Steve King's Blind Followers

I don't know why, but I am continually astonished at the blind allegiance that Steve King's followers give the man. For example, in today's mini-editorial on the front page of the Sioux City Journal, the writer attempts to deflect criticism of the really stupid things King said last week -- by making another lame joke about Helen Thomas. Boy, that's the way to show those godless liberals: make another joke about the appearance of an elderly journalist!

Earlier in the week another letter writer to the Journal made basically the same point in another defense of King. Obviously neither has seen the new Steve King website: KingWatch.org. If you want to defend King, try using facts and logic instead of smearing one of America's great journalists.

KingWatch gives you plenty of hard facts about King (as well as a few sharp opinions!) For example, did you know that King has accepted campaign money from a PAC that was formed to protect cockfighing? Or, did you know that King has said that he'd love to build the anti-Mexican wall himself, and "I'd make a ton of money doing it."

All of these facts are online for the world to see at www.kingwatch.org. Perhaps if King's blind followers read it they will realize that their "leader" is taking them over a cliff.
