Congressman Allen West (R-FL) sent a nasty letter to Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tuesday afternoon, calling her "the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the U.S. House."

The email was provoked by a speech Wasserman Schultz gave on the House floor Tuesday, in which she referred to West while attacking the “cut, cap and balance” legislation proposed by Republicans.

"The gentleman from Florida, who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries," she said after West had left. "Unbelievable for a member from South Florida.”

Wasserman Schultz added that the legislation would have a terrible effect on the U.S. economy and should be named, “duck, dodge and dismantle.”

7. She should make him apologize on the House floor

She is a fellow member of Congress and as such should be treated with respect.

8. I remember the good old days when freshmen Congressmen kept their mouths shut

Maybe this clown thinks he's entitled to respect because he once wore a little green uniform, but since such respect was not afforded to John Kerry and Max Cleland, I decline to give it to him.

10. The entire email. I thought this was funny until I read what he said and how he said it.

If he has a wife I bet he is abusive, at least emotionally to her.

Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!

I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.

You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!

Steadfast and Loyal

Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)

11. It is a good thing West cannot shut his mouth - they easier to beat

him in the next election.

12. I guess West heard from his seniors after the DWS comment

Ha Ha they blew up his phones and got him to go off.
He is the reason that redistricting is so important.
He will not be reelected....I hope...

13. West is now using his email

as a fundraiser.

The man is a FREAK!! But, it really should backfire on him. I, for one will donate AS MUCH AS I
CAN TO THE DEMOCRAT who runs against him. We do not need Allen West in the US Congress.
