Allen West Asks: ‘Is it Open Season on a Principled Black Conservative?’
The Blaze ^ | 4/13/11 | Emily Esfahani Smith

Rep. Allen West, who received a derogatory letter with mysterious white powder in it last week, has some stern words for his menacing critics.

From The Hill:

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) used an email to constituents to respond to a threat against his Florida office last week and to warn critics to “be careful of whom you are choosing to employ these tactics against.”

West, a retired Army colonel, has become a national figure among Tea Party activists since defeating Democrat Ron Klein last November. The Florida Republican will be a top target of national Democrats seeking to regain the majority in the House in 2012.

In that letter, West wrote, “This incident, is just another in several incidents that have occurred over the last couple of years and, have put me in quite a bad mood.”

He offered the example of a “liberal blogger publicly stating that he wanted to ‘skin me alive,’ ” and a protest outside his office led by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) “castigating me as a ‘misogynist.’ “

Rep West is finding out that he is dealing with some very sick people Congress included.

It always is. Being a black American obligates you to be a left-wing Democrat who toes the line ...or else.

Lefties don’t have the stones to go up against West directly but they’ll have no reservations about ambushing his family, staffers, pets, etc.

Time to go to the mats...

Turnabout is fair play. I am *quite* tired of Debbie Wassertwat Shultz. Time to protest *her* offices.

I agree. Schultz is a loud mouthed mean spirited woman. Col. West you go right on. We support you.
