Politico: Allen West the “Alan Grayson of the Right”
Democracy Project ^ | NOVEMBER 10, 2010 | Phil Orenstein

Posted on 11/10/2010 9:32:08 PM PST by RobinMasters

Politico’s level of discourse has just plunged into to the lunatic fringe with their groundless slurs against Congressman-Elect Allen West. In a primer for the vanquished, Politico reporter Kasie Hunt outlines a few of the GOP freshman “ready-made for cable television” out of the massive incoming Republican class. One of them is Lt. Col. Allen West, and she predicts he will become the “Alan Grayson of the Right.” Ms. Hunt has a lot learn about Lt. Col. West as he takes his place on the national stage.

The longed-for victory of the exemplary American hero, LTC West in Florida’s District 22 Congressional race, and the welcome defeat of the foul mouthed House Democrat Alan Grayson in Florida’s 8th District amounts to a double-header celebration. In a rebuttal to Politico’s thoughtless statement, Warner Todd Huston’s post in Breitbart’s Big Journalism describes the outrageous character of Alan Grayson in contrast with the righteousness of Allen West’s dignified campaign:

Exactly.

Help!
Can anyone identify the Crest half hidden at the tip of his right lapel?
He was artillery but I can’t place it. I would appreciate an answer.
Thanks.

Another Great American who WILLLL I guarantee be given the Clarence Thomas treatment because he is not on the liberal plantation of acceptable behavior and thought.

Well lefty scumbags it is now the age of the Internet and we have reached the tipping point where your MSM is the venue not only distrusted but completely unenlightening. People en mass now go around you.

God bless Colonel West.

Have you heard how he put his soldiers’ and local civilians’ lives ahead of his career and took necessary steps to acquire
information from an Iraqi terrorist?

Alan West is one of the most articulate and thoughtful people I’ve ever listened to. He’s head and shoulders above the vast majority in Congress.

Some day I’d like to see Alan West become our first African American President.

He can put my vote in the bank.

It will be hilarious to watch the Democrat "mainstream" media do everything in its power to ignore Alan West. The last thing they want on their airwaves or in their headlines is a picture of REPUBLICAN congressman Alan West.

I can scarcely imagine the teeth gnashing that must be going on in the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms these days. I wonder if the scumbags who inhabit those dying newsrooms have formed another secret "journolist" to plot their schemes and keep their stories coordinated?

As truly repulsive as it is to attempt to compare the hero West to the slime...and as angry and as disgusted as I feel about it....the only way to deal with this is to remember..don’t get angry...get even.

We cannot relent! Ever!

I heard a guy on Mark Levin who called in to say he served under West and the caller said he’d follow him into hell.

The guy was so positive and enthusiastic about West! Compare him to the turd wanna be “king” zero that unfortunately got himself enthroned.

Mark this for future reference: If Allen West only serves one term in the house, it’ll be because he moves up a notch or two...

I think maybe as SecDef in Palin’s administration would be nice, hehehe.

You have every reason to be proud of him.
I shed tears when I learned he won.

West is a man’s man, a leader, a hero, a man of principle, a true-blue conservative and patriot. The racist left MUST demonize him. Get used to it.

"Some day I’d like to see Alan West become our first African American President."

He is one of our rising stars. I also hope he does become President.

The story goes like this, if I don’t mess it up.
While commanding a unit in Iraq, LTC West received intelligence that insurgents were planning an attack on his convoy through a neighboring town. They captured one of the insurgents, who happened to be a policeman, and questioned him. He refused to talk. LTC West got a grip on the guy and muscled him outside into the yard. He got the insurgent on his knees and fired a round very,very close to the guy’s head. The guy sang like a canary, giving critical information. The attack on the convoy was prevented and lives of the civilians in town, as well as lives of his men, were saved. Unfortunately, none of this was appreciated by the powers that be, who like to play nicey-nice, and LTC West resigned his commission. Thus, we have him in Congress!
