Rep. Allen West: Obama a 'Low-Level, Socialist Agitator'

FOX Nation ^ | April 21, 2011 | Greta Van Susteren

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Did you hear what Congressman Allen West said? Well, hold onto your seat. He compared President Obama to a dictator. The congressman made those remarks during a recent appearance on "The Laura Ingraham Show." And to be specific, Congressman West said President Obama showed, quote, "third world dictator-like arrogance" during his budget speech. So what did he mean? Let's ask him.

Congressman Allen West of Florida joins us. Good evening, Congressman. Those are pretty tough words for the president. I know you have a lot of passion about your views, but the words -- any -- you want a do-over on that, or you stand by those words?

REP. ALLEN WEST, R-FLA.: Good evening. Happy Easter, Greta. And I do stand by those words. And perhaps one of the things that many people need to understand is that the truth needs to be said. When I go around and I talk to people down here in my district and we get phone calls, that speech that was given last week Wednesday was absolutely beneath the statesmanship or the atmosphere or the aura of the personality that the president should show.

I am sick and tired of this class warfare, this Marxist, demagogic rhetoric that is coming from the President of the United States of America. It is not helpful for this country and it's not going to move the ball forward as far as rectifying the economic situation in our country. And I'm not going to back away from telling what the truth is.

Ok. That’s good enough to show he wouldn’t attack birthers and he has a question himself. Thanks for the info.

LOL! You still don’t get it.

Ok now - he’s an Israeli supporter and proud to show it!! That carries weight and shows his priorities are straight!

“.....has the courage to confront our enemies and defeat them.”

Allen West reminds me of Harry S. Truman. No beating around the bush, no “parsing” and no bull.

This man is a comer!

[truthkeeper]

WOW...great pic.

There are far to many young, old, and inbetween who don’t give a damn about keeping/building a Nation/society as our Founding Fathers envisioned and gave to us. These are what I call todays citizens for 21st century expediency.

[chris37]

Yeah, I do, you’re just kind of annoying, so have a nice life.

[NoRedTape]

Allen West is a natural born leader. I have full respect for him.
Palin/West or West/Palin in 2012. The only individuals to get our Nation back on track; The ONLY ones who could do it.

I loved West's comment about stopping the "election cycle American Idol".......So true.

"Don't try to blow sunshine up my butt," he told the questioner, Nezar Hamze, Executive Director of the Council for American Islamic Relations,Allen West...You got to admire someone that bold and honest.

You may have said it to me in the past...I can't keep up either! LOL It is a great message and I'm confident it will be used in some form during the campaign. << That's what confidence looks like. LOL!

Has allen West given any serious thought of running?

There is a member on one of those sites I posted in #153 that says he has it from a VERY reliable source that Allen is indeed going to run. We are praying and waiting over there.

Spent all this time looking for it. The post is by Peter Paton under blogs on March 27th at this site.

Yeah, I do, you’re just kind of annoying, so have a nice life.

No you don't and I'm annoying to you because I pointed that out! I'm sure barry is annoyed at West, also, for pointing out a few things. Of course my life is nice, I live it as a conservative.

What you don’t understand is that I chose not to answer your original question due to the snide andd condescending way you framed it.

If you want to have a conversation with someone, best not to start it off by being a douchebag.

Anyway, goodbye.

I do understand - and you answered it unknowingly. In spite of what you call snide - you still had a lot to say along w/assumptions - LOL!! Too funny.

Liberal tactic - name calling. Thanks for showing the garbage that is within you.

Anyway, goodbye.

I never said hello - I only asked a question that you refused to answer but with all your 'chatting away' you answered it. Thanks for playing. I was right all along.

One thing to consider is that the intelligence agencies have worked the Birthplace/citizenship issue and know the truth, whatever it is, and members of Congress have been briefed...
