Rep. Allen West Cracked Under Pressure?





Democrats can spin anything. When Rep. Allen West (R) laid into DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wassermann Schultz about her vile character and unlady like treatment of fellow congressmen. She attributed his “outburst” as some sort of mental breakdown, that he had succumbed to the pressures of his office.


Is this woman really going to go there? Rep. Allen West, a leader of men, who served two tours in Afghanistan can’t handle a bunch of backstabbing lowlifes in Washington D.C. Is that what Debbie Wassermann Schultz expects us to believe?


And as you can expect, a Democrat can make a fund raiser out of mouse fart. Here is the latest:

"You are the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the US House of Representatives... you are not a Lady."


- Republican Congressman Allen West in an e-mail to Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz



Friend --


Last night, Republican Rep. Allen West sent a disgraceful e-mail outburst to one of our most accomplished colleagues in the House, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, telling her to "shut the heck up" for daring to challenge the GOP plan to gut Medicare and Social Security to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.


I wish I could say I was surprised.


Unfortunately, this is exactly the sort of partisan tantrum we're used to from House Republicans as they push our economy to the brink of disaster while pandering to their Tea Party base.



We can't let this shameful display go unanswered.


Contribute $3 or more right now to help us defeat disgraceful Republicans like Allen West in 2012. My Democratic colleagues are so appalled that they've agreed to match all gifts today dollar-for-dollar up to our $100,000 goal.


This kind of appalling behavior is all too familiar from Congressman West, who has riled up his extremist right-wing base by attacking progressive women for "neutering American men," calling supporters of President Obama, "a threat to the gene pool" and writing for a misogynist magazine that denigrated women with words I'd be ashamed to even repeat.


And now that he's in Congress, West thinks he can attack a respected legislator likeCongresswoman Wasserman Schultz with this kind of hate-filled screed.


Allen West has shown us his true colors, now let's show him ours.


Contribute right now to help throw Allen West and his Tea Party colleagues out in 2012.
Let's make sure Republicans don't forget this moment.


Rep. Steve Israel
DCCC Chairman



Contribute $3.00? Are you kidding me? I wonder if they accept food stamps.
