NAACP Bars Allen West From Giving Keynote Address Following His ‘Communist’ Remarks
The Blaze ^ | April 23, 2012 | Billy Hallowell

Rep. Allen West (R-FL) has taken intense heat from the media and the left over his statement that there are “78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party.” In the wake of the controversy that has resulted from his remarks, West, who was slated to be a speaker at an event hosted by the Martin County chapter of the NAACP this past Saturday, was disinvited from addressing the group.

Mediaite has more about the reasons behind the decision to axe the congressman as the event’s keynote speaker:

In Martin County chapter president Jerry Gore‘s own words: “There’s a certain statement he made about Communists.”

“That statement alone,” Gore added. “….We do not represent that type of atmosphere.”

Did West say that they were members of the Communist Party or merely Communists? One need not be a “card-carrying” Communist to adhere to Communist tenets. I guess the charge hit too close to home for members on the National Association of Liberal Colored People.

You can always tell when the target has been hit dead on.
The scumbags scurry under their rocks.

The wrong choice was made when Black America was presented with two paths. That of W.E.B. DuBois or Booker T. Washington’s.

Well on that he is wrong, the number is higher.

That was my first thought as well. There are probably a lot more than 78 to 81.

Did no editor pick up on this obvious redundancy?

The National Association to Advance Communist Paradigms has spoken.

Westy hit the mark with his comments, and now we need to fire for effect on the Communist progressives.

NOthing kike klittle liberal fascists whining in the morning!

NAACP is just waxing nationalist socialist, morphing into a fascist organization, in which they will censor Black Politicians who do not agree with their sordid liberal authority.No freedom from the NAACP for “de poh black man Col. Allen West, He an Uncle Tom!”

Freedom is only for black folks who agree with the NAACP politics of nationalist ( rascist) socialism( historic justice we deserve to be paid via redistribution of wealth)= Fascism.

Its Official, welcome NAACP to the Obama fascist fold!

Good Read:
