Allen West Accuses CNN's Kyra Phillips Of Leading Him ‘Into A Rabbit Hole’ With Questions
mediaite ^ | 4-6-12 | Noah Rothman

CNN Anchor Kyra Phillips hosted Rep. Allen West (R-FL) where he weighed in on the rumors that he is on a short list for vice president, the Trayvon Martin killing and President Obama’s health care law in the Supreme Court. The illuminating interview became heated when Phillips asked West to weigh in on gay marriage rights, at which point West accused Phillips of leading him down a “rabbit hole.”

I like that Rep West stuck to his guns and called her out on trying to change topics to divert it to something controversial. This also happened when Republican chairman Reince Priebus was on CNN with Carol Costello. He was pointing out the failure's of Obama and she tried to change the discussion. He called her out as playing the Democrat talking points playbook.

Well the video of Allen West is at the link.

Now, imagine what a RINOmney reply would have been.....

I like West, and the more he calls out the MSM bimbos and bimboys for the ill-educated slimeballs that they really are, the more I respect him.

Good for West! He cares about ALL the people, Kyra doesn’t.

Phillips is one of the most partisan shills on that network (and has very visually unpleasant facial expressions when reading the teleprompter).

I don’t agree with him that Zimmerman should be in custody but everything else he talked about he was very good.

She’s guilty of no less than a “high tech lynching”. Where’s Jesse and Al to protest this heinous act of journalism?

I really like West. However, I put an asterisk next to that since I also got behind Rubio when he was running and I’m not overly pleased with how that’s working out.

I find it very humorous that lib talking heads know only Frontal Assault. While a decorated officer knows flanking movements while keeping the objective in line of sight.

Note to Kyra, et al: When you’ve had your A** handed to you.

Leave the field of battle to lick your wounds. To carry on the attack makes you look silly and vindictive.

It is not because they are uneducated at all. Quite the contrary they know exactly what is expected of them. They are told by the news director stay on Obama message and insult the other side. Do not allow anything nice to exist about The GOP or any Republican if possible slam the GOP member......Thats the way they think slash and burn

Col West is a product of the Florida Tea Party and is a great man. If not VP then definitely Sec Def......spoke with him a few times. Easy to talk to an is concerned about others immaterial of race or political beliefs.......

The injured Zimmerman was held in questioning for five hours before being released, reportedly, and witnesses were also “interviewed” by authorities.

The five hours and corroborative accounts of the immediate witnesses gets no media play whatsoever, and therefore it is possible that Allen West was not made aware of the early facts of the case.

Santorum and many, many other opinionated lip shooters, eager to score cheap points with cheap shots, went off half cocked, with absolutely no ammunition to back up their big talk against Zimmerman.

Augusta National is a private club deigned “men only”...
Vassar is a private college deigned “women only”...
Wellesly is a private college deigned “women only”...
The Black Congressional Caucus is an organization deigned black only...

When these “fine, upstanding” organizations open themselves up to ALL people, then maybe Augusta National would see fit to do the same...
Until then....LIVE WITH IT.....

He should have asked her if she still thinks her sister-in-law is a “nightmare”.

Vassar became co-ed in 1969 and is currently 40% male. Wellesley is still women-only.
