Florida is allowing Allan West’s district to be drawn out…

Florida Republican Party dumped this tom, we won’t be talking about him much longer.

As an albino african american Jim Moran would know.

president obama :”
“I was very fortunate to get where I am and I’m going to spend my life trying to steady that ladder of opportunity.”—- wealthy white grandparents who raised him, collector of exotic husbands as her mom , living in indonesia, ties with saul alinsky, bill ayers, jeremiah wright as pastor….. yeah Obama was fortunate, right.

Rep. West is an American hero. He thinks for himself, as every human should do.

This is why the White House and the media are going all out on Rep. candidates. Gallup is one they trust.

“Gallup state numbers predict huge Obama loss”

http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/gallup-state-numbers-predict-huge-obama-loss/352881

Allen West is very representative of the far-right talk radio community.

You support Allen West over Obama? Obama is half black half white but he is 20 times the black man that Allen West. Allen West is an uncle tom who when the Republican massah says jump west says how high massah!

what is with these people and every damn thing being racial?…  i sure as hell don’t see moran as representative of whites…  was west claiming to have been speaking on behalf of all, if any, blacks?…

 Collector of exotic husbands.

As a black man Allen West doesnt represent me. Allen West is a certain kind of brother that is in every black neighborhood, oreo cookie, sell out, what ever you want to call it allen west=uncle tom house brothah

Hell, Moron, we know that. Representative of the “African American Community” is Al Sharpton, Sheila Jackson Lee, Jessie Jackson, Sr. and Jr, Hank (Guam is gonna tip over) Johnson, Charles Rangel, William (Cold Cash) Jefferson, Jeramiah  Wright, etc, etc. Oh and Barry’s cousin Pookie. The mediaite apologists Touré and Goldie Taylor. Race-baiters, thieves and sheep puppets all. Oh, and our first impeached, disgraced serial adulterer-in-chief BJ Clinton rounds it out. Such fine black leaders. Did I leave any major “players” out? The rapist Mike Tyson, maybe?

Mitt Romney is viewed favorably by only 28% of Ohio voters.

Hey, I made a short list of your representatives. Which one is your favorite, and why?

Better watch yourself, don’t front on my gal Goldie, boy.

My whole family is on the police force.

 Rep. Jim Moran (D): Rep. Allen West ‘Not Representative Of African-American Community’

HILARIOUS – another Lilly-white d-cRAT socialist plantation owner telling us who represents blacks and who doesn’t.  It’s hard to make up things funnier than this !!!! 

spoken like a real Klan member… how dare blacks not collect welfare checks and vote democrat !!!

Oh that’s rich. A white man telling a black man he’s not representative of the African-American community. I forgot that Democrats consider all black people as consisting of a single entity which they control. I also forgot they can call any black person who steps out of line “Uncle Tom” without being considered racist at all, whereas any person disagreeing with Obama on anything only does so because they obviously hate black people.

get a load of you, indeed…  “load” being the operative phrase here…  i find it interesting how blacks are independent free thinkers as long as they tow the jackass party line…

http://www.ragingelephants.org/

I live in Reston, VA and Moran is my rep. We all call him Rep. Moron.

If this was shown on the Marin Bash-here show, nobody was watching. Bash-Here’s show is ranked so bad on the cable networks it not even rated anymore. That means it’s not even in the top 75. Last time any ratings for Bash-Here posted, it was 46,000 http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cable-network-ranker-week-of-jan-9_b107609

What happened to the joker pic?
You sound Republican.

Jim Moran: The Voice of Black America

I got your boy hangin’. Besides, isn’t Touré more your speed? And your police family would go after someone for dissing your Goldie? Wow. Your whole, black, police family would break the law for you?

So which one is your favorite? Goldie??? Wow.

Well, Mitt should just forget about the presidency then…

When I want to know what’s happening in the black community I don’t ask someone in the black community, I ask Congressman Snow White Moron.

