Here is the article from People For the American way website. He is one of two in the list from Florida. This video is from an appearance at an event which I gather is called At the Revolution.
Listen to his words. They are scary. Even worse is the loud cheering of the crowd as he urges them to fix bayonets.
Meet Allen West: Fanatical Opponent of Muslims, Immigrants, Progressives & ObamaDemocrat Ron Klein in a rematch of their 2008 race. West, an Army veteran, became a YouTube sensation by criticizing "this tyrannical government" and crying out: "if you're here to stand up to get your musket, to fix your bayonet, and to charge into the ranks, you are my brother and sister in this fight." He said that the country was engaging in "class warfare" between "a producing class and an entitlement class," which is composed of Obama supporters.
While serving in Iraq, he was forced out of the Army for his violent handling of an investigation of a police officer. During the interrogation, West dragged "him outside, pushed his head into the sand, and fired a gun next to his face to get him to sing." According to West: "It wasn't torture. Seeing Rosie O'Donnell naked would be torture."
West also has close ties to the Outlaws motorcycle gang, which an NBC News report found had criminal ties and a website that features a page honoring members who are in prison, extolling "members convicted of violent crimes, including murder." In a letter, West wrote: "Please, no more references to ‘criminal' because I can tell you, they have the utmost respect for me and that which I seek to achieve. I was never more amazed at how members of the Outlaws guarded me during a one hour cell phone radio interview."
West has addressed events sponsored by Outlaws-linked organizations, used Outlaws members to harass his rival's campaign workers, and writes a column for the group's magazine. The magazine, "Wheels on the Road," has published anti-Semitic, racist and sexist material, and once called women "oral relief stations."
West encouraged his supporters to use violence in suppressing the votes of opponents, saying, "You've got to make the fellow scared to come out of his house."
He also said publicly that he was going to bring the ""vile, vicious, despicable" leftwing to its knees."
New FL congressman to bring "vile, vicious, despicable" leftwing to its knees.Letting his bandanna down, as it were, the biker mag columnist, ex-military mock executioner and musket musterer chosen to lead a District that includes toney Palm Beach, ripped the people he thinks brought Joyce down. From Naked Politics:
The incoming congressman just called into Joyce Kaufman’s radio show and told her while she’s taking on the left in South Florida, he’II “fight them on the battle field in Washington DC.
“I’m even more commited, even more focused on making sure that this liberal, progressive, socialist agenda, this leftwing vile, vicious, despicable machine that is out there is soundly brought to its knees,” he said.
We are just so lucky here in Florida. We not only got Allen West, but we got Rick Scott for governor, Marco Rubio for senator, and Adam Putnam for Commissioner of Agriculture.
And those are just the ones I have known about. The PFAW list made me aware of this lady who defeated a Democrat this year.
Meet Congresswoman-Elect Sandy Adams: Conspiracy-Theorist, Religious Extremist
After serving four terms in the Florida State House, Sandy Adams ran for U.S. Congress and handily defeated freshman congresswoman Suzanne Kosmas. She built up a far-right voting record as a state representative, and she campaigned as the most conservative candidate in the competitive Republican primary.
As a legislator and candidate Sandy Adams has embraced the agenda of the Religious Right. Adams voted to enact burdensome waiting periods and tougher parental notice laws for young women seeking abortions, and voted in favor of forcing women to have ultrasound tests before terminating a pregnancy, which the governor ultimately vetoed because it placed "an inappropriate burden on women seeking to terminate a pregnancy." During the GOP primary she was endorsed by militantly anti-choice groups including the Republican National Coalition for Life and the American Conservative Union. Moreover, she is on record opposing stem-cell research and boasts that she "fought against this type of research funding in the Florida House of Representatives."
She is also an avowed opponent of teaching evolution, and voted in favor of a bill that calls on teachers to "teach theories that contradict the theory of evolution." Adams herself does not believe evolution and says that Christians should reject evolution in favor of "the biblical terms of how we came about." When asked "by a caller in a telephone town hall meeting whether she believed in evolution…Adams replied, ‘I'm Christian. What else do you want to know?'" Adams also supports Florida's unsuccessful private school vouchers program and wants the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public schools.
