Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) said yesterday on Fox that a recent campaign ad showing him punching white women and stealing cash demonstrates an “incredible bit of duplicitous hypocrisy” in the way that black conservatives are treated.
West said that the ad showed that the Democrats don’t have any plans to counter his policies.
“And so they have to try to attack your character, which is not going to work,” he said. “Having spent 22 years in the United States military, I think people need to understand I know a little bit about strategy and tactics, and I can quickly turn and counterattack to any attack that they bring forth.”
Patrick Murphy, a 29-year-old businessman, won Tuesday’s Democratic primary and will face first-term West in the fall. The ad was paid for by a PAC supporting Murphy.
“When people see this ad, they are just absolutely disgusted. They saw it as despicable,” West said. “Many people saw it quite frankly as racist and showing me with a gold tooth and punching white women to include a senior, which everybody knows that is not me.”
The NAACP claimed the ad wasn’t racist, but “a traditional, political, partisan commercial.”
The congressman said his opponents went after him in such a way because “they are threatened by that because the we are not part of that liberal, let’s be very honest, that economic dependency plantation, which they would love to have.”
The NAACP excused this! That was once a noble civil rights organization. Now their leaders are the most slavish house negroes on the liberal plantation. It’s truly sad, as well as disgusting.
The actions of the NAACP in this matter are no different from prominent women’s groups like NOW during the Clinton era. They’re willing to look the other way when someone on their side of the political spectrum does something bad.
The Clinton era or any era. You won’t hear the NOW gang coming out against radical Islam or the tenets of sharia anytime soon. Their blatant hypocrisy is stunning.
When history finally renders its judgment regarding who the real racists were in our era, the democrats and NAACP (if they still exist) will hide their faces in shame. There are still “Uncle Toms”, but Allen West is not one of them!
Keep up the good fight Rep. West!
I wish he was in my state…. I will financially support him anyway…..
Agreed. That is the best way to respond. If the progressives from across the country target him, conservatives from across the country should support him.
