Allen West Ousted From NAACP Event Over Communist Remark

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.

Here's a look at some other notable statements from West (This is a Definition of Sambo, Uncle Tom, and Oreo I will use when asked.  Look at the number of blacks today who just hate other blacks. Wonder what Paul Robeson would think of his Communist Rants today?):

"It's much the same as Alexis de Tocqueville talked about in 'Democracy In America' -- that this American republic will collapse once Congress and obviously our president realizes they can bribe the public by using the public's treasury," Allen West told a Florida Tea Party group.

"I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party," Allen West said at a town hall. "It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus."

"You want to talk about something that's really racist?" West said at a Florida retirement home, referring to a 10 percent tax on tanning salons. "They have a tanning tax. I'm not tanning."

Mocking Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) for wearing a hoodie on the House floor, West said, "I'm thinking about a University of Tennessee big orange colored hoodie-footie, and, you know, see if I can sneak by the security and get in there."

"This is another example of the bureaucratic nanny-state not considering the economic ramifications of its insidious regulatory policies," West said of a proposed regulation to make all public pools handicapped-accessible. "I have talked with and received letters from several South Florida hotels saying this is a wasteful exercise that will cost Florida businesses a lot of money and accomplish nothing."

"Anyone challenging me on my support to this visionary plan to restore our economic security will be signing up for a suicide mission," West wrote on his Facebook about the Ryan budget. "My recommendation to any detractors, read Proverbs 17:28 and heed its advice. It is time for those who understand how to govern, not demagogue."

West credited the possibility of a Republican winning the 2012 election for helping improve the stock market. "I would think maybe the markets are looking five to six months down the road when we have a change in leadership in this country," he said on Fox.

West wrote on his Facebook that Barack Obama should stop talking about the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
"Please stop with the Osama Bin Laden line, U.S. Navy SEALS double-tapped that rascal," he wrote.

West warned that the U.S. might not be doing enough to protect Israel against Iran:
"You're looking at a second Holocaust" if Israel doesn't "know they can trust and depend upon the stars and stripes ... to provide them support," West told attendees of a town hall meeting last week at First Baptist Church in West Palm Beach, Fla., according to the Palm Beach Post.
"The Democratic appetite for ever-increasing redistributionary handouts is in fact the most insidious form of slavery remaining in the world today, and it does not promote economic freedom," West said in a speech.

 "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," West said, referring to Democratic leaders. "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."

"If Joseph Goebbels was around, he'd be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine," West said in a speech.

"I'm here as the modern day Harriet Tubman to kind of lead people on the Underground Railroad away from that plantation into a sense of sensibility," West said while making an analogy in which he also compared black leaders like Reps. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) to a "plantation boss."

In an email to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), West wrote, "You are the most vile, unprofessional and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up."
