I really thought racism was the purview of the Republican hard right..., but...

It's seems to be a Democrat strong suit.

Breitbart News contacted Allen West's office for comment and just received this from the Congressman himself:

I spent my life in uniform fighting for our great nation and protecting all Americans. The ad being run against me by my opponent's family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible. It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors. The American people are suffering from crushing debt, horrific tax and regulatory policies, and epic unemployment. This classless ad shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation. This ad reflects the sad state of politics in our Republic with those who seek to destroy a person's character to cover for their lack of intellectual ability and integrity.

Congressman West is exactly right that the ad comes from his opponent's family.

...

When you consider the hyper-sensitive racial environment created by Obama's Media Palace Guards, it's not hard to imagine how they might react were this a pro-Romney super PAC ad showing Obama beating an old white woman senseless.

But the very same media that uses the cry of racism to protect Obama from criticism on issues ranging from food stamps to his dismantling of welfare reform, isn't likely to make a very big deal out of a black Congressman being depicted as a woman-beating thief.

After all, the media doesn’t see West as black, they see him as a sell-out apostate.

Is this teaching Colonel West his proper place?

A disembodied boxing glove punching a cartoon androgynous woman is racist now?

I just watched the ad. It's not racist at all, especially considering the whole message is about his "attacks on seniors". The ad goes on to show Alan West punching a black family too so it looks like he's an equal-opportunity puncher.

There's a shady violence-against-women psudo-subliminal message there that's got my thumbs-up to criticize though. But it's not surprising though that your conservative blog doesn't give a crap about that.

Hey, you won't see what you don't want to see...

Substitute Barack Obama for Allen West and you betcha RoryN and his traveling racism show would be here in a heartbeat for an honest discussion of who Republicans really are...



I'd be willing to bet that you would see it too!

If there was an anti-Obama ad with him boxing both black people and white people I would not think it's racist either.

Your whole article and indeed your own spoon-fed opinion depend on suppressing the fact that the ad shows West boxing black people too. Like five of them.

So you enjoyed "Birth of a Nation."

Situational victimization fetish. Every fucking politician (and their pundit cheerleaders) has it.
