Allen West doubles down, turns commie comment into fundraising pitch

No reason a congressman can't turn a commie comment into capital, eh? From Congressman Allen West:

Dear Fellow Conservative,

You know I am not afraid to speak the truth.

That’s why I’m the number one target of liberals and their friends in the media who are going completely nuts about my comments at a recent Townhall meeting. I need your help to fight back and stand up against the corrupt liberal media as they attempt cover for their left-wing allies.

In response to a question about Marxists in Congress, I called out the Congressional Progressive Caucus for their extreme left-wing positions. I stand by the point of my comments and I need you to stand with me today by making a contribution of $10 or more.

The Progressive Caucus advocates for state control over industries, redistribution of wealth, reduced individual economic freedom, and the destruction of free markets.  Members of this Caucus lavished praise on Fidel Castro following a 2009 visit to Cuba. They have even introduced a constitutional amendment to redistribute wealth. 

You can call them whatever you want, but they point is, they oppose free markets and individual economic freedom, they are determined to empower government to redistribute wealth, and they want to see the nation fundamentally transformed. Their policies are destructive and I will stand up to them regardless of the critics.

We’re in the fight for the heart and soul of our nation. It's a fight we can win, but we must all be involved. Please stand with me by making a contribution today.

Thank you.

Steadfast and loyal,

LTC(R) Allen B. West
Member of Congress

Hi, I'm Allen West and I'd like your support to make sure that anybody, epecially nosey employers, can demand your FACEBOOK password whenever they feel like it and you have no right to refuse. That way they can monitor your postings all the time. In fact, they can screen your friends as well since you clearly don't have enough common sense to do it yourself. I'm Allen West and a free enterprise and slave labor kind of guy. Send me as much money as you can spare so that I can continue antagonizing everyone and generally making a fool of myself at public expense.

Smoking crack makes you paranoid, Allen!

It's not "going completely nuts" to call out a bald-faced lie. In the words of Bugs Bunny: "Wotta maroon."

I don't think his comments were stupid, he is just stating the facts. You all are obviously the liberals he is referring to! Allen West for President!

West is a radical rightwing nut case - one and done!

Rep. Allen West is as toxic as the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India. I don’t know what kind of mental deficients voted this maniac into office but they need help. Like the Dow chemical poisons that are STILL killing children in India, West spreads his infectious hate speech and tilted propaganda. Like some right-wing nutcase straight out of the 50’s McCarthy Era, West is pointing fingers placing the Communist label on his fellow Americans.

This very ignorant man doesn’t even realize the Republican Party he belongs to had a huge role in selling out the American worker to the Communist Chinese just so a bunch of silver spoon trust fund babies could make more money from Asian slave labor and easy toxic waste dumping. West pays no mind to reports that the Chinese government has been working against the American dollar since the start of the War in Iraq in 2003. (See Keiser Report on the news network RT, April 13/14, 2012)

West takes pleasure in his taunting Progressives hoping they say thing like he resembles a piece of s*** with a MC Hammer haircut. (lol) But I’m going to stick to the facts. I am somebody who fights against right wing nutcases spoact.blogspot.com

Progressives in congress are like Roosevelt's appointees who went on the Soviet Union and thought it was a workers paradise and helped Roosevelt implement socialist/communist polices. Gerbils propaganda machine masked all level of of evil especially when it came to the Jews. Tell me Bam Bam dose not have a propaganda machine when he takes Regan's words way out of context to move his own polices. So Josey, when gas is at $8 and all small business stop hiring and interest rates go back to Carter era 16% and inflation is at 10% see what kind of great progressive ideas pushed us to the brink.
