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:

I know almost nothing about LTC West. I do know though that to reach that rank there must be some substantial sense of self discipline including that of a verbal nature. In that sense alone West is a superior man to Alan Grayson.

LTC - Mr. West is a wonderful addition to government. Why can’t we elect more people like this? Are all Liberals so dedicated to their stupid agenda that they can NOT recognize a genuine patriot when they encounter one? He should have won by 80%....

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

Let me remind Kasie Hunt that she is an ASS.

Allen West is CLASS.

Shuttup, Kasie. Or is that impossible because your feet are planted firmly in your mouth?

I met him briefly at CPAC. My first impression was that he is a man of tremendous honor.

Grayson is a toad with no self-control.

Lt. Col. West looks like he would tell someone—If I want any chit out of you, I’ll squeeze your head.

Grayson looks like he would just scream like a ninny.

I like West, I hope he doesn’t disappoint.

she predicts he will become the “Alan Grayson of the Right.”

So she predicts he'll only serve one term and get booted out office in utter disgrace? I'd be willing to wager big cash that doesn't happen.

LtCol West is the only candidate that I gave financial support to in this election. I am very proud that he is my representative. Politico is just full of crap.

Isn’t it about time the right stopped referencing Politico as a legitimate news sources. I’m not talking about posting here but I don’t see people (among FOX and what have you) going out of their way to give the Huffington post the same stature they’ve given Politico and yet the two are the same. Blogs run by hyper partisans. Sure, Politico may feature ex-WAPO employees but people kid themselves if they think they were real journalists. Byron York is a real journalist. They aren’t at his level. Infact at this point I’d probably give Arianna’s blog more respect then I would politico given how low they’ve sunk lately.

And we are supposed to be surprised the Politico is smearing right wingers? They are nothing but full out lairs. Most of the items they post anymore are proven to be fabrications. Case in point, Palin blowing off Hannity and Levin. They were not even called for comment. Pure lies.

Leftists become more pathetic everyday.

LTC West is much more photogenic and appears much more intelligent than the Arab 0bama.

He is also a man of accomplishment, unlike 0bama.

Definitely presidential material.
