Steve King Often Tells Young Children Parable About Gunman Shooting Them

by Jack Stuef  

This frightening eye goo is the last bit of intelligence retreating from his brain.According to Steve King, Steve King likes to tell young schoolchildren a story about a strange man walking to their school and sticking a thing of his through the door of their classroom. No, not that thing, a gun! And then the gunman shoots children like them. This happens all the time, he says. And it’s called abortion. Children need to stop abortion if they don’t want to be shot. “Where do you stand on the abortion issue?” he asks. Do they want to be shot?

So this is a classroom full of fetuses this man shot into? Why is this public school educating fetuses? What a very socialist waste of time. Those fetuses should be shot, because they’re wasting tax dollars that really belong to rich people. [Gawker]

What a dick.

But we already knew this.

Lascauxcaveman January 3, 2011 at 5:08 pm

Ooh, Steve, I've got an analogy that you'll like too. Use this one next time you're talking to some grade school kids: Abortion is just like when a US soldier walks into a suspected "insurgent safehouse" and shoots the living fuck out all the women and children there, because it's actually a daycare.

You like that one? You gonna use that one?

jjdaddyo January 3, 2011 at 4:05 pm

What a taxpayer-supported douchenozzle….

SorosBot January 3, 2011 at 4:07 pm

Well of course if you invite Stephen King to a school he's gonna tell the kids a story that will scare them half to death; whoever invited him should have expected this.

Now the district will have to spend socialist money hiring more counselors to aid PTSD.

HedonismBot January 3, 2011 at 7:58 pm

And mechanics to rid the district of killer cars, and circus psychiatrists to rid the district of killer clowns, and toy experts to rid the district of killer toy monkeys… Damned Stephen King.

PresBeeblebrox January 3, 2011 at 8:38 pm

And janitors to clean up buckets of pigs' blood, not to mention contractors to rebuild the school after it's destroyed by a pissed-off psychokinetic teenager.

Fukkit. Probly cheaper just to burn the building down. That's what they get for stealing staplers.

Dashboard_Jesus January 3, 2011 at 9:56 pm

Question from naive 1st grader: "Mr. King do you believe the lives of every man, woman and child killed by our War Dept in Iraquistan is as precious as yours and mine?"

Rep. King (Retard-NY) :"Obviously NOT, cuz they was brown, Muslin fetuses (fetii?) and everyone knows theyz worthless!"

Gratuitous World January 3, 2011 at 4:09 pm

i guess now we know who "Paula" is.

Blendergoathead January 3, 2011 at 4:09 pm

I think Rep. King may be confusing the *concept* of abortion with what abortion *opponents* actually do to stop abortion – you know, shoot people.

As was said before… what a dick.

Sophist FCD January 3, 2011 at 5:28 pm

Hey, he's a republican. As far as they're concerned, the government's responsibility to protect its citizens starts at conception and ends at birth. Unless you're rich of course.

MarionNYNY January 3, 2011 at 4:09 pm

Well with logic that absolute, shouldn't we also go back to stoning people for eating shellfish?

SayItWithWookies January 3, 2011 at 5:01 pm

Not to mention shelling people for eating stonefish.

Sophist FCD January 3, 2011 at 5:31 pm

Shelling fish for eating stonepeople?

cobweb2 January 3, 2011 at 5:04 pm

No, we are no longer required to stone people for eating unclean foods; Jebus OKed that, but He never gave His permission to wear cotton/polyester blends; "And youse shall know them by the cotton-Lycra socks on their feet and youse shall drive them from your midst with stones (no rocks, gravel or brick bats {See ancient Book of Permissible Projectiles} ).

Sophist FCD January 3, 2011 at 5:39 pm

"And youse shall know them by the cotton-Lycra socks on their feet and youse shall drive them from your midst with stones"

Wait, Jesus is from New Jersey? This explains so much about Christianity.

FlownOver January 3, 2011 at 4:10 pm

So, lemme get this straight… If you don't oppose abortion we'll send a guy with a gun to your school to kill you.

Yeah, that's the same message this crowd has been spewing for some time now.

ManchuCandidate January 3, 2011 at 4:10 pm

Based on the typical "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude of GOPers, I'm betting that Steve King does enjoy fantasizing about shooting fetuses and other small defenseless things. After all this is the same moran (sic) who bragged about shooting a raccoon with a Desert Eagle Automatic (.357 or .44 Magnum) which is major overkill (all you need is a .22.)

genxr January 3, 2011 at 4:15 pm

Desert Eagle is a .50 cal, the most impractical handgun ever invented. There are only 2 possible reasons to own one:

1) You're shooting a movie called Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
2) You have too much money and a misplaced penis fixation

imissopus January 3, 2011 at 4:43 pm

3) You're Neilist

Neilist January 3, 2011 at 4:57 pm

Isn't No. 3 ('You're Neilist") a lesser included of No. 2 ("You have too much money and a misplaced penis fixation")?

