Allen West: A real man who takes on a "lady"

[FCTP]

Dear Debbie, you're 'vile, unprofessional, despicable & not a lady' -- Allen West

Tea Party hothead Allen West blew up at fellow Broward U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz for her acerbic take on the Republican "cut, cap and balance" plan. Schultz, the Democratic National Committee Chair, all but named West ("the gentleman from Florida") in her criticism of the budget-cutting plan, which she said ruined Medicare and helped "Big Oil and companies that ship jobs overseas."

 

When he learned what she said (standard liberal/Democratic fare), West promptly trashed her by email, which Politico first obtained:

 

From: Z112 West, Allen
Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 04:48 PM
To: Wasserman Schultz, Debbie
Cc: McCarthy, Kevin; Blyth, Jonathan; Pelosi, Nancy; Cantor, Eric
Subject: Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman-Schultz

 

Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!

I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.

You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!

Steadfast and Loyal

Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)

 

Wasserman Schultz spokesman Jonathan Beeton said in a statement: "I don't think that Congressman West is upset at the Congresswoman, but rather with the fact that she highlighted that he and other Republicans are once again trying to balance the budget on the backs of seniors, children and the middle class..As someone who lives in Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz's Congressional district, Congressman West knows that we have hundreds of thousands of seniors in South Florida who have paid into Medicare throughout their lives and now rely on this program to keep them healthy and active."

Please run Allen... 2012 needs you.

OOH-RAH Colonel West!

[Chuck Morrison]

FL was able to get rid of that Grayson guy, so let's put some effort into getting rid of Wasserman-Schulz in 2012...sweep her out of office, however that won't happen when voters stay home instead of voting like in Duval mayoral race. You do know that she is married to the one of the most despicable talk-radio hosts on the air, Ed Schulz - the one who recently called Laura Ingraham a "right wing slut"?

As we have seen over and over again, when someone comes on the political scene who espouses our Founding Principles and Values the opposition attempts to tear this patriot down with a ridiculous campaign of ad hominen attacks.  Representative West, Sir, continue your mission.  We the People are behind you with our prayers and support.  Bunny Harrison

Billie,

Everything Alan West said is true.  This idiot - Debbie Wasserman Shultz is beyond the pale.  We need more of our representatives to take on these liberals!

 

[Jeff Stanch]

 

Good for Mr. West, verbally slapping down Debbie Downer.   She's a liar and a fraud like most of her cronies.

[Debbie G]

FINALLY, we have a representative in the house that dispenses with the nauseating practice of using "the honorable or the distinguished member from."

[Raymond Charles Parnell]

I wish we had a couple hundred more Rep. Allen West in Washington. THe Pelsoi clone, Wasserman-Schutz, is another embarrassment to Florida.

[Ron Ogletree]

"Tea Party Hothead."  Now there is another descriptive attempt to marginalize us and Allen West.  Any reply should be signed by Representative Tea Party Hothead.  Notice they left that part out?  LOL

 

I get his weekly updates and I know he holds lots of Town Hall meetings in his district.  He should now start holding them at senior centers and neighborhoods to bring his message of truth directly to them and YouTube the meetings.

I'm ready for a Cain/West ticket in November 2012.  I wish she would quit using the Wasserman in her name.  I was good friends with a Freddie Wasserman at UF in the 50's and I would hate to think that a nice guy like him might be related to the likes of

her!
