Nothing but SOP for CNN – Soledad took his words out of context, just like the rest of the liberal media, then made a mountain out of a molehill.

This is why CNN’s ratings are in the dumper…they belong there with this kind of garbage.

“I don’t get it” says the so-called journalist; context counts Soledad, something you journo’s need to relearn once you get your head skrewed on straight and realize you work for the people and not for Obama.

“…as you know, sir, in the heat of action men are likely to forget where their best interests lie and let their emotions carry them away.”       K. Gutmann 

“Soldead O’Brien Grills Rep. Allen West”.

Wednesday: Soledad fries Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Thursday    : Alcee Hastings is baked by Miss O’Brien.
Friday        : Cupcake day ! Also, viewers send in their Bundt cake recipes.

I guess his mother didn’t teach him very well about being able to express an opinion without having to resort to insults. Just shows he has no civility or manners.

Conservatives just plain can’t stand not being in power….hence the 3 year full body tantrum.

The constitution would have considered this idiot 3/5 of a person.

He clearly doesn’t let the facts get in the way his ideology. He would find, for example, the US has the worst social mobility of any rich country, among with the UK. Parental income is what matters most for a child’s future success. He could look at the studies by the group of rich countries, the OECD. The idea that the US is a land of opportunity for everyone is laughable.

What a silly man.

How can anyone take the following out of context: Get the hell out of the United States? HMMM Oh, I know. He was asking them to join him on a family vacation. My bad.

They’re a buncha’ petulant children.

Do us a favor and get out of the country. Don’t be takin’ that out of context and sayin’ I told you to leave the country.

Say, Gloves I finally figured out why you always reply to your own posts. The reason is you can not reply to a logical argument backed up by the facts. But please do not stop. I need a good laugh now and then.

So, if I understand what you’re saying, Tina in Tampa, it’s a MSM/LSM/DBM/Librul Media conspiracy to defame Republicans. Is that right?

When someone says a remark was taken out of context, it generally means it was a stupid remark that ought not have been made.

So much for freedom, he want’s freedom for himself and fellow tea jokers, but wants others to get out. What a phony! 

Curiously, why did you change to passive voice on Thursday?

Following on Vice President West’s comments, guess the politician:

He’s a Saul Alinsky Marxist.

He’ll use government – and
$Trillions$ of taxpayer money – to favor those who support, capitulate,
or otherwise adhere to his will and agenda.
- & -
He’s a
community-agitating, racially/ideologically pampered, liberal academic
elitist who wants to run this country like a third-world Junta leader!

Good for you, Soledad. This misanthrope needs to be called out often.

keep working that thesaurus!!

FAIL.  Teagaggers and conservatives use Alinsky’s methods more than liberals.

lol, it’s going to be taken out of context. 

That’s your excuse? pretty lame. 

great imagery, conservatives lying on the floor, red faced, kicking and screaming, I hate Obama, make him go away, so true!!! They are so immature and ridiculous.

Why is it when conservatives speak I picture a kid on the floor throwing a tantrum?

Just keep kicking and screaming!! Maybe you’ll get your own way if you scream loud enough. (see above)

Because of an indoctrinated mind.

Leftist Media Hacks, supposedly ‘tolerant’ and ‘inclusive’ and ‘understanding,’ clearly want to protect their beloved political heroes and will feign a puzzled look like SoulDad did this morning.

Conspiracies are secretive, Kook.

Lol….the old “if you call me intolerant you’re intolerant!” meme. Weak sauce there, GRBSPR.

And let’s show a little more respect here for VICE PRESIDENT WEST, shall we?

He’ll destroy that incoherent Biden in their debates.

It sure couldn’t be the years of conservative/teabagger bellyaching…..screaming at people in townhalls, telling anybody who doesn’t think like them to leave the country……yeah, it’s just my indoctrinated mind.

Your an idiot like Allen west! Take that out of context all u want!

Really? Obama taught them. Did he teach them to conservatives?

LOL. Conservatives have employed his methods LONG before Obama…..Rush Limbaugh is the legacy of Alinsky.

Allen West clearly has mental issues from the war and needs help! However, you can’t fix stupid! His own party is redistricting his one term as@ out of politics! Even they know he is a liability!

You mean like when Alec Baldwin or Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn…says they’d leave the country if this or that Republican is elected, then DON’T!?

Or when Obama says no lobbyists, transparency, united America, and does just the opposite?

No, my friend. Conspiracies are among people. In the end, people are never secretive. Breaking up conspiracies is not police work, it’s merely listening to people blabbering.

What if its Hillary? GAME SET MATCH, Obama.

Lining him up for the VP spot.

