Allen West backs Ted Nugent

Source: Politico


Ted Nugent doesn’t bear “any ill will” toward President Barack Obama, Rep. Allen West said Thursday despite the rocker’s appointment with the Secret Service over his controversial comments.

“I think he was just expressing maybe his opinion about something and of course everyone wants to sensationalize things but let's leave it up to the Secret Service to interview him and get to the bottom of it,” West, a Florida Republican, told CNN’s Soledad O’Brien when asked about Nugent’s comments.

“I don’t think the Motor City Madman has any ill will toward the President of United States of America,” he said.

But O’Brien argued that Nugent’s feelings about Obama have been clear – it’s the violent intentions that are debatable, she said, adding “No, I don’t think he likes him at all. I think there’s a lot of ill will.”

That's been the problem all along, Allen. YOU DON'T THINK.

How'd you get into office? Oh, yeah, it's a certain district inside the GUNSHINE state of Florida.

5. Just to let you know, he's too scared to run for re-election in that district.

After seeing his chances, he did a Sir Robin and high-tailed to another district that he thought was more favorable. But the way things are going now, hopefully he'll banish himself from elected politics forever simply by opening his mouth.

Who are the unlucky ones to get this reverse gerrymandering move?

I'll try to warn them!

What do you expect from a self admitted child molester and pants shitter? He was to big of a coward to serve in the Army but he sure likes to run his mouth now.

If the KKK came and took his family away Allen West would sympathize with the victims...the KKK. Hes the GOPBAGGERS new biggest Uncle Tom, Step and Fetch it award winner. Black people get it that some may side with the party of the klan. Thats there right to do. But there are more who never will. Turd Nugget Ted is less then whats on the bottom of my shoes. Hes not worth me mentioning. I hope we as a nation no matter what race we are we can come together and Vote these sick sociopaths out. All of them. Not one goose stepper left! No more in the House or Congress and the White House must stay occupied by Obama and Joe Biden. Vote Democrat down the line in November! Vote for sane people not the opposite. Vote for life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Not for the GOP. Who will lie and let the people die so the rich can have more and more. They are the perfect party for the antichrist. I'll bet they are so vain as to try and take the right to vote away from all who voted for Obama near or around Election day. Good luck trying to do that.
