Good for him.  These race accusations are getting more and more ridiculous.

Rep. Allen West threatens to quit Congressional Black Caucus
By    Stephanie Condon

Tea Party-aligned Allen West, the only Republican member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), sent a letter to CBC Chairman Emanuel Cleaver today, asking him to disassociate the group with what he calls "race-baiting."

The letter comes in response to remarks from CBC members Andre Carson and Maxine Waters. Last week, Carson said some Tea Party-backed members of Congress would love to see African Americans "hanging on a tree." At a separate event, Waters said the Tea Party "can go straight to hell." Both remarks were premised on the notion that Tea Party-backed Republicans have blocked an economic agenda that would help minorities.

West called the remarks "unconscionable" and "appalling."

"As Chairman of the CBC, I believe it is incumbent on you to both condemn these types of hate-filled comments, and to disassociate the Congressional Black Caucus from these types of remarks," he wrote. "Otherwise, I will have to seriously reconsider my membership within the organization."

Carson's remarks were baseless and amounted to race-baiting, West said, adding that he considers race-baiting a racist tactic.

"All of us, especially Congressman Carson, Congresswoman Waters and others who have engaged in racially-motivated rhetoric, should follow the example of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., not the example of Reverend Jeremiah Wright," he wrote.

The line-up here at the TD RETHUGLITEACON BIG TOP CIRCUS is lame today for the teabaggers.

I should have guessed that the two trolls would find berating the Tea Party and using racist derogatory language  acceptable.

 

Good for the two of you. It keeps showing people what progressives are really like.

 

There can't be a 'black teabagger' rock, according to liberals, there are no blacks in the Tea Party.

Lt. Col. Allen West is FAR and ABOVE the caliber of human being and loyal American than D.W. Schultz, all the leftists, and most politicians will EVER be. In calling Lt. Col. Allen West a moron, your very own total lack of intelligence and closeted racism comes shining through. You should be proud, you are officially a moonbat. A moobat with and odd fixation on an act carried out by same sex participants... and circuses apparently... connection?

I'm not sure he had much time for 'dancing', unless you mean to miss bullets shot at him. You are an idjit ditto.

 

West entered active duty on November 1, 1983, at Fort Sill then attended the Field Artillery Officer Basic Course. He then completed airborne training at Fort Benning. West's first assignment was as an airborne infantry company fire support team leader and battalion training officer in the 325th Airborne Battalion Combat Team. He was promoted to captain in 1987 and graduated from the Field Artillery Officer Advanced Course.[9] West was next assigned to the 1st Infantry Division, commanding B Battery, 6th Field Artillery Regiment. He was a battalion task force fire support officer for 2d Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment. As a member of the 1st Infantry Division, he participated in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm.[9]

After redeployment from Kuwait, West served as an Army ROTC instructor at Kansas State University from 1991 to 1994, becoming the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year in 1993. In January 1995 he was assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division Support Command as the assistant operations/combat plans officer. West was promoted to major and attended the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in 1997. Upon completion, he became operations officer for the 18th Field Artillery Brigade before being assigned as executive officer of the 1st Battalion, 377th Field Artillery Regiment. West was an army exchange officer at the II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune from 1999 to 2002.[9]

He became battalion commander of the 2d Battalion 20th Field Artillery nicknamed "Deep Strike", 4th Infantry Division on June 6, 2002. He held this position until his retirement from the Army.[10]

The rest of the story...

 

In November 2003,  Allen B. West, Lt. Col., U.S. Army, was indicted on criminal assault charges for the psychological intimidation tactic he used to acquire vital intelligence from a captured enemy combatant in Iraq. Col. West's interrogation -- which included,  twice firing his sidearm away from the detainee -- obtained information of an imminent attack against soldiers under his command, undoubtedly saving an untold number of American lives. Apart from his prosecution, Col. West's so-called "criminal assault" produced other, more constructive results: "There were no further attacks from that town," notes the colonel. "We further apprehended two other conspirators (a third fled town) and found out one of the conspirators was the father of a man we had detained for his Saddam Fedayeen affiliation."

He now faces an Article 32 hearing scheduled for November 10 in Kir***, which could result in his court-martial. The 4th Infantry's divisional judge advocate initially offered West the option to resign his commission and forfeit his retirement benefits (one week short of his 20-year retirement eligibility) or face a general court-martial and a sentence of eight years in prison.

