Today, Patrick Murphy, the underdog in the Democratic primary for Congressional District 22, called incumbent U.S. Rep. Allen West -- a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, and a combat veteran, mind you -- "a coward."
Responding to West’s decision to run in a newly drawn district further north, Murphy posted the following statement on his website: Allen West went from talking tough this weekend and telling progressives to "get the hell out of this country" to abandoning the people who elected him. There is no other way to interpret this: Allen West is a coward. The truth is that the maps are far from set and I will continue to monitor the redistricting process closely. Forget that Murphy has purposely twisted West’s words and taken them out of context. I'm not even going to bother with those offenses.
It is an absolute outrage that Murphy would dare use such a despicable word to describe a combat veteran and an officer of the U.S. military -- any combat veteran and officer, for that matter, regardless of their political views or affiliation.

I’m pretty sure he can too. Like to see him say that to West’s face!
“Uhhh? When the state “redistricts” you like that, technically speaking, the voters “left” first.”
Col. West was seriously disrespected by the RINOs in the FL State Legislature. He himself said he didn’t understand why they have tried to “redistrict him” out of a winnable district in the redistricting process. The GOP is effed up everywhere. The Romneybots want all the conservatives out and this is one way to do it. They are $hitscared that guys like Col. West will prevail and upset their ongoing “deal” with the RATs.
Good strategy is right. I’ll bet he has military training. :-)
Bet he would never tell him that to his face!
“There is no other way to interpret this: Allen West is a coward.”
You Moron the only cowards I know are idiots like you...
Beckel is a POS who gets his butt handed to him every day by little ol’ Andrea Tantaros.
Exactly what I was thinking.
While he is at it, he might as well invite the ACLU studmuffins who went to court to plead for his district to be redrawn full of Tax-Eating 'Rat Trash, for the purpose of pushing West out of the Congress.
Come on down and get you some, girly-boyz!
LOL! Well said!!
Beautifully put...
Ditto!
I’d like to see him give all of them the same treatment the Ranger Cordel Walker gives the bad guys.
Bet he could even take them on in mass.
Nope! I hadn’t seen that before. I note the misspelled the Congressman’s name. They referred to him is “Jim Moran.” It should have been “Jim Moron.”
“Murphy likes to talk about being a “green contractor,” whatever that means”
I think it means one of these contractors who seeks government money and favors because he’s too much of a coward to compete on the free market.
"Many of you may be aware of Lt. Colonel Allen West’s own act of heroism and sacrifice when he gave up his body armor to a young soldier who lacked adequate protection during Operation Desert Storm- that particular body armor subsequently saved that soldiers life after he was shot in the chest."
When they change his district to 57% Democrat, I’d call the maneuver an end run around the enemy.
Simply take names and addresses.
He wouldn;t have the nads to call Allen West a coward to his face! Just when I think these effin liberals can't stoop any lower, they outdo themselves!
