West to critics: Beware whom you target
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) used an email to constituents to respond to a threat against his Florida office last week and to warn critics to "be careful of whom you are choosing to employ these tactics against."

Last week, West's Florida office received an envelope containing white powder and a letter with derogatory remarks directed at the congressman. A hazmat team later determined the powder wasn't harmful.

"This incident, is just another in several incidents that have occurred over the last couple of years and, have put me in quite a bad mood," West wrote in an email sent to constituents on Tuesday.

He offered the example of a "liberal blogger publicly stating that he wanted to 'skin me alive,' " and a protest outside his office led by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) "castigating me as a 'misogynist.' "

2. may be what he is saying is you can powder his ass. :D
OR if you attack a "black man" of his persuasion,
you have just justified a similar attack of a "black man" of an opposite persuasion.

OR

he is just threatening his attacker without any real knowlege/power of who he really is.

Your choice of your convenience.

4. To call West an asshole would be an insult to assholes, even unwashed ones.
How do West think he is threatening? If a psycho is determined to kill West, West is a good as dead. What West should be doing is promoting civility in public discourse. West is far too much of a moron to understand the benefits of improved civility in politics.
