Okay, now will Wasserman-Schultz apologize for what she said in the well of the House?

She started it, she should have apologized first, then West afterward.

We will see whether she has any class. And we will also be watching to see if she pulls this stunt again. If she wants to make a partisan attack against another representative, she should drive down the street to the DNC HQ and issue her attacks from there.

Allen West believes that liberal women weaken men by stealing their precious body fluids.
Allen is scared.

Wasserman Schultz aides said there had been no apology, and West’s office adamantly denied the report and demanded a retraction.
“In fact, we’re waiting on an apology from her,” Sachitano said.

You bet you did.  You came across as an abusive bullying male.

“She started it!!!” “My dad makes more money than your dad!!!”

Then again, this is the guy who thought neoconservative meant a liberal who thereafter became a conservative.

That is the original and primary definition of a neoconservative: neo- (meaning new) + conservative, a new conservative, as opposed to one who was always a conservative.

But, back to the current question: will Wasserman-Schultz apologize for her attack on West from the floor of the House? And will she pledge not to do it again?

No. Neoconservative contrasts with paleoconservative (i.e. Pat Buchanan), the anti-free trade, less pro-war branch of conservatism. Nice try on the semantics game.

Sounds like you are a racist.

DWS, is a spenetic lib miscreant, but West should have tempered his remarks.

Paleoconservative is another branch of the conservative movement, which sometimes draws on the thinking of pre-Eisenhower Republicanism. Paleocons seem to be a dying breed — you mention Pat Buchanan but I challenge you to name any others. I can’t, offhand.

Neoconservatives are very different, but they are not defined by the paleocons — they are not the opposite of paleocons. They are former Democrats or former socialists or former leftists — they are converts to conservatism. But they are not any monolithic group either, with considerable differences between them over foreign and domestic policies. Many still retain some of their original left-wing ideas — they may be fiscal and foreign policy conservatives but liberal regarding social issues. 

Nice trying to change the subject.

Sexist!

Not my idea, Stonepark. “he started it!”

It seems as though this story and all the commentary is based on a mistaken report. So I am unsubscribing.

The initial report came from the Huffington Roast, so I would wait for evidence like that supposed recording.

West may have gone a little teeny bit past being civil, but what do you expect when dealing with the DNC?

I think they should settle this the old fashioned way, pistols at 50 paces!

Col. West is an honorable man.  He might apologize for how he said it, but I don’t think he should apologize for calling her out for her unprofessional behavior.  Wasserman is like Weiner.  No honor, all partisan.  

or he believes a congress person should act responsibly and with honor. Remember he is a military guy, he’s used to honor and people being held to professional standards. We should all expect that from congress…

why, because of his skin color?  He came across as a person calling out a colleague’s unprofessional behavior.  Unlike Wasserman, he told her directly via email, not on the house floor like a child.  He spoke the truth about Wasserman, she’s extremely partisan…

Right. He’s an honorable soldier, who was nearly court martialled for his dishonorable conduct in Iraq. And the irony of West, writing a dishonorable and sophomoric flame to DSW, and running to House leadership, all because of a floor debate? What a wanker. Saying that West expects others to act with honor, while he is acting like a petulant 4 year old is rich, really. There was no personal attack in DSW’s remarks on the floor. His pathetic email flame was all personal because he is so thin-skinned and such a political neophyte that he can’t stand up for what he is told he believes in. Just another chicken-$h1t teabagger.

Wasserman-Schultz criticized West on policy; he responded with personal insults. Only one apology is necessary here and it should come from West.

I think Nature Freak is referencing the movie “Dr. Strangelove,” Stonepark.

What she said on the floor was personal and it was vile.

But there is more to this story. She has had it in for him, more than any other Republican in the Florida delegation. This was not the first straw, but the last one for Allen West.

She needs to apologize to him, then maybe they can work out a truce. But he has made it clear that if she wants war, she will get all she can handle.

Though DWS did not “name” Congressman West (she was too cowardly), it was obvious that Congressman West was the target of her lies on the floor of the House. To pretend otherwise is disingenuous and is, itself, a lie.

