This may be the weakest hit piece the media has trumped up in this election cycle.
In this cheesy report, NBC’s Lisa Myers attempts to link Florida Republican Allen West to the Outlaws biker gang. And just for good measure, she also briefly mentions the old Iraq story – the one that makes West a hero to conservatives – with no context in an attempt to make it sound scandalous.
West is neck and neck with his Democrat opponent and there are just two weeks to go until election day. The media’s read the polls and they’re starting to break out in cold sweats, so it’s time for them to break out whatever sorry crap is left in their Armory of Untruths.
Voila! Allen West is supported by biker gangs.

u see? regardless of the color of his skin if he is not a liberal he gets no easy pass. It is always ideology first.
I am actually amazed that a biker club that I will assume is mostly white americans would actually embrace him in the first place... YET I am sure if West was out of the picture she would say that this same biker club hates Obama because he is black...
so in the eyes of a liberal if you are not liberal you can never win.
I also think this "interview" was seriously edited... ugh I am so done with the MSM.
Normally wouldn't be embraced? B.S. I'm former Army, a Conservative, and I'd embrace a 1000 men like West. He is exactly the kind of American we need running for office. They so want to inject race into this. It must terrify them that we judge West on the content of his character and find him to be just the man we need. He said that he would carry a gas can through hell to save his men. That sort of leader usually has men willing to follow him through hell too, and for good reason.
BINGO. He gets it, & it is men like him that allow me to be me. He has been a good soldier, & deserves our respect. West has also been a guest serveral times on The Wilkow Majority on Sirius/XM, & he is as sharp as ANYONE I have heard/seen come onto the political scene, period.
I live in FL, and wish I lived in FL-22 so I could vote for West!
What really ticks me off is that Chris Ingram, a supposed Republican, and political analyst, refused to endorse LtC West because of the incident in Iraq, refuses to endorse Marco Rubio for Senate because of ACCUSATIONS, not even charges filed against him, but endorses Rick Scott, the guy who was CEO of a company that defrauded Medicare of billions!
Florida politics is a wierd thing, people make no sense here, but it isn't bad enough to make me move back to NJ. OH! Wait a sec, Chris Christie is Governor in NJ, I just might move back!!
The RealClearPolitics polling numbers have West down by 5 to Ron Klein. West is a great American, & should be elected. The voters in Florida 22 better put West into Congress, America is counting on it.
OMGosh... He *Fired* a pistol next to an enemies head to try to save his *men?*
We need to hang 'em high! I mean we can't have a soldier trying to convince an enemy..
Then he has the audacity to accept help from people despite their past? Hm.
I dunno. We gotta make sure we don't get this kind of person in office.
Correction request, headline, last phrase:
"desparately, feebly attempts to link him to biker gang"
Thx.
Notice the implication that the Republican party is racist because he's a candidate "that normally wouldn't be embraced."
Oh because he's a retired Army officer?
Oh because he believes in limited government?
Oh because he's willing to talk to anyone, not just hand-picked audiences?
Nope, NBC implies because he's black, Republicans normally wouldn't associate with him.
and you Republicans can keep those mean Outlaws, the Military, and that stoopid Constitution ... we just want to worship Mother Earth.
The Media has to help the Dems keep the Brothers on the Plantation. Otherwise they lose their base.
His fatal flaw was not accepting endorsement from the Blank Panthers (like Obama did). This would surely have shut everyone up.
