Fox’s Liz Trotta: Rep. Allen West’s Reputation As ‘Big Biker’ Spawned Sexism Charges

video
» 119 comments

Those looking for fodder with which to label Florida Republican Rep. Allen West sexist, the most recent of which being his email rant to DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz calling her “vile” and “not a lady” (though his misunderstanding of the lives of Spartan women is definitely up there). In her weekend commentary today, however, Fox News contributor Liz Trotta avoided the usual gripes, instead bringing up the unusual complaint that being a “big biker” have led some to call him “anti-women.”

“It must be that the heat has gotten to everybody in Washington,” Trotta joked, explaining the current scuffle between the two Congresspeople, for which neither has made a move to bury the hatchet yet. It all began, explained Trotta, with “a Congresswoman from Florida, a Democrat, Debbie Schultz-Wasserman [ed. note-- close enough], whose talking about her fellow Rep. Allen West, a Republican,” got her in trouble. She joked that his response that she was “not a lady” had a “quaint, sort of Southern nature” about it, quoting a Washington Post blog describing it as something out of Jane Austen. She also laughed at the fact that both Representatives had “immediately used the material in the fight for fundraising, which is just terrific.”

Trotta finally got to the sexism claim after a quick reminder that these two have a history, given their neighboring constituencies and such. “Col. West is a big biker and writes a biking column for a magazine,” she noted, “and that was suggested as being anti-women.” Huh?

Turns out there is something to Trotta’s claim, though some explanation, instead of just throwing the biker claim out there, would have been a nice courtesy to the viewers. Via Time:

Wheels on the Road has used extreme language in discussing Wasserman Schultz. The July 2011 issue featured a rant about the congresswoman by a columnist named “Nasty,” who more than lived up to his name, calling the Democrat “Debbie Wasserman Shitz.” An October 2010 issue, in which West had an unrelated column, included a obscene tirade on Wasserman Shultz in which a contributor named Willie Woo asked readers to “imagine” intercourse with the congresswoman.

The magazine, which regularly shows women exposing their breasts, still displays a photo of West on its website and calls him a “contributor.” But West’s spokeswoman says he has not contributed to the magazine since he took office, and that when he did, his columns did not contain anything obscene.

So fear not, being a “biker” is not a new euphemism for hating women on its own. Trotta’s commentary via Fox News below:

    I have a DD214, so I may be entitled to comment on Representative West’s display of ribbons on  CIVILIAN attire: it reminds me of photos and occasional cartoons of Soviet dictators and their cronies’ doing the same thing.  Even if protocols say it’s ok for retired military to display medals that ways, I don’t think I’d do it.  (SIDEBAR:  I’m sure that Representative West’s medals were earned and deserved, but on occasion I was told that I could acquire medals at the BX, Air Force lingo for PX,  just because I was assigned to units that had performed valiantly in previous wars.  Weird).

    The commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division on Friday
    accepted a U.S. military investigator’s recommendation and ordered
    administrative action against Lt. Col. Allen West, who was accused of
    using improper methods to force information out of an Iraqi detainee.
    Following a military hearing, West was fined $5,000 over two months, according to West’s civillian attorney, Neal Puckett….

    Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the 4th Infantry’s top general in Tikrit,
    could have rejected the recommendation and ordered a court martial. If
    he were to be found guilty at a court martial of the two articles
    against him, West could have faced 11 years in prison, a military
    prosecutor told CNN.
    The case stems from an incident August 20 at a
    military base in Taji, just north of Baghdad, when West was
    interrogating an Iraqi policeman, who was believed to have information
    about a plot to assassinate West with an ambush on a U.S. convoy.
    In
    testimony at an Article 32 hearing — the military’s version of a grand
    jury or preliminary hearing — West said the policeman, Yahya Jhrodi
    Hamoody, was not cooperating with interrogators, so he watched four of
    his soldiers from the 220th Field Artillery Battalion beat the detainee
    on the head and body.
    West said he also threatened to kill
    Hamoody. Military prosecutors say West followed up on that threat by
    taking the suspect outside, put him on the ground near a weapons
    clearing barrel and fired his 9 mm pistol into the barrel.”