You know, one of those Venn Diagram kind of thingies?

But seriously: The Desert Eagle, or any .50 cal. handgun (e.g., the S&W Model 500), are stupid. You don't get that much extra muzzle energy (over the classic .44 cal. Mag.); the rounds cost more; and the recoil causes you to lose the sight picture and any chance of a rapid second shot.

The S&W 500 is marketed as a "bear gun." Maybe against Winnie-The-Pooh. But against a grizzly, you'd be advised to file off the front sight. That way, it won't hurt as much when Mr. Ursus Arctos Horribilis shoves the empty gun up your ass.

P.S. That Winnie-The-Pooh is a dangerous customer when he gets drunk. Which is often. That's why Piglet got that surplus .357 cal. Sig-Sauer P-229 from the United States Secret Service.

I had an asshole former boss who loved to tell the story of him shooting a raccoon with an AR-15 in his boxers and boots up in cleveland. I think he just lifted king's story.
What kind of an idiot lets off an AR with neighbors within a half mile, while half-naked?
An asshole, that's what kind.

Swampgas_Man January 4, 2011 at 9:20 am

The hell was a raccoon doing in boxers and boots? Did he escape from the circus? (Could refer to either the raccoon or your ex-boss.)

Stick all the people who voted for this creep in there, too. Seriously, what's their excuse? Can't they find a representative who's against abortion on moral grounds without being such a major asshole?

I would worry about the children being damaged, but I know when I was that age I didn't listen to anything adults said. I thought they were ALL crazy.

I don't know where the Loess Hills are, but that imagery was just beautiful if I'm imagining it correctly. A bunch of Hawkeyes in native dress (overalls and mud boots) all holed up in wind-swept grassy hills with their assault weapons, and stockpiles of Yellow Gold (i.e. corn) to hold them out until reinforcement arrives from the Dakotas and Michele Bachmann's crazy-ass district in the north…

Conservatives don't want us to teach real sex education but abortion is an ok topic. And yes, education and eating healthy food is socialist wrongness- you don't get your free diabetes supplies,your hoverround and life with 14 relatives in a doublewide that way.

My Catholic Grandmother told me, as a child, that abortion was the worst thing in the world because it was when people would murder a baby and then throw it away. I was shocked at this fact and would go with her to clinic protests.

Then when I was in 5th Grade someone told me that abortion was actually when a woman decided to terminate her pregnancy. I was shocked again! Next time I saw Grandma I told her that we didn't have to be against abortion anymore because it wasn't about killing babies because, as even a 9 year old child understood, it isn't a baby until it is out of the Mommy's tummy.

Maybe someone needs to explain this to Steve King.

DoktorZoom January 3, 2011 at 6:52 pm

So what you're saying here is that a 5th grade teacher told you that Abortion was OK? Time to purge the schools of these nefarious God-haters!

HempDogbane January 3, 2011 at 4:27 pm

John Gilmore blogging at Minnesota Conservatives:

"What, then, are the social issues? The tiresome ones, of course. Abortion, same-sex marriage, and, well, that's it, isn't it?

Abortion will never be illegal in America. No, the analogy to slavery is not apt. Conservatives should shun ridiculous groups like Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life. MCCL is mostly concerned about paying its ossified staff good salaries. They save no unborn. They take you for and treat you as suckers. Do not enable the charade to continue any longer. Give your money and time to the the Catholic church or any other legitimate group that reaches out to real women in real distress. You will be doing good. Don't forget to try to act like Christ either. Tough sledding but that's what you signed up for."

SorosBot January 3, 2011 at 4:33 pm

"Give your money and time to the the Catholic church or any other legitimate group that reaches out to real women in real distress"

And also reaches out to children, putting them in real distress.

HempDogbane January 3, 2011 at 4:46 pm

Yeah, I thought the same thing. He deliberately sets out to piss off all the "conservatives" and then can't imagine suggesting a religious charity like Lutheran Social Service that's without the child-fucking baggage. And then he mentions Christ. Of course, Christ didn't drink massive quantities of bad coffee and eat lime jello, either.

revmod January 3, 2011 at 5:10 pm

I know nothing of John Gilmour and Minnesota conservatives beyond what I've read in this exchange, but I'm willing to offer credit for the point I think he's going for: preventing abortion is more effectively done by offering financial assistance to women in need than it is by showing The Silent Scream and murdering ob/gyn doctors. And I'm completely with him on the second point – there's a whole lot of conservative Christians who could stand to act more like Christ.

