Allen West - Standing By His Craziness

Jan 3rd, 2011

Rep. Elect Allen West (R-FL) has said some nutty things in the past. From declaring himself to have a higher security clearance than The President to calling for the censorship of American journalists, he has come across as, well, crazy. Has he tempered his public pronouncements in the wake of the resultant withering criticism?

Nope. He officially doubled down on the crazy during an appearance yesterday on The Murdoch Device:

"Asked by host Chris Wallace if he was willing to stand by his comments that the "liberal, progressive" agenda was "tyrannical, socialist, despicable," West responded... "I think it is."

You'd think that someone who has been described by fellow veterans of the Iraq War as "a verified torturer, war criminal and a liar" might not play so fast and loose with words like "despicable."

"Is Freedom Doomed?!"

Hyperbole Award:


Okay. I watched this clip with J while looking for interesting media today. We both burst into hysterical laughter. The subject could have been treated with grace, but FOXBusiness' Judge Andrew P. Napolitano cracked us up.

While discussing the possibility that "Tea Party" candidates who might win this November could possibly (gasp) compromise or cooperate or something with veteran lawmakers, Napolitano asked "is freedom doomed" if they do so?

Wow. Napolitano needs to go get checked out by a really skilled professional.