Yes, because of the conspiracy.

Tina from Tampa says:

” …. something you journo’s need to relearn once you get your head skrewed on
straight and realize you work for the people and not for Obama.”

Where have you been the last couple of hundred years? Journalists work for corporations, not people. Of course, I do realize that corporations are people, my friend, But, still ….

What exactly did he mean by “Get the hell out the United States”? There not much to take out of context.  Allen West would be upset if someone told him to ” Go back to Africa”.

I knew fake tough guy West would quickly back pedal from those stupid comments. He is such a punk. You’re not in the military anymore idiot, you don’t outrank civilians and they can call you out whenever they want.

Two sides of the same coin, just the degree differs.

But I don’t underestimate the GOP’s ability to muddle, confound, or otherwise misrepresent the stark choices in fundamental governance that are at stake.

Usually her puzzled looks are legitimate! lol

…and that would be compared to, OWS? lol

Your watching too much of the DNC “mainstream media”.

Just reading from the CNN website which only I can access.

Blustering, bellyaching and temper tantrums don’t win general election debates…they win republican primary debates.

You figure that’s correct, because you read that here the other day?  First time the left has tried that “alinsky method”. lol

At least OWS have a legitimate gripe…..the 1% operating under different rules then the rest of us…..all the teapublicans did was publicly throw a tantrum about losing an election.

Col West is my hero good for him… the truth hurts liberals who are hypocrites and said terrible things about the previous president but now want “civility” HOG WASH!

You know what the anti-Obama ferver feels like to me? The run up to Iraq and the people who supported the invasion. Same lack of facts, same sea of misinformation and the same people.

How much of a neanderthal do you need to be to recycle “America, love it or leave it.”

What a nitwit.

I’m not sure why — or how — the Republicans keep hammering nails into their own coffin, but guys: the lid’s on tight.

It’s pretty sad when one has to be soooo very careful of what they say.  We all know exactly what West said and meant and yet the left has to twist it into what it’s not.  I’m sure he could have worded it better, but that’s neither here or there.  

A British journalist pretty much stated that the speeches coming from the people West mentioned are sounding like the “promises” from the leaders in Europe a few years back.  Anyone notice the mess they are in?

This Country was not built on the grandiose promises of community organizers and the mantra of occupiers.  This Country was built on the idea that anything is possible here, this is the   land of opportunity.  Now these same people who were successful because of these tenets want to change the game rules.  The rules we’ve all enjoyed, admired and grumbled about forever.  

You mean the same way Palin “destroyed” Biden?

Dream on, Norbit. West is way too inflammatory and toxic to ever serve on a national ticket.

LOL. The ‘personal responsibility!’ crowd crying about West having to take responsibility for his actions. The irony is thick around here.

Dinosaurs have nothing to do with it.

We’re savvy enough to realize that civility from wingnuts is just not going to happen. But “truth” — even your peculiar definition of the term — doesn’t give anyone the right to banish opponents because one particular nest of nuts disagrees with them.

Especially a disgraced ex-soldier with the moral sense of a wharf rat.

Mr. West? Sit on this and twirl.

I believe he was saying that speeches decrying and warping the very foundation of our Country, and what it was built on, have no currency  here.   

Valid topics for discussion, but none of them involve context.

Or when Obama called a sitting POTUS “unpatriotic” and there was a collective yawn from the media?

Just what the ‘Licans are lacking this election cycle: a big dollop of crazy and a heaping scoop of ignorant demi-demagoguery.

Run, Allen, Run!

By “tolerant” you mean “let lying loons burble on about their psychotic fantasies”?

Naah, we find that kind of irritating. Don’t you?

It’s an archetype.

That would have been superfluous. William F. Buckley, Jr. and Willard’s Mexican-born father, George Romney were fully conversant in Alinsky and rather devotees of his methodology.

Perhaps, you ought to have used “you’re”.

tell that to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.  Tell that to Mitt Romney.  Tell that to anyone who understands that this is the land of opportunity – and it’s not the governments place or duty to give you anything but the freedom to do for yourself without interference and that does not mean that “leveling the playing field” because you don’t like the hills in front of your field and you’re sure that your neighbors field is flat.  

Might I lend you some commas? Here you go: ,,,,,

Stupid Tina applies one of the two stupid defense mechanisms these clowns always use when their position is indefensible:

“He was taken out of context” the other is “it’s the media’s fault”

These tried and true deflections are so tired, old and above all unintelligent.

She does keep us laughing though. Viva la STUPIDS.

That’s a mighty big strawman you built there.

