Andrea Mitchell talks with Rep. Peter King about concerns over the accidental mailing of anthrax to 19 labs in the U.S. and an American military base in South Korea. King also responds to Rand Paul's remarks that ISIS was created by Republican hawks.

King, Graham, Santorum, Christie, Jindal...

Paul has all the right enemies. Take note, primary voters.

The unfortunate thing for Paul is that the left can easily just sit back and watch the right eats it own, but now Paul just needs to stay on the offensive and strike back. None of this turn the other cheek nonsense. Call out your opponents for who and what they are, but with facts.

I agree he needs to destroy these people intellectually

Not enough people paying attention now. Save the really killer soundbites and arguments for the debates.

Everyone is paying attention now, they are especially paying attention to the polling for the debates- and it will only cause more blowback. The more blowback he gets the more headlines he gets and the higher he is in the polls. He is still less of a household name then bush or clinton, and he needs to get his name out there any way he can. It can only help him at this point to contrast against all those crazies running for the nomination.

 

[Ronin Truth]

If you do Pete, then Rand doesn't.

 

[nikcers]

If you do Pete, then Rand doesn't.

They broke the 11th commandment, and then accuse him of breaking the cardinal rule of putting our people and our military in danger dishonoring veterans everywhere. He needs to double down on the fact that they have made us less safe and have gotten more of our people killed then 9/11

 

[wizardwatson]

Boy, they're really giving him crap over this.

All we need is for Rudy Giuliani to chime in to make the GOP disgust for Rand's heresy complete.

My advice, Rand, is to go even further now that they're all talking about you. That's what your dad did.

Show 'em how the Paul's do it.

Ultimately this is the "blowback" police all over again.

 

[nikcers]

Show 'em how the Paul's do it.

He wants to define the party, the party he is trying to define is dying he needs to shoot it, put it out of its misery and be the leader that the American people want. If he doesn't want to get drowned out by all of these clowns he needs to put them down a notch.

For Lawmaker Examining Terror, a Pro-I.R.A. Past

WASHINGTON — For Representative Peter T. King, as he seizes the national spotlight this week with a hearing on the radicalization of American Muslims, it is the most awkward of résumé entries. Long before he became an outspoken voice in Congress about the threat from terrorism, he was a fervent supporter of a terrorist group, the Irish Republican Army.

“We must pledge ourselves to support those brave men and women who this very moment are carrying forth the struggle against British imperialism in the streets of Belfast and Derry,” Mr. King told a pro-I.R.A. rally on Long Island, where he was serving as Nassau County comptroller, in 1982. Three years later he declared, “If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the I.R.A. for it.”

Oh good find. Peter King supported the IRA a terrorist organisation

 

[Anti Federalist]

Oh good find. Peter King supported the IRA a terrorist organisation

Yes, yes he has.

 

[specsaregood]

Yes, yes he has.

I can't wait until the day Randal busts that out as a retort.

 

[Working Poor]

I am so torn about how to help Rand. I know money helps but I also know I have influence in my social network. I ask people a lot if we are going to let the media elect the President this time too. The media is already saying anyone but Paul. So many people are so influenced by the media it is going to be a tough fight for sure. I am hoping I can come up with a good meme other than "Stand with Rand".

As long as Rand is specific and personal. If he is striking back at Peter King, use his name. Don't be coy and use broad language. That runs the risk of offending people Rand is trying to win over.

 

[acptulsa]

If Rand Paul doesn't belong in the GOP and Peter King does, then the GOP doesn't belong in the White House.

 

[Thor]

That Rand Paul is a real scoundrel....

Not.