    West has associated himself with a biker magazine that no one would call ‘treats women with respect’.  In the magazine Wheels on the Road, a columnist named “Willie Woo” referred to Wasserman Schultz in derogatory sexual terms, misspelled her name to have it sound like excrement, and alluded to her religion by describing her as a ‘yenta,’ a Yiddish term for a female busybody or gossip.

    An October 2010 issue that he contributed to also ran a piece that said, “Can someone PLEAZZZZZZZZE get rid of Debbie Wasserman Shitz?…That yenta annoys the crap out of me with just her whining voice. Guys, can you imagine banging her (UGGGGGGGGG) and she’s screaming at the top of her lungs!!!”

    If the congressman doesn’t want to carry the reputation of magazines he writes for, he should disassociate himself.  Otherwise, as far as I’m concerned he reflects these same anti-women sentiments.

    Debating is not what she was doing (can’t debate someone who isn’t there). She intentionally trashed him behind his back like a typical libby coward. Have you aver heard him in Congress trash someone and run away? He is military. He doesn’t do that.
    You said “i would have approached him like this on the house floor….’.Congressman…sit ya sorry black ass down…” and then a comment ” West is a big ole black bully trying to intimidate women with threats of violence. ” ….well you might as well have said “I AM A BIG  RACIST” ! And BTW that is a lie – he never threatened her with violence.

    If you cannot be honest and are only going to counterpost with garbage and racist crap do not bother, your posts will be ignored. It is obvious you post only to incite as a libby loser.

    i am retired military and what a lot of riders would call a biker. 
    most bikers treat their ladies like queens.  these ladies have to have the heart and loyality  to stand by their man and alot do not. no disrespect meant 
    now his way of questioning a detainee. he saved american lives without killing the guy, he may have scared him silly but it worked with no physical harm  and is no where near how they torture and kill american soldiers. unless you have been in a combat situation you have no knowledge or a clue about what is going on, my advice is to go enlist and ask for a combat unit over seas.
    unless west himself called schultz shitz how in the world can you blame him for it , this is kinda like your neighbor saying something and you getting blamed for it.
    i do not like west as he was an officer but he did serve his country the best he could and did a fair job

There is no justification for him using the street crap language because he was angry with Debbie. I hope he learns many can play that game, to his daughters, to his wife, and to all the robot GOP women who condone this kind of gang language. Well we do know he can beat up people. That’s why he isn’t in the military anymore. Any one who condones his sewer mouth is no better. Boy, we’ve got some losers in Congress these days.

    whatcha think????  I think U are so full of it that you have a total sh—- out look on life. Col. West protected the lives of Many U.S. service men & women and did NOT harn that man in doing so. I’m not 100%  sure that you have the facts correct. Granted he did shoot the pistol close to the man… but you
    might want to look at the report to see where it was pointed at the time he fired in.

    Thank You Col. West for asstisting in keeping our service people alive.  And I truly thank you for your service to out country both then and now. Please keep up the good work. And keep calling it as it is in Washington D.C.

  • Jerry Baustian

    Allen West was not forced to retire. He chose to retire because, with an NJP on his record, he would most likely never be promoted — and after an officer spends X number of years at the same rank then he has to retire. But West could have remained on active duty for many more years before this would have happened.

    It is also likely that he would have not been sent back to a combat zone, and for an Army infantry officer this is like the kiss of death. Instead he would have been assigned to some boring desk job, and that is what he found intolerable.

  • Duane

    Wow at first I thought it might be worth my time trying to make you understand – NOT.  Let me just say unless you were lucky enough to have worked with the Col., you have no idea what you are talking about. The man’s treatment of All people assigned with him over seas was equal. Black, White, Men & Women, everyone was treated the same.  As any good Lt. Col. in the Army they are willing to tell it like it is!!!