The only time Soledad gets noticed is when she shows her partisan arrogance and she knows it.  TV News on most of the networks has become nothing more than National Enquirer-ish trash talk.

The Alinsky thing is really blowing up in conservative’s face.

One of the things about the rightwing mindset — or maybe this is just a bunch of nitwits modelling each other’s behavior — is the tendency to reject the fact that distinctions matter; an inability to pick out what’s significant in a comparison.

Just because something is kinda-sorta like another doesn’t make them the same. 5 and 5000 are both numbers, but the difference is *significant.*

This mushy-mindedness really interferes with one’s likelihood of being successful, and that lack of success leads to resentment and, ultimately, to yelling at town halls.

It’s a vicious circle.

And one other thing. I don’t know a SINGLE liberal who advocates or wants “EQUALITY OF ACHIEVEMENT” everuone I know preaches equality of opportunity which is by means controversial (unless Obama says it),

Pretty cowardly to pick a fight with a strawman (or strawdog if you’re Michael Steele–further proof that logic and conservatism are not simpatico)

Vice President of what?

Yes, it is and deservedly so. Wholly the “gift” of Lard Limbaugh who obviously does not understand that Alinsky is an analytical model and a methodology and not an ideology. And, those followers of the Lard obviously have the same depth of understanding.

Tina doesn’t “get it” either.

And they are not elected officials dimwit. Try comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges you fruit.

Spin, spin, spin. Assuming you are correct with this statement, the inherent problem with this version is Obama, Pelosi and Reid are simply stating an opinion. This opinion is followed by a large number of Americans. As a result, he is telling persons who disagree with his opinion of them, the get the hell out of America. So much for the 1st Amendment.

Never happened you dumb liar.

Pablo! He taught Constitutional Law at one of the Nation’s most prestigous Law Schools. Stop making shit up just to be contrarian. Makes you seem stupider than you really may be.

Hey, man.  I’m an 8 year veteran from during Korean War era.   You don’t tell me squat.  I’ll be as far left as I want.  Or right. Perhaps you should read a little history, too.  Hear about FREEDOM?????  You don’t act like it.
I was told by a very wise man years ago,”Remember, friends come and friends go but enemies accumulate.”

Glad mr. “I’d go to hell with a gasoline can” finally learned to take his tranquilizers before he goes in front of TV cameras

perhaps he was saying that opinions such as Obama, Pelosi and Reid are clinging to belong in countries where our system of government is not practiced.  

More separatist rhetoric from a borderline fascist.

emma, emma, emma.  Your opening salvo is befitting of the most bigoted person in America.  If you said that about Obama (since he is the same lineage) what do you think you would be called?  I think your statement is more horrific than anything Al Sharpton has ever said.  

The United States was not built on the premise of “social mobility”.  Social mobility is a socialist creed.  Parental income does not matter a whit for a child’s future success.  Parental love and visibility – I’m sure – their pocket books, not a whit.  Somehow you equate parental responsibility only being possible if one is well off.  

The U.S. is the land of opportunity.  You are given the opportunity to make whatever you want of yourself.  You are not held back by the caste system that is a huge hurdle for the Europeans you seem to admire so greatly.  The government is not the benevolent society who makes sure that every child starts with the same bank account, that is not the purpose of our government.

For some reason you have mistaken “the land of opportunity” for the leftist call that “I demand my opportunity, I demand to have what you have, I demand that you look after my children, cause I’m busy looking for my opportunity in the most inopportune places.  

We don’t need to read to Federalist paper or the constitution. We need to get rid of clowns like West and his counterpart on the DNC side. We need to get rid of the right and left. We need a 3rd party which will not pander to the extremes of the right and left, but do what’s right for the country. There is no substance to these campaigns. Romney is singing America the Beautiful while Gingrich is attacking him on vetoing a bill which would have extended Kosher meals for Jewish seniors on Medicare while Romney was governor of Massachussetts, all while Obama is campaigning. Where is the beef. It’s all about pandering to the right and left. You can read all the damn Federalist papers and all 27 Amendments to constitution as they were read at the beginning of the last congress, but it got nothing accomplished and Washington is more polarized than ever.

Absolutely, Soledad is a tool. :)

Palpable political bias would better describe it.

Soledad isn’t intelligent enough to even recognize a fascist. The Right, illustrated by your comment, is so remarkably childish, that they welcome war criminals into their ranks because they say mean things about Obama.

Hero? Early retirement is never forced on heroes.

…Agreed!

Mr West’s Fire & Brimestone rhetoric may go over all cuddly with Tea Baggers and Hard Right GOP, but that use of language for everyone else is clownish and amateur…

He overstretched himself, imaging this could be seen as anything but incendiary…

Well done Mr West, you’ve been exposed…

…by your own actions!

