Allen West for VP!!!
Allen West Offended Everyone When He Ordered Chick-Fil-A For Entire Congressional Black Caucus
by Noah Rothman
Rep. Allen West reportedly offended the entire Congressional Black Caucus when he delivered a selection of Chick-fil-A chicken and biscuits to the members’ weekly meeting. CBC Chairman Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) told The Huffington Post that, despite the incident happening six months ago, it is still fresh in their minds and every member was offended.
Despite that this incident occurred months prior to the public dustup that followed Chick-fil-A’s CEO voicing his support for traditional marriage, Hastings told The Huffington Post that the members of the CBC were offended by West’s choosing that particular fast food chain to cater their meeting.

That, right there is the operative line in this steaming pile of excrement. This happened 6 months ago and the (racist) Congressional Black Circus is just getting around to voicing how offended it was NOW?!?!?
I call bullshit. :bs2flag:

West spokeswoman Angela Melvin said his choice of Chick-fil-A “had nothing to do†with the company’s values or stance on marriage.
“He loves Chick-fil-A,†Melvin told ABC News. “Catered the event on something that was affordable and what average Americans eat. The fact that Mr. Hastings would turn this into anything else is laughable and desperate.â€
Melvin said West spent about $600 on the Chick-fil-A meal and that there was “not a plate left†by the end of the meeting. :panic: :rofl:

WHAT?
No watermelon seeds to spit around? I'd be pissed, too! ::)

Allen West to Alcee Hastings on Chick-Fil-A: Did you expect filet mignon and caviar? :rofl:
U.S. Rep. Allen West accused fellow Congressman Alcee Hastings of “political elitism†over comments Hastings made to an online media site about an alleged Chick-Fil-A incident.
Hastings told the Huffington Post that West had offended the entire Congressional Black Caucus about six months ago, when he brought in chicken and biscuits from Chick-Fil-A when it was his turn to provide lunch at a weekly meeting.
Responding to Hastings comments, West said today he did not recall any controversy over the meal in question, adding that there was nothing left of the food when the meeting was over. He questioned Hastings’ motives, calling it a case of “political elitism.â€
“’It is the American taxpayers’ dollars being used,’ West said. ‘I don’t feel like it’s my responsibility to go out and get steak and lobster tails for the members of the Congressional Black Caucus.’â€

Retroactive outrage.

And if they started complaining, tell them if it's good enough for troops, it's good enough for them.

Do ya get the idea that when West attends CBC meetings, he isn't invited to the sidebar conversations at the
bar water cooler?
