Video: Allen West townhall on GOP budget turns rowdy
Hot Air ^ | 4/26/2011 | Allahpundit

The left will have to do better than this. Not only is West predictably unperturbed by the heckling but the crowd is overwhelmingly on his side. You’d think progressives would be out in force to try to embarrass a tea-party all-star, but no. In fact, see the woman being hauled away by security at the end? That’s Nicole Sandler, formerly of … Air America. When the big dissident presence at a rally is a host from a defunct radio network, you’ve got yourself an optics problem.

The dude has seen “the sh*t” in Iraq. So is this combat vet going to be intimidated by a shrill leftist hag?

"You're not going to intimidate me."

Don't you have to be mirandized when you are arrested?

I think arresting her was a little over the top.

You are right. It just wasted tax dollars. Tar and feathers would have been better and much more fun.

Parents were

Allen West is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

No, the arrested has to be mirandized before any questioning.

You are not required to Mirandize an arrested person unless you intend to ask them questions about a specific crime they are suspected of committing.

Officers are not required to keep telling someone to leave for being disruptive. She failed to understand this or ignored it completely and hence arrest was the next step. This officer is a veteran senior sergeant. He knew exactly what to do, kept it calm, professional in front of the cameras and never raised his voice to her once, despite her boorish behavior.

I just want to give a big Hooahh out to Allen West.

Palin/West would be a dynamite ticket.

Leftist astroturf. The Dems are good at faking popular movements.

The Democratic Party has become one enormous fake and sham.

We are likely to see worse than this through November 2012. Maybe even after then.

Some people work for a living.
Some people vote for a living.
Some people intimidate others for a living.

They used to be good at astroturf, I think they failed miserably with this one.

The good news: They looked really bad, and West made them look even worse, he made them look dumb while he came across as a strong leader who won't back down.

Why? They arrested Teresa Cao at the Capitol in DC for making her statement “except Obama” during the reading of the US Constitution.

These people are thugs, just like the SEIU and ACORN types, the Code Pinkos, et al.

“I think arresting her was a little over the top.”

They should have taken her outside, beaten the crap out of her and said she fell down a flight of steps.

I no longer am feeling civil towards the left.

It was a Co-ordinated heckle. IMHO, we may see a LOT more of this from the Left.