SorosBot January 3, 2011 at 5:15 pm

It's also a lot more effective to make sure women have easy, affordable access to birth control, but strangely most of the alleged anti-abortion crowd is actually against that.

Dashboard_Jesus January 3, 2011 at 10:21 pm

"Don't forget to try to act like Christ either. Tough sledding but that's what you signed up for."

Fees. Y' See, Fees are like a regressive tax, but you don't call it a tax, you call it a… Fee. If you suddenly raise auto registrations several hundred dollars, you are raising a Fee, not increasing taxes on people with the poor and middle class bearing most of the cost and a disproportionate share(relative to their income of it as well. Selling off public services like water and streets to private concerns that gets you off the hook for quality and delivery of service and not only drop your government expenditures, but line the pockets of the creeps that bought your seat in the legislature for pennies on the dollar of worth. There's lots of ways to shaft the public for private enhancement!

Radiotherapy January 3, 2011 at 5:30 pm

donner_froh January 3, 2011 at 10:51 pm

Oddly enough that sounds exactly like the privatization of TelMex. If the Texans are emulating Carlos Slim they are learning from the master.

V572625694 January 3, 2011 at 6:59 pm

As the article says, an impecunious Texas doesn't fit the prevailing meme-stream media narrative of profligate, job-killing blue states and business-friendly red states, and therefore gets little attention, whereas all the negatives in California are seized upon by those seeking to explain the impossible contradiction of why they live where they do, instead doing the rational thing and moving to California.

In fact states and municipalities effectively can't renege on their bonds or fail to pay cops and teachers, so there won't be any general breakdown of civilized society (beyond that which has already occurred).

But it will be entertaining to see Texas join the ranks of "beggar states," and see if they have the sand (as Mattie [also off topic] puts it in the wonderful Coen Brothers' movie "True Grit", which I saw yesterday) to quit medicare or stop funding public schools. Austin will probably do just what Sacramento has done, and make specious assumptions about future revenues, collect some taxes earlier, and anything else necessary to avoid pay cuts for society's most important social workers: prison guards.

I think Mr. King is making perfectly good sense…basically he is telling the kids that if they support abortion rights some half-cocked wingnut douchebag (probably named Steve King) is going to blow your little peckers off with a giant .50 caliber handgun. Sounds about like the GOP platform doesn't it?

GOPCrusher January 3, 2011 at 5:33 pm

Sadly enough, it does sound like the Operation Rescue Mission Statement. We will stop abortion doctors from killing fetusus (fetii?) by blowing up abortion clinics and killing doctors one at a time.
Odd, at a time where we are supposed to be in a War On Terror or War on Religious Extremism, these people seem to get a pass.

The bad thing about Fetus Hunting is that they don't really "do" anything when you hit them. Rats squeal; rabbits cry; bottles break. But a fetus just . . . sits there.

SorosBot January 3, 2011 at 6:16 pm

He may have offered her a choice, but this is the same god that drowned the entire world because people pissed him off, sent a bunch of plague through an empire and eventually killed a bunch of children just because he was mad at their king, tormented one of his most faithful followers and killed his family just to win a bet, and was scary enough that one of his first followers was willing to kill his own living son just because he said so. With all that power and the implied threats being his request, you're giving Yahweh a little too much credit for not raping her like some other gods like Zeus did with most of their mortal "conquests".

Maman January 4, 2011 at 12:29 pm

That is the old testament dude. I am pretty sure Jesus was supposed to be about love, faith and forgiveness.

Have you ever noticed that Christians who bitch about things like the poor or the sick or gays inevitably use an OT argument? Its like they don't trust JC.

HistoriCat January 4, 2011 at 5:18 pm

No one trusts a hippy!

LionelHutzEsq January 3, 2011 at 4:51 pm

Steve King will refuse to rest until the right of all fetuses to carry arms is upheld. Let's face it, if you were a fetus being aborted, would you not want to be in the position to return fire?

chascates January 3, 2011 at 4:51 pm

Once all schools become charterized the kids will learn this from their regular teachers and King's parables will be webcast to the infidels (non-Americans).

Radiotherapy January 3, 2011 at 4:56 pm

As written in the Constitution. Right, douchebag?

JustPixelz January 3, 2011 at 4:57 pm

He's just stating Repubican doctrine: Life in the womb is sacred, outside the womb you're on your own, kiddo.

