Rep. Allen West Fires Back Against “Classless” and “Reprehensible” Ad That Shows Him Punching an Old White Lady (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, August 10, 2012, 6:32 AM
Rep. Allen West (R-FL) slammed the “duplicitous hypocrisy” of the liberal left.
“They believe they can do anything, especially if you’re a black conservative. Now, think about this. Think if the Republican Party or a PAC made a video depicting a black Democrat or politician punching a white women and white seniors, I’m sure MSNBC and NBC and the Huffington Post and everyone would be going apoplectic right now. But, once again, they’re different rules and we see that right now coming out against Governor Romney, as well. There’s lies, there’s cheating, there’s anything they can possibly do to get the election to swing on their side… I think the desperation shows through and we’ve got the bad guys just where we want them.”
West was on FOX and Friends this morning:
FOX News reported via Free Republic:
Republican Rep. Allen West on Thursday decried as “classless” and “reprehensible” a new campaign ad that depicts him repeatedly punching women in the face.
The Florida congressman put out the statement as the ad, from a political group financed by his potential Democratic opponent’s father, began to draw national attention beyond his South Florida district.
The startling ad opens by showing a cartoonish version of West in a boxing ring. It then shows his boxing gloves punching first an elderly woman — showing a freeze frame of spit flying out of her mouth, punctuated by a loud “thwack” — and then a younger woman.
The punches land as the narrator lists the groups of people West has supposedly wronged.
“Allen West fancies himself a fighter, maybe so,” the narrator says. “West has socked it to seniors, voting to end Medicare as we know it.”
It continues: “He’s whacked women with his votes for huge cuts in women’s health care funding and he’s mauled middle-class families.”
West said the ad reflects a “sad state of politics” in the country.
“The ad being run against me by my opponent’s family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible,” West said. “It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors. The American people are suffering from crushing debt, horrific tax and regulatory policies, and epic unemployment. This classless ad shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation.”
American Sunrise PAC, which ran the ad, is largely funded by Thomas Murphy Jr., the father of Democratic candidate Patrick Murphy.

Classless Marxists, at it again. Delusional distortion is the flavor of the month.
tommy mc donnell commented:
at least west fired back, most republicans would have apologized for punching the woman.
Sasja commented:
These dhims have fallen so far into the sewer that they’ll never be able to extracate themselves even if they wanted. So covered in filth their stench can be detected miles away.
Sasja commented:
extricate.

The REAL Allen West is Mike Tyson….Slow the commercial down and you will see that half milli second subliminal split frame shot where the little black boy gets his ear bitten off by West.
Patty commented:
Sooner or later when you are a patriot with opinions that tell the truth and touch a nerve they come after you. And West has been outspoken and courage under fire. He and Palin should write a book.
West is among wussies in his own party who fear Obama, apparently, that is how I see and I salute West’s courage.

The problem is, MILLIONS will see this ad, and about ten people will see Wests response to it. The MSM should be ashamed of themselves, but they won’t be, because their greed and self-serving corruption has gotten the better of them. I don’t know what the solution to this mess is, besides letting them run the country into the ground until they starve, and then coming in and picking up the pieces when it’s all over…
Atlas Shrugged ….
Patty commented:
Media is in the bag for Obama, again. Wish with 4 years of heartbreak that this wouldn’t happen again. But looky looky, it has. Only in America, remember that name for our Country because if Obama is elected that too may change.
And with Media backing it.

Dagwood commented:
The ad is kinda growing on me. At least the part where he “punches” a woman who resembles Debbie WassermanTest Schultz.
Rachelle commented:
Democratic Party has taken propaganda lessons from the Nazi party.
JoyO commented:
Just remember the ads against West are being funded by George Soros in his goal for a socialist world with him pulling all of the strings to move the serfs in America and the rest of the world.
We’ve already contributed to West twice…may do it again if Soros keeps funding these ads!
Bufalobob commented:
Hell soros and the obama team could run an add using every despicable pejorative, and the MSM and Hollywood would think it’s cute and cutting edge.
valerie commented:
I SO wanted Michael Steele to talk like this, when he was attacked this way. Maybe we needed someone to try the mild approach first, to make people understand that the more pointed responses of Rep. West are necessary.
Jim, thank you, Free Republic and Fox for including the names of the people responsible for this ad, namely the American Sunrise PAC, and it’s primary funder Thomas Murphy Jr., the father of Democratic candidate Patrick Murphy.
