Allen West: Obama Supporters Are ‘A Threat To The Gene Pool’
(Via ThinkProgress)



US Rep. Allen West (R-FL)


From West's diatribe at the "Red County" website:


I believe we are headed towards the ultimate ideological clash in America. There is a widening chasm which has developed between those who believe in principled fiscal policies and those desiring the socialist bureaucratic nanny-state. <...>

And all we hear from the President is talk about “shared sacrifice,” “tax the rich,” and “increase revenues by tax hikes.” It was just December 2010 that President Obama and the Democrats extended the Bush era tax rates for two years…now less than a year later they are FLIP-FLOPPING! <...>

I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.




Marie Diamond at ThinkProgress notes:


In the same post, West equated the Libyan rebels fighting against dictator Muammar Qaddafi to the Taliban, and falsely claimed that “47 percent of wage earning households in America do not pay federal income taxes.” He also accused Obama of threatening “our nation’s senior citizens and Military Veterans/Retirees,” when it is in fact proposals and demands by members of his own party that are doing that.

West’s disdain and harsh rhetoric for those who don’t agree with him is nothing new. He frequently disparages political opponents – often personally. He once said anti-war congressmen should “get shot a few times,” and claimed “if you support Medicare…you can kiss the United States of America goodbye.”

West, who was discharged from the Army for abusing an Iraqi, has also said he can’t possibly be Islamophobic because he brought “the light of freedom into the Islamic world.”

Will someone please extract this clown from gatherings of civilized people?

14. Some people hate the Left more than the Right.
It seeps out their pores like a preachers sweat at a Little League game.

2. I'm happy I've lived long enough to see the day when a man isn't judged by the color of his skin,
but by the craziness of his character.