For instance, would he support increased education spending so those kids can compete in the global economy? How about health insurance reforms so those kids are protected from disease or injury? Perhaps, he would favor extending unemployment benefits so their parents can buy food.

We all know the answer — the Repubican answer to all problems — is "no, no no, also lower taxes, I love Reagan, 9/11".

prommie January 3, 2011 at 4:57 pm

Man, shit, haven't you memorized Full Metal Jacket like every other male in Amurrica? There are "rifles" and there are "guns." THAT thing, that you said the dude didn't stick into the classroom, thats a gun.

real_dc_native January 3, 2011 at 9:58 pm

I think it goes back further than that. I remember my WWII veteran uncle telling me:
"This is my rifle.
This is my gun.
One is for killin'.
the other's for fun."
(He was teaching me to hunt and didn't actually show me his "gun." simpler times).

Anthr_DCLwyr3d January 3, 2011 at 5:01 pm

"Right to life until their natural death"….so….King must be against the death penalty, surely…

chickensmack January 4, 2011 at 1:23 pm

not his fault the human body acts as a resistor.

Is it too late to abort Stevo?

BarackMyWorld January 3, 2011 at 5:11 pm

We need to get government off our backs and into the uterus where it belongs.

Ducksworthy January 3, 2011 at 5:16 pm

I think its time we get al this out in the open. The problem isn't abortion. Before Roe v. Wade the right to lifers were campaigning against contraception (thus helping to ensure a robust illegal abortion business). And as Bushy Xtine has taught us, masturbation is a sin. The thing is, every sperm is sacred. Each one is a little homunculus designed in Gawd's image. And every one of them deserves to be implanted in some undeserving womb. How does that bible verse about Onan go, "better to spill your seed into the belly of a whore…"?

user-of-owls January 3, 2011 at 6:17 pm

What are you, some kind of homu?

SayItWithWookies January 3, 2011 at 5:17 pm

Hell, if King is going that far, why stop at the moment of conception? I mean sperm and eggs are life too, aren't they? Or is he just prejudiced against human life that has only half the chromosomes? The best part about that is that he gets to feel righteous about putting women who've had miscarriages in jail for negligent homicide.
Additionally, if we're going by strict citizen-at-conception rules, then people should be eligible to vote when they're 17 years and three months old — which should please some people since that would be the age of consent as well. But I'm sure a man as intelligent as Mr. King has thought through all the repercussions of such an interpretation.

Ducksworthy January 3, 2011 at 5:35 pm

Sperm and eggs should all have the right to vote (the Founding Fathers knew nothing about chromosomes) and that way the sperm will be able to out vote the eggs ensuring a permanent republican majority (except, wait, some sperm have only an X chromosome so we don't know how they'd vote.)

WriteyWriterton January 3, 2011 at 5:36 pm

Logic + Irony = Pearls before Republican swine.

V572625694 January 3, 2011 at 7:19 pm

Fetuses of course also have Second Amendment rights from the moment of conception. "You can have my gun when you use your forceps to pry it out of my partially-formed flipper/hands!"

problemwithcaring January 3, 2011 at 8:11 pm

Drinking wine before the second trimester is punishable by death (after the delivery of the new citizen-orphan, of course.) Family-values Conservatardism!

BarackMyWorld January 3, 2011 at 11:54 pm

I mean sperm and eggs are life too, aren't they?

And stem cells. Also.

i thought in his world guns were good.

Sophist FCD January 3, 2011 at 5:48 pm

No, I suspect that in King's Weltanschauung very "urban" people are restricted to putting those kids in the classroom in the first place, and the dude with gun is likely to be very, very "kosher" (or possibly very "halal").

bflrtsplk January 3, 2011 at 5:51 pm

Sometimes a gun is a metaphor for that thing. Sometimes, that thing is just that thing.

An_Outhouse January 3, 2011 at 6:05 pm

When I was in grade school (3rd or 4th) the nice nuns that ran the asylum told us stories about the evil commies bursting into schools and nailing the kids tongues to their desks. People believed bat shit crazy shit even before the internet!

V572625694 January 3, 2011 at 7:20 pm

Are you saying it wasn't true?

OneYieldRegular January 3, 2011 at 6:13 pm

If my kid was in that classroom, I'd be calling the cops.

court5346 January 3, 2011 at 6:17 pm

Can't wait for his neice/daughter/some ladee he knows needs an abortion. They're either going to be the exception to the anti-abortion rule–because I am sure they are rich and white–or he'll blow them away. The anticipation is killing my unborn fetuses!!!!

