ALLEN WEST RACE STILL A 'DEAD HEAT'
West Hurt by Vicious, Racist Super PAC Ads That
'Play on Stereotypes'
'Play on Stereotypes'
Debate season is on full throttle – and so are the attack ads. Allen West and Patrick Murphy just squared off Friday in the only formal debate of their campaign. It was a contentious hour between the two candidates, battling an exceptionally hard fought U.S. House race, in a key swing state.
Friday's debate hit a range of policy issues, including Medicare, deficit reduction, tax cuts, job creation, abortion and gay marriage. But the hottest topic was the weeks and weeks of savage personal attack ads by Murphy against West, and Allen West's response!
According to press reports, West's campaign recently aired a brutal ad featuring Murphy's mugshot from a 2003 college-age arrest for disorderly intoxication, in response to Super PAC and Murphy campaign attack ads that have run against West for months.
Murphy's campaign hit back against the drunk and disorderly ad with a new attack ad defaming West's actions in the military that ultimately led to him being relieved of his command. West was fined for assault against an Iraqi during an interrogation for firing a pistol near the suspected assassin's head.
"Allen West misrepresented the teenage mistake of Patrick Murphy in his latest desperate attack ad," Moffet said in a statement. "In his ad, West also omitted key facts regarding his own record, and opened the door to a discussion of the circumstances leading to him being relieved of his command. This ad clarifies the events that took place in 2003."
West campaign spokesman Tim Edson responded by calling Murphy a "terrible person" for attacking West for acting to protect his troops. West was honorably retired from the Army as a Lt. Colonel with full benefits.
"What kind of man who has never worn the uniform attacks an honorably discharged combat veteran for acting to protect the lives of his soldiers?" Edson said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "A desperate man and apparently the same kind of man who calls a decorated combat veteran a coward, gets into drunken bar fights, verbally assaults police officers and then uses his family's connections to get out of trouble. Patrick Murphy is a spoiled brat and a truly terrible person."
All the ads notwithstanding, according to all the latest polling, the Florida race remains fiercely competitive.
In fact, the DCCC has big ad buy reservations for the district in these final two weeks before Election Day. "Patrick Murphy is ahead in the polls, and we've committed the resources to ensure he can win," said Jesse Ferguson, a DCCC spokesman. So this latest belligerent assault on Allen West's character may be desperation, or it may well be a sign of confidence by the Murphy campaign that their attacks on West are hurting him.
Either way, we MUST redouble our efforts in support of West!
Congressman Allen West's opponent is a true adherent of the Saul Alinsky school of defamation and distortion in framing his attack ads against his opponent. First, it was the pro-Murphy ad featuring West punching women with boxing gloves – an ad so contemptible it provoked several days of media discussion about racism in politics.
Now it is a no-less contemptible ad seeking to distract the voters from his own drunken and dissipated excesses by mischaracterizing a combat warrior's hard choices made on the battlefield of war!
And while civility is clearly not Murphy's strong suit, that also hasn't stopped him from running a nasty and dishonest ad attacking Congressman West for a lack of civility, with a none-too-subtle ridicule of West for being childish – literally. The ad, entitled "Time Out," is narrated by scolding children and deliberately, falsely conflates various disputes West has had with DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and others in the Democrat Party, into a single stream: "the most vile, despicable member of the Communist Party." The ad splices Allen West "quotes" across different children, in an extreme composite statement, and attributes it falsely to West. As noted in The Blaze:
"If you think this thinly veiled accusation of cooties is upsetting Congressman West, though, you'd be dead wrong. West has already hit back, hard, against the ad, appearing on Fox News' 'Fox and Friends' and blasting the ad as an instance of his opponent 'exploiting children.'
'This, again, is the level of gutter type of politics you see emanating from these people. They can't address the issues to the American populace and talk about viable solutions to make sure that we can turn this country around and get it heading in the right direction,' West said. 'Why would we want to bring our children into this conversation? I'm an adult, I'm a grown man.'"
It looks like Patrick Murphy is the one who needs to grown up. The Murphy camp has aired the worst attack ads in this election cycle non-stop since August! They have depicted Congressman Allen West gleefully beating an elderly white woman, stealing money from a black family, "whacking" another young white lady – while flashing a gang-banger's emblematic gold front tooth!