This is too cute by half – a white representative telling the AA community that a black representative isn’t representative of them because he doesn’t live on the D’s plantation.  Dare I call him a racist?  Nah,. that would make me eligible for employment at MSNBC and I’m not interested.

Moran is out of bounds with this statement.  Who made him king maker? There are plenty of people who he represents. Moran is generalizing to all people of color because West is black.  Guest what, there are conservative people of color. West seems to be extreme, but Moran should not have made this statement.

Wow.  You might want to take your white hood off in public. 

Wow. What a huge and blatant distortion of what Gallup actually said. First, the poll was only on his approval rating, and the huge assumption made by the idiot you link to is that Obama will lose any state in which he has lower than 50 percent approval. That’s a huge assumption that Gallup never made, and it’s likely easily discredited by historical data from any presidential election. 

Secondly, the numbers don’t consider a match-up against an actual Republican. As this survey of polls shows, no one is reporting that either Romney or Gingrich has a great chance of winning. Most show they are likely to lose against Obama. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/president_obama_vs_republican_candidates.html

Way to distort as usual, Gloves.

mr moran, you have priors of dissing military people, that’s probably your true angle here…  to paraphrase col jessup from “a few good men”, west’s military service, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saved
lives…  he has neither the time nor the inclination to explain himself
to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom
that he provided, and then questions the manner in which he provided it…  he
would rather you just say thank you and move along…  otherwise, i
suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post…

As for his discharge from the military, West: Asked if he would act differently under similar circumstances again,
West testified, “If it’s about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I’d go
through hell with a gasoline can.”

Where is one black “leader” who would do that???

Yes, acting to save his own men by scaring a terrorist is just soooooo alien to a liberal.

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.”[10] The charges were ultimately referred to an Article 15 proceeding rather than court-martial, at which West was fined $5,000.[6] LTC West accepted the judgment and retired with full benefits in the summer of 2004.

Instead they celebrate such “leaders” as Sharpton, Jackson, the Touré’s and Goldie Taylors of the “black community”. Wow.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_West_%28politician%29

In the quote: “He’s climbed this latter of opportunity….”

Latter of opportunity?  Please hire and pay a good wage to some editors!

Why does it have to be about being black, how about just talking about West as a man… even so, he did himself no favor with the get out of America statement, but what is it that dems and especially black dems feel that they have the right to set particular standards for black politicians?  I have a question, do you carry a “TOM” meter in your pocket so that you can actually quantitatively measure the different levels of “black man” between the two men, Obama and West? 

Is your objection based on his being wrong (he’s not), white (you’re racist), or Democrat (you must be a teabagger)?

Love how Mediaite never condemn or ridicules Democrat who say stupid crap like this, they just report the story. But if a Republican said this Tommy (whatever his real name is) Christopher would comment on his “dickishness”.

Look at this, Gloves.

“Gallup released their annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers yesterday, and the results should have 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue very worried.
 If President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent),

Obama would lose the 2012 election to the Republican nominee 323 electoral votes to 215.”

“Overall, Obama averaged 44% job approval in his third year in office, down from 47% in his second year. His approval rating declined from 2010″

http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/gallup-state-numbers-predict-huge-obama-loss/352881

I’ve been telling blacks for years that white liberals don’t respect you, well, thank you Sen. Moran for proving my point. Who are YOU to decide who is representative of the African American community and who isn’t? I like Allen West because unlike Obama, he has ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
http://libertarians4freedom.blogspot.com/

What happened to judge a man by his character not his skin color. I guess its because Obama would lose that comparison.

Yeah sure, Alan West is so despised by the white community, that when he ran against Ron Klein for Florida 22, Alan spanked the dork like Pee Wee Herman choking chickin’ while watching Jenna Jameson in “Obama Takes the High Hard One.”

You nailed it!!  I had wondered what happened to Baghdad Jim!! Now we know, he’s been in the ‘hood. 

