More from one of Allen’s “non-partisan” critics:

CREW applauds Sen. Leahy’s work to bring transparency and accountability to financial reform bill
“CREW applauds the tireless work of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) to bring transparency and accountability to our government.”

What about the other two nominated politicians? Even if they aren’t running for office, aren’t they, by virtue of their offices, politicizing the event? Didn’t the CF people choose the Wests partially because of his political network possibilities?

One of the first things I read about this said that Col. West was supposed to raise a certain amount (I think it was $10,000.) What happens if he’s already raised this in good faith, and these jerks then dis-invite him. What now???

The Incumbent’s Wife who West is running against is the one that got him dis-invited, but all the other couples invited on the charity’s site are ok.

He wasn’t the only candidate and as far as I know, The Incumbent and his Wife are still on the guest list.

The thought echoing in his Wife’s head is “DOWN WITH THE BLACK MAN (Allen West, not Barrack Obama)”

I bet he will give them the money anyways, he is just that kind of guy.

He does want that apology to his Wife, and I don’t blame him.

I don’t think that he will make the donation contingent on this though.

They aren’t picking up the phone because they said that his Blood isn’t the right color.

His blood is red but it needs to be blue.

Oh and this has NOTHING to do with Allan running against Klein and out-fundraising him last quarter by almost 1 million dollars?

I hope those that did agree to pony up funds for Lt. Col. West’s nomination do withhold the funds, they can be used instead for much better reason - sending him to D.C.

“What is her involvement with Obama? Is this lady black?”

More than likely a Leftist Jew.

He denies involvement, “It was my Wife don’t you know?”

I’m surprised that an organization as dependant on public donations would display such blatant racist tendencies.

They are willing to withhold support from suffering people in order to advance their cause.

Yes, and that brings me back to Hurricane Katrina, when Gov Blanco blocked Bush from coming into LA ahead of the storm for prepositioning of supplies and manpower.

They'll do just about anything to make political points. Too bad their followers refuse to wake up.

He should agree to step down on one condidtion:

Those that are threatening to withdraw their supprt of the foundation be named publicly. If their politics are more important than a good cause such as fighting cystic fibrosis then the world should know.
