He told a crowd of tea partiers his mom was a life time member of the NAACP,the tea partys most hated enemy. He will go down in flames just like all those judas blacks in the tea party.

Not sure why you think anyone is going to care that West mother was a member of the naacp.

Go West this tea party member will be casting my vote for Allen West

Default Republicans and Race

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Race is not a factor among Republican primaries/general elections. It's a non-issue. The Tea Party doesn't care whether their candidate is black, white, of hispanic descent or Asian descent. I'm not saying Democrats are all racist or anything, but race is a factor among Democratic candidates. You heard it all the time in 2008. "I'm going to vote for Obama because I want to have a black president." No one cares that Allen (not Allan by the way) West is black. He's an American that holds political views in line with the Tea Party. On the other hand, calling an American who happens to be black "Judas" because he disagrees with you politically, certainly sounds racist. Why should all blacks vote Democrat? If they look at the issues and find they allign more with the Democratic Party, then they should vote Democrat. But if they find themselves more in line with the Republican Party, how is that a bad thing?

Look at all those white racists clapping for a black man. They obviously know Allen West is a white man in blackface

What is interesting is that I really don't care if he is a republican, but to align yourself up with an organization that has a reported number of racist makes him in many blacks eyes as a judas (and that is being polite)

Its not about the republican party its about the tea party. Formed to destroy President Obama and the idea of him at all cost.
