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 Wests 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 Wests 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.

Ever seen LTC West in a tee shirt? I’m pretty sure he can kick A$$ with the best if need be.

West is endorsing his Republican replacement in District 22 while he himself is running in the new configured District.
Good deal - good strategy.
Absolutely. Play the game to the best of our ability.
Yes, and, Bob Beckel DEMANDED West apologize for his totally insensitive remarks regarding Obozo and other libs getting the hell out of the U.S. He talked about how outrageous West’s comments were. I’m wondering where he was during 8 years of abusive statements uttered by liberal democrats and hollyweird elites toward Bush?
Midgets pick fights with giants to get noticed by village idiots.
I wonder if that fat Beckel guy will say anything about what this boob Murphy said. NOT>
Uhhh? When the state “redistricts” you like that, technically speaking, the voters “left” first.
I’d pay cash money to see Col West kick his ass and make this turd eat his words!
Beckel's like one of those talking dolls. He spouts all the canned liberal lies automatically. I'd love to see what would happen if he opened his big bullying demand to West face-to-face.
I would pay money to see that
LTC West should challenge both Murphy & Beckel to meet him in the Hand to Hand Pit for a little exercise. We know that he would give both of them a “John Wayne Counseling Session.”
This pencil necked geek has been hiding in his office counting beans while West defended his country. Murphy is lucky that he lives in a country that allows him to spew such crap.
He’s going to hell, not to Congress.
Pardon the hate, with some of these commies, I just can't supress it.
Double bump!
I change the channel when he’s speaking just so that I don’t heave a heavy object into my T.V. screen.
“An officer and a gentleman who has served his country like Allen West should never be called that by a Democrat...”
Remember General Betray-us? We are dealing with lowlife people who have no honor.
C’mon, we FReepers are better than that. Maybe fleas infesting his hairy armpits, or hemorrhoids or something...
