Allen West demands that Think Progress retract its coverage of his town hall. Updated at 9:31 PM
He demands it.
Rep. Allen West Demands Retraction of 'Inaccurate' Town Hall Coverage
Rep. Allen West is disputing the account by a left-wing website, ThinkProgress, that the congressman "pre-screened" questions at his town hall meetings this week. After a small group of protesters tried to disrupt a meeting in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, a more civil gathering was conducted in Boca Raton on Wednesday evening.
Angela Sachitano, spokeswoman for West, R-Plantation, issued this statement Thursday about ThinkProgress' coverage and the events:
"The article is factually incorrect and we have already demanded a retraction.
"The facts are in both town halls:
"Congressman West did not prescreen his questions and didn't even see them ahead of time.
And I wonder if the radio host who spent 17 hours in lock up and was maced....would agree.
Wonder how the Florida media is covering this? Take a look.
Liberals take aim at Allen West
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Taking a page from the tea party activists who hammered Democrats at their town hall meetings two summers ago, liberal partisans are making signs, preparing pointed questions, and turning out for Republican congressional town hall meetings.
They're hoping to score political points and also seeking political gold — embarrassing YouTube moments.
Tuesday night was U.S. Rep. Allen West's turn.
A small contingent of protesters showed up two hours before his monthly Broward County town hall meeting. Inside, they disrupted the town hall several times.
Amazing, isn't it? Remember the Rick Scott funded town hall riots? They never got called down, did they?
There are several mainstream media posts that take the right wing point of view. NBC Miami is the winner of the most right wing article about the arrest.
Radio show host nearly causes riot at GOP town hall meeting
by Todd Wright
Hosting a radio show doesn't mean people always want to hear what you have to say.
Nicole Sandler found that out the hard way Tuesday when she was arrested for turning Congressman Allen West's town hall meeting into a scene from the Wild, Wild West.
Sandler, who broadcasts her radio show on radioornot.com and used to host an Air America show, was charged with trespassing after she refused to leave the meeting when asked by police in attendance.
She bonded out Wednesday afternoon after nearly 17 hours locked up.
Locked up for 17 hours.
I never heard about any of the "rioters" being locked up during the health care town halls.
It is amazing how Allen West is becoming a real hero to people here. It scares me.

I also can't help but think how often they say we think of Obama as the scary black guy, yet they are scared shitless of this black man.

1. Note the semantic back flip there.....
Congressman West did not prescreen his questions
Of course he didn't prescreen them himself. But that doesn't say he didn't have it done by his people.
Plausible deniability. It ain't just for breakfast any more.
I'm guessing because Obama does that, then every black man must, right?

33. I have noticed that. Updated at 9:31 PM
He really believes he should not be questioned.
I know all black men look alike to you DUmmies, but Congressman West is not Obama.

21. Sure seems like a lot of folks just adore him. Updated at 9:31 PM
It puzzles me so much.
It's because you are a socialist loving DUmmy, that you can't figure out why he is such a good man.

27. The media loves him, and the teaparty loves him. Senior citizens especially. Updated at 9:31 PM
They don't seem aware or to care if he is trying to take away their Medicare and Social Security...the elderly white folks here seem to adore him. I can not figure it out.
Now how is it the second coming of the KKK, the Tea Party, could love Congressman West?
I just made many DUmmy lurkers heads explode with that statement.

34. Ah, you know what it is MF. The old white people like him
because he's their "one of my best friend is". 
No matter how racist they are, they can't be racist because they like and voted for a black guy.
If they were racist, wouldn't they not support him?
I sure hope that Congressman West will be President West someday.
