John McCain’s presidential http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3241, who claimed that terrorists will be “dancing in the streets” if Democrat Barack Obama is elected president.

“The senator rejects the type of politics that degrades our civics, and this campaign will be about the future of our country,” said Jill Hazelbaker, spokeswoman for the presumptive Republican nominee.

“McCain could not be clearer on how he views these types of comments, and obviously that view extends to Congressman King’s statement.”

King, a three-term Republican from http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3299, made the comments to a radio station on Friday as he announced his bid for another term in the House, the Washington Post reported.

“I don’t want to disparage anyone because of their http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3736 might have been,” King said. “I’ll just say this: When you think about the optics of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected president of the United States — I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam?”

King then said: “I will tell you that if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this war on terror.”