    And right now Ret. Lt. Col./ Rep. West is willing to tell it like it is. If someone is Stupid enough to keep jabing at you -  it comes a time that one must stand tall and tell it like it is. And we’ve seen that our Rep. for the 22nd dist. in FL. is the right man for the job of telling in correctly – like it or not – he’s a good choice for the job. In fact he’d be the right man for a much higher spot within a trusted government. But that woul take cleaning out the White House of all the less that honorable people there now…

    Now that is the funniest.   Neither of you seems to understand the heart and will of a BLACK Army LTC.  The lady would do well to go pick on someone else,  this man is not some liberal wusss and he will make sure if she wishes to continue,  she will be accommodated.

  • HawkCW4

    So your suggesting they go to England and start over?  

  • HawkCW4

    Assuming for a sec what she said was correct and it wasnt.   You liberals still cant resolve the idea of legal and right.   Just because legally you can do something,  that does not make it right.  She was absolutely out of line and has been for some time.  Resolve that.

    Seen recently on the back of a t-shirt worn by Ltc. West:  “If you can read this shirt, I shot a gun near the head of my bitch and she fell off”

  • HawkCW4

    Yea prob not a good idea,  It didnt work last election either.  

  • HawkCW4

    You know Cobra,  I served a long time.   I can tell you the military did many things that were just plain wrong.   In the case of West,  the military facing the whining from pacifists on the left had to distance themselves and so you got to see a clear example of CYA when they asked West to Retire.  They put their personal futures above Wests and what was right.  Yes the military has its share of weak people who get promoted beyond their ability,  and many cant stand real men such as LTC West.

    At least West didn’t accuse Wasserman-Schultz for racism. If it was a liberal black politician, well, you know the story!

  • insideguy

     Oh for gods sake is this really important? She said it she did it big freaking deal. I don’t care really like I said i know what the rules are she broke them oh wow what a travesty. These morons who run congress cant get their combined act together for one second on anything and this is what we are worried about? I think freaking west should come back right on the floor and say I challenge you to a duel mrs wasserman shultz mccarthy lennon ringo and john. Then they can have a cool debate where he calls her racist and she calls him sexist blablabla. How about working on something important.

    Cobra, the president of the United States does not routinely get involved in cases of military justice — he allows these investigations to be conducted by those who are assigned. So just because George W Bush did not put a stop to the investigation does not mean he though Lt.Col. West was guilty — he most likely never heard the man’s name. Just like Rupert Murdoch never knew the names of the low-level workers at the News of the World, even after he was informed that some of those people had been arrested.

    Allen West is bully and a punk, and no UNIFORM or RANK changes that status in my personal opinion. 

    Second, you went after ME in a post I was incapable of responding to.

    “You love the freedom but you arent man enough to earn it.  War is hell, 
    War against Terrorists is War without honor, and to suggest that only
    those who fight to preserve innocent lives must adhere to your twisted
    ideas of warfare is insane.   When the first killer strapped a bomb to
    him/herself and walked up to a group of innocents and blew them all to
    pieces,  ALL honor left the battle field.  Those who whine and interfer
    with getting the information that saves innocent live should be charged
    with treason.   YOU DO GIVE AID AND COMFORT TO OUR ENEMY>

      The United States INVADED and OCCUPIED  IRAQ…a country that NEVER ATTACKED US. 
      Iraq had NOTHING to do with the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
      Saddam Hussein had NOTHING to do with Al Qaeda.
      NOTHING.
      Exactly what was “honorable” about that?
     
