Allen West: I Am The Modern-Day Harriet Tubman (this will go over well)

West, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, told show host Laura Ingraham that she was "absolutely" correct to say that Congressional black leaders like Reps. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) or Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) function as a "plantation boss."

"What you end up having -- I’m going to be brutally honest -- is that white liberals have turned over to certain leaders or ‘perceived leaders’ in the black community, like a Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Maxine Waters or Barbara Lee, and said, you know, pacify and keep the black community firmly behind us, regardless of the failures of our social welfare policies," West continued.

He better watch his back. Maxine Waters is going to get him somehow. She will make DWS's response look like a nursery rhyme.

1. He's decided to pick a fight with Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters?

This will not end well -- for him.

3. He did more than pick a fight.

He called them out in the worst way. If they don't openly smack the shite out of him, he better worry. They will have some unseen plan aimed his way which will be much, much worse. They probably will anyway.

2. He's not a member of the CBC

They asked him if he wanted to be a member and he refused.

This guy is all kinds of wrong. I know there are people here in SoFla who can't believe they voted for him and that he's this wackadoodle. Of course some of them are racists who claim that they can't be racist because they voted for him. I always have to scratch my head on that one.

6. I guess we can refer to him as the GOP Uncle Tom.

Seems reasonable.

4. Reciting the right wing talking points verbatim. He must be getting paid well.

5. Riiiiight. The only thing he has in common with her is skin tone.