BUSH=THE FOODSTAMP PRESIDENT

The Tea Party had the same gripes – and effected change democratically, without rampant lawlessness and anarchy.

So now he’s a war criminal because he served his country and followed ordered for 22 years?   Assuming you didn’t (which I can’t, I have no idea), does that make you a coward or a hero?

Did everyone notice that the Junta Leader in the White House REFUSED to condemn the violenc, crime and anarchy of OWS Oakland – but lambasted the Tea Party for the “danger” they posed – to what, one wonders…Marxism?

He did?  Gosh he was so effective that not one student has come forward to say he was great/he sucked as a professor.  Not one!
Doesn’t that make you wonder?  Was he teaching to an empty classroom?  

What’s hilarious about Allan West’s devotion to the limited government & the free market is that he’s been taking a government check his entire life. 

Who is this man, and when is HE going away?????????

We don’t need a centrist 3rd party, because we’ve already got a centrist party in government. It’s called the Democratic Party.

No, he’s a war criminal because he tortured at least one prisoner during the war he fought in.

So the Palin flame-out wasn’t enough? You expect the GOP pick another pathetic loser for the VP spot?

Adam, way to show your true racist colors by trying to type in ebonics mocking Congressman West. 

The only time Soledad gets noticed by the right wing media,

yay

Allen West winks at the camera.

It’s pretty sad when one has to be soooo very careful of what they say.  We all know exactly what West said and meant and yet the left has to twist it into what it’s not.

We all know that West meant exactly what he said: that he wants everybody who disagrees with him to leave the country. There’s no “twisting” involved, it’s just exactly what he said.

This Country was not built on the grandiose promises of community organizers and the mantra of occupiers.  This Country was built on the idea that anything is possible here, this is the   land of opportunity.

What could possibly be a more “grandiose promise” than “anything is possible here”? So yes, this country was built on grandiose promises.

Republican

Bill Gates and Mitt Romney are both the sons of multimillionaires. They’re not “rags to riches” stories. They’re people who were born rich and got even richer.

Arent you a wonderful human

The United States was not built on the premise of “social mobility”.  Social mobility is a socialist creed.  Parental income does not matter a whit for a child’s future success.

Complete nonsense. Parental wealth is a huge factor in the child’s success. Children of wealthy parents are far more likely to succeed financially than children of middle class parents.

The U.S. is the land of opportunity.  You are given the opportunity to make whatever you want of yourself.  You are not held back by the caste system that is a huge hurdle for the Europeans you seem to admire so greatly.

We actually have far more of a “caste system” than Europe. Nowhere in Europe is there as huge a gap between the rich and everyone else as there is in the US. The US used to be the “land of opportunity”, but over the past 40 years the GOP has worked hard to change the rules, rigging everything in favor of those who are already rich.

There was nothing taken out of context. West said he wants those who disagree with him to leave America. That’s exactly what he meant.

excellent rebuttal to a whole bunch of complete hogwash

He was kicked out of the military for literally commiting a war crime you idiot. He was forced to resign.

You miss the point by a country mile. This stupid man invited the anchor to read the constitution with him. That is a document which would have regarded him as 3/5 of a person. To sing the praises of the constitution is a silly thing to do for a black man. Are we clear now?

This man is a wanna-be somebody who is obviously frustrated with his own situation and the way he was asked to leave the military.  Furthermore, he is being redlined by the GOP and will no longer control his district.  This sounds like a puppy out in the street crying for help.  Poor tea bagger, you really need some psychological therapy.  YOU ARE LOSING YOUR TEABAGS!

Right because West literally meant for those people to actually leave the country. This is why Soledad should be fired; she’s an air head.

Yes, West meant they should all go back to the countries of their family’s origins – literally. I think only landowners should vote cuz if you are who knows what’ll happen.

Yes, that’s exactly and literally what West meant. And when he calls Pelosi a blow hard he literally means she is like the mythical West Wind and creates hurricanes and tornadoes.

On Saturday it’s Racist Hunting for sport. Where fore art thou Islamophobia? In the weeds. What?

Interesting accusation.  If true why isn’t he in Leavenworth?

He should probably get out of the country.

It is amazing this is not obvious to people. Why would anyone argue that the children of the ordinary auto-worker, say, will do as well as the head of Goldman Sachs or memebers of congress? You have to wonder what is up.

When  I think of Liberals speaking they are all sitting around a bong  in a pot smoke filled room and saying “let’s go burn our flag and let these hard working conservatives know we want some of their money to supplement our foodstamps.”  Conservatives= paychecks—- Liberals Where’s my Obama money

That’s not what the 3/5 is and Wikipedia isn’t some distant land you have to trek to while braving dinosaurs and giant apes.

Well a country mile is right on compared to missing the point entirely. 1/5 would’ve been anti-slavery, 5/5 pro-slavery. It’s the opposite of what you think.

Do you people actually believe a rich kid has the same chance has a poor kid? I mean even when you are not typing this comments. Seriously. Being born in a rich country is the most reliable indicator of how someone will end up. Born in Somalia vs the UK, for example. It is the same thing. Born to Bill Gates vs to some guy who works in an assembly line. Why deny the obvious? 

In order to understand the speech you need to listen to the whole thing and have the mental capacity to understand it.  From the remarks of many on the left I have to say mental capacity is greatly lacking for any understanding of any thing to do with something pertaining to productive efforts.  They are to busy destroying property that tax payers paid for and getting high at Occupy sites.

That’s not the truth. I heard this and I understood what he meant at the time. I didn’t need the input of any one else to figure it out. It was pretty straight forward. I wonder if any of you have actually listened to what he said. What I understood him to mean is: Those people named have ideas that should have no place in the US. They were against our constitution and should be taken out of our government.

Please try not to feed the “conservatives” any sane or rational thought. Their tiny, teabagging Tampa minds can’t take too much of that. Hell, they’re still having shit fits over Miss Piggy calling out FOX “news”!

Oh no, you’re spot on. She really is that stupid.

Allen West stated: “Take your message of equality of achievement

Take your message of Economic dependency

Take your message of enslaving the entrepreneur will and spirit of the American people
somewhere else

You can Take it to Europe you can take it to the bottom of
the sea  you can take it to the north
pole north pole but get the hell out of the United States of America”
In essense he was stating that they could take their socialistic, communistic ideology and get it out of American where it does not belong…  Pretty straight forward message.

or when the Clarence Thomas accepted money from the Koch brothers and in turn ruled on the Koch brother’s side of every issue before him on the Supreme Court?

What exactly is our sustem of government?  I thought it was a democracy (democracy in its purest or most ideal form would be a society in which all adult citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives.)

Any alteration to true democracy lends to a system that can’t claim to being democratic.

Any officer who has an Article 32 hearing is pretty much toast after that. He was forced to retire, and luckily, he could have been convicted and would have been a convicted felon. His case was referred to an Article 15 hearing and he was fined instead.

Show respect for the man who disrepected the current President of the United States of America??  How’s that work?

A “Pretty straight forward message” yet you felt the need to clarify it’s “essence”?

No peppy this is a man unlike yourself, who believes in principles and this administration has none!

Doll this man has been protecting your right to free speech by serving his country. What have you been doing?

How do you interview someone and say you don’t understand a simple English sentence. You can question the intent, or ask for elaboration, but her dopey ‘I really don’t understand’ makes me wonder how she manages to get to work every day without ‘getting confused’ on the way.  

46 million on food stamps is a shockingly high number.   

In this case the remarks are dead on and his remarks resonate with the general public.

latest poll has mitt tied with obama nationally, and he isn’t even the candidate yet.  That essentially means voters are in an anti-Obama, anti-incumbent mood.

As Carter can tell you, not a good place to be… 

The libs only listen to the snippets provided to them by Media Matters. 

No, you don’t understand it at all. This is amusing because you are confident based your reading of wikipedia. The South were outraged because blacks had to be counted, since to them they were not people but property. Later, the South wanted them counted for the purposes represntation in the House.

What you fail to notice is a very simple fact a half-awake nine year old would realise: blacks were property and they were, not only excluded from discussions, but talked about as bargaining chips. “Are they 3/5th for this purpose, 1/4 for that”, etc. This is the point, not the petty apologia you think matters to the discussion.

Now the point, (pay attention): if this West character were a slave in those days, his white masters would have debated whether he was 1/2 a person or not. The fact that he reckons those guys were his friends is not only stupid but rather disgusting.

You people live in some parallel universe. Slavery never happened; the founding fathers were not slave owners; having rich parents doesn’t affect a childs future.

Ideology is a curious thing.

Allen West, unprosecuted war-criminal, is a raging d!ickhead. I am surprised he never got fragged in Iraq.

Slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person. This is new and we have to check wikipedia? Do you think it matters to the enslaved why he was considered 3/5ths? The stupidity here tiresome.

Well, that’s just silly.  For example, statistics show that Indian Americans are doing a remarkably quick transition in emigrating to the US and achieving the ‘American dream’.  Their  children’s success is much higher than most other ethnic groups simply by a focus on educating their children to focus on high-valued degrees and advanced degrees.

