Rep. West’s Response To CAIR Letter: “NUTS!”
August 15, 2011 10:28 PM

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBS4) – A South Florida Muslim group sent Congressman Allen West a letter asking him to disassociate himself from activists the group considers anti-Islamic.

Congressman West did respond and the letter he sent back is raising some eyebrows.

If it looks like the shortest letter you’ve ever seen from a member of congress, it probably is. How short? Try one word, in capital letters: “NUTS!”

“I was shocked at first. I didn’t expect this from a congressman,” said Nezar Hamze, the executive director of CAIR Florida — the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“We stand up for the civil rights of the Muslim community. That’s what we do,” said Hamze.

Hamze says he wrote to the congressman earlier this month with his concerns about the congressman’s relationships with groups and people Hamze considers to be anti-Islamic.

“When I first saw that, I wasn’t sure if he was calling me nuts, or he was calling my concerns nuts,” said Hamze.

The man obviously has a poor grasp of American History. Hey, muslim creep, read about the Battle of the Bulge and you will have your answer as to what West means by "Nuts".

Hamze must not recognize WW2 history -

“NUTS” was one of the shortest responses ever made to a Nazi call for surrender (General Anthony McAuliffe, Battle of the Bulge)

Of course he didn’t expect a letter like that from a Congress critter. CAIR has become used to the kow-tow treatment no matter how absurd their grievances get. Maybe West will embolden others to just say NUTS to the dopey stuff they come up with daily.

Typical leftist muzzy. No knowledge of American war history and in a position to influence political activities.

Nuts indeed.

Love his answer!

West may just earn my respect back, but he’ll have to realize how Boehner used him in the budget debate fiasco.

Oh you bet the Muzzies were on the side of the Nazis. They both shared a hatred of the Jews. That was a match made in Hell if ever there was one.