Women on the Left attack conservative women routinely and viciously and screech about “being treated equally,” yet they want dispensation to lie and slander any political opponent and claim victimization.

DWS exhibits the worst traits of our gender and she does not get to verbally assault either Congressman West or anyone else and expect them to lay down and take it. I’m sure her husband is “whipped potatoes,” but the rest of us do not need to be.

should have just called her a asshole and been done with it

She is a twat. A cunt. No better words to describe this heinous bitch.

Don’t do it Allen!

I can’t stand her, but that’s a bit harsh.   Let’s leave the hateful rhetoric with the liberals where it has a comfy home. 

No I think we will just leave the hateful stuff to your side. Thanks, your side.

Yes Col. West is an honorable man who was nearly slapped with a 5-12 DD which is usually reserved for soldiers who kill unarmed prisoners. Again as I have said before Allen West is a disgrace to anyone who ever had the honor of wearing the uniform.

Yeah Col. West is definitely Gen. Jack D. Ripper’s real life doppelganger if there ever was one.

Bullcrap.
Debbie Wassername Doltz has been smearing West with disgusting, vile, personal attacks since the day he entered politics. Here’s just two examples:
“…he’s (West) recently jumped the shark of crazy,” Wasserman Schultz said.

Wasserman Schultz said of West: “He (West) thinks it’s OK to objectify and denigrate women,” attempting to play the “guilt by association” game.

Show me any other Congressman she has so disgustingly attacked on such a vile, lowly level? Show me any White man she’s ever attacked in this way. She’s a racist who has problems, one of which is having a strong Black man represent her neighboring district.

Seriously, do some Googling…that scr*nt Debbie Wassername Doltz has been saying the most rotten and vile things about West since the day he announced his intention to run for Congress. She obviously has some serious problems and she’s been dragging West’s good name through the gutter with personal attacks for awhile now.

There’s something the matter with her if you follow her actions concerning West and the only plausible explanation is his skin color since she’s never treated anyone else like garbage the way she does to West.

It’s amazing how the leftist media operates that they’re giving her a platform to act like she’s above everything, when it’s her vile behavior which is at the bottom of everything. She flat out called West crazy, used guilt by association to smear his character and organized a mob at his office.

Works for me. But don’t worry, she’s a total nut and a leftist bombthrower so she’ll flame out in a similar manner as Weiner and Grayson did.

Wasserman’s fake outrage always gets me so hot….

Oh, I know all about the witch, I also get West’s weekly emails. The guy keeps his constituents informed of everything he does. The man is efficient and honorable. I think he should of been just a little snarkier when dealing with her. Get the other side to get defensive. This is the parameter that these marxists play. She has been using Saul Alinsky tactics on him. The best thing for him to do next is to get to the podium and counter every one of the slime’s talking points while she is there in the house. Confront her directly in the house and see if she has the spine to come to the podium. He would destroy her.

Like I said, pistols at 50 paces sounds good to me.

He told her directly via e-mail instead of on something that is on videotape for anyone to see on C-Span?

Obviously you know nothing about “professional” behavior on the House floor.

But good for him.  He’s such a big man he sent her a message “directly” via e-mail over it.

Will C-Span cancel their wall-to-wall coverage on books this weekend, just so we can see all the “spiteful” and “vile” things she said about him?

LOL, what a joke.  Welcome to politics, to both you and West.

There was nothing that she said was offensive in any way.

You mean like West did.

Fake outrage?  More like cunning disapproval.

She’s a pro and she got the hothead to blow his top.  Didn’t he just declare war a few days ago in his weekly email?  lol

She may be a liberal racist. She seems to treat him with a special disdain.

Whatever it is, she owns him (no pun intended.).

Cunning?  The #1 (was tied with anthony weiner) hate-filled liar of congress???  She can lie with a straight face better than any other creature in congress.  THAT is her only credit as ‘professional’.

