Conservative Black Republican Congressional Candidate Thrown Out Of Cystic Fibrosis Fundraiser Because Big Donor Dems Object
FR Exclusive
You would think it couldn’t happen in America but it has. Retired Army Lt. Colonel Allen West is a conservative Black Republican. He was to be honored at an upcoming Cystic Fibrosis Fundraising Dinner in Florida, but the invitation was withdrawn because of pressure from liberal Dems who also support the Foundation.
Allen is running, (and running well) for the Congressional seat now held by far-left Democrat Ron Klein. The district, Florida 22, covers the east coast of Florida from Fort Lauderdale to north of Palm Beach. It is NOT a “Minority-Majority” Black district. Allen is a well-honored vet of the Gulf and a school teacher as well. His wife Angela has her doctorate. They are an incredible American success story.
The South Florida Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Society picked Allen and his wife to honor at their upcoming fundraising gala dinner. They were to be named one of “South Florida Finest Couples” at the Gala. In the process, Allen committed to raise $10,000 for the Foundation.
Everything was fine until two big time Dems who are supporters of the Foundation heard that Allen and Angela were to be honored. They threatened to cancel their support of the Foundation if Allen and Angela were allowed to attend and be honored. There is currently no proof that Dem Congressman Ron Klein approved the threats, but his fingerprints seem to be all over this. Many people think it is certainly a tactic that Klein and the Obama wing of the Democrat Party would certainly stoop so low as to use.
We do have the names of the rich Dem who made the threats, and an email trail, so this is far from finished.
The bottom line is that 12:10 today, Ms Chris Landshut, the well-paid Executive Director of the South Florida CF Chapter called Allen and “politely” asked of she could withdraw the Society’s invitation to Allen and Angela.
Because the Cystic Fibrosis Society was afraid of losing big donors, a Conservative Black American and his wife were NOT kicked to the back of the bus. They were kicked OFF the bus.
This may go very big. South Florida media is beginning to work the story and I would not be surprised if it quickly went national on Talk Radio.
I spend 30+ years in TV news. This is one of the lowest stunts I have seen yet.
More when I know it.
They do not have to worry about me donating to them.
I heard that the Democrat’s god and messiah did away with the charitable donation tax write off.
If you are a Socialists or communist,a/k/a Democrat, yes.
And where is the GOP to defend this man and make a stink about this injustice?
MIA, AWOL—cowards and sell-outs!
And you fools are going to to RUN to the polls to vote for these same people.
...watching Rome burn.
page Andrew Breitbart....
No. Racists.
The most racist thing in America today is a white liberal faced with a conservative Republican who is black.
You'll notice that in the past, the South Florida CF group honored politicians of both parties, who like the Wsts, had raised money for the charity. ....but never a black Republican....that calls for kicking them down the back stairs.

This is obscene. Throwing someone out of a charity event due to political affiliation? That’s liberal compassion for you!

If America had actual journalists instead of JournoListes, there could be some very interesting questions asked.
Another sign of ‘Rats running scared. And what scares them more than anything else is a conservative Republican black candidate with a legitimate shot at unseating one of their buddies. Maybe we can call them racists?
This is a crying shame. For this honorable man AND HIS WIFE, for Pete’s sake, to be treated like this is unconscionable. I hope Kline’s behavior comes back and bites him in the —— tush.
Publish their names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers.
ZcCast upon them the light of day, and do not allow their neferious labors to flourish in the obscurity to which tese fascists are accustomed.
Then ridicule them publicly.
Thats how to fight fascism.
West is a good man. The best.
Relax, try the decaf. This is still breaking. Give us time to work a few angles and sources. This is going atomic.
Email this information to Rush et al. Get it on the radio. Exposure and the Tea Party is what these vermin fear.
wow.
They are scared to death West will win. They are doing everything they can to marginalize him.
Yup.
Ping...Can you help MB find any information on subject?
Have you contacted the national organization and given them a chance to right the situation...”Before it goes viral”
;~)
I pinged Andrea Shea King with this. She’s from South Florida.
We’ll get this on the airwaves one way or another.
