The Straight Jacket Award Of The Day For 2/22/10: In The Mind Of Steve King, The IRS Almost Got What They Deserve

This should be denounced by someone in the Republican Party pronto (though I don't expect it to happen anytime soon). Because it's more than Steve King just being the absolute lunatic he is:


Not only is King basically excusing the now dead Joseph Stack for his insane actions last Thursday, but he is also attacking the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with no thought of caution at his mind.

The calls for getting rid of the IRS and reconciling with Stack's motives from this man is plenty chilling stuff.

King's comment is so pernicious and harmful that it may have already won the Straight Jacket Award for 2010 in just February. It will be a top contender at year's end at the very least.

Normally it is worth a laugh when someone wins the Straight Jacket Award. But for today, the award is given out to a beyond frightening moment.