And thus continues the entertainment portion of the proceedings.  This is all political dick waving akin to professional wrestling.  There is no story here, other than two loud mouth congresspeople trying to one up the rhetoric for campaign contributions. Are you not entertained? 

She has spent a lot of time insulting and attacking West, and Republicans. She has thrown around many insulting terms, and now wants an apology? HA

http://www.patriotactionnetwork.com/forum/topics/wasserman-schultz-west?commentId=2600775%3AComment%3A4830392&xg_source=activity

She said Republican-backed ID requirements and limits on early voting in Florida showed that the GOP wants to “literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws.” She said Republican policies amount to waging “a war on women.”

I laugh out loud when I read the lefties are “outraged” by his comments.

Miss Debbie is a racist who has attacked west time and time and time again; she also hates conserative women and she has made that clear time and time again.

Her hatred is perfectly acceptable to the left, but when the right speaks back, they are the aggressors?

it is clear that anyone who criticizes West forhis remarks is a racist, including Miss Debbie and all her liberal idiot defenders.

racists, one and all.

Never believe anything from HuffPo. Why should Allen West apologize to mayonnaise-hair Wasserman-Schultz, anyway?

The public does not know who she is. Now all they have seen is her on the floor of the House, and if you do not listen to the words then she seems perfectly nice and pleasant. Part of her job is to maintain a perfect public personna and to avoid being turned into the face of the Democratic Party in the 30-second ads.

She criticized West on a policy position.  Why should she apologize for that?

It is very common for one party to accuse the other of wanting to destroy America, or starve children, or throw Grandma off a cliff.

But it is against the rules of the house to make an accusation against an individual member of Congress. And that is what DWS did to Allen West. She does this all the time, apparently, but never before from the well of the House.

you don’t have to “believe” it since there is a sound recording of him saying it….

And do not minimize the value of being a good liar. It got Bill Clinton elected to the presidency twice. All the best politicians are excellent liars.

“UNCLE TOM” Once again opens his big mouth, what a PUNK!!!!

Are you crazy you expect the right wing nuts to accept Facts even if its on Video!!!! 

“literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws.”
Literally? Does she know what that word means? 

And does she know that the Democrats were the party of segregation, of the Klan, of lynchings, and of filibusters against civil rights and voting rights legislation?

Nearly, meaning he WASN’T.

Rep. Wasserman-Shultz said on national television, June 12, 2011:

“We were able to, under President Obama’s leadership, turn this economy around.”

Do you feel that the ecomomy has turned around? 

A statement so completely at odds with the facts and the situation shows that she is clearly out of touch with reality and everything she says should be considered unreliable.

See, you’re being sarcastic, but Tommy actually did scream sexism.  What a joke!  If telling the truth about someone is sexist then so be it!

HAHA, yeah that’s it.  At least Conservative men have body fluids to begin with, unlike liberal men who all appear to have been neutered. 

And here I thought the “Pledge to America” was going to take care of all that!  What happened?

And here I thought the “Pledge to America” was going to take care of all that!  What happened?

And here I thought the “Pledge to America” was going to take care of all that!  What happened?

Didn’t I already answer that question three or four times?

She attacked West personally on a policy issue. She accused him of wanting to harm senior citizens. 

It would be entirely proper for her to do this anywhere else except on the floor of the House. But the rules of the House prohibit this kind of personal attack.

west the tea party fool is gone after his one term in congress.

IMO Debbie need never apologize since teabagger west is in the wrong.  No Congressperson should denigrade another.  SHE did no such thing.  HE did.  Simple.

Let’s hope he doesn’t fire a gun over HER head as he did before being drummed out of the US military.  Fact.

Do you even know the meaning of “vile” ?

Frankly, he deserves to be criticized.  IMO

this comment is off the mark, IMO, since HE is the person then who should know better than to show out as a sexist and a bully.  IMO

I know that- but he is still a racist.

Mediaite gets burned again drinking from the HP fountain.

Great analysis. West needs to develop tougher skin, but DWS is justified in her offense. She was playing politics, but he crossed a line of decency.

