Tea Party heroes included soldiers accused of murder and torture

[Enrique]

Ilario Pantano was accused of premeditated murder, and Allen West was accused of torture, both in Iraq. West won and is now a U.S. Congressman. Pantano lost.

They were both on RW radio all the time, and their appeal to the rightwingers appeared to me, in both cases, to be based in those accusations of violence.

Watch West's chief of staff say: "If ballots don't work, bullets will"
