Sen. Angus S. King Jr., Maine independent, said in an interview with Salon magazine that conservative groups campaigning against Obamacare are “guilty of murder.” ....
“That’s a scandal — those people are guilty of murder in my opinion,” Mr. King said Friday. “Some of those people they persuade are going to end up dying because they don’t have health insurance. For people who do that to other people in the name of some obscure political ideology is one of the grossest violations of our humanity I can think of. This absolutely drives me crazy.” ....
“The bottom line for me is 15, 20, 25,000 people a year die in this country because they don’t have health insurance,” he continued. “Enabling more people to get coverage is not just common sense, it’s humane. To me it boils down to a moral question, and that is would you allow someone sitting in front of you on the subway to die, or would you take some action — call 911 or a doctor or do CPR yourself. Most people would say no I would not allow someone to die. You have to realize that as a society we’re answering ‘yes’ to 25,000 a year who are dying before our eyes and saying we don’t care.”

“Sen. Angus King: Obamacare opponents ‘guilty of murder’”
What folks seem to be missing is the rhetoric, which is designed to foment hostility, and even violence against anyone who would dare express conservative principle, or even register to vote as anything but a liberal/socialist.
What this guys is really saying, and it’s totally in line with the rhetoric from every other Democrat leader, is that “It’s ok to kill people that would take away your free stuff”
Call me crazy, but that’s been my takeaway from this whole debacle - a considered push through their rhetoric to prepare the populace for the purge and murder of political opponents.
Gee, I surprised none of the LSM and the 0bamabots said Jesus supports 0bamacare, yet.
And you murder eagles...
King was also involved in a wind power utility company, Independence Wind, co-founded with Robert Gardiner. In August 2009, Independence Wind along with joint venture partner Wagner Forest Management won Maine DEP approval for construction of a proposed $120-million, 22-turbine, utility-scale wind power project along a prominent mountain ridge in Roxbury, Maine. To avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, King sold his part of the company after he entered the 2012 U.S. Senate election.
Who murdered who exactly?
Is this the ghost of Rodney King talking through that idiot?
“Senator King Guilty of Hyperbole!”
Looks like Ted Turner, not a compliment.

I must have missed his name being on the top dumbest senator’s list.
