Emily’s List, the radically pro-abortion PAC, is attempting to raise money off Congressman Allen West’s comments about Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
It all started when, after being attacked on the House floor by DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz, West responded in an email to Schultz.
He wrote:
Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. 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.
Schultz has repeatedly attacked the GOP for being anti-woman and even said recently that Republicans want to bring back Jim Crow laws so you might see why West hit back hard.
I’m not sure I agree with West’s tone but it’s certainly not sexist. And I really don’t understand how West’s comments will be ameliorated by a donation to a PAC that’s committed to electing pro-choicers who will vote for liberalizing abortion laws. Allen West was mean so more babies must die. Makes sense, right?
Emily’s List sent out a mass mailing saying:
Speak Out Against Allen West’s Sexist Behavior
Cong. Allen West’s angry, hostile tirade to DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is truly despicable. If you had any doubt about the Republican war on women, look no further than West’s email — it’s threatening, sexist and demeaning. We can’t sit by and watch such an appalling action from one of our elected officials. Tell Allen West that you are standing with Debbie against this outrageous and despicable behavior.
Allen West is quickly making himself a target. Be assured that Emily’s List will be pushing for a pro-abortion woman to go up against him. Something tells me she’ll be quite well funded.

Isn't West black? I thought it was racist to criticize a black politician, but maybe that only applies to Obama…

I don't have a problem with West's tone to DWS. She IS truly awful and it's about time the GOP took the gloves off with these people.

Kudos to Rep. Allen West!

Wasn't she the one responsible for sending out flyers with his SSN# and his wife's work ID # on it during his campaign? Then she waits for him to leave the floor to attack him, so he doesn't have a chance to respond then and there. Nice.
What is amazing is the "zeal" we see from the left whenever they are caught lying. The CONSTANT drone of "Republican's want to kill Medicare" is just sickening. Makes me want to vomit that people could so blatantly lie about others and simultaneously express outrage.
I left politics because of just this thing. It made me sick how the left feels so comfortable and justified in lying. They believe their own BS and they thing the ends justifies the means. Then I would have to choke down my food of Thanksgiving dinners listening to my relatives say how all politicians are the same. No they are not the same.
Utterly disgusting. I shudder for our country. From Abortion to every moral deviance. How much longer will God's hand of justice be restrained?

Alan West is the one Republican I would love to see elected president. He has the knowledge of history, and the experience of command to do a really fine job. And as we have seen repeatedly, he speaks his mind.

Evan…
It's only racist if you criticize a black liberal. I can't even begin to list the black conservatives who have been vilified by liberals and the media.
I am also of the opinion that it's about time we stop being so "nice". Liberals are fighting to win. We should too.

I'm a WIDOW, mother of 3 (now adults) and I side with West!
It is time to stop apologizing to these people, for no real reason. They NEVER do the same when in the wrong. NEVER! And Politically correct is out of control. Soon we will have to apologize for our color—

I tried to post this on Facebook and they blocked it saying it had objectionable material.

Facebook stinks

I wonder what the Pope thinks of starving people, when he doesn't want them to use birth control.
