not credibility. Screw him.

I like PK; just got real pissed at him during the clintoon impeachment preceedings back in '98. He wanted to move on from that and leave clintoon alone while we wanted clintoon to move out of DC.

It's not necessarily a Democrat-Republican issue whether the broad mass of Muslims support terrorists.
This is really an issue on which many in the middle are taking sides, and Peter King seems to have opted for the forces of light. As he is quoted in the article as saying, the stakes are too high to be politically correct.

I think more and more people are coming to this conclusion. There was a stunning article in the Chicago Tribune about two weeks ago called something like "The Rise of Militant Islam." Although the article contradicted nearly everything written in the Tribune on that topic since September 11 -- and ultimately backed down by focussing on religious issues at one mosque instead of the terrorism issues that made the article necessary -- in my opinion they found that they just couldn't lie any more.

I'm not saying that King used to lie about this topic, since I don't know his record on it, just that -- like his constituency -- he is a middle-of-the-road Republican on most issues.

You can be a RINO, you can be a Dimocrat, and still be able to tell an Arab terrorist when you see one.
