So now even the crazies don't want King

[Bluzmann57]

A Colorado Republican by the name of Cory Gardner has cancelled a fund raising appearance by good ol' Steve King after King's remarks concerning Obama's alleged "favoritism" toward African Americans.
The link is entirely too long to type out so just go to www.qctimes.com and scroll to Iowa news. Then scroll down a bit. Headline reads "GOP Gardner nixed campaign appearance by Rep. King."
Just want to add that a tea party rally, something like "Remember in November" also cancelled King's appearance. So if the teahadists don't even want him, I think that says it all.

Representative Steve King won't cancel his planned trip to Colorado this weekend, even though the conservatives he had planned to help don't want to be associated with him. Via Swing State Project's morning news roundup I found this Loveland Connection article following up on the controversy over King's recent comments on race. King is not backing down on his claim that President Barack Obama's "default mechanism" on race "favors the black person." As I discussed yesterday, the comments prompted Colorado Congressional candidate Cory Gardner to cancel a fundraiser King was supposed to headline and got King uninvited from a Northern Colorado Tea Party rally to be held in Loveland. From the Loveland Connection piece:

King said he called both Hollywood and Gardner on Tuesday after their cancellation announcements.

"I have spoken with her and Cory Gardner both, and neither one of them disagreed with what I said or the position I have taken," King said in an interview.

Gardner's campaign manager, Chris Hansen, flatly rejected King's characterization of his conversation with the Northern Colorado congressional candidate: "That is not an accurate reflection of Representative Gardner's views," he said in an e-mail.

Hollywood was interviewed Tuesday morning but couldn't immediately be reached for comment after King's interview.

The Iowa congressman said he told Gardner and Hollywood he'd be in Colorado on Saturday.

"I pointed out to them that I'm coming to Colorado, that's in my schedule and they'll have to figure it out from there," he said.

He declined to elaborate on his weekend plans: "We will make some arrangements so that works out to be effective."

A spokesman for Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, a Republican Senate candidate who also will speak at the Loveland rally, also rejected King's statement.

"His comments do not represent the Tea Party," Buck spokesman Owen Loftus told The Associated Press.
