I don't think Allen West and I are watching the same election.

[font size="4"]Allen West: Obama Campaign Has 'Soviet Union, Marxist-Socialist Theme'[/font]
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/allen-west-obama-campaign-has-soviet-union-m

Tea party favorite Rep. Allen West (R-FL) is slamming President Barack Obama for using the word "Forward" as his campaign slogan, insisting that it is an "old Soviet Union, Marxist-Socialist theme."

"This is about whether we continue to be a republic governed by the Constitution," West told a Republican Jewish Coalition rally in Boca Raton, Florida on Sunday. "Or will we become a liberal-progressive, bureaucratic, welfare nanny state, which is exactly what the other side wants?"

He continued: "They want to bring out an old Soviet Union, Marxist-Socialist theme for their campaign called 'Forward'. I have to ask you one simple question. Where is the Soviet Union today?"

After the Obama campaign unveiled its campaign slogan in April, conservative outlets like The Washington Times and Breitbart.com warned that the word had a ties to Marxism.


Got it? The word "forward" is communist. If you love your children, don't let them play football. They could become not just communist, but communism itself! My God!!

What the hell kind of statement is that???

I could care less what crazy Allen West says, but what the heck does he being BLACK have to do with anything??? Does that mean he's supposed to act a certain way that makes YOU happy???

I'm offended by that.......

Race has nothing to do with the ability to think. I know that's obvious, but I thought you could use a reminder.

You don't see me judging you because you're Green.

Have you served in the military? I have served 22 years in the military and I'm not warped. I really think you ought to be careful how you word your statements.