So, you can whine all you want about ‘the system’, but if you focus on your family, working hard and getting degrees in technical and high demand fields,  you will do very well in today’s America.  Indian Americans of course deal with racial prejudices like many groups.  

However, whine and complain and sit on your but, and you fail.   

lol
And what leads to rape, murder, pillaging and burning down buildings?
Mushy-mindedness, meet thyself!

It’s simple denial of reality. Cognitive dissonance is what makes conservatism possible.

This war criminal belongs in prison. West is a disgrace to the uniform.

Says the nutjob who thinks he has higher security clearance than the President.  Keep talking boob…

Flat top Allen West ought to pursue a career in stand-up comedy.  

Who are these dopes that are liking your comment?! The constitution had nothing to do with the 3/5ths compromise. Your first sentence bars you from being taken seriously.

Face it: Alan West is an IDIOT!  It brings into question YOUR intelligence.

Thanks for making her head explode, Allen West!

Oh yeah…he said those things but YOU get to interpret what he REALLY meant.  What a victim!

Sooner than you think.

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

Interesting that Soledad didn’t argue the comment that she hadn’t watched the entirety of the speech and thus took it out of context.  This is not a tactic of the left or right, this is poor journalism seeking to create a sensational headline.  I don’t like what West said but two wrongs don’t make a right.

Reminds me of a line from “The American President”.
Tea party extremists such as West claim that they love America, yet they clearly can’t stand Americans.

I think there are words for ol’ uncle tomwest there….

West has the hatemongering down pat. I see why the Fox-Baggers love him.

shannon:  emperor’s new clothes-ing?

Harumph, cacon…

Wow, fragged??? By whom? Lefty nutjobs? You? Hey, d!ckhead, would p!ssing on him make you happy?

That Obama has nearly matched Bush in just 4 years what it took Barry to do in 3??? Just give Barry four more years. What are the odds that Barry will be the food stamp president?  Here, let me do the math for you:

BARRY OBAMA + 4 MORE YEARS = THE FOODSTAMP PRESIDENT.

So:  1. Does this mean you love Bush? Or, 2. That you will vote for Barry?

Blabbermouth Shultz says this is Barry’s economy.

You see this a lot with the Republicans. Like Mr West hear who thinks that representing the Richest Americans in any zip code is his greatest accomplishment, putting his military service to the country second, and you the 99% last.

Racist! 

Let’s play the progressive game of Code Words and Dog Whistles:

Clearly if you do not like the views of the great Allen West, you are racist. You may not say anything overtly racist, but it is there, deep down. Just admit and be done with it. You cannot stand the sight of a successful black man, that does not know his place. Admit it dammit, just admit it!

He’s such and animal.

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.”[11]

Certainly you read the account? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_West_%28politician%29 I know. You’d only go through hell with a gasoline can for your beloved Barry, so you might not understand.

Literally. LOL.

He actually said he’d go through hell with a gas can and do it again if he thought he’d save his soldiers.

Imagine that! The nerve, huh?

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

With a message like that who needs elections?

it’s just librul stoopidity roil impurrer.

West’s 15 minutes are about up. He was going to lose anyway, but redistricting will guarantee he gets sent home in November.

Even the GOP realize West’s hateful big mouth has made him toxic for re-election but like most far-right nutjobs he probably will end up with his own radio show. 

derpty derp Alinsky derpty derp Marxist derp
You guys really have nothing.

Soledad didn’t ask the question Americans really want to know – will West be rejoining Bel Biv Devoe? 
He has to be keeping that early 90s hairdo for a reason.

I would say, that anyone who doesn’t immediately recognize that Alan West is no idiot, but in fact quite intelligent, with a very good understanding of what’s going on……is an IDIOT………..dwhackey…..

And you, no doubt, are a ‘racist’.

I personally am getting very tired of the far right angling for a civil war with their rhetoric.  It is them vs. everyone else, no sense of ‘us’ at all.  

“General public” being the 400 toothless wonder “conservative” scum bags in the audience that actually cheered the stupidity of the COL.

Rather be a  . . . . “Conservative”  . . . . Then a liberal   ruining our country by trampling our Freedoms – Many gave their lives for our Democracy!!!

She really does! Well at least she is a mythical Catholic!

Where’s the “us” in Obama attacking Catholics’ right to religious conscience?

