Clinton Mocks Allen West Calling Democratic Representatives Communists: ‘This Isn’t The 1950s’
Mediaite ^ | June 5, 2012 | Noah Rothman

Former President Bill Clinton mocked Rep. Allen West (R-FL) at a fundraising event for President Barack Obama on Monday night. Clinton mocked West’s claim that House Democrats were communists – he said that “this isn’t the 1950s” and “no one has seen a communist in over a decade.”

Clinton praised the work that Obama has accomplished in his first term in office and said that he’s had to accomplish the reforms he has instituted amid significant adversity. “He’s had to get all this done while people as recently as last week were still saying he wasn’t born in America,” said Clinton.

Clinton continued by targeting House Republicans, singling out Rep. West who he described as one of the “tea party members.” Clinton became animated when he highlighted Rep. West’s comments where he implied that the House Progressive Caucus were communists.

“This is not the 1950s,” said Clinton. “At least Joe McCarthy could skate on the fact that there was one or two living communists walking around. Nobody’s seen a communist in over a decade.”

Clinton concluded saying that “no criticism [of President Obama by Republicans] was too vicious and too fact-free.”

Hey, Bill, we don’t call Mr. West a negro anymore, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t black.

No, Bill, you syphilitic freak, in the 1950s they were plotting to get into key positions in the government. Since then they have and have gained control of too much of it.

postscript Most annoying thing about Obama's demeanor: the irresponsible blaming of others and inability to accept criticism, and that reminded me of one of the things about Clinton that used to drive me ape-s***: using that damned left finger as a pointer, particularly when he was caught red-handed in any given (usually embarrassing) matter. Criticism from either of them can't be taken seriously. Boy Clinton and Boy Obama. Bam's mommy was a commie. Bill just had mommy issues. Both were incomplete men. Between them and Carter, the Worst Former American President contest is going to be neck-and-neck.

Years ago there were accounts of Clinton’s mother being close/cosy with one of the Rockefellers, I believe Winthrop,in Arkansas. The Rockefellers were big time in Arkansas as well on the east coast especially New York. There is also historical info that the Rockefeller oil dynasty/money came partly from funding from the Rothchild’s international banking interests that go back several centuries. The public records will show that Soros also was given start up money by the Rothchilds for his hedge funds. It is also of interest that the Rothchilds had their hands in on the 1917 revolution when the communists took over Russia.If this all seems far fetched one only has to review history of dynastys based on wealth/money and how such influences were active throughout the world. I believe the corruption of the USA’s exceptionalism was nurtured years ago in Wilson’s time by bringing in European bankers to start the Fed Reserve which is not a USA government controlled institution. It is a European international controlled entity being a sham because the USA Congress is allowed to choose the director.

Bill Clinton is an idiot. He needs to be quarantined to keep him from spreading "STUPID." Speaking of spreading things. If you do a FreeRepublic keyword search for "Bill Clinton" among other articles, here's what comes up:

WHO warns of gonorrhea's growing drug resistance

Thanks Bill Clinton for your contributions to world health!

The biggest job Satan has is convincing people he doesn't exist. Most of America don't believe the greatest threat to national security is the Communist/Democrat Party U.S.A.

.....from an anti-American lawyer to running one of the most critical departments in our federal government - having a communist driven mentality toward our dominance in the world. She is a traitor. Likewise Zero is, for similar reasons, a traitor. While president, her husband made a gift to China of our most sensitive national technology secrets.

Together, Mrs. Liar Clinton, Zero and their erstwhile Igor, ( CIA now DOD Panetta ) are laying bare the foundations of our global secrets gathering and military preparedness apparatus.

We are about to lose the farm, only for the reason that America is being distracted on an hourly basis with false flags, greed, sex and lies manufactured by a financial-government-media propaganda machine Nazi Information, Joseph Goebbels couldn’t even begin to comprehend. Good night America, we couldn’t care enough to see it was coming for our children.
