Conservative Black Republican Congressional Candidate Thrown Out Of Cystic Fibrosis Fundraiser Because Big Donor Dems Object
FR Exclusive
You would think it couldn’t happen in America but it has. Retired Army Lt. Colonel Allen West is a conservative Black Republican. He was to be honored at an upcoming Cystic Fibrosis Fundraising Dinner in Florida, but the invitation was withdrawn because of pressure from liberal Dems who also support the Foundation.
Allen is running, (and running well) for the Congressional seat now held by far-left Democrat Ron Klein. The district, Florida 22, covers the east coast of Florida from Fort Lauderdale to north of Palm Beach. It is NOT a “Minority-Majority” Black district. Allen is a well-honored vet of the Gulf and a school teacher as well. His wife Angela has her doctorate. They are an incredible American success story.
The South Florida Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Society picked Allen and his wife to honor at their upcoming fundraising gala dinner. They were to be named one of “South Florida Finest Couples” at the Gala. In the process, Allen committed to raise $10,000 for the Foundation.
Everything was fine until two big time Dems who are supporters of the Foundation heard that Allen and Angela were to be honored. They threatened to cancel their support of the Foundation if Allen and Angela were allowed to attend and be honored. There is currently no proof that Dem Congressman Ron Klein approved the threats, but his fingerprints seem to be all over this. Many people think it is certainly a tactic that Klein and the Obama wing of the Democrat Party would certainly stoop so low as to use.
We do have the names of the rich Dem who made the threats, and an email trail, so this is far from finished.
The bottom line is that 12:10 today, Ms Chris Landshut, the well-paid Executive Director of the South Florida CF Chapter called Allen and “politely” asked of she could withdraw the Society’s invitation to Allen and Angela.
Because the Cystic Fibrosis Society was afraid of losing big donors, a Conservative Black American and his wife were NOT kicked to the back of the bus. They were kicked OFF the bus.
This may go very big. South Florida media is beginning to work the story and I would not be surprised if it quickly went national on Talk Radio.
I spend 30+ years in TV news. This is one of the lowest stunts I have seen yet.
More when I know it.
And where is Col. West’s apology?
crickets
You have the names, why are you not posting them? Who complained and blocked Allen?

Appearances are everything in politics. I'm afraid that it is what it looks like, whether they meant it to or not.
The Cystic Fibrosis foundation just made the same mistake that Obama did in the Shirley Sherrod debacle. They caved in to the left before considering the fallout their dis-invitation to Col. West will create on the right.
They may have appeased one or two big liberal donors, but they've just lost all credibility in the eyes of all their center-right donors. Liberals don't donate at nearly the levels that conservatives do.
This is going to come back to bite them hard.

Cycstic Fibrosis Foundation can count on one thing: I will not give these bastards one red cent.
Thanks dila813!

These are the people, it is the candidate he is running against and his friend.
Allen critic CREW appears to uses Huffpo as a source, and shill for Democrats.

But obviously not fine enough. Maybe they can get them a table behind the kitchen.
#1: FRules
#2: I got them from a source who does not want them publicized.
Right now, I am working to see how close they are the the Klein campaign. If they are just typical Demlibs who are CF supporters, that is one thing. If I can tie them to Klein, that is MUCH more significant.

PS: It may take a few days to wrap this all up. I'm a lot older than I once was. I'm a lot slower than I once was.... but Damn, I'm still good!

It is common knowledge and isn’t denied that it is Klein’s Wife, it is right in the posts on face book by Levy’s Mother linked on multiple blogs.
Klein’s Wife says it is Levy’s Mother’s request through her.
Don’t believe her, but that is the defense.
Others? Believe so, but names unknown. Everyone thinks Allen knows though.
Levy was standing there next to Obama when Obamacare was enacted.
Get ready to see another one that is lower than this. When it comes to dirty and low, the Democrats have no limits to how low they will go nor no peers. But these are the type people that the voters say, via their votes, that they wish to lead them.