West’s comments can be heard to echo in social halls and watering holes across America, the
only exclusions to the foregoing would be liberal elite media, soros obama type gathering holes
where the destruction of our collective way of life is the main discussion, how to turn us into a third world country, kill American exceptional-ism, and introduce us to the socialist paradise of shared
misery. All they need to complete soros, alinsky’s, and the cloward-piven agenda is four more years of the communist community organizer. And if the 53% that pay taxes allow the 47% recipient
class that mooch to put him back in we’re done. I suggest you learn mandarin, it’s preferable to
arabic.

For some like Mr West nothing can make them happy but wish them luck in trying to find it…Unless anyone moves against the Constitution of the United States…Then they will feel the full force of “To defend against all enemies foreign and domestic.”

LOL!!!!!!!

You thought wrong.  Thus your confusion.  The US is not and was not set up to be a democracy.  

Please educate yourself and then see where the problem is that we are confronted with:

http://www.tmra2.org/images/democracyvsrepublic.pdf

“liberal elite media”

“Soros”

“socialism”

“Alinsky”

“communist”

“community organizer”

“50% pay no taxes”

“liberals want China o Arabs to take over”

Wow, you got all your Republican buzzwords in that post didn’t you? Fox News would be proud.

Proof that he has ever done that vs. just repeating a talking point?

Right, that’s why most black people can’t stand him either.

It would certainly make me chuckle.

Protecting our rights by committing war crimes?

Wrong, latest poll has Obama beating Romney by 5. Nice try though.

So your hero is a right wing nut job that was forced to “resign in disgrace” from the military of engaging in a war crime. Nice.

Donna, which porky are you? The one on the right o the left?

The problem with progressives is one in which they don’t like people that have a different
opinion, the foregoing aren’t republican buzz words, I can’t stand either side with the exception of people like West. The constitution and bill of rights, have nothing in common with the obama’s, reid’s, pelosi’s and beckel’s and o’brian’s of this world. The truth hurts
get used to it, he just put us another trillion in debt, and he has another year to go. Where
do you think the money to pay for this will come from, if you took ALL the wealth that
exists among the wealthy approximately 1.3 trillion, where’s the other 15 trillion going
to materialize from, once the wealthy are poor, their wallets are empty, where’s the money
going to come from? Thatcher had it right all along socialism works great until you run out of other people’s money.

The truth is most of those currently in congress, and the president have very little use
for the constitution and bill of rights, unless its to wipe their collective feet on. A more disreputable,dishonest and despicable bunch, you’d be hard pressed to find elsewhere.

He belongs in military prison . He’s no American-has anyone checked his birth certificate.

Ik. I actually went to that web page. . .now I think I need to wash the wires in my computer. West is a delusional sycophant, still trying to curry favor with those whom he views as superiors. Good luck with that, Alan.

get off ~~Jesus Fuc***ng Christ RECKLESS CONSERVATIVES (Nazis really) shoot from the mouth and really need a punch in the mouth 

no, its pretty simple: Col West lays out 3 or 4 positions/policies that are absolutely anti american being espoused by our dear leaders, and then he says these people can take those anti american positions elsewhere, just get them the hell out of here, where there is a constitution one swore to uphold, and leave.

if she, or anyone doesnt understand that, they are being both facetious and incredibly stupid

You’re right, the examples you provide are definite common sense. But the children of corporate CEOs and members of congress make up less <1% of the population. Probably less than 1/2%. So it's not really a good point to say that there are SOOOOOO many people who are born into immense wealth. Most wealth is generational and families barely scrape by. 

food stamps…..c’mon… comparing 8 years of Bush to 3 years of Obama Really Fair? I want the truth. Give me the stats for the first 3 years of each president. Jeeeezzzzzzzz

Stand clear of him boys he isn’t a war hero, It’s a clear cut case of giving a pick officer a free pass on a war crime charge…And this is what you end up with when you do, a criminal with a sense of entitlement.

Wait a minute, Allen claims to be a conservative but wants urban empowerment zones (with the flood of Washington money that turns on) re-instated? All while claiming fealty to the Constitution and the Federalist Papers?

Just another southern whack job.

That’s exactly right, Royal Emperor. It is about belittling republicans, making them out to be hate mongers, and most importantly taking their words out of context. 

No. Journalists are the press. Aren’t we guaranteed Freedom of the Press in the first Amendment to the Constitution?

The Press are supposed to be the people’s watchdog…But too many entities, which lean to far one side or another, they can’t be considered press…

The Press is not the watchdog, its the lap dog, primarily of the left-pushing an agenda…

Truth will out. 

You know not of truth. 

Like so many others on these forums.

You just told a complete lie, and the sad thing is, I’m sure you believe it…

You said, “over the past 40 years the GOP has worked hared to change the rules, rigging everything in favor of those who are already rich”. Lie. 

