Will Fox News Condemn Allen West For Saying Liberals Should “Get The Hell Out Of The U.S.?”

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on January 29, 2012 · Flag

Congressman Allen West (R-FL) spoke in West Palm Beach last night where he topped himself with unhinged hatred for his fellow Americans. This time, West said liberals should “get the hell out of the U.S.” Not surprisingly, this caused a bit of a stir among Democrats. So will those America-loving folks at Fox News condemn these comments? You know that if a Democrat ever said any such thing, especially one up for re-election, it would be a 24/7 topic for discussion on Fox. Or will Fox whitewash and defend the remarks the way it did with his offensive rant against Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz? UPDATED

Huffington Post transcribed West’s comments:

“We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, (audience boos) and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain’t on the table,” West said. “Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.”

Following cheers, West added, “Yeah I said ‘hell.’”

I’ll be eagerly awaiting Fox News’ reaction. My bet? They’ll say something like, “He shouldn’t have said it but liberals (fill in the blank for whatever excuse will be trotted out to attack liberals and make it seem as though they deserved what West said).”

UPDATE: Sadly, though not surprisingly, Fox Nation has already given its stamp of approval to West.

UPDATE 2: West is now a paid contributor to Fox News.

West can be a rockstar with the fanatics all he wants doing this, but three words: Palm. Beach. County.

West pretty much lost the vote of the people who live in Palm Beach twice- once for how that mentality hurts tourism (even a conservative hates the man who loses him money), and again for that he forgot how many liberals and moderates are there.

Once again- West can be a rockstar all he wants, he’s pretty much lost the vote. He’ll need to pretty much have Broward locked to even have a chance, which isn’t likely if I’m reading the reactions right.

I live clean across the country from his district and I can already hear him losing from here. Let’s talk about his prospects later down the road now…

Aria, I hate to disagree with you, but I believe this will do for West’s exactly what Brewer’s sheer ignorance and unbelievable rudeness to Pres. Obama did for her book sales.
I fear that you may have overestimated the intelligence and underestimated the racist hatred of those that these types of stunt are intended for. I believe that West did exactly as he intended.

One of the pithy comments from the lemmings at Fox Nation:

“Colonel West may go down in history as the Paul Revere of his day. His creed is first to fight, and he just may be first to be detained under the NDAA this summer when those aforementioned un-American activists start the riots they have been organizing since last fall.”

My question is just whom has organized these riots and why weren’t we informed? Don’t we get to have any fun anymore?

And there goes Allan West’s career… Can’t rehab this, and it cost him the votes of both the moderates and the leftists who might have voted right.

West Sez

With a pathetic line up of self serving Brain Dead Clowns for a GOPTard run at POTUS being as dismal as it is I say Bring On The Hate and Fear. It works for me.

This former Lieutenant Colonel needs to remember that we don’t separate those buried at Arlington National Cemetery by who they voted for.

West was charged with violating articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. During a hearing held as part of an Article 32 investigation in November 2003, West stated, “I know the method I used was not right, but I wanted to take care of my soldiers.”10 The charges were ultimately referred to an Article 15 proceeding rather than court-martial..

And just think boys and girls, right after the SOTU address on Tuesday night the official spin from Fox and right wing radio was that President Obama was dividing America. West’s comments sure do give a whole new meaning to that term.

The “(R-FL)” after his name protects West from any criticism on Fux Noise.

Oh, West is quite the ‘man of the people’, isn’t he?
The crazy, septuagenarian retirees that live in Florida!