    Third, Hawk…you claim to have served in the Military, so in light of THIS:

    “While serving in Taji, Iraq, West received information from an intelligence specialist about a reported plot to ambush him and his men.[11] The alleged plot reportedly involved Yahya Jhodri Hamoodi, a civilian Iraqi police officer.[11]
    West, who was not responsible for conducting interrogations in Iraq and
    had never conducted nor witnessed one, had his men detain Hamoodi.[11]
    In the process of detaining Mr. Hamoodi, soldiers testified that Mr.
    Hamoodi appeared to reach for his weapon and needed to be subdued.[11] Hamoodi was beaten by four soldiers from the 220th Field Artillery Battalion on the head and body.[12] West then fired his pistol near Hamoodi’s head,[11]
    after which Hamoodi provided West with names and information, which
    Hamoodi later described as “meaningless information induced by fear and
    pain.”[11] At least one of these suspects was arrested as a result, but no plans for attacks or weapons were found.[11]
    West said “At the time I had to base my decision on the intelligence I
    received. It’s possible that I was wrong about Mr. Hamoodi.”[11]

    West was charged with violating articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. During a hearing held as part of an Article 32 investigation in November 2003, West stated, “I know the method I used was not right, but I wanted to take care of my soldiers.”[12] The charges were ultimately referred to an Article 15 proceeding rather than court-martial, at which West was fined $5,000.[11] LTC West accepted the judgment and retired with full benefits in the summer of 2004.”

     …is your argument here that soldiers should have the freedom to PICK AND CHOOSE which articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice they will adhere to?

    She was a coward – she waited till he left and then attacked him. If there were more trashing of morons on the House floor the Dems would be in a pile .

  • http://www.thecobraslair.com Cobra

    Vbritt,  they took Hamoodi, blindfolded him, handcuffed him, shackled him, beat the hell out of him, put a gun to head, threatened to kill him, and fired it next to his eardrum.

    Hamoodi was a CIVILIAN.

     Do you believe that American CIVILIANS abroad should be subjected to this treatment if a military force thinks they may have information?

    You must swallow a lot of Progressive and Obambi Sperm, huh?  Trying to OD on it, are you?

    West is a True Leader, unlike B. Hussein Obama, who couldn’t run a one man car wash properly!  Obama is a Failure in every aspect, as a person, as a leader, as a half black man, and as a half white man!  America needs a True Leader like West, Cain, Bachmann, or Palin, not more Trash from the Leftists, like Obama!  As far as the little Skank, Wasserman-schultz, goes, didn’t she play the lead part in “Debbie Does Dallas”?  I thought she looked like a cheap whore!

    Racist KKK, you should go back to Europe.

    I hate cats, and I hate liberals. My wife called me to tell me some asshole was parked in our community with all this left wing bullshit on hand written posters saying Allen West is ruining this country and other completely ridiculous silliness. I raced home to add my own comments to them and maybe pimp their ride but they were gone by the time I get home…. I know they must not work, I wonder where they went…

  • Anderstein

    And Obama is a marxist underachiever…. Socialism is gay. Progressive kitty… ewww cat piss smell on a woman…. litter on bottom of bare feet…. cats are the least loyal pets, I’ve had dozens of them… never again. Liberals make me sick to my stomach.

    You are racist and wasserman shultz is a fucking lying piece of shit with kinky ass hair that makes brillo pads nervous.

  • Anderstein

    Cobra… lol… probably more like a inch worm….

  • Anderstein

    Amazing how liberals protect only certain free speech that supports their twisted failed world views. I have met Allen West, and you sir are no Allen West. The schools of thought Obama was created from have killed 100 million people since last century…

  • Anderstein

    That douchebag shultz lied on TV as I watched, accused an entire group of people of being racist and shit, fuck her and her kinky ass hair, she looks ridiculous. She is a nasty piece of filth and I wonder how she sleeps at night.

    Progessive kitty likes anything, and will prove it, meet her (or him if they are in lake worth) behind the litter box

  • Anderstein

    That kinky haired troll is an abomination. How about when the big O called her cute? Was that a sexist half black liberal mulligan? That troglodyte came out and attacked every day americans just like the idiots at MSNBC. All of a sudden portesting is racist and bigotted? While the little commie losers walked around with bush/nazi posters throwing fake blood on people and burning flags for 8 years? Couldn’t they get laid or find some good weed? WTF is wrong with you people? If conservatives get their way we live in norman rockwell paintings, if liberals get their way it’s heironymous basch paintings (after he lost it). I am not a christian but for christs sake people wake up.

    “West is a big ole black bully” racist!