I guess that’s why Chelsea Clinton is hosting her own segment on NBC…

I believe the 3/5ths rule was to get the foot in the door for equality…The South didn’t want to recognize blacks/slaves as a whole person, because the blacks outnumbered the whites-women did not have the right to vote then. 

They have every right to a religious conscience.  If employees for the Catholic church feel birth control is against their religious conscience, they do not ask for birth control.  

Color me shocked! Liberals piss on the military all the time.

I’m pretty sure mushy-mindedness is also implicated in contracting toe fungus, dancing badly, wearing stripes with plaids, and responding to email messages from fugitive Nigerian bank managers.

Using Soledad’s statistics:

Obama: 33M > 46M = 13M more on food stamps (IN THREE YEARS)
Bush: 17M > 28M = 11M more on food stamps (IN EIGHT YEARS)

So tell me again, how exactly has Bush been the bigger “food stamp president”, when Obama has clearly caused 2M more people to go on food stamps, and in less than half the time?! Clearly, Obama has been the biggest food stamp president, and he hasn’t even ended his term yet, so who knows how much higher than number will get!

Liberals misuse percentages all the time. This is just one more example of that.

Also..

Obama: 4.3M more on food stamps PER YEAR
Bush: 1.375M more on food stamps PER YEAR

Cool story bro.

I’m sure Allen West would enjoy it.

 Republicans send them to war and forget about them when they return.

Obama the Socialist Marxist wants to take care of them.

 What free speech did he save?

Are you someone who believes that Americans are stupid enough to believe this, or are you THE stupid American?

That’s not a lie. The GOP has worked hard over the last 40 years to rig the rules in favor of those who are already rich.

A grilled cheese sandwich could take Biden in a debate.
Speaking of which, lunch break!

I tell you what. I will come half way. The Republican and Democratic establishment, have both figured a way to rig the rules for themselves…Making themselves rich. 

More Democrats in the Senate are millionaires, than Republicans…But there is reason everyone going to Washington (excluding people like Dr. Paul-and Do Not take my mention of him here, as an example of support) go to Washington with the intent to right wrongs, and end up playing the game, to come out a big winner. 

The Democratic Party, IMO, plays to hard working people employed in businesses supported by unions…And, it plays to the poor…And frankly that is a 50 year old broken record, friend. The Democratic Party always talks about what Republicans will take away, but apparently they never have an antidote to get the poor to the working middle class…

You think it’s a “talking point”? Seriously? Educate yourself. He is trying to force Catholic providers to commit a mortal sin. This is a big deal even if you cannot grasp it.

It’s not about employees, it’s about providers. Obama is trying to force to do something they believe is a mortal sin. It is a violation of religious freedom. Wake up.

Using contraceptives may be considered a mortal sin, the fact that they are available is not.

I am actually quite educated about it.  The mortal sin is in what the person chooses to do, not in what it is possible to do.  The catholic church just doesn’t want the choice to be there in the first place.  

West is south of sanity.

 HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey kids- You get off on a tea party radical saying “democrat” party? You get hot and bothered over Newt Gingrich? 
Guess what- you will NEVER HAVE A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT DURING THE COURSE OF YOUR LIFETIME, thanks to World Wrestling Federation thinkers like you. Now grab your Freedom Fries and bend over while the richest 1% take your Social Security.

This is what insane right wingers do ALL the time.  Say something insanely inflammatory and then cry foul that they were taken “out of context” when actually called on their BS.  Any intelligent living, breathing organism would know this if they had a clue.

This  from a “handkerchief head” that was just stabbed in the back by his own party on redistricting. When will these uncle ruckus’s realize that the devil don’t love nobody. Allen “bullet head” west will join Oliver North at the club for disgraced soldiers in Nov.

Very true. It is not the first time he said something stupid.

Tell it like it is Emma.

I would not call him an idiot but this is not the first time West’s brain and mouth had gotten him into trouble and it won’t be the last.

Was West trying to hit on O’Brien?

“HAHAHA Sir. Read the Federalist Papers? No thanks.” Well, that’s exactly the point. These people don’t want to understand what our Nation was built on, they just want things to go their way, as if they have a greater understanding of man, than our founding fathers did. There are winners and there are losers. Those that choose to pursue the American Dream without help, those are the ones that will have a greater chance of success. I’m not where I want to be in life, but I’m in a good place. That’s because of decisions that I MADE AS AN INDIVIDUAL. Joined the Army. Learned everything there is to know about me in regards to my capacity and ability. Now I’m a civilian leading a development team for one of the greatest web firms in NYC and abroad.