Every sperm is sacred, doncha know. Except for negro and Arab sperm, of course. I'm sure it's OK with the ghost in the clouds if those two categories of His mistake abort away.

bflrtsplk January 3, 2011 at 7:50 pm

Them thar sperm are sacred, y'all. Congressman King needs 'em for target practice when they grow up to be black and terrist, doncha know. Well, sometimes before they grow up.

Let me get this straight: A Republican is in favor of gun control?

Sue4466 January 3, 2011 at 7:13 pm

I'm sure Steve King believes he just said something deep and profound. He is mistaken, though.

neiltheblaze January 3, 2011 at 7:26 pm

Oh yes – I love the moment where his interviewer was listening as King warmed up to his bizarre analogy about the gunman shooting into a classroom without looking or whatever, and the guy was nodding, in awe of the sagacity of what he was hearing – as if to say, "Now there's an air-tight analogy. Who could dispute that?"

These people have the brains of anvils.

Sue4466 January 3, 2011 at 7:33 pm

I don't want to listen to him again, but doesn't King even say something like "there's no response to this"? Again, he's mistaken. It's just the response isn't as trite as what he's saying, so he's not capable of grasping it and, thus, assumes it's not there.

DashboardBuddha January 3, 2011 at 7:37 pm

I'm surprised Steve didn't say he saw Michelle Obama out behind the abortion clinic shooting fetuses in a barrel.

FlyOverGirl January 3, 2011 at 8:12 pm

Sweet! I can't wait to play that on Facebook.

genxr January 3, 2011 at 7:41 pm

That's great Rep King. Now explain to the kids what we are doing in Iraq.

I'll give you a hint. It's pretty much the same thing, except we are literally busting down doors and shooting everyone.

Pragmatist2 January 3, 2011 at 8:09 pm

No, when the guy with the gun is urban, he just has his daughter go on a "trip to the country".

aguacatero January 3, 2011 at 10:25 pm

In case anyone was wondering, no, Steve King does not represent the Iowa vibe that pop folk chanteuse Dar Williams sings about in her song, "Iowa."

donner_froh January 3, 2011 at 10:40 pm

I had started listening to the clip–after about 20 seconds my wife put down her book and asked "Who the hell is that, some TV preacher?

When I told her it was a distinguished member of Congress it made sense–listening to the entire thing would violate the UN Convention against Torture.

lulzmonger January 4, 2011 at 12:59 am

Perfect analogy – if all the kids' mothers had asked for the gunfire, it was totally non-random, & the kids had spent their whole lives in an isolation tank, were each one millimeter long & had tails.

A while back some conservative Christian folks came up with the snappy slogan "Kirche, Küche, Kinder" to define what womanhood should entail – ironically, they wound up shooting up (& bombing) quite a few schools to prove their dedication to Traditional Family Values.

Negropolis January 4, 2011 at 3:49 am

Bravo! Nice skirting of Godwin's Law, there.

This is exactly why teachers need to be required to carry handguns in the classroom.

Bi-yat! Two crazy birds with one crazy stone, ya'll.

I couldn't bring myself to watch the video. There are but a handful of politicians that I can't watch in action because they make me want to immediately strangle them, and he is one of them.

It's like after the Virginia Tech shootings and the NRA was clear on their response: Arm the Coeds.

neiltheblaze January 4, 2011 at 7:11 am

King is like a Palladino who made the cut.

transfatz January 4, 2011 at 4:14 am

I remember all of this. I was a fetus and a strange man poked his gun through the door. That must have been a borshun. Then he shot but I didn't get hurt. Just a big wad of sticky white stuff, that's all.

Oblios_Cap January 4, 2011 at 8:29 am

So Steve King teaches the little children by using parables. Why, he's a regular Jesus Christ!

HistoriCat January 4, 2011 at 5:24 pm

If he wants to go all the way with the Jesus Christ emulation, I'm sure we can put together a crucifix for him.

Ugg_the_Repug January 4, 2011 at 9:20 am

Telling children what to think OK if you totalitarian a**hole. Har har har.

"We need to do a few other things on top of that wall, and one of them being to put a little bit of wire on top here to provide a disincentive for people to climb over the top or put a ladder there." King said in displaying his design. "We could also electrify this wire with the kind of current that would not kill somebody, but it would be a discouragement for them to be fooling around with it. We do that with livestock all the time."

-Steve King on the border fence

All life is sacred, indeed.

Soylent Green January 4, 2011 at 3:56 pm

That makes TWO things that shouldn't walk into a school to begin with: 1.) gunmen 2.) Steve King.

Pregnancy is your punishment for having sex. If affordable access to birth control were allowed, it would be the government's way of encouraging people into giant orgies. Can't have women enjoying sex now, can we?
