Rep. Allen West: Obama is a low level socialist agitator
Allen West: 'Barack Hussein Obama' Is A 'Low-Level Socialist Agitator' (VIDEO)
Eric Kleefeld | April 22, 2011, 12:16PM

Appearing Thursday night on Fox News with Greta Van Susteren, freshman Rep. Allen West (R-FL) had some remarkably tough things to say about President Obama's recent address on the budget deficit and criticism of the Republican budget.

"I am sick and tired of this class warfare, this Marxist demagogic rhetoric that is coming from the President of the United States of America," said West. "It is not helpful for this country, and it's not gonna move the ball forward as far as rectifying the economic situation in our country. And I am not gonna back away from telling what the truth is."

West's appearance served as follow-up to remarks he had made on Laura Ingraham's talk radio show, where he called Obama "a low-level socialist agitator," and a person who showed "third world dictator-like arrogance" in the budget speech.

During his Fox appearance, West further stood by those comments, when Van Susteren asked whether those comments were helpful to advancing his convictions.

2. The more vile they become...
The happier I am that Obama is POTUS. He's not perfect, but if he's pissing this ghouls off, he's doing something right.

7. He's not perfect...
because Congress is broken, especially his first 2 years with a 24/7 fillubuster and lots of worthless DINOs....not sure why Obama is the first president to get blamed for a broken congress?

He truly is the only adult in the room ------------->http://blackwaterdog.wordpress.com/

11. That's the "gimme"
People do expect him to absolutely control Congress, which is ridiculous. They also expect him to be reactionary, get all pissed off and yell about crap, be a hard ass at every turn, and use extraordinary means to achieve a progressive end, even the means used by BushCo that we all railed against. That would be perfection in the eyes of many. Not mine.

18. True, but even with a 24/7 filibuster and lots of worthless DINOs
and a broken congress, we still got...


Two great choices for Supreme Court.

The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

The Matthew Shepard Hates Crimes Prevention Act (which they said could not be done)

Children's Health Insurance

Tobacco Regulation

Credit Card Reform

Student Loan Reform

The Stimulus (including the largest tax cut ever, the largest investment in clean energy ever, the single largest investment in education in our country ever)

Health Reform

Wall Street Reform

The New G.I. Bill

The Food Safety Modernization Act (the most expansive food reform bill since the 1930s)

The Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal

The New Start Treaty (even when the (R)s said he would never be able to get it passed)


Most of that list is from The Rachel Maddow Show and is included in this clip
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#4077...


Even though most of it is not as progressive as we would like, they are all steps forward instead of moving backward (like we did on trade, among other things).

3. Disgraced former military officer Allen West?
The guy that resigned before he would be drummed out of the Army after disgracing the uniform and his commission?

Why on Earth would I want to listen to one thing he blabbers about?


He would shit his pants if Mr. Obama lit into him, it would be embarrassing for West to have his massive ignorance put on display for the entire world to see.

But it's safe to remain on the back bench and lob spitballs.



Prediction: He will not have a good end.
