Glenn Beck should sue him for stealing his shtik.
If Joseph Goebbels was around, he'd be very proud of the Democrat Party because they have an incredible propaganda machine, West said on Capitol Hill Thursday, quoted by Politico. I think that you have, and let's be honest, you know, some of the people in the media are complicit in this, in enabling them to get that type of message out.
Don't start taking my words and twisting it around. I'm talking about propaganda. And I think that's a very important thing, West continued.
Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-Queens) demanded Friday that West apologize immediately.

(4,847 posts)that's why we have rush limpballs across the country and on military radio, sean hannity, glenn the nut beck, bill O'llielly and certain right wing papers love to give space to anthrax coulter. And, of course, they've got their own huge network, faux news. From screwing up graphs, putting (d) instead of (r) behind some scandalous congresscritter's name and not allowing the full content of a speech; instead, fabricating their own version. I don't know what the hell this clown is talking about.
But nazis? My german great grandfather knew nazis, being a democratic socialist, and you sir, may fit the description. Oh, and let's see how many repugs and industrialists during that time swooned over mussolinni and hitler, even aiding them.

(206 posts)People are finding out what I got kicked off a site called Soda Head for saying about Allen west,that he has no crediblity at all in his own community,and is and enemy of the poor .
He is talking about Goebells? his Party is closer to that and he is sadly in error when he claims that American media is also closer to Goebells.
America really does not have a real liberal, MSM outlet,it is mostly all controlled by the same right wing element that are mouthpeices for the pentagon and the military warmongers.
It is sad that in america,people like allen west are thought of as good prospect for the highest office of america,this shows how low america has sunk,and are close to being morally bankrupt.
These same people on the right,and the GOP ,like Cain,Gignrich,Delay,West, and the many other Viet Nam draft dodging dferement reciepient chicken hawks,who annoint themselves as the Family values Moral Party of America,makes this very sad

(3,922 posts)West has no aspirations of actual governing - he's in this for self-promotion.
After his steller military career imploded (he pleaded down to avoid a court marshall for alleged torture), he hitched his sideshow to the passing Tea Party parade, mistakingly adopted by South FL retirees in 2010.
But for all his talk about "gestapo tactics" and comparing Dems to "Goebbels", he has revealed himself as what he truly is: a far right-wing lunatic devoid of any real governing skills or realistic policy chops. Gee, that sure sounds like a certain political movement in 1930's Germany.
In 2012, he goes.

Thats all the GOPers do to win...they cannot Win FAIRLY...have to cheat,,is that the American Way??
Of Course Not...Most of us were brought up decently...sharing caring and respect.....
But...The NeoCons, the PNACers, and the Far Right Baggers have teamed up to upset the
Balance we had until RRR made his grab for the Oval...
Since then..its been all down hill....until 2010....them Baggers came into power like they
had a mandate to do destroy us...cause despite their language...the results of their tenure has
been to bully us with their demands....most of which have been counterproductive and or moot.
Guys like Alan West pile on with the GOPers psyops projecting denigrating crap on the DEMs.
VOTE that Idiot outta the picture... he is evil

His ego vastly surpasses his intellect and is writing checks that will bounce when reality catches up to him.
