Into the Fever Swamp

Into the Fever Swamp

Yesterday Rep. Steve King (R) of Iowa was revealing that the movement to legalize same sex marriage was a stalking horse designed to usher socialism into the United States. Today he went to the well of the House of representatives to deliver a lengthy speech claiming President Obama is the chief organizer and leader of ACORN.

He even debuted a new custom work of Socialist Realist art to dramatize the point.

Late Update: Or not so custom. It turns out it was a cover from the National Review from a few months ago.