This odious, racist ad was financed by The American Sunrise PAC, which was established by the father of West's opponent, Democrat Patrick Murphy. The elder Murphy reportedly contributed $250,000 to this PAC.
Despite NATIONAL outcry, the Democrats will NOT repudiate or pull these ads!
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO ENSURE ALLEN WEST CAN AFFORD TO KEEP HITTING PATRICK MURPHY AND THE OBAMA LEFT BACK – HARD!
John Nolte of Breitbart News contacted Allen West's office for comment on the outlandish ad and received the following statement from Congressman West:
"I spent my life in uniform fighting for our great nation and protecting all Americans. The ad being run against me by my opponent's family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible. It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors.The American people are suffering from crushing debt, horrific tax and regulatory policies, and epic unemployment. This classless ad shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation. This ad reflects the sad state of politics in our Republic with those who seek to destroy a person's character to cover for their lack of intellectual ability and integrity."
The leftwing media deploys accusations of racism to distract from the story and deflect criticism from Obama over issues like skyrocketing unemployment, burgeoning food stamps, dismantling of work-fare, epidemic crony capitalism and insider deal making. The establishment media is NOT going to report on a black conservative Congressman being viciously defamed as a woman-beating thief. So, WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE VOTERS LEARN THE TRUTH OF THESE MEDIA LIES!
As Rep. West noted in an interview on Fox News, there is a total double standard in the mainstream press, never reporting the facts about the Democrats, letting the left say and do anything – while vilifying and caricaturing conservatives in the most revolting and false portrayals imaginable, particularly black conservatives.
This ad seems to be part and parcel of the Obama Team strategy; Pelosi traveled to Florida to talk trash about Allen West, as the odious George Soros pledged $5 Million for a West 'Take Down'!
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) challenges Barack Hussein Obama, AND the Marxist Congressional Black Caucus, AND George Soros – but NOW he has to put up with Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz stalking him for the Democrats.
Pelosi harped endlessly and falsely on entitlements and universal health care, insisting Medicare isn't "a political issue. This is a value. This is an ethic. A priority for America that our seniors will have economic and health security through Social Security and through Medicare."
When Allen West rebutted Pelosi's lies, argued the need to address a growing culture of dependency in America, and said – rightly – that Obama is a proponent of the "slavery" of over-entitlement and huge government, the mainstream media went nuts and even GOP so-called "leadership" went, as Maggie Thatcher used to say, "wobbly."
Allen West said in response to the uproar:
"I really feel that it is demeaning to me to think that I need some individual to justify me and my existence. Look, I went through 22 years being in the military, I rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel, I have a bachelor's and 2 master's degrees. And for these white liberals to believe they can have this condescending manner toward black conservatives that we need to have approval from our quote unquote, I guess 'masters,' for us to be able to speak – see that's where the true racism really lies. I know I'm their #1 target and it just emboldens me to speak out even stronger.…
And the heck with them if they think someone else needs to approve of me and what I stand for."
The truth is, Pelosi and the Democrats CANNOT STAND West, and the bold, brash, fearless way he openly challenges their lies and duplicity. Reports and "confidential memoranda" have been swirling that anotherbrand new, super special Super PAC called DUMP WEST has been formed specifically to defeat Allen West – and that George Soros has committed $5 million to drive West out of Congress!
We MUST help build grassroots patriot support AND a national supply line for Representative Allen West FOR THESE LAST CRUCIAL DAYS OF THE CAMPAIGN. It is time for Tea Partiers, patriots and Frederick Douglass Republican allies to UNITE and man the barricades!
WE MUST HIT BACK THE ATTACKS WITH OUR OWN PRO-ALLEN WEST INTERNET CAMPAIGN,OPERATION WEST WIND.
WE MUST ENSURE that exposure of the Soros backed anti-West Super PAC is blasted far and wide – and inspires a surge of pro-West support from patriots everywhere!
Meantime, CREDO Super PAC continues on its merry way with its broader project against our Tea Party stalwarts elected to Congress in 2010, "Take Down the Tea Party Ten"! CREDO is a radical group bankrolled by progressive billionaire George Soros that likes using the words "odious" and "extremist" to describe people with whom it disagrees.
