Soros-Backed Super PAC Plans to Take Out Rep. West

“Dump West,” the new George Soros-backed Super PAC charged with the task of taking out Rep. Allen West (R-FL), will file with the FEC as early as next week, according to documents obtained by the Shark Tank.
And judging by some of the names involved in the project, it looks like the group desperately wants to see the retired Lieutenant Colonel voted out of office.
“Top national Democratic operative Charles Halloran has been retained … to target Congressman Allen West for defeat this November,” the Tank’s Javier Manjarres reports.
“Halloran is a former aide to President Bill Clinton and is one of the most respected voter targeting/turn out experts in the Democratic Party,” he adds.
Other top-tier names involved in the “Dump West” project include Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (who tasked former Congressman Larry Smith, now a lobbyist, with stocking the group’s war chest) and, of course, billionaire philanthropist George Soros.
“[L]eft wing billionaire George Soros is among those who committed to a $5 million war chest to defeat West,” Manjarres adds.
Then there’s this:
Halloran has brought in “American Directions” to manage the Super-PAC’s effort for internet based, low-dollar fundraising, polling and voter contact. “American Directions” is among the heavy weight firms in Washington DC …
And last but not least:
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is fully on-board in the efforts to raise money for the “Dump West” effort. West’s Democratic opponent Patrick Murphy has raised a sizeable war chest and those donors who has given him the maximum are viewed as potential donors to the “Dump West” effort.
What we’re trying to say is that they really, really, really want Rep. West out.
“It’s not surprising that the hard Left is seeking to beat West” Florida Tea Party leader Eric Von Tausch told the Tank. “West’s a conservative hero.”
Here is the memo obtained by the Shark Tank:

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 7:41pmTime to make our own citizens super pac and send money to Allen West. They, the anti American fanatics are so in fear of him they create a super pac? Yep. Because he doesn’t buy into the bill of goods they have sold to most blacks in this country. Think about it. During slavery days the plantation owners beat and whipped their slaves. These “plantation” owners are now going to beat and whip Allen West for individual independence because he understands them. The pathos to me is I do not understand the willingness by smart black people to refuse to toe the line. I say we pray for them to wake up. I am sending a contribution.to Rep. West.

To read the overly paraniod Paul acolytes, er, patriots (lol) on here, West is the devil incarnate, a traitor… just the same way their leftist brethren portray him. But who isn‘t from the Republican Party if you’re not the interloping, carpet bag’ging half-baked Libertarian named Dr. Liberty… Ron Paul ?

I could easily forgive him for his votes against the Constitution if he admitted he was wrong and worked to fix his mistakes. And even though I dislike his voting record, in this case Soros is messing with a Marine, and you don’t mess with just ONE Marine. I certainly wouldn’t cry if some Marine justice was carried out on this globalist punk-ass commie. Probably not the response you were hoping for, but…

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 6:59pmPlease explain in detail the war crime that LTC West committed. We’re not fools here to just let you get away with that. Yeah, West did commit what amounted to a misdemeanor and was offered an Article 15 Nonjudicial punishment, which he accepted. West even right after the event contacted his superiors and explained what had happened. Doesn’t sound like a war crime to me. BTW, have you read any of the Geneva Conventions, or the Hague Convention? I have for some research when I was a doctrine writer in the Army. He committed nothing that is considered such an infraction there either. Take your silly little lies and go pound salt.

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 7:11pmAllen West has more integrity in his eyelash than George Soros will ever have. Tell me, CONSERVAKILLA, on what facts do you base your accusations that Allen West is a psychopathic criminal or a liar? Specifically, what material do you have as proof of either statement?
As for your good friend and buddy George Soros, did you know that he was born a Hungarian Jew named Schwartz who changed his name and helped march his own people toward the death camps? Did you know that he claims that that particular year was one of ‘the best years’ of his life? What did you say about psycopathis criminals and murderers? Are you for them or against them, CONSERVAKILLA?

Posted on July 11, 2012 at 7:50pmWow! This is GREAT! I cannot think of a better thing for George Soros to do than spend his wealth in this fashion–other than maybe burn each bill as he flushes it down the toilet! Go-o-o-o-o, George! The sooner you bust your bank, the better we will all be! Of course, I don‘t doubt for a minute that a plumb nickel of what you’ll spend will be yours, which I’m sure is safely ensconced where the IRS cannot touch it! Gee, it must be fun to play with OPM (Other Peoples’ Money)! I have no doubt that Allen West can hold his own with the best (and the worst) of them! Every dollar you waste in this fashioin is a dollar that cannot be spent in a more subversive fashion! Allen West is going to become known as Lightnin’, but not the Lightnin of the Amos and Andy variety! He’ll be known as Lightning Rod, as in the conductor of George Soros’ charge to ground! Z-z-z-z-a-p-p-p! Harmlessly grounded, rather than electrocuting every conservative in sight! George, on the other hand, won’t be known as Lightnin Bolt, but more as Z-z-z-t, Z-z-z-t, like a power line downed by a tree, Zip-zapping and snapping around–soon to be rendered harmless by the highly trained linemen than keep our power systems up and running, and AFFORDABLE, unlike the wishes of our Prissydent, who just ruined Patriot Coal!
