Speaking to a Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach for the Palm Beach County GOP, Rep. Allen West (R-Fla) fired off a humdinger of a line that within minutes drew recriminations from Democrats on Twitter.
"We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, (audience boos) and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table," West said. "Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America."
Following cheers, West added, "Yeah I said 'hell.'"
Moments after the quote was mentioned on Twitter, former Reid spokesman Jim Manley responded via his own Twitter feed: "Me to allen west. You first asshole."
And they say politics is getting more acrimonious.
Allen West To Liberals: Get the Hell Out Of The U.S.
So, when did West say "liberals"?
Are you finally taking ownership of " equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial spirit" a well as high taxes, political correctness, permanent underclasses, greed, equality of outcome and large intrusive government?
Feeling a bit guilty, are we?
How angry and hateful are you now? He he he..
Face facts. Your ideology is unpopular with most Americans. That fact bore itself out when less than 25% of those polled after the 2010 elections identified themselves as "liberal".
Now, you'll flame away. You'll scramble to dispute my post.
Your response is immaterial because facts are facts.
Why you started this thread, other than my suspicion that West's comments made you seethe, is a mystery.
Sometimes the truth hurts and ya just have to suck it up and deal.