These words actually describe CREDO. It has pushed a massive campaign raising unlimited sums of money to try to "take down" Rep. Allen West and other conservatives.
Here is a sample of CREDO's Alinsky-style propaganda flooding the Internet:

Operation Black Storm needs your help TO FIGHT THESE LIES:
- To make sure that shady political spending by radical leftists like George Soros doesn't drown out the truth about the Tea Party record and defeat its champions like Allen West.
- To fight back against this attempt by Marxists to achieve a deceitful, radical takeover of our Congress and our republic.
You can see in the Alinsky-style yellow box above how they will defame, lie and character-assassinate to try to defeat those who defend America! The need has NEVER been so urgent for YOU TO SUPPORT ALLEN WEST and OPERATION BLACK STORM!
Our STORM needs to become a WEST WIND! Let's blow these lying leftists off the map with gales of righteousness and thunderclaps of truth SUPPORTING CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST!
Allen West warns that under Obama statism – unless the People take our nation back from the Marxists – we are losing America!
Rep. West has argued correctly the Constitutional position – that our national plight arises from those in Washington abandoning founding principle; it is the result of FAILURE of leadership.
Our Frederick Douglass Republican takes Obama and his faction head-on, fearlessly repudiating the left's baseless yet very destructive cries of "racism" against all who resist their communistic transformation of our legacy of liberty and freedom.
The endgame of Obama's strategy is the Marxist "transformation" of our democratic Republic. But Obama and the corrupt Democrat Party cannot tell the truth about what they are REALLY doing. So they just call all who oppose them on their policies and principles "racists" and denounce black conservatives as "Uncle Toms" in relentless attacks!
Yet the Obama agenda is UNAMERICAN and UNACCEPTABLE to the vast majority of Americans! Obama does not love America. He does not have America's best interests at heart. He is a delusional narcissist with contempt for the Constitution and no regard for the rule of law. Obama is indifferent to the dangers to which he exposes America in his ruthless, grasping quest for office, and the destruction he wreaks to our ordered liberty and institutions of self-government.
Obama, the Campaigner-in-Chief, is willing to divide America on matters of race, creed and color like our nation has not seen since the rending wounds of the Civil War. Obama will NOT rest until the United States of America becomes the Socialist States of America and his radical agenda is in place with every Citizen dependent on Big Brother because there will be NO jobs, NO national harmony, NO unity.
We don't always agree with every vote in Congress by Allen West, but we MUST send Representative West back to Capitol Hill. Since his election in 2010, Operation Black Storm Congressman Allen West has rocked Washington DC, by bringing the principles of Frederick Douglass Republicans and the message of black conservatism back to our nation's Capital. Representative West has often been the only member of Congress unafraid of the racism charges favored by the Tyrant in Chief, unabashedly calling out Obama and the Black Congressional Caucus for their disastrous policies and obvious race baiting.
BUT ALLEN WEST NEEDS YOUR HELP FOR VICTORY!
Representative West cannot "hold the line" alone. He needs YOU to stand with him to defeat the race baiting, plantation politics of the left. Allen West and Operation Black Storm are fighting every day as solid moral and fiscal conservatives to restore the Republican Party to its true constitutional roots. Let's break the bonds of dependency, big government, and racism – once and for all! Let's build up Operation Black Storm!
As we head into the stormy crescendo of perhaps one of the most important – but racially and economically most polarized election cycles of our lifetime –we need to stir up our own "WEST WIND" of victory, and continue our success in carrying the message of freedom. We need to UNITE, STEP UP and FACE DOWN the haters on the left, with all their deep-pocketed money bags like George Soros!
Help us send Congress dedicated, liberty loving, social and fiscal minority conservatives who can free America from the bondage of leftist class warfare and shameful RINO "me too" Republicanism. We are proud to endorse Rep. Allen West, candidate for Florida's 18th Congressional District – and we implore YOUR support for this patriot and our OBS efforts NOW!
OBS, Operation Black Storm is dedicated to replacing the plantation politics of the left with liberty, by electing more Frederick Douglass Republican, Constitutionalist conservatives like Rep. Allen West, candidate for Florida's 18th Congressional District. HELP ALLEN WEST BE ABLE TO HIT THE OBAMA LEFTISTS BACK HARD! Please join us!
God bless America,
Lynne Roberts, Executive Director
