COMMIE CON - Allen West: I've 'Heard' 80 House Dems Are Communists

U.S. Rep. Allen West told about 90 largely supportive Palm City voters Tuesday that locally prioritized federal projects — such as the St. Lucie Inlet dredging — aren't going to matter if Washington officials don't address a mounting deficit.

Later Tuesday evening, a Jensen Beach crowd of 100 with more than 15 protesters greeted the congressman with mixed support, cheers and jeers.

The conservative tea party icon also got in shots at Democrats and President Obama, who spoke Tuesday at Florida Atlantic University. West said Obama was "scared" to have a discussion with him. He later said "he's heard" up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn't name names.

Of course, no one in Republican leadership will denounce this clown.

10. Can't the House sanction him for this? Yes, I know, it's a Boner-run House, but still...

I thought the House had rules about disparaging other members, whether on the floor or off.

If he said that crap in St Lucie County he would be laughed out of the state. Instead he goes to the Repuke Bastion of Martin County. The same place where they hold tea Party meetings on the Roosevelt Bridge and have no idea who Roosevelt even was. Oh yeah and complain about the Socialist in the White House while using the Socialist Road to take them to the Socialist Bus and use their Socialist Internet to post their garbage. I hate that county with a passion.

... either that or what he "heard" came from some other part of his anatomy.
