GOP Congressman: Spy On U.S. Mosques To Stop ISIS Recruitment

“Undocumented Democrats are more important to [President Obama] than national security,” Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King says.

Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King is calling for the U.S. government to begin spying on American mosques to stop ISIS’ recruitment efforts, charging the militant organization is actively operating in mosques across the country.

Although there is no evidence that ISIS is running a nationwide recruitment effort or using mosques as centers to target would be jihadis, King insisted the Obama administration must target mosques for domestic surveillance activities.

1. It's beginning to be news when King DOESN'T say something bigoted.

If we want to cut down on terrorists in America, we ought to spy on right-wing militias and the Cliven Bundy crowd. They are more of a threat.

8. They are an actual threat

whereas ISIS recruitment at mosques is an imaginary threat.

2. The hell of this story is Steven King is lart of the American ISIS group.

3. He's rotten to the core

4. King like a few others (Gohmert, Bachmann, etc) has learned saying these things get attention.

Potty training must have been quite a task for his parents.

5. Maybe the feds should send spies to churches in the south to check on KKK recruitment!

But of course that logic will just whoosh right by him!

6. That is what the NSA does. Or so they claim...

7. If he can prove this, let him show us what he has

Otherwise, the rat bastard should shut the fuck up.

9. he's been at this for years. why hasn't he lost his seat yet?

If there's any hope, see p. 5 of this poll that shows Steve King has only 47% of the vote in his district vs. 36% for the Democrat challenging him (Jim Mowrer) and 17% undecided. In 2012, King won re-election with just 53% of the vote, compared to 59% of higher in elections past from 2002 to 2010. Mowrer and progressive PAC's gotta work hard to expose King for the crank he is.