So… Moran’s speculation about the interests of black folk’s is evidence that your speculation about the interests of black folk’s is correct because he had the audacity to do what you have been doing?  Clever stuff.

Just because someone is black they are thereby assumed representative of their entire race? Sounds racist.

Jim Moran is basically saying with his little ‘dog-whistle’, “There’s only one kind of African-American WE like…the Lib kind.”

Everyone knows this to be true.

This is one of those moments where everybody of every political persuasion needs to take a deep breath and concede that what Moran said was pretty offensive

Jim Treacher: The Defender of Black Autonomy

LOL do you live in Florida’s 22nd district? If not then he is not supposed to represent you, but rather the voters of his district who sent him to DC…  get over his skin color, it has nothing to do with anything.  If you care to be defined by your skin color that is your business, West ain’t buying the whole color thing. 

Well, you can tell just by looking at him that Moran is qualified to decide who’s representative of the African-American community.

And when he opens his mouth you can tell that he’s qualified to decide who’s representative of the “ate lead paint chips as a child” community as well.

Moran  must know the ‘secret prescribed number’ that makes a black politician a good representative of the black community. 

Isn’t a politician a representative of all the people in his/her district?  Also, does that mean because Moran is white, that he does not represent the blacks in his district ?

If you would just change one vowel in Moran’s name, that word would describe him perfectly!

Well, you can tell just by looking at him that Moran is qualified to
decide who’s representative of the African-American community.

Now that you mention it, he does have that liberal democrat clown look doesn’t he?

This coming from an old white Irishman.  

The truth is the truth no matter who it comes from, and Moran is right.  The only groups West represents are the Tom cabin republicans and the oreo wing of the Tea party.

I was watching yesterday when he said this.
Completely uncalled for.
Had NOTHING to do with what was being discussed. 

So…What have we all learned from all of this? (1) Never give a pass to a United States Army Officer on a charge of War Crimes, You end up with a miserable SOB that’s a arrogant psychotic criminal with entitlement issues. (2) That Mr West was right, just like in the Army not one Republican in the United States Senate is going to say a word to him no matter how crazy he sounds as long as he’s one of the guys. (3) Let Mr West Talk And Talk And Talk.

As if you ever gave a damn what was happening in the black community.

Please, please, please! Y’all have interesting posts but the apostrophe mistakes, plural and singular noun/verb (dis)agreement, and homophone mix-ups are out of control. I “get” occasional slips, you’re on tight deadlines, whatever. The sheer volume of mistakes is jarring and makes it difficult to stay engaged in and focused on the posts. 

LOL!

Do Democrats have no SHAME?

Now elitist white Democratic OVERSEERS like Moron are telling blacks who is and who isn’t!

The character of these people – there is none!

It’s what Democrats know best – THE RACE CARD!

They have moved him to a new district that votes heavily GOP…  LOL.  Looks like you can keep spewing your racially charged BS about him for many years to come…

Most rational people would consider getting elected President of the most powerful nation in the world more of an accomplishment than getting kicked out of the military.

Just what is it that Allen West owes you and why do you think he owes it to you?  

I got a clue for you…  Not a damn thing!   LOL!

You sir, madame, or it, assume much.

Is that the cleverest you can get?

The black community? What idiot would think he has anything to do with the representation of the “African American” community (which is like the Wizard of OZ Community, or the South Park Community -meaning, is there ONE???). West is exactly what people see. HE IS a representative of a REPUBLICAN/NEW GOP community IN FLORIDA (its how he got elected right?). Unless he won the election SOLELY because a few hundred black folks managed to get out and vote for him, he represents, mostly, white republicans in Florida in his district. He’s the skull and crossbones for yet another part of this country that will never be visited by anyone I know.. LOL

And who are YOU to decide who blacks should listen to? Hypocrite much?

Democratic welfare policies have brought a 72% fatherless household rate to the black community they PRETEND to care about, but just OVERSEE!

