Steve King may not live down anytime soon the controversial comments he made in recent days about immigrants to the U.S. from Mexico and elsewhere.
King is being dogged – no pun intended – by comments he made recently comparing immigrants to bird dogs, saying America has the “pick of the litter” when choosing who to let into the country. “They’re not all valedictorians,” King said.
King also went further in an interview with Newsmax, saying that Mexicans have calves “the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert” while they weigh just 130 pounds.
Comedy Central’s popular satirical host Stephen Colbert poked fun at the Iowa Congressman this week, showing snippets of video to his audience where King made his remarks. The audience booed King as soon as Colbert mentioned his name.
“Come on, we all say it behind closed doors… Mexicans have calves the size of cantaloupes,” Colbert joked. “Or honeydews, what have you, a breakfast fruit of some kind. A papaya or a particularly large grapefruit. The point is choosing the good ones.”
Colbert continued, saying “Los Latinos were offended by the immigrants as dogs analogy. Those people have such thin coats.”
I don’t know guys, we are not wild animals. In a zoo like America where where our families have chose to be for the last 500 years and for most families less, bears and wolves can be bread together and be all the stronger for it. That’s what happens in captivity, animals domesticate.
If your town is centered around your church and someone wants to worship with you, does it matter if they are a bear or a wolf if they share a like mind and the same fire in their heart. Ive known many colors of people and I find that I get along most with people that are my economic and educational peers. From there we have a common foundation that is deeper that a pigment that we have no control over.
If you want to defend a Fin’s right to live in a pure society, go back to Finland and enjoy that. This right here is America.
king = Wingnut! POS
You seem to know all about King, what is your name so we can talk about how smart and well informed you are?
“I think it’s perfectly normal and healthy to want the majority to be like you.”
C’mon, we don’t need a whole state full of all white trash.
I don’t think that it is that we don’t agree, most of the time I have a hard time following your train of thought, but that’s my problem.
That is some funny chit mon!
I understood your comments on that one. I guess that makes us both about 50 give or take 5 years
Colbert is very funny – and part of MSM in that he appeals to emotions rather than facts & reason.
love funnel is a perfect example to those that have bought into this as he/she traffics in name calling rather than facts.
Get serious about the real problems threatening America will ya??? It is not Mr. King. King is closer to the truth than a lot of others.
King’s district is like no other. It is a very odd and highly religious place. A certain Christianity based on the Republican party of sorts. They are certain Jesus was a right wing Republican.
It is the kind of district that can turn high school whores into super, ultra right-wing soccer moms and church volunteers…..who can then proceed to look down on YOU as the morally lacking one. lol
Well, what’s even more foolish are the large number of troglodytes RIGHT HERE who will make comments, like “King is just telling it like it is” “He’s just telling the real truth” and “we ain’t no fools! You is the fools!”
They want it their way. In Iowa as long as it’s all white, it’s alright. And this is the best part—> Because they watch FOX, Hannity and Rush they know they speak for the majority. Just look at the majority here, right?
I have said this before peter and I will say it again, very seldom do I agree with you but this time I do, I think.
