Sarah Palin Calls Disgraced Veteran Allen West A War Hero

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on August 10, 2012 · Flag

No sooner had Sarah Palin finished complaining to Sean Hannity about President Obama’s “disgusting attacks on people who he just happens to politically disagree with,” than she was back for Part 2 – and singing the praises of the unhinged, hate mongering Allen West, her first choice to be Mitt Romney’s vice presidential candidate.

With her hideously vicious smile, Palin said:

The liberal left is absolutely terrified of Allen West and what he represents. A war hero who honorably served our country continuing today in his official capacity as a representative… and the Democrats, they just don’t know what to do with this man so they ruthlessly attack him and, you know, they’ll stop at nothing to try to get someone whom they disagree with to sit down and shut up.

If Palin thinks she sees West’s military service from her house in Alaska, she really needs to take another look. The real Allen West’s military service ended when he came very close to being court-martialed for torture. As the New York Times noted in its report on West’s mistreatment of an Iraqi, “Colonel West deliberately disregarded Army rules and regulations, gambling—and eventually losing—a successful 22-year military career that seemed destined for further advancement.” In the end, West was allowed to resign with full benefits but was fined $5,000.

Some hero.

Not that Hannity clarified the record for the “we report, you decide” network’s viewers.

But as I wrote in a previous post, by all means, let’s let bygones be bygones because I’m totally with Palin on this one. I’d love to see West as the VP candidate, too.

See??
Just mention ‘Palin’ and the goobers feel the need to express their crazy!
I love it!!!
Michael, do you really believe that Princess Sarah has YOUR best interests as a prime concern?
Can you prove that she’s nothing more than a pseudo-pious, phony, pontificating pig?

“Gov. Sarah Palin, infused & imbued with patriotism and the culture of military service . . .”

Seeing as she never spent a day in uniform in her life, I fail to see how the Whore Of Babble-On is “infused & imbued with . . . the culture of military service”.

Unless you count her time as head of the AK National Guard, by virtue of being governor. And she was AWOL from that . . .

What part of “almost court-martialed for torture” don’t you understand, Patel? And when we take you to task on this forum, why don’t you ever respond? (And don’t say it’s Twitter, because your post today was more than 140 characters.)

Gov. Sarah Palin, infused & imbued with patriotism and the culture of military service, would of course champion Rep. Allen West rather that slackers such as Obama & Biden. Her hard-hitting, no-punches-pulled, what-you-hear-is-what I-mean statements of position & principle on Sean Hannity/FOX, 8/9/12 are reverberating across the news media & blogosphere, and will have serious & salutary effect on the 2012 election cycle and far beyond.

Only in a war on intelligence would a genuine “stupid fuck” like SP claim Allen West is a hero.

Lets hope the VP selection takes her advice and does what she did after she was selected.

Princess Sarah of Alaska THINKS conservatives back West. The little woman has not been reading Hate Nation, a site for racist bigots. These idiots will not back West simply because he is black.

Handout Hannocchio, who befriended neo Nazi Hal Turner, rather see a white man as VP. He’s frighten of a Romney/West ticket.

The Stop Hannity Express endorses West as Romney’s VP choice. This will surely bring out all the conservative bigots in the Republican Party.

NOTE TO HANNITY

You are an image of your father.

He’s my first choice, too.

Where have we seen this before? The Repug Presidential nominee caves in to his party’s wingnuts and picks an ignorant, hatemongering teabagger as VP. Deja Vu 2008 McDepends and the Whore of Babble-On.

Yes, go bold MagicUnderwear Man. Pick West.

The up-is-down world of the rightwingnut teabagger in action, again.

Remember: these are the ones who excoriated decorated veterans such as John Kerry and Max Cleland — and they call Allen West “a hero.”

I’d love to see West as the VP candidate, too.

As much as I’d still like to see Nikki Haley {aka Palin 2.0} in that spot, I’m starting to warm to that idea too, Ellen . . .

That may be what FINALLY convinces a certain segment of the unhinged right — the one’s that love to bleat “you only voted for Obama because he was black” — that we voted for Obama because he was the FAR superior candidate.

I mean, once Mittens and West go down in flames, they’ll have to realize that progressives in general, and African Americans in particular, do NOT vote on the basis of skin color — right?
