The New York Times published a pretty devastating article Tuesday pointing out the disconnect between Rep. Peter King's jihad against American Muslims and the Republican congressman's own well-documented ties to the IRA — ties that he refuses to sever even when pressed. Hypocritical, much? Well, yes, but for Jammie Wearing Fool, it's not King who should be sweating in the face of the dreaded hypocrisy charge … but the Times:
So now to the New York Times the IRA is unequivocally a terrorist group. Not freedom fighters, not militants, the name typically reserved for Islamic terror groups. Their agenda is all too transparent: Peter King supports terrorists, therefore his holding hearing on radical Islamists in America makes him a hypocrite.
Well, yes, that's pretty obvious … right? Not so, kvetchs the Fool:
Memo to the Times: The New York City and Boston areas are filled with Irish immigrants and the sons and grandsons of Irish immigrants, with a countless number who either had ties or sympathies with the IRA.