Hey black voters, do you want 50 MORE YEARS of blight, violence and crime? – Then keep voting Democratic!

It’s hard to think of a more corrupt politician than James Moran. Years ago, his sweetheart loan from MBNA – and subsequent vote favoring the credit card industry just a few days later – should have landed him in handcuffs. The true irony as a Liberal, supposedly one leading the fight against racism, is that Moran has the audacity to inform Mr. West that the way he thinks is not in alignment with how a Black person ought to think. That, is racism defined.

Mr. West threatens the Liberal establishment in the same way the ability to read once threatened the authority of slave owners – who maintained order through ignorance. Independent Black thought undermines the modern-day, government-run plantation’s stability; it jeopardizes the power of the liberal White, intellectual elite – and that of the hooligans in the complicit Black mafia – to maintain the coordinated subordination of Blacks who are taught not to notice the unintended consequences of trading their political loyalty to the Democratic party for a system of handouts, or to find offense with the implicit, soft bigotry – and insult – of low expectations.

Mr. West exposes the insincerity of that contrived system of enslavement – much to the chagrin of Mr. Moran et.al., who depend on it. All that’s left in the Left’s toolkit is to claim that Mr. West, as a Black person, is not authentically Black. In spite of belonging to a party that champions a system of “diversity” – Mr. Moran exposes that the real “inconvenient truth” of Liberal ideology is that it depends on diversity only being skin-deep.

Mr. West exemplifies the importance of looking past the cover, and actually reading the book

Notice how nobody will defend what West said.

It appears West isn’t that well liked by his constituents:

“Allen West, Tea Party star, could struggle to win second term”

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57368358-503544/allen-west-tea-party-star-could-struggle-to-win-second-term/

Has Moran, the Boston Meathead slapped around anymore black kids lately(true)?

So true.  I remember all that “America, love it or leave it” stuff from the Vietnam era.  It is obnoxious and counter-productive now just as it was then.  To me, the fact that it is uttered by a black man means nothing.  He is not the property of the Democrat party just because he is black.  And I doubt any of you would have the balls to call him a tom to his face.

The Palm Beach Post
Posted: 7:07 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011
U.S. Rep. Allen West, a political lightning rod since his election last fall, was catching some static Wednesday as Democrats predicted his political days may be numbered under his own Republican Party’s plan for redrawing congressional boundaries.
See That Tea Partier, Now your own party is sick of your crap.

 In other words, a brother with a job and honest money.

Only black bigots use the terms Oreo or Uncle Tom, you bigot.

 Goldie is a dunce.

 Sharpton, Jackson, the Touré’ and Goldie Taylor

What a collection of race-baiting losers.  I guess now we can add Melissa Harris-Perry to their number.

of course jim moron knows what a real african american is , he had many working the plantations for his family years ago

This is the same mofo who almost  choked a black kid to death years ago.

eh…no!

Like any true racist liberal, he, she, it does assume much.

(LA Times)
— President Obama’s job approval rating declined in all but three
states in 2011, with some of the steepest declines coming in likely
battlegrounds he must win this fall to claim a second term.
New state-by-state data released by Gallup on Tuesday shows that a
majority of respondents approved of the president’s performance in only
10 states plus the District of Columbia, down from 13 a year earlier.

Meanwhile the number of states where his approval rating was below
40% doubled in 2011, from 10 to 20. That list now includes New
Hampshire, where his approval rating was 38.7% — the lowest score in any
of the states he carried in 2008.

Put into electoral terms, states with majority approval of Obama in
2011 account for 159 electoral votes, Gallup’s Jeffrey Jones points out.
Those states where he is below 40% account for 153 electoral votes.

The remaining 226 electoral votes include the key prizes of Ohio
(42.1% approval), Pennsylvania (45% approval) and Florida (43.6%
approval).