“Uncle Tom”? In the book “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” he was portrayed as a noble and heroic character.

I noticed that in another thread, you called Donald Trump a racist. Why shouldn’t we describe you as one, for criticizing Allen West using racial language?

You just hate blacks. You racists are disgusting.

Most Liberals are too stupid to know anything about Uncle Tom. They throw it out there because they hate blacks and want to denigrate them.

Nicely said!

He is finished, Jewish voters in florida will not be supremely displeased with him, and women will have more cause to vote against him. The violent moron is done, his inability to control his emotions will do further damage to him in the coming months.

I have a question for you, exactly how much money do you think he will receive from the RNC when his actions begin to reflect in the polling?

Colonel West, DO NOT apologize to that guttersnipe.

“Violent?” LOL. He called the hag out for her remarks. Big deal. She needs to put on her big girl panties and deal with it.

You mean like Marcus Bachmann?

Did you listen to the tape, starting around 50 seconds? 

Also, do you know how lame it is to use the words “teabag” or “teabagger”?

Lt.Col. West’s story is here — people can make up their own minds whether they support what he did.
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/27/world/struggle-for-iraq-interrogations-colonel-risked-his-career-menacing-detainee.html?pagewanted=print&src=pm

Nell, a lot of people probably agree with you. But the House of Representatives has rules of decorum for a reason, and if DWS is allowed to get away with a personal attack from the floor, then where will it stop? 

She needs to apologize first; then he can apologize for what he said. After that they can work out a truce. 

He sent his angry email to three people in addition to DWS. So while she attacked him on CSPAN, his email went to four people and was not intended to be made public.

Remember, Tina, that DWS attacked Congressman West from the floor of the House, in violation of House rules of decorum, in full view of the CSPAN cameras

But West’s response was an email addressed to DWS and only three other people, and not intended to be made public. 

+1 ^^^

“vile, despicable, unprofessional… not a
lady… coward”–

This dispicable “thing” is all of the above and certainly is not a thing to be respected.  She gives the Congress a bad name.  Congressman West has always been the gentleman that he is.  She just goes too far, and he was finally fed up with her.  I get so disgusted everytime she speaks on television.  She needs to be chastized in Congress.  Allen West is an American hero.  Wasserman is a wuss.

What big girl panties? Washermouth Schultz is an out-of control buffoon with a big loud mouth who throws around baseless charges, e.g., Allan West has now “sexually harassed her”, and if anyone needs to apologize it’s her.

If Washermouth Schultz ever had an intelligent thought it would undoubtedly die of starvation.

Absolutely.  West went waaaay over the top.  He was rude, disparaging, surly and bombastic out of all proportion when her remarks were about his policy and not personal.

Personally, I think he needs anger management classes.

Why are none of the “women” demanding an apology for Bachmann or Palin?  Talk about personal attacks…even on Palins toddler.

Not to mention the president….but we know better than that!

If we manage to save our country from obama and his socialist ilk you’ll thank us chicken-$h1t teabaggers one day….if not wonder how your wife will look in a burka?

or at least ask her to comb her hair before she comes to the floor… 

If that were true, the “Tea Party” wouldn’t exist.

How does that reply make any sense?

Shhh…don’t confuse him and he might slip back into obscurity quietly.

Schultz is akin to a pitbull and makes incendiary comments toward Pubs all the time-I wouldn’t apologize-I would tell her to KMA.

Ah..the “Teabagger” moniker. If that is what we are, you must be the tea cup….sooo, open wide.

Many consider me to the right of Reagan. I sure can’t stand Debbie Wasserman, but calling her some of the names I’ve seen on this blog is exactly what the liberals have done to Sarah Palin and others, and we conservatives get in an uproar about it. Shouldn’t this, in itself, be reason enough for us to give reasons why the liberals are wrong but refrain from the name calling such as Smithy did? Also, it is obvious here that most blame the one who is “on the other side” without giving proof of what either did to start this. If Debbie had been after West before this, show it. This would put more substance in what you say.
