Allen West: I didn't call Congressional Democrats communists, I called them communists!

http://www.postonpolitics.com/2012/04/allen-wests-campaign-releases-its-own-video-of-his-communist-party-claim-about-democrats/

Poor Allen West (R-Crazytown). Always being taken out of context.

Thankfully, brave Allen West has come to the rescue of Allen West.

You see, when he claimed that 70-81 Democratic members of congress were members of the Communist Party, he was actually referring to members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Who, in his mind, are communists. Even though, you know, the actual Communist Party says they aren't:

But what do they know? They're communists!

West wants to warn of enemies among us, he knows who they are. Sounds so familiar it hurts. Some Duers are pulling the same game.
