‘False & Racist’: Allen West’s Wife & Daughter Defend Him in New Ad, Press Release
It’s not uncommon for political candidates to bring their spouses and children into the fold, particularly when their presence is viewed as a potential boost to a candidacy. Take, for instance, Rep. Allen West’s (R-FL) wife, Angela, who is featured defending her husband in a new campaign advertisement. And his daughter, Angela, who stood up for her family in a recent press release.
“I do my best to ignore political mudslinging, but recent attacks on my husband go too far,” Angela West says in the opening of the ad. “They have been called false and racist — and that’s not a word I use lightly.”
After speaking out against purported attacks on her husband, she touted his character.
“Here’s the truth about Allen. He’s an amazing dad and a hero to our daughters,” she continued. “He’s dedicated his life to serving our country. And Allen is driven by one thing — protecting the American dream for everybody.”
Watch the ad, below:
West’s daughter, too, has entered the campaign to defend her parents against political attacks. The Huffington Post has more:
In a press release issued by West’s campaign, West’s teenaged daughter Aubrey also responds to her father’s critics.
“The recent attacks on my parents’ character are downright wrong and false. This election should be focused on policies, not personal attacks on a family that sacrificed so much for their country. My father has been serving the people of the United States for 22 years. During that time I have had to watch my father leave to go fight wars to protect this country and the people who are spreading false and hurtful things about my parents,” Aubrey says in a statement.
These responses from West’s family members come after his campaign created a brutal ad attacking his Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy, highlighting a drunken arrest that unfolded years ago.

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 5:11pmThese people like obama & his hynch-men can lie, cheat & steal from all of us all the time and we’re supposed to step back and take it…….no no no! Let an honest, God-fearing, man or woman go to D.C. and they are smeared if they try to do what’s right, and proof of this is the slimy kind, like Pelosi, Harry Reid and a host of others who’ve lost their SOULS for their lust of power.
These people do nothing for Americans, nor do they work for us. They work for themselves for the
power they achieve illegally. As much as I dislike these people, I know God will give them their just rewards, and it’s not for us to expect any gratification, as that’s not in His will.
That doesn’t mean we have to lie back and let these Sons of Satan run over us God gave us the will to fight back in a different, more responsible way……THE TRUTH and action. Eventually, those with moral values will see the truth and come to our side and help us get rid of the liars & cheaters in D.C.
who take away our Freedom along with all the other things they try to steal & take from us.
GOD help us and Bless the USA. Please God, be on the side of righteousness to regain America.

Posted on October 9, 2012 at 11:54pmObama is at a complete loss when debating without Axelrod’s help and a teleprompter. I like the fact that Romney doesn’t call Obama out on things West would bring up. It seems his kindness will go a long way towards winning votes.

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 11:52amThe fact remains that when the Left has nothing but demonization and character assassination left in their arsenal, they’ll climb up to the rim of the bottom of the barrel to use it.
To the contrary, we don’t need to demonize nor assassinate the character of our opponents; they do fine all on their own. Emphasizing the facts is nothing more than pointing out what we KNOW to be TRUTH, and it’s so much fun when you’ve got the facts!
They’re so demonic, they’ll smear crap on their undies, and then defy you to prove it’s crap, let alone that they did it. Now, ain’t THAT the truth!?!?!?!!

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 11:51amRacism
Sexism
Homophobia
and a host of other cause celebs are textbook and predictable of the left in attempting to manage public dissent or opinion by the technique of Cognitive Dissonance or guilt programming.
By this type of political guilt manipulation the left seeks with predictability to control all debate and opposition.
After awhile you can see the main stream media actively participating in this as they shill for their respective political parties and candidates. This is why the confidence in the media is at an all time low. The public may not be aware of this method or technique by these names but they know or sense that something is wrong and very missing from media content.
Many are now looking for alternative media sources and going there.
Now that Allen West has clearly shown that he is his own man and a leader …he is personal non grata in certain circles and the media and Left are conducting themselves with predictable attacks on his character. It is the very best they can do.
Prepare yourself for more of this type of character assassination and remember it is peak performance from the left. What is is not is leadership.

