Allen West: #BringBackOurGirls Is Just A Distraction From #Benghazi

The Obama administration is latching onto a mass kidnapping in Nigeria as part of a "wag the dog" ploy to draw Americans' attention away from the truth about the Benghazi attacks, according to former Rep. Allen West (R-FL).

Last month, West argued on his blog that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's racist remarks and subsequent ban from the NBA were receiving an undue amount of coverage compared to still-unanswered questions about the 2012 attacks in Libya. The Fox News contributor went a step further on Monday when he implied that first lady Michelle Obama attempted to distract from Benghazi by decrying a radical Islamist group's abduction of more than 270 Nigerian schoolgirls.

"Are we witnessing an Obama 'Wag the Dog' moment with Boko Haram in Nigeria?" West wrote. "I say yes."

The first lady joined a Twitter hashtag campaign, #BringBackOurGirls, last week to raise awareness of the missing girls captured by Boko Haram:

5. Ordinarily I pay as much attention to West and his ilk...

as I do to the flies hovering over a pile of dogshit, but this is really so outrageous and disgusting that I start thinking the only answer is to just beat the dogshit out of him.

Do I really have top point out that, aside from the basic humanity of rescuing these girls, for a black man to discount selling them into slavery is about as low and ignorant as it gets.

6. He Is Losing His Touch, Sir

If, by next weekend, he is not claiming Boko Haram and Obama co-ordinated this whole thing to get Beghazi off the news and put the Moslem Brotherhood's pawn, Mrs. Clinton, in the Oval Office, I am going to wonder what those monsters have done to the real Allen West....

7. West, there is a glaringly obvious reason you are a FORMER Representative

They say still waters run deep. You're a babbling brook, has been.
