Daily Kos: Allen West questions the 'loyalties' of Rep. Tammy Duckworth

When last we heard from Former Congressman Allen West (R-FL-OfCourse) he was hard at work being a horrible human being. I see he is still at it.

Fox News contributor Allen West questioned the "loyalties" of decorated veteran and Illinois Rep. Tammy Duckworth for serving with her fellow Democrats on the Benghazi select committee. [...]
West remarked of Duckworth: "I just don't know where her loyalties lie. You know, for her to have been a veteran, a wounded warrior for the United States Army, she should know that this is not the right thing. And hopefully, you know, she will remember the oath of office that she took as an Army officer and not the allegiance I guess she believes she has to the liberal progressives of the Democrat Party."

Apparently merely being assigned to the committee is all it takes for combat veteran Tammy Duckworth to have her loyalties questioned by West; a truly loyal American would shut up and let Republican conspiracy peddlers say whatever they wanted about dead Americans.
He's all class, that one. I can see why Fox News couldn't bear to be without him.

A disgraced former military (he doesn't deserve to be called a "veteran&quot disparages an honorable veteran. Classic.

Unlike Mr Allen, American Flag Waving, Loyal Patriot, West who had to resign from the military to avoid a court martial and prison, for torturing an Iraqi prisoner.

By the end of the day I expect to see some Democrats coming out and defending Duckworth's military service... Just like they did with John Kerry... oh wait...

He's a nobody.

He's just a loser (literally) and should be treated as such. His word should carry as much importance and media worthiness as some slack-jawed mouth breathing poster on Free Republic.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. I can imagine that he would have killed to in the three-ring Benghazi circus.

I really question the thought processes of black republicans or gay republicans, let alone gay black republicans. You're backing the wrong horse folks.

and had the check that she wrote to the US "I will give anything, including my body and life for my country" cashed, that deserves respect.

Allen West got a less than honorable discharge. That's the equivalent of "You will never work again because you are not trustworthy or a patriot."

Anybody that backs West on this is idiotic, not patriotic, and probably as psychotic as he is.

That he got off with just a less than honorable says that he had connections and used them all.
