Editing Trick, or Did Allen West Admit to Glenn He’s Running for Prez?

Glenn Beck has been trying to recruit Allen West to run for president for the last month. And over the last few weeks, he’s salivated every time a sound bite featuring West surfaces. So Beck’s interview with West on radio today could probably be best described as a love fest. In fact, Beck even had some Barry White playing in the background. Really.
While the interview was lighthearted (see above reference to Barry White), Beck did cover some serious positions such as West’s view of the Fed. But that’s really not what many wanted to hear. What everyone was looking for is whether or not West is going to run for president in 2012. The answer? “Not now.”
But “not now” wasn’t an answer Beck was willing to take, and instead edited West‘s response to include the answer he’d been wishing for. Hear the hilarious exchange below (the edited reaction starts at about 14:00):

We do need more people like Allen West and I hope they do show their faces in 2012 so that we can get rid of the bad Republicans and certainly the Bad Democrats. I would take a Joe Manchin probably the best Democrat in the senate or an Allen West any day of the week over somebody like John McCain or Linsday Graham. I may not always agree with that type of person on issues but I want them to be honest that way we can have an honest debate and allow the people to be the bosses of the policitians not the other way around.

Do you not like the fact that he‘s a religious man and isn’t afraid to talk about it? His programs(tv and radio) inform people of what is going on that you would never hear on any crappy mainstream media network. If you don’t like him, then stop listening to him and tune in to Schultz and Mathews.

————————————————–
Agreed 100%!
Those that will campaign against West will most likely have progressive tendencies, so we don’t want them anyway. There may be a few Conservatives that won’t vote for him, but that will be a minority for varied reasons. And keep in mind, there are Republicans that just have to go with an establishment guy for some strange reason. Finally, we have those that I despise… the fakers. You know, those that come here pretending to be a Conservative or whatever, then they run-down our favs no matter who it is.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 4:39pmThe deification of West continues. This was my question for West, which of course Glenn couldn’t get to, along with a link to Rep. Rooney’s website, showing that West and, wait for it, Rubio, all got in line for some tax dollar bailouts:
“West asked for and got my tax dollars for orange growers, whose profession is by choice. My paying for their hard luck is not by choice. Mine is the building profession, decimated beyond repair, and rewarded by not one thin dime taken by force from orange growers. Nor do I want one thin dime of theirs or yours, Glenn.”
“Please ask West to reconcile his public libertarianism and conservative populism with the behind the scenes ”just like all the rest” actions getting on the federal teat for money we don’t have. His position varies with whether or not klieg lights are involved. You say “watch what they do, not what they say,“ and many of us ”hope” you will represent us and ask him this question. It is frightening that you and your websites are full on participants in elevating him to deity, just as the leftist media did with Barry.”

Romney? coff coff – RINO – coff coff
Pawlenty – Pretty good – hellofalot better than Obama
Newt? – I really like what he has to say – he’s smart – but again… old school. Afraid of his own shadow
Herman Cain? – I like that guy. Nothing wrong there.
Christi? Again – Love the guy – wish he’d run
Ron Paul? – Would make a great president and would kick some you-know-what. But TOO right.
Santorum? – We’ll see….. so far so good.
But WEST? There are so many good things about him that I like.

Not afraid of his own shadow –
Loves the country –
Will fight a good fight –
I would vote for him today based on the others.

Since you served in Gulf one, it’s not hard to guess your approximate age. I thought (by your progressive attitude) that you were a lot younger…..hence more impressionable, naive, and more easily indoctrinated with leftist ideology. Well, I guess there is just no excuse for you now. You embrace anything anti-American with open eyes.
William Yeats once wrote: “Things fall apart; The center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world……The best (people) lack all conviction, while the worst (people) are full of passionate intensity.”
His words are being proven true by progressives who are willing to throw the country into anarchy because they feel so passionate about their own point of view and forcing it upon others.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 9:58pm@SLAP: I know why you are angry. Because Glenn and Pat and Stu were ridiculing all of those (apparently 25% of the population) who questioned Obama’s birthplace. I never believed Obama was born in Kenya or anywhere outside of Hawaii, BUT I felt that there were enough inconsistencies to warrant questioning. I felt almost from the beginning (just like Beck and Co.) that Barry was playing a political game by not releasing his long form birth certificate and created a buzz around an issue that he knew he could close at his choosing, and deflect some attention from the growing marxist movement embraced by the White House. Even if it were true that Obama wasnt born in Hawaii and there was an actual videotape of his birth showing him being born in Kenya, I don’t believe for a second that enough sheeple in DC would vote to impeach him. I would be surprised if even one Democorpse would vote to impeach, and half of the Republicrats would bail too.
Glenn realized that the argument was unwinnable even in the off-chance that he was ineligible according to the Constitution. The Constitution means NOTHING to the left, and little more to half of the Republicans. Trump with the eager assistance of the MSM brought the nearly dead issue back to life and bigger than everSo in his zeal to convince his listeners that they were being played by Barry and the WH gang and the press ended up alienating a group of those who were fighting the left and were fighting to see The Constitution upheld (even if it turns out they were mistaken, in this case). I was angry at Glenn for using this tactic and SLAP’s reaction is precisely what I feared would happen.
Glenn has no bigger supporter than I, but he needs to heed his own advice and unite with those who may not agree on every issue, but agree on the core principles needed to rebuild this declining nation. SLAP, I understand your anger at Glenn, but dont throw out the baby with the bath water and convince yourself that Glenn is part of the problem. He most certainly is NOT, and he has done some incredible things to help awaken millions of Americans including myself. He made a mistake. He is human, just like the rest of us.

As I recall, West saved about a dozen or so lives via his actions in Iraq (I’m guessing you might have appreciated that from your C/O when you served in Gulf War I) and proceeded to turn himself in to face whatever consequences that may result from his actions. Anybody who isn’t looking at everything in the world thru a partisan lens would recognize that as selflessness. Indivisual sacrafice is not a big trait amongst progressives so I guess nobody should expect you to understand.

It’s time for Patriots to start filling blogs with information about candidates that Tea Parties can support, and get the word out.