Wow. What a huge and blatant distortion of what Gallup actually said.

That’s rich coming from a liberal, the masters of taking everything out of context!

Not to worry, he’s switching to another district, everyone will just love him there:

http://retirejimmoran.com/morans-greatest-hits/

Glad to see racist idiots still posting here.  

Not to worry, much ado about nothing.  See, he’s already being welcomed into a freshly redrawn district.  Now we will know where to send contributions:

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/house-races/207787-allen-west-will-switch-districts

West doesn’t have a chip on his shoulder, which is why he is a huge success.

As long as the extreme left hates him he can be assured of getting donations as long as he needs them.  He’ll need to be careful not to offend moderates (too much) though.

Who appointed Congressman Moran as a spokesman for the African American Community?  He is not even a member of the Black Congressional Caucus!

Awwww, did I hurt your feelings by posting something factually accurate that you seem unable to refute? 

He probably should take the hint and get out of politics!!

Know what this blog posting needs?

It needs the “Mediaite” treatment, and I’m just the guy to do it!

Shizzam!:

Controversial Far-Left Congressman Calls President Obama A Liar!

Congressman Moran today referred to President Obama as the “Lyin’ King” while mockingly talking in ebonics because he is a racist. He then calling Republicans lovable, cute hyenas who laugh and play all day.

Race card √
Misleading headline √
Taking words out of context √
Outrageously outraged outrage √
Biased reporting √

And blamed Jews for the Iraq war.

Jim Moran represents the LUNITIC community.

I love when you post!

Well said by a racist hiding behind a phony name. How does it feel to be a coward?

Where have I asked for anything from him or said he owes me anything. jackass?

I don’t want shit from him or you!    LOL!

Go spend that Media Matters paycheck of yours at a bar and give the rest of us a break from your predictable, party-line drivel.

Mehh, show me a black politician who vocally supports “gay marriage” and I’ll show you a person who REALLY isnt “representative of the African-American community.”

Maybe West isn’t, but the idea that Jim Moron represents anyone but rich, white, Massachusetts liberals, is good for a real laugh.

Lol!!

I’m going to change the link to Fox News, just so you can start accusing me of working there!!

Wow, nice work!! You should be working for Fox News with talents like those!!

Moran is a racist…but…of course, since he’s white….it’s hard for him to see that.
Where is his plantation in Virginia?

Allen West is a punk with ZERO clout in the African-American community. ZERO. In fact, most African-Americans view ANY Black person “embraced” by White Conservatives with the “side-eye” based upon the history of White Conservatism on race in America.

–Cobra

And with your wit and clarity you should be Eric Boehlert’s side kick, charged with emptying the buckets at MediaMatter’s HQ.

“President Obama is, he added, our Lion King”

That may be the best final sentence in any article I have ever read. 

I’m just thinking at how absolutely INSULTING Moron’s comments are to any black voter who wants to think for themselves, and decide which party is better!

He has truly shown his RACIST orientation – and the Mainstream Media remains SILENT!

What if a Republican said it!?

Don’t Trust the Liberal News Media.

Speaking of Media Matters, I thought you would like this one:

I like the line afterwards, where Obama had to explain to Fox News that was just a joke!!  =)

Maybe you would like to share your thoughts on why the overwhelming majority of African-Americans don’t vote Republican??

See….When you post the whole place go’s crazy!
Well Done Sir! Well Done!

It surprises me when the racial angle is the first to pop into this conversation. If anything, it says we have a long way to go

It’s simple, regardless of his skin color, the pr*ck  has fascist tendencies and he tipped his hand about this tendency in more ways than one throughout his career

Thank you.The establishment republicans are using the Federal Election law to get him out of the way. Gosh, these people can’t die soon enough. It’s frightening they might have eight more years to damage America their evil ways. I hope when it’s there turn to steal us blind they fix the housing and job market first.

