Allen West (Cong. Candidate FL 22) responds to Obama saying Republicans will use race to stoke fear
Email from Allen West | June 21, 2008 | Allen West

My advice to Senator Obama is to run as a Man and Leader, and the American people will evaluate you as such, not as a victim. This is a Presidential race, based solely on a capacity to lead the United States of America. It is not about skin tone...however, perhaps we should come to expect these immature statements.

It also seems rather humorous that the Presidential candidate who was supposed to be such a "uniter" and transcend race is the one talking about it the most. If Senator Obama was confident in his abilities and character, he would not need to create a crutch for failure. Senator Obama has just tipped his hand, any criticism of him and his policies will be directly attributed to racism. I congratulate Senator Obama for taking race relations in America back some 30 years.

This statement needs to be sent to the McCain campaign so he can reiterate it. It’s an awesome statement but won’t get the headlines it deserves unless it’s made by McCain or one of his top surrogates. Anyone have a direct link to McCain to get him this statement?

Thank you so much for posting this Ooh-Ah.

I am crazy about him too Fox. Started following him back when he was in Iraq when he stood up for the way he interrogated a “Detainee”. He has guts and character.

Exactly the kind of man we need - now more than ever.

Watch for the media to knee cap him.

If only they'd give us that. Watch for the media to totally ignore the responsible criticism of the chosen one.

What McCain needs is a black conservative VP nominee.

The VP slot is the only constitutional office which has an affirmative action incentive in its nominee selection system.

It's transparent that Obama is playing the race card for all it's worth, already. A black Republican VP nominee can blow the whistle on that, as West does here.

If BHO had a record on which he could run, he would not have to remind all of his race as if that is the only determinant for the highest office in the land.
