greater distraction than fear it's been so effective in the past and it's being used again today here's of peter king had to say today i remain convinced that these hearings must go forward and they will sit back down to be a craving for vengeance of political correctness and an abdication of what i believe to be the main responsibility discriminate to protect america from a terrorist attack so despite what passes for conventional wisdom in certain circles there is nothing radical well un-american and all of these hearings. pay no attention to the billionaire trying to buy your city's water or power systems to turn a quick profit instead focus on your neighbor the muslim and his wife and kids and a part of a sleeper cell that wants to watch your house. by the way your odds of dying in a terrorist attack in the united states are about one in nine million to put that in perspective you're three hundred times more likely to be shot by some random guy with a gun then in a terrorist attack yet you won't see republicans holding any hearings on gun violence but peter king isn't doing anything new here
