Allen West on Obama’s NATO comments

So, he's a black man, who discriminates against members of our society, and wants to restrict one of our most important rights? This man is, well, an awful American for wanting to restrict free speech. He's absurd!

 

Please discuss the topic Allen West on Obama’s NATO comments and do so respectfully, or you will be removed from the thread.

Thanks

LOL Talk about delusional thinking. Where do you people come up with this nonsense?

 

But I thought we conservatives hate black people. We like Allen West so much and respect his service so much, there can only be one reason: He's not really black. He's just disguised as a black man, right?

Same goes for Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Larry Elder, Alan Keyes, Alveda King, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Michael Steele, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, and all the rest. Its all a big scam. White people dressed up as blacks.

 

The racist left hates blacks. Just ask all black conservatives. West is well spoken and is a patriot.

 

I wanted to make such a well spoken post. I fell way short.

Haha still doing better than the "thugs"

Patriot if he is so good why did he get voted out of congress???

 

Would his loss mean he is less of a patriot?

 

By all means, back up this claim with evidence.

 

Yes and he is an idiot that is why he lost.

 

Same could be said for Al Gore.

 

Like anyone cares what West has to say. lol Even the folks who elected him turned on him and got rid of him.

 

Al Gore actually won it was the Supreme Court that gave it to Bush. Sadly we watch Republicans ruin the country after that

 

Your logic is dazzling. I'm trying my best to keep up.

 

Umm logically he lost his election and cried fowl like so many Tea Party people, only to still lose. Logically if he was good at his job he would have been re-elected. This make two jobs he was lousy at and pretty much fired from both.

 

I guess that's why they allowed him to quit in lieu of being court marshalled.

West has been a reliable totem for right wing organizations to fundraise off of.

The sort of people who lionize people like West, Herman Cain, and Ben Carson, all throw lots of cash at the various front groups that uses these guys as front men.

In 2012, various right wing groups scammed more money out of the faithful by claiming that they were affiliated with Alan West, than West himself raised in his own campaign.

West knew it was going on. But playing the front man, has allowed him to keep in lucrative circulation.

This is what you get when you pick con men to be your standard bearers.

Here are some more scams in his name:

Allan West, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, etc. you gotta love them. This is a group of clowns in black face and nothing more.

 

Oh, so they strayed off the Democrat welfare plantation and actually became good citizens and successful Americans, and that makes them clowns.

Ya' gots to votes Democrat and tows Klansman Robert Byrd's line ta be a real blacks man, right Mazza"

 

You can lose ten jobs and still be every bit a patriot as you were before. I wonder if his being black has anything to do with your hatred of the man.

 

Ultra right wing radical Allen West has no credibility and is proven wrong again:




Fox News Contributor Allen West Busted by Fact-checking Site Blaming Obama for Policy Started by Bush



October 3, 2014 By Allen Clifton



Blaming President Obama for something that Bush did is nothing new for Republicans. Hell, they’ve been doing it since before Obama even moved into the White House. After all, these are the people who blame him for the millions of jobs we lost that were caused by the economic crash that was a direct result of the policies of the Bush administration.




The latest attempt to blame President Obama for something that occurred during the Bush administration comes in a comment made by frequent Fox News contributor Allen West, who claimed that the president was taking executive action to allow illegal immigrants to enlist in the United States military.

West posted on his Facebook page:

“Morning folks. While you were sleeping, Barack Hussein Obama took out his pen and ordered our Military to enlist illegal aliens. In other words, this charlatan has allowed those who have disrespected our Constitution and are not citizens to take an oath to support and defend the very document, our rule of law, of which they are in violation.”

First, let me get something off my chest. It infuriates me how disrespectful people like West are toward the office of the President of the United States. He’s the president, yet they’ll frequently call him “Mr. Obama” or Barack Hussein Obama. Purposefully leaving off his title in a blatant show of disrespect toward who he is.

Well, West’s little post here happens to be inaccurate, as Politifact found his statement to be “Mostly False.”


According to Politifact’s findings:


In December 2008, under President George W. Bush, the Defense Department announced a pilot program to temporarily allow certain legal aliens who were doctors or nurses — or could speak certain in-demand languages such as Haitian-Creole, Chinese or Farsi — to join the military. (Spanish is not on the language list.)

The program started with 1,000 recruits, and in May 2012 the cap was raised to 1,500 a year through Sept. 30, 2014. The program has been open to asylees, refugees, and certain categories of people who hold non-immigrant visas, such as students or workers. All told, the MAVNI program has enrolled about 2,900 individuals since its inception, Defense spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Nathan Christensen told PolitiFact.

Just days before the program was set to expire, Jessica Wright, the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, signed a memo that extended the program through the end of fiscal year 2016 and allowed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients to apply.
DACA — announced by Obama in 2012 — allows certain illegal immigrants who came to the country as children to apply for a renewable, temporary status that suspends deportation. As of the end of June 2014, about 580,000 individuals received initial deferred action under DACA. There are an estimated 11.7 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.

To summarize, all President Obama’s administration did was slightly extend a policy that was passed during the Bush administration.




So, if West thinks the president is some unconstitutional “charlatan” for simply extending one of Bush’s policies, I wonder what he thinks of our former president who actually created the policy.
And as Politifact concluded:

The program in question was initiated by Bush in 2008, before Obama was president. In addition, contrary to West’s sweeping suggestion, experts say it’s doubtful that many undocumented immigrants would be brought into the military. And Obama didn’t order the military to take illegal aliens but rather made it an option.

So, no matter how you try to slice it, West not only distorted the facts behind which president actually initiated this policy (Bush) but blatantly misled Americans into thinking that President Obama “ordered” the military to take illegal immigrants in. When all he did was slightly adjust the policy passed by his predecessor.

Here’s my suggestion for a new slogan for the GOP: Republicans, we’ll try to blame everything on President Obama – even if it’s a policy that was passed during the Bush administration.

West is a proven LIAR.

 

Yeah West served so well they asked this crackpot to leave

 

For good reason, too:

West resigned from the military in 2004, following an incident involving his unit’s treatment of an Iraqi man. West himself was charged with two violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, including one against assault, and agreed to retire after an Article 15 hearing in order to avoid a court martial.

 

He's enjoying a second career as a front man for various right wing websites and organizations that raise money off of his name.

It began even when he was running for his unsuccessful re election campaign. There were a host of websites claiming to be Alan West sites asking for money. None of it went to West's campaign.

I'll wager that many of the far right wing types who cheer West gave them cash to these crooks too!

West may have served his nation, but he does not have the experience to serve in the capacity of President. He's going to need a lot more experience if he expects to be President.
