Have You Seen the Anti-Allen West Ad That Uses Kids? West Accuses It of ‘Exploiting Children’

Patrick Murphy, Congressman Allen West’s opponent, has an imaginative way of framing his attack ads against his opponent. First, it was the ad featuring West punching women with boxing gloves – an ad so controversial it sparked a several days long impromptu discussion of racism in the media.
So civility might not be Murphy’s strong suit. However, he hasn’t let that stop him from putting out an ad slamming Congressman West for his lack of civility, with a none-too-subtle slap at the Congressman for being childish. And we mean that literally. The ad, entitled “Time Out,” is narrated by children:
For the keen observers in the audience: No, West never referred to anyone as “the most vile, despicable member of the Communist party.” That comment is a mash-up of several different accusations West made against his opponents, some directed specifically at Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and others at the Democratic party generally. However, given that the ad splices that particular quote across different children, it‘s probably safe to say that the makers acknowledge it’s a composite statement, and not one of West’s genuine attacks.
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 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 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.”

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 4:55pmForget Rep. Allen West-
this Democratic WIMP Patrick Murphy would lose against anyone.
Apparently, no one told this pasty weasel,
that America does not deal with ANYONE who chooses to use
children in their big-boy BULLYING games.
Talk about child abuse….the MOST detestable abuse of power !
This drip & the rest of his liberal ilk couldn’t hold a candle to West-
in strength, wisdom & wit.
Anyone with a brain would never elect a dope like this,
who uses young, innocent children to spew his idiocy.
Someone THIS stupid is obviously lacking good judgement
and obviously NOT a person, worthy of holding the public trust
or anything similar…..what an evil, little loser !
All Americans should be embarrassed by him-

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 12:38pmAll I can say is Allen West must terrify Democrats–just like Sarah Palin–because they are using Alinsky’s Rules. Clearly… it’s a smear campaign and Democrats are always insisting Republicans maintain civility. I support Congressman West, and have sent donations..even though I live no where near Florida. We need patriotic Americans in Congress with dedication, integrity, and leadership abilities.

What a joke. Thank God for men like Col. West. He is what we call a real military leader. Have you ever worn the uniform? Have you ever taken an oathe to give your life for a cause that you might not even agree with? You know nothing. You have no honor, fortitude, or sense of duty. You ought to be thanking God that you have the freedom to post nonsense while being protected by better men.

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 12:00pmI would like to meet the individual who can watch this advertisement using children and “say, from the mouth‘s of ’babes’, herein lies the truth”. Give me a break.
Seriously, how can anyone look at that ad and take it seriously? How many politically astute children are there that are under 18…..or 25 for that matter. Heck, it wasn’t until I was about 25 before I finally figured out that I was NOT smarter than my parents.
This kind of ad reminds me of the armed Iraqi insurgents hiding behind women and children so that coalition forces would not fire upon them.