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 12:31pmWhen you see and sense enough of this kind of labeling and name calling to which Allen West and others have been subjected you begin to branch out and see that other cause celebs are using or misusing the same technique to control the marketplace of ideas…and emotions.
The womens movements use and misuse this technique…the War on Women.
The Homosexuals use and misuse this technique..but it backfired on them with Chick Fil A. Americans had enough of this poor nonsense and finally spoke out and I am proud of them for this..about time.
A plethora of groups who need and manufacture racist enemies are also using this method.
So too with the Islamic groups now and also the Illegal Aliens. TAke notice of to which political party they are attaching themselves.
What you begin to notice, when you break away and think for yourself, leaving the emotions out of it, is that these groups all appear at some higher level..unseen and unknown by most..to be handled or controlled by the same hand. I say this because of the commonalility of the methods used or misused to default through by silencing any opposition through the use or mususe of guilt politics or cognative dissonance techniques.
Notice that all these groups depend on some level of runnaway emotions to get over on those they intend to control or silence!!?? Hence censorship or control.
Just something I notice or concluded about the nature of politics and leadership today. Tabloid like.

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 11:44amAfter the interrogation incident in Iraq, I knew Allen West is a leader. He suffered what he did for his men. And I believe he would do the same for his nation. To Serve. This is a man who is a leader and our nation badly needs leaders with leadership skills and knowledge..not hack politicians. We already have those aplenty.
Politics has been reduced by hack leaders and political parties..both Republicans and Democrats to tabloid politics..ie…drama techniques on an unawares people It has become more and more over the years to be as Jerry Springer…tabloid like. This is not leadership.
Suggest strongly that some of you begin to learn about a psychological technique called “Cognitive Dissonance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
I have been calling it Guilt Politics or Guilt Programming.
What it is ..is a type of censorship or silencing the opposition by making them feel guilty in the public eye..by labeling and name calling. It is textbook of the Left/Democratic party modus operandi. It is also Jerry Springer and even being promoted in public schools rather than truthful or honest debate.
By causing such controversy or flack …one is able to silence opposition …in getting any opposition to stop voicing their opinions or views rather than face the controversy…or staged outcry…ie..censorship
After you learn of this method you can see it coming over and over and over…in the MSM.

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 12:06pmHe was contrasting what the two “men” were doing in 2003. One was fighting in Iraq, leading troops while the other one was breaking multiple laws. That was only 9 years ago, if it was 20 I could be more likely to overlook it. The guy wasn’t just drunk, he was disorderly, resisted arrest, and threatened the police officer….character counts. He was “just 19″ doesn’t cut it.

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 12:12pmGodLovinMom –
The point of the ad was not to disparage a stupid drunken frat boy for being young and stupid. It was to show that while he was being drunk, young and stupid, Allen West was honorably leading a squad of young honorable men the same age as his drunken, young, stupid opponent defending our country.

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 12:20pmYes, I agree…I was “trying” to point out the fact…that they all get down and dirty when it comes to campaigning…believe me when I say I am a conservative christian woman and wholeheartedly agree with Mr. West…except maybe on the issue of the black caucus…racist in itself, don’t ya think…I can not believe how the issue of race has been in the forefront of our country since Obama took office, mostly by democrats…so in my opinion, if you a true patriotic American, like I believe Mr. West is…why is he in a group with the likes of Maxine Waters…because he’s black……he would really get people going if he would deny this openly racist caucus…can you imagine a white caucus…eek!

Allen West is the the rare human and even rarer black man that stands for America and it’s ideals. Allen West and his families plight shows directly that most black people are pathological racists and that the left is racist. The left is doomed, they just don’t know it yet.