  Stop it. White Conservatives used to “love” Colin Powell until he went off script, supported Affirmative Action and Obama for President.   When West’s 15 minutes are up, you’ll rent out another buck-dancer to entertain you for a while.

No…they didn’t move him. The FL GOP intentionally drew him out of his own district. It is West (not the GOP) who decided to try his luck in another district. Pay attention. 

Is that so?

Mencius is right. 

Why should we care what Jim MORON has to say? 

You somehow don’t think that the republican party was not involved in the juggling of candidates that was involved to get West into this district? He has their support redistricting had to happen and they have accommodated West into a district that is more supportive than his old one that was redrawn. Sorry no sacrificial lamb to be found down in Delray.

You make no sense. Why go through all that trouble when they could have just made his district MORE safe? Republicans were responsible for drawing the maps! They could have easily gerrymandered him a safer district. They chose not to. They sold him out. Period.

We have the right to set any standard we feel like setting, Jack.  If they can’t take the criticism, they shouldn’t run for office.

Appreciate your unbiased article Alex. Wish your friends JB and TC could follow your example. On this site we have liberal commentary and straight journalism. Only conservative commentary comes from the comments section. Was hoping this problem would be a New Years resolution but,
like most, more of a wish than an actual action plan

Allen West threatens NOBODY except unarmed Iraqis with their hands tied behind their backs.

 Who the hell told you that Black people will bleat like sheep and march behind the first loud-talking Black Republican?  Please cite for me historical precedence?

  What…you think Africans cheered for Black Slave catchers simply because they were Black?

–Cobra

I think Moran has it wrong.  President Obama is not there to help people up the ladder of opportunity — he’s there to throw them off if they climb above the group.  He’s the Equal Poorness President.

Welfare.

Yes, His plantation are the liberal welfare plantations housing  projects, Gilpin Court, Mosby Court, Whitcomb Court, V Democrat Voting factories, that produce 100+% Liberal Votes.

Mr. Moran may not be black, but he’s dead on with his comment that Allen West isn’t representative of the AA community.  To prove it all West has to do is ask Tavis Smiley what happened to him when he was invited to give a MLK Day speech in Peoria.  Smiley didn’t put any of that $37,500 in his bank account, and if West even attempts to participate in any event pertaining to blacks in America, he’ll find an almost empty venue.  Herman Cain learned this when he went campaigning in Detroit.  Few black people showed up.  That’s how we roll.  We’re more involved in politics than many republicans know.  We have to be.  We know how difficult it was to get the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed, we don’t take these pieces of legislation for granted, and we know our choice of political candidates plays a very important role in not only our futures but the futures of all Americans.  Republicans whine about us voting for dems and pretend to have no idea why.  They know, but there’s no way they’d tell anyone that we vote our interests and our interests don’t align with theirs.  We didn’t vote for Barack Obama because he’s black.  We voted for him because we agree with his vision for the future of this country–one in which the government works for all Americans–not just the one percent.  As long as the republicans in power fail to realize that they can’t continue to declare war on us, continue favoring the one percent, continue using us as scapegoats for their failed policies, and disrespect us, they’ll never get the majority of us to vote for their politicians.  NEVER. And, this is as it should be, imo.

Of course West isn’t representative of the black community. He’s also not representative of the sane community.

What are you doing? Making a list of controversial or compromised or disgraced black people, then adding Bill Clinton to the list? Why? Please tell me you (and your many likers) aren’t so dumb as to think you just made a point.

I guess he should be more like you, and be a racist in the open.

No, but seeing that a white person could not say that a particular black man’s views were not representative  of the black community, men, Americans, etc. is to inject race where it is not needed. Statistics and history are not some infinitely malleable pablum. I can say that Kim Jong Il’s views were not representative of all Koreans even though I am not Korean. Race doesn’t matter in this case.

