in King: Drill, drill, drill! on The Iowa Independent
The title of this article makes it sound as though Steve King said "drill, drill, drill" but it was actually some of his Fifth District constituents that were chanting it. Now THAT's spin!

CIM Network Unlike most of the rest of the comments on this thread, I think your criticism is fair. We have edited the headline to avoid implying that King said "Drill, Drill, Drill," because it was actually the audience who said it.

We do make an effort to treat subjects of our stories fairly, and we make all possible biases as public as possible to make sure that our readers know where we're coming from when they read our work.

When others respectfully criticize our work, we take it seriously. So thanks.

"...a secretive group advocating nationally ..."

Sounds just like the Center for Independent Media.

Follow the money, dismantle the lies and what do you have? More immoral, corrupt liberals.

in Rural Iowa Obama supporter says smear emails working on The Iowa Independent
From John Deeth's blog:

"Obama also dropped the name "Christ" a lot more tham McCain did. Nothing's ever going to kill the Muslim rumor; "Muslim" is just a way of saying "black." "

I think I get it now. Let me try:
Catholic means Asian?
Presbyterian means Hispanic?

Despite Doug Burns' attempt at spin, your two examples of King's racism aren't at all. What race, exactly, are "illegal immigrants"? And where in his Spencer radio interview did Steve King refer to Obama's glorious black-ness? It ain't there so you can chuck both those examples in the circular file.

The bumper sticker on the former Mrs. McCain's car is a drop in the bucket; McCain's ex still "adores" him. You can read it for yourself in a recently posted article on the Huffington Post - Google "John McCain's first wife".

Did I SAY it was okay that he left his first wife? You're the one who brought it up.

And are you calling me a racist in your last paragraph? Now there's a novel tactic from the left!

You guys gotta' get some new material.

in Obama Campaign Pushes Back Against Underground Email Attacks on The Iowa Independent
Can't open the picture. Is it a doctored photo or what? If not, how can a photo be classified a "false attack"?

I learned at Girls' State when I was a junior in high school that you put your hand over your heart when you say the Pledge or the National Anthem is played AND you don't take your eyes off the flag.

They must not have taught Barry that over in Indonesia. Go figure.

Hey, Steel Medic, did you happen to watch the town hall meeting between B.O. and McCain the other night? McCain admitted that the failure of his first marriage was his greatest moral misgiving.

And did you know his ex-wife has a McCain bumper sticker on her car?

By the way, I'm still waiting for you to provide me with ONE racist quote from Steve King.

Good one, Randall. What, are you in first grade now?

And isn't it the tactic of the Dems to compare Republicans to Nazis and the KKK? Have you no shame?

Just because seniors might not be too internet savvy doesn't mean they're stupid but thanks for talking down to them anyway.

Here's an easy one even our seniors should be able to comprehend: Barack Obama's senatorial experience adds up to a whopping 147 days.

Obama may not be a Muslim but calling him a "committed Christian" is laughable. He maintained membership in - and donated thousands of dollars to - Jeremiah Wright's so-called church for years and listened to him spew his hate. Anyone with a brain would have bolted years ago but not Obama.

And I don't know any committed Christians who would oppose legislation to protect delivered babies from being left to die (infanticide) let alone vote against said legislation THREE TIMES, even when every other big-name Democrat was for it.

Barack Obama is inexperienced, mentally deficient and morally bankrupt.

Laurie - you might want to practice debating using facts instead of vulgarities.

I don't know...Hubler would actually have to formulate some opinions on the issues if he participated in a debate. Pretty scary.

in After 5 months, King’s taxpayer-funded web site still features Obama slur on The Iowa Independent
Too bad! It looks like Doug Burns' one-man mission to unseat Congressman King has failed yet again.

Really, people, if I see the word optics in quotes by itself one more time as supposed proof that Steve King was talking about the color of Barack Hussein Obama's skin, I'm going to hurl.

Can you say 'grasping at straws'?
