No it didn't, if you want to suggest it did then who's really stretching it.

Nowhere was her attack personal and I already explained that in plain English.

That link was plainly a failure if you were using that to make your point.

It has nothing to do with party politics and everything to do with him attacking her as a person, a woman and not a politician.

You have already lost this one!!!..now I'm done.

She didn't go public with it. He CC'd the email to Congressional leaders as well as to Politico.com. He obviously wanted to draw attention to his words and to himself.

It's amusing to see West's defenders twist themselves in knots to rationalize or justify his language and behavior.

So these people will look for any excuse to turn the tables. Insult one of their token black members (who are usually nuttier than your avg. Tea Partier) and they get their "Racist!" freak on.
I'm sure this is waaaaaaay above your comprehension ability but do you realize how ironic it is for you to rail on Tea Party members for being racist and very insensitive then in the same breath you call Allen West a "token black member"?

Seriously, are you guys for real?

Yea, because there are so many minorities flocking to the Tea Party.

I can think of 4 right off the top of my head in the public arena:
1) Hillary Rodham Clinton
2) Theresa Heinz Kerry
3) Sheila Jackson Lee
4) Debbie Wasserman Shultz
Worthless. All of them. And there are MANY more just like them.
Ms. Kerry hurt your feelings in some way? Did she speak out at some point and say something you didn't like? Women who retain their maiden names uppity and not submissive enough?
This is the typical response toward women who don't "know their place", in the bedroom, kitchen, or speaking out against Republicans. Bet you like (or at least tolerate) Republican women and the Fox bimbos, right?

So because you disagree with them and don't like their names...they therefore do not deserve to be treated with basic civil respect?

You are a good demonstration of the very problem we're talking about here.
