CNN Anchor Has Testy Exchange With Allen West Over Communist Remarks: ‘Name Names’
The Blaze ^ | 04/19/2012 | J.M. Seidl

Posted on 04/19/2012 12:00:06 PM PDT by izzatzo

Allen West’s comments that there are nearly 80 Communists in the House just won’t go away. And CNN is making sure of that.

CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien, for example, had a testy exchange with West on Thursday morning, confronting him on the remarks and demanding he “name names.”

From the beginning, O’Brien was combative, vehemently disagreeing with Allen West regarding Ted Nugent’s controversial recent comments. Then they turned to West’s own remarks. After playing the clip, O’Brien asked him about it, and West said that Communists have “renamed themselves progressive” but the ideology has stayed the same. Mediaite picks it up from there with a transcript:

Allen West continues to prove himself a worth politician and LtCol, USArmy(Retired). The truth hurts these progressive/liberals/commies so much.

“worth” should be “worthy.”

Fearless. I love that in a leader. Unlike the coward in chief afraid of a FoxNews interview...

WEST: "Okay. Soledad O'Brien."

Liberals love to confront those who they ideologically disagree with. But, when there is a liberal who utters nonsense . . . . crickets.

Will they put West on the ticket and put the FIRE back into this election? Nahhh, that would be asking too much of the GOP, they’ll need a set of b@lls to accomplish that.

Communists have “renamed themselves progressive”

“social justice”= `My entitlements are mine, but your income is negotiable.’ [See: Moochie Obama and `pie’]

Next time Col West is asked that question, he should pull out the list of congressional members who belong to International Socialist Club in DC. There used to be a list of members floating around FR, about 2/3 years ago. I’ve lost my list, computer crashed. He should remind these presstitutes that socialism is communisian lite.

I got your names right here, Soledad, as of 2004 anyway. A very high number of well-known names are still in the House, and are still doing the things that Socialists do:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2873809/posts?page=38#38

“Surprise! Nancy Pelosi is really, and officially, a self-confessed Socialist!”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1140124/posts

And here is the list via “the internet wayback machine”. (From that page: “At one time, the following list of members could be located on the DSA web site. However, Once this list was made public, The DSA removed the link to the Web page that listed the following members.”)

There. I named a name. I also provided a link from his Congressional website to his page listing his membership in the Progressive Caucus where he is the Chairman on Immigration. He's my congresscritter btw. I am not a fan.

I’m an Allen West fan, but the CNN anchor is correct. If West wants to say their are 80 commies in the house, he needs to name them.
