Except for the small detail that King's hearing isn't about questioning law-abiding American muslims, it's focused on the radicalization of American muslims. Why would a non-radical US muslim be offended by such a hearing? He's as likely to be killed by those nutjobs as anybody else.
King should have had a hearing on homegrown terrorism in general, then maybe the Muslims and their liberal apologists wouldn't get their panties in a twist.
As far as the hearings of homegrown terrorism in general, that is what many have been calling for since King first said that he would hold these hearings.
Comments about the IRS being "Big Brother", and his hate for the government certainly wasn't left wing.
The guy was a nut job and committed a terrorist attack. Domestic Terrorism, is Domestic Terrorism, whether by Muslims, the right, the left, or anyone else. If we are going to investigate radicalization and domestic terrorism, we should be doing it across the board.
Where do the left and right get radicalized to commit acts of terrorism?
I honestly think that liberals are at the root of trying to circumvent authority and order.
Don't delude yourself. The investigation of terrorism is being done by the relevant authorities. This is just grandstanding to drum up fear and win votes.

Back in the 90's the government had meetings/hearings and all sorts of things to focus on the militia movements in the US. This includes keeping close tabs on the wacko fundamentalist Christians who were fond of "compounds". Focusing on radical Islam (for now) isn't discriminatory - it's prudent and they are being treated like everyone else. I remember Christians crying foul when extreme fundamentalism was the hot topic too. If Islam is offended, then they can suck it up like Christians had too.
I see no harm in trying to investigate why so many American muslims are becoming radicalized.
Investigate something that needs only a quick look back at the foreign policy and political meddling in the middle east over last 50-60 years?
