Allen West Ousted From NAACP Event

WASHINGTON -- It turns out calling Democratic lawmakers "Communists" has some consequences.

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) was supposed to be the keynote speaker at a fundraiser for his district chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) this past Saturday. But days before the event, the group canceled the gathering and asked West not to come back when they rescheduled. Why?

"There's a certain statement he made about Communists," Jerry Gore, president of the Martin County NAACP, told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers. "That statement alone ... we do not represent that type of atmosphere."

The NAACP chapter is rescheduling its banquet for Sept. 15, with a new keynote speaker. Gore told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers that a spokesman for West said he "understood" why the organization didn't want West to speak anymore.

West landed in hot water earlier this month after telling constituents at a town hall meeting that some 80 House Democrats "are members of the Communist Party. It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus." His remarks sparked outrage among Democrats -- Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said "not even Joe McCarthy would have said anything so stupid" -- but West later said he had no regrets about the ordeal.

Why the hell does the NAACP care about comments about commies?

22. If West moved in next door to any Teabaggers, they'd suddenly find one reason to hate him, too.

The Teabaggers like West right where he is, not living in their neighborhood.

You sphincter nugget...

...not only would I be delighted to have West as a neighbor I wish he was still serving so he could be my son's commanding officer.

5. and the teabaggers only like him because he acts as the beard for their racism...

You don't see any other people of color at those rallies.

Independent, self-sufficient, free.

The hallmarks of racism.

Not to be confused with the welfare pimps on the left who preach dependency at the expense of law.

One day that black guy will learn his place...

...until then the beatings will continue.

 :lmao: :rotf: :rofl:  No he didn't!  He was roundly applauded.  People were saying, "thank you for saying what I'm thinking."  

A voter writes to him via Gradegov:

Quote
Thankyou Congressman West for telling it like it is and exposing the Marxist Traitors in Congress and the White House.  You are a true Patriot.  God Bless You.


This person identifies themselves as a democrat:

The naacp is only for the advancement of colored people who don't dare stray off the plantation.

They are actually shitting their pants because they realize that their "Conservatives are racist" meme is dying. We like people who think the same way we do.  We don't care if they are white, black or hispanic. People like being around like minded people. I think you people are the real racists. You think minorities who don't agree with you are "Uncle Tom's". Get back on the democratic plantation boy or we will have a high tech lynching.

Also, why are West's comments so offensive DUmmies?  Is it wrong to be a communist?

I'm sure Sharpton "lives" on the TV sets.

Especially when company comes over just to show they're good liberal credentials (except when the hired help is about...wouldn't want them getting any revolutionary ideas, you know).

More proof that in any leftist organization, by definition, everyone must think the same.
