MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 6 January 2009. Rep. Peter King lies repeatedly about Obama and Obama administrations use of the term 'terror.' In a Quick Comment, Keith mocks epically, King, Hoekstra and others' Republican mendaciousness.
OLBERMANN: "A question from Mr. Stephanopoulos about the unconnected dots in the Detroit plane plot: 'Name one other specific recommendation the President could implement right now to fix this.' The answer from Mr. Peter King, congressman representing the bullies, the gangs, and the ogres who live under the bridges of Long Island, New York: 'I think one main thing would be to just, himself, to use the word terrorism more often.'
Yeah, the 26 times he's used the word or a variant in his five statements on the terrorism just have not been sufficient. They have not been sufficient if, like Congressman King, you were trying to induce terror in the American Public. If you were trying to make sure that we fear fear itself. But let me instead answer Mr. King on his own terms. Twenty-six uses are not enough? Let me employ 27, but do so honestly:
You and your terror-obsessed political party, Congressman King, use terrorism and the terrified fear of terrorism to try and terrorize Americans into the terror that there is a terrorist attack on this terror-threatened country every terrorized day. You terrify the easily terrified into a false terror over whether our terrorized counter-terrorism effort is terrifyingly inadequate, and how only terror-conscious Republicans can save a terrified nation from the terrorizing Democrats who should be terrified that you call them terror-less and who should become terror-ful with terrifying speed. That in using terrorism as a terrifying political brand name, you are doing the terror work of the terrorists, holds no terrors for you.Twenty-seven.
You do know what the dictionary cites as the antonym for the word 'terror,' don't you Congressman King? Calm. Try it sometime. You'll seem like more of a grown-up."