A public official calling for the banishment of a another sitting official in good standing is unamerican. It is an attempt tyranny by some power-hungry mob, “We don’t care that you were elected! Get out!” That so many “conservatives” don’t see the agents of tyranny all around them is bewildering. If their “tiny government” ever comes to fruition, 99% of them are not going to be the ones to step into the power vacuum. They’ll just be more repressed too. The Plutocrats are pulling their strings: blue, red, Fox, Rush, Rove, the neo-cons, the Federalist Society, etc. it is a big conspiracy and common people are the target — their computers, TV’s, and radios the windows for the multimedia attack.

Since low life lying scum like you call every republican racist it is meaningless. Go back to your shoe shine stand.

This from the ignorant troll who thinks TV weathermen are climate scientists.

Amen! I would hate to think I could be judged by the insanity that comes out of Pat Robertson’s mouth just because I am white.

West has zero clout because he thinks about issues first and race second; that makes him a traitor in the black community. Keep in mind those racist whites didn’t vote to the tune of 96%, black voters did.

Thank you for that academic take on American politics. I imagine watching “Fast and Furious” is very stimulating. I really like “The Federalist Papers 3,” you know, the part where they blow up everything? Smooth, just like silk.

If 4% of the voters can be classed as an independent frame of mind, then birds can be classified as bricks with beaks.

Well then just leave.

At least he’s not from the brain-dead “We got Obama’s Back” black community; that’s really issue oriented isn’t it.

You forgot the true leader of the Payback Machine, Eric Holder. With the new bribe scandal breaking today on his watch and all the other racial corruption, he’ll be lucky if he makes it to the end of the year.

The central platform of the Democratic Party is race. Did you think Rainbow Coalition meant lions and tigers and bears?

For a white liberal Democrat it’s easy, if you’re black and you don’t toe a racial line you’re not representative and he’s right. Something to be proud of in a burst of irony lost on Moran.

Did you expect a 15 min. farcical sketch?

The same is said of the GOP as well. If you have something substantive, then put up the specifics. Otherwise you’re just engaging in empty name-calling, and I’m not interested in such pointlessness.

Ok Goon

It’s not insulting to black voters at all. Most black voters agree with him 100%.

LOL @ all these white Republicans showing fake outrage. If someone said that about the POTUS, you T-Baggers would allbe in 100% agreement.

You don’t recall BJ Clinton being anointed the “first black president”?

Bill Clinton

America’s First Black President

In a 1998 essay in the New Yorker, author Toni Morrison described
Clinton as “our first black president. Blacker than any actual person
who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime.” She went on to
say:

Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald’s-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas.

All good now?

‘Brain dead black community…’

You really went there…

…and with consumate ease.

You must be very proud!

there was another thread about what West said. This is about what Moran said.

Allen West is an unsophisticated loudmouth looking for an audience.

The recent comments won’t win favour with most African Americans , Independents or reasonable people…

The Far Right and Tea Party Baggers…

West is fringe material and his walking back of his own I’ll advised comments shows out of touch he will continue to remain…

All good now? No. There is still no point to listing controversial black people — including Clinton or not. The article is about Allen West being an extremist — not being representative of conservatives or Republicans or black people — or of anyone for that matter.
All sides have their extremists. And West has clearly marked himself out as one here. Do you deny this?

“He just seems clueless now that he has climbed aboard ship.”
What ship would that be, Moran? He wouldn’t be whistling about a slave ship would he? Sounds like he’s throwing out porch/uncle tom/slave ship racial coded attacks on West, to me. 

 But the guy lives in Plantation, FL (I’m not kidding!!!!) in southern Broward county and now changes districts 2 counties up in no-mans land.

 Yes, I disagree. Have you read West’s account? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_West_%28politician%29 He acted to save his men! And then stated that he would do so again. That shows heroism. I know, something alien to a liberal sheep.

Your controversial black “leader” whine list are actually convicted thieves, and liars, and a buffoon who believes GUAM WILL TIP OVER if too much of the population moves to one side of the island! One of them a disgraced impeached former president. These are still leaders of the democrat sheep! One of them gives you your NEWS!

