TPM:
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has elaborated on his comments last week that al-Qaida would be "dancing in the streets" if Barack Obama wins, saying that Obama would "certainly be viewed as a savior for them. That's why you will see them supporting him, encouraging him."Now we also have Kern in Oklahoma, with a conspiratorial off her meds tirade over The Gays.
Asked yesterday about King's comments, Obama responded that "Mr. King and individuals like him thrive on offensive or controversial statements as a way to get in the papers, so I don't take it too seriously. I would hope Senator McCain would want to distance himself from that kind of inflammatory and offensive remarks."
A spokesman for the McCain campaign disavowed King's remarks, but McCain himself has yet to reject King's support or otherwise weigh in on the subject.
PZ Myers:
Here's more pernicious ignorance that we have to deal with: this is Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern, benighted hate-monger, babbling lies.
...
Well, there is one part that is accurate, when she states that "We're not teaching facts and knowledge any more, we're teaching indoctrination", which is exactly right … at least in reference to her remarks.
