H/T Jared Law
I love this guy! The racist, hateful, radical left and their disgusting, Ku Klux Klan intimidation tactics must stop. If this were a radical leftist Democrat being victimized by hateful individuals, this would be front-page/leading story news for a month or two. But since it’s a conservative Republican Tea Party Congressman, they’re silent as the hills. The double standard would be breathtaking, if we weren’t so desensitized to it!
And THIS MAN SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH HONOR! He deserves FAR better treatment than he’s getting from the hate-filled leftist Democrats in Florida. But two points: 1) He’s not acting like a victim. He’s standing strong against the hateful leftist thugs who are attempting to intimidate him and his staff. 2) I would LOVE to see him on the stage in a debate with Barack Hussein Obama.
Obama WITHOUT his Teleprompters.
That would be a sight to see! Just imagine…
So before the articles on this subject, here are a couple of Fox News video clips for those who may not be familiar with Congressman Allen West (LTC. Ret):
West to Critics: Beware Whom You Target
By Shane D’Aprile | 04/13/11 10:30 AM ET
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 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.’ “
“I find it interesting that in all of these instances, the media simply dismissed the incidents,” West said. “One might wonder — is it open season on a principled black conservative?”
West, a retired Army colonel, has become a national figure among Tea Party activists since defeating Democrat Ron Klein last November. The Florida Republican will be a top target of national Democrats seeking to regain the majority in the House in 2012.
“Let me be very clear to all reading this missive, but mostly to liberals who subscribe to this behavior, be careful of whom you are choosing to employ these tactics against,” wrote West. “I consider myself an easy-going fella who will always engage in intense intellectual exchange. However, if you choose this path of personal attacks, intimidation, and threats you will encounter a very different Congressman (LTC. Ret) Allen B. West.”

Rep. Allen West, who received a derogatory letter with mysterious white powder in it last week, has some stern words for his menacing critics.
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.”
West, a retired Army colonel, has become a national figure among Tea Party activists since defeating Democrat Ron Klein last November. The Florida Republican will be a top target of national Democrats seeking to regain the majority in the House in 2012.

“I find it interesting that in all of these instances, the media simply dismissed the incidents,” West said. “One might wonder — is it open season on a principled black conservative?”
He ended his letter on a bit of a macho note: “Let me be very clear to all reading this missive, but mostly to liberals who subscribe to this behavior, be careful of whom you are choosing to employ these tactics against…I consider myself an easy-going fella who will always engage in intense intellectual exchange. However, if you choose this path of personal attacks, intimidation, and threats you will encounter a very different Congressman (LTC. Ret) Allen B. West.”
