The Aristocrat
I'm not convinced at this point that nutcase Congressman Allen West (R-FL, of course) isn't just
a product of some elaborate performance art:
Republican Rep. Allen West kicked off his Treasure Coast campaign for congressional District 18 on Sunday with a rally, during which he criticized President Obama on a variety of issues, using phrases and language guaranteed to get attention.
“He does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning and having that title of American. He’d rather you be his slave,” said West.
Obama wants you to be his slave. Oh, there's a good one. I can really see why the tea party decided to make this guy one of the faces of their movement.
West's plan here may be to say dimwitted, offensive and/or outrageously stupid things so frequently that we all simply can't stand talking about him anymore. I can see how that might work.
