Immediately after Allen West took the stage at his Town Hall meeting on Tuesday Evening in Fort Lauderdale, several hecklers who were planted in the crowd began to jeer and interrupt his remarks, forcing West to pause several times and then continue once the crowd calmed down. Police were ultimately forced to removed one of the hecklers from the event. When the hecklers refused to stop their harassment, West stated, “You’re not going to intimidate me.”
Minutes later, a woman sitting behind West’s wife , who had been acting in a disruptive and combative manner by yelling at the Congressman and even harrassing his wife, was asked to leave and was escorted out of the event by Fort Lauderdale Police. As this unidentified woman was being removed from the proceedings, she continued her tirade and used an expletive to address a police officer, which resulted in the officer arresting the woman for trespassing.

Heard Rush yesterday. He said we need someone from Freshman class to rise up and run for President. You know, a leader. I nominate Col. Alan West!
IMHO, after all the combat Col. West has been in, what is someone yelling at him gonna do? They can continue to try their Alinskyite rabble rousing, but it Isn't going to unnerve the good Colonel one bit.

I figure the 90% of du which is unemployed has to do something with their time.
“Glenn Beck was talking a while back about the leftist tactic of using a ‘diamond formation’ - placing operatives in the crowd to maximize effect with minimal numbers, coordinating timing to draw it out. It sounds like that here. Good for West not being cowed by their nonsense.”
I’ve never said this before (because I consider it rude), but since you mentioned “diamond formation”, take a click on my tag line.
They threw Err America’s host at him? Just shows how fearful they are of Col. West. He has my vote......
Typical liberal mentality...she came to a town hall where she thought there was to be “back and forth”. In other words, liberals believe it is their “right” to interrupt and do and say anything they want, anytime they want.
These are the people we need to confront folks. Great job by Congressman West.

It would be great to see a little “shock and awe” from Col West’s podium. I’d love to see some of this liberal filth melted down.
I have to say it.
What a crazy slovenly bit*h.
ugly inside and out
It ain't working though...
Wanted: Angry Liberals--If the Ryan budget is so unpopular, where are the town-hall meltdowns?
It's an old Communist Party trick.
This is one republican I would vote for in a minute.
West for President.
I’m pretty sure Allen West isn’t intimidated by much. He’s what the GOP needs. A real man.
