VIDEO: Tea Party Speaker Declares, ‘I Don’t Care If They Call Me an Extremist’

Posted on | July 5, 2010 | 25 Comments

Notice that Lt. Col. Allen West wore a Gadsden Flag — “Don’t Tread on Me!” — T-shirt at this weekend’s Ft. Lauderdale Tea Party rally:

It’s all great, but the money quote is at 2:27:

“Let me tell you: I don’t care if Ron Klein’s office calls me a radical. I don’t care if they call me an extremist. Because I’d rather be standing here with you all today than to be standing with the Speaker of the House that said unemployment checks are the way that you create jobs.”

    Allen West is the Real Deal! When I talked with JC Watts last month, he singled out West (along with Tim Scott and Bill Hardiman) as an excellent candidate who will be among the 4 or 5 Black Republicans elected to Congress this fall.

    gg — nothing cries alternate-reality fantasy more than a President failing to convince European governments they need to spend more to get out of debt.

    Why didn’t THIS man run for President in 2008! He clearly is FOR America, Pro America, Pro the people. God bless him! I sure do hope that Florida will take advantage and clean sweep Col. Allen West straight to the White House. Florida you are blessed to have someone like him! Don’t let him get away. Put him in Washington!!!