 

He resigned to avoid the consequences of his actions.. thats typical.

Well ditto, if you are going to sling sh**, at least finish the story.

 

While serving in Taji, Iraq, West received information from an intelligence specialist about a reported plot to ambush him and his men.[11] The alleged plot reportedly involved Yahya Jhodri Hamoodi, a civilian Iraqi police officer.[11] West, who was not responsible for conducting interrogations in Iraq and had never conducted nor witnessed one, had his men detain Hamoodi.[11] In the process of detaining Mr. Hamoodi, soldiers testified that Hamoodi appeared to reach for his weapon and needed to be subdued.[11] Hamoodi was beaten by four soldiers from the 220th Field Artillery Battalion on the head and body.[12] West then fired his pistol near Hamoodi's head,[11] after which Hamoodi provided West with names and information, which Hamoodi later described as "meaningless information induced by fear and pain."[11] At least one of these suspects was arrested as a result, but no plans for attacks or weapons were found.[11] West said "At the time I had to base my decision on the intelligence I received. It's possible that I was wrong about Mr. Hamoodi."[11]

West was charged with violating articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. During a hearing held as part of an Article 32 investigation in November 2003, West stated, "I know the method I used was not right, but I wanted to take care of my soldiers."[12] The charges were ultimately referred to an Article 15 proceeding rather than court-martial, at which West was fined $5,000.[11] LTC West accepted the judgment and retired with full benefits in the summer of 2004. Asked if he would act differently under similar circumstances again, West testified, "If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can."[13] After Lieutenant Colonel West was relieved of his command, an interpreter employed by a private contractor said that without his presence the region he previously oversaw "became more dangerous and chaotic".[11]


Typical lying liberal ditto.

Typical lying liberal ditto.

Give me ONE Lt. Col. Allen West for 100 "compassionate", fey, Obama types ANY day.

Ditzy tries to back pedal. 

 

A few facts - West reported the incident to his commanding officer after he received the information and acted on it.  It was his commander, Major General Odierno, that brought charges against him, upon the recommendation of the JAG lawyers.  Secretaries of Defense, as civilians, may not bring charges against military according to the UCMJ (the exception is the President, who may).  Rumsfeld did have the power to end the prosecution.

 

Ditz has no idea what he was talking about (happens often). Shooting lawyers on the battlefield should be an Article 15 offense (misdemeanor). 

His behavior as governor of Texas is indicative of a person who modified his ideas on governance.  If I believed Jon Huntsman would really do what he states on taxes, I'd consider him.  However, I hear nothing on cutting spending.

 

Coming from a member of the left who attack Obama for a slight pitch towards the middle, that's rich.  He's doing the minimum to keep independents on his side. And, win another term in office.

You misunderestimate me.

I am not a Dem, have never even voted for a Dem.

I am a strict anti-Repub, because, as long as you are willing to elect any of the current crop of Repubs, there will be no change in DC.  Ron Paul is the closest thing to an acceptable candidate, but as an outsider of the GOP, he has zero chance of being elected.  The Repubs are more concerned with winning the election than fixing the problems with the country, problems they helped create.

I once read a reply from a lawyer in Florence that said he would vote for  a monkey typing with the hope of reproducing the works of Shakespeare as long as he had a "D" after his name. Your position is equally stupid. Bravo.

You voted for BushIIe. 

And you probably voted for McCain. 

At least I voted for Barr, but it matters not in AlObama.

While your accuracy is less than exact (to say the least), your position remains stupid. Bravo on the double down.

You're a hillbilly from AlObama Mark, we know who you voted for.  You have to deal with the consequences on your own.

A hillbilly? Really. What leads you to this conclusion? Is it maybe that you are so self deluded as to think you are demonstrably more intelligent than anyone who disagrees with you? Or is it just me that you feel smugly superior to? In either case, nice dream for you, cherish it.

 

You know who I voted for? Hmm... unless you, or some that knows you, has been looking over my shoulder at the voting booth, that is incorrect. So you are incorrect. Again. Unless you want to extrapolate the whole situation out to  an extreme degree, in which case you lie.

 

The consequences I am dealing with are not of my own actions, rather they are the consequences of anyone who voted for The One™. Thanks a heap y'all.

 

Oh yeah, your position is still stupid. Kudos on the double, double down.