 Makes me glad I’m a middle-class middle aged white man.

I’m not a “traitor” to my race or evil or wrong for my thoughts… my social/racial/gender status doesn’t figure into it.

And If I switched every single political view I have tomorrow… I still wouldn’t be attacked on racial/social/gender grounds for my ideas.

I have the true freedom to think, believe, and want whatever I choose without being attacked for it.

But I guess minorities don’t deserve that freedom.  you should be forced to think in lockstep with each other… anything else would be to allow you the same freedoms rights, and privileges as a white man… and we can’t have that can we?

But you keep the door shut, make sure nobody gets out, and attack any minority who doesn’t have the “approved” thought process… I guess emancipation wasn’t about freedom; just changing the master who controls your thoughts.

Good for you… real freedom is complicated.  you’re lucky you avoided it I’m sure.

Was he trying to be representative of the Black community? Seems he was making a valid point, in the general sense of the remark and ethnicity played no part.

So is the president.  Ears that is.

You have confused the noun “precedence” – which describes ranking or status in regard to a particular place in order –  with what you meant to use, “precedent,”  which pertains to an example of the past. My understanding of each makes your attempt to communicate possible.

No, the point isn’t that Blacks will get in line with West, the issue is that the individual IS the ultimate minority, and to treat a whole race as a monolithic, predictable group, is to deny them the virtue of their individualism. This is the essence of racism.

The evidence of low expectations for Blacks, particularly in education, is appropriately evidenced by your post. It is precisely that nuanced gap in intellect that liberals are allowed to sell their failed domestic policies  – and the resultant misery – as help.

To think that an ideology that depends on failure will “change,” leaves one with nothing to do but “hope” that the same tactic will soon provide a different result.

If this Demon wants to compare LTC West to the freeloading foodstamp profis, no,he does not represent them, they only want freebies, not work.  But Mr West and Mr Cain represent those blacks that have not accepted the plight of the underdog black man, feeling sorry for themselves and seeing what more they can get for free.  No, both of these gentlemen studied, worked, proved themselves and made something of themselves, as every American should.  Only the old and feeble should get handouts, the able bodies need to get our of their stupor and laziness and contribute to our society, like Mr West and Mr Cain have done.

Why is Allen West a Republican???  For the life of me, I can’t understand why any black person would ever want to be a registered republican or vote for a republican politician.  Republicans have clearly demonstrated over and over that they are hate mongering racists who mix twisted skewed religious ideologies with twisted skewed political ideologies that do not cross paths with reality.  In short, they simply put thier screwed up political party ahead of the country.  Republicans don’t really love the USA or democracy.  They simply love a state of mind that favors the rich and wealthy 1% over any form of true democracy.  But then, any hint of true democracy to a republican will always be demonized as socialism, liberalism and any other GOP lies they can conjur up.  

That’s precisely why BLACK Allen West has zero clout in the Black Community.

 The vast majority of us think about issues first.

“Stop it. White Conservatives used to “love” Colin Powell until he went off script,”
You’re absolutely right.  Conservatives liked Powell when we believed in the same values and principles.  When his beliefs changed, he lost support of many conservatives.  Note, I said when his beliefs changed, not the color of his skin.  You know, like that MLK quote:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

 I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

A direct response? Great. And thanks for the link, but I had not alluded to the gun incident in Iraq. I was referring to his words since Allen began his campaign and since he got into office. Are you diverting from the topic of the original article?

Allen’s behavior before in Iraq I’ve heard of, but I’m not making a point of it now. I want to say ‘why bring it up’, but that would be to fall for your diversion. Instead of asking, I’ll just get back to the point. Allen’s behavior was reprehensible. Without bringing in everything else in the universe, can you agree to that?

No…only lilly White Ann (“our Blacks are better”) Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are allowed to do that, right?
