Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) is the activist Left’s number one congressional target this election cycle because he poses an existential threat to progressivism, a prominent professional left-wing organizer suggests.
West is “a national rising star in the Tea Party,” Becky Bond explained during a panel discussion at the Campaign for America’s Future’s recent Take Back the American Dream confab in Washington, D.C.
The famously outspoken retired Army lieutenant colonel with the special talent for getting under Democrats’ skin “is going to start to define” what the Republican Party stands for, said Bond, president of the well-funded Credo SuperPAC.
....
The danger, as Bond sees it, is that if West’s brand of politics catches on nationwide, American politics may shift rightward.
“And he’s a freshman,” Bond said. “If we don’t take him down now, he’s raising millions of dollars, and he’s going to set what the new normal is for the Republican Party.”

“I can’t argue with your points; well made.”
Thanks - I saw it plain and simple when I used to sneak into “teach-ins” at college. Anyone who doubts their objectives might just want to monitor one of those ‘events’.
And you’re right - their public face is much, much, friendlier. The radicals have grown up and figured out that they cannot shock the country into submission - they must slowly and carefully turn up the heat.
She’s essentially admitting that progressivism supports islamism, which is suicidal to progressivism.
These people are truly mentally ill.
Yup! This guy is the real deal.
I would volunteer for his campaign, whatever the Leftists throw at West.
That needed repeating. West is a Soldier's soldier and a hell of a man. He believes in God, Country, Honor and the Constitution as it was written. I will carry the second can of gas for you if West leads the way.
He is even badder.

Liberalism always has been a house of cards, and the foundation is beginning to shake.
For some time we’ve had blacks who see the light, from Thomas Sowell to Larry Elder. It’s just that Col. West comes along at a time when liberalism’s policies have actually been put into practice, and what he says is now being listened to. By blacks.
The liberal media is now unable to persuade blacks that what they see is not what they see. Barack Obama was elected. By whites. This is a fact that race-baiters have trouble getting around.
I met Col. West at the Freeper convention in DC in 2009. He represents the Dem party’s worst nightmare, and they know it.
Racists.
OMG, we have Freeper Convention??!!??!!!!
Do you need a secret docoder ring, or special invite from FReeper Elders?
Is Allen West in trouble or is he strong in Nov?
We need a full House (and Senate and WH) full of Allen Wests.
Code speak for keep the blacks on the liberal DUmmie plantation.
Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.
Just in case others may be unfamiliar:
If Romney were smart he’d make West his VP.
This is the man Mitt should pick as a running mate.
No one other than Sarah even comes close.
But the media character assassination has destroyed almost any possibility of her being elected until after TEOTWAWKI.

Wife and I plan on going to a class next Saturday that gets us prepped to be Poll watchers.
I gots a feeling them dems are going to do anything they can to get the Colonel
” We ARE dealing with pure evil, it is just restrained and under cover to prevent a full reaction to its ugliness. I hear a lot of well-meaning but naive conservatives say that the Left wants what the Right wants in that they both want what is “good” for America and Americans, just the means to achieve what’s best differ. This is patently false.
The Left wants to destroy everything that has made America great. It want to completely rebuild this country into a Marxist utopia that they envision. This requires the annihilation of all things moral, healthy and good. “
You are both correct. The ultimate goal of the American left is to DESTROY our culture our beliefs, and our economy, and rebuild it into some IMPOSSIBLE hideous Marxist utopia.
