Allen West Doubts Tammy Duckworth's Loyalty To Country
Source: People for the American Way
Former congressman Allen West is angry about the Democratic picks for the latest House panel investigating the 2012 Benghazi attack. Speaking yesterday with Janet Mefferd, West criticized Elijah Cummings, Adam Smith, Adam Schiff, Linda Sanchez and Tammy Duckworth, the Democratic lawmakers picked to fill the partys five slots on the 12-member GOP-led special committee.
West especially raised doubts about Duckworth, a veteran who lost both of her legs and the use of her right arm in the Iraq War, raising suspicions about her loyalty to the country.
Tammy Duckworth, you know I just dont know where her loyalties lie, for her to have been a veteran and a wounded warrior for the United States Army, she should know that this is not the right thing and hopefully she will remember the oath of office that she took as an Army officer and not the allegiance I guess she believes she has to the liberal progressives of the Democrat [sic] party, West said.
He also attacked Sanchez for the whiny way that she has, called Smith a geeky little debater and said Cummings should not be on that committee.

The more people hear, the more people will see how low he, and the Repubs, will go. If the Dems play this right, they can mine political gold out of this. God knows they need it right now.

(35,094 posts)While serving in Taji, Iraq, West received information from an intelligence specialist about a plot to ambush his unit. The alleged plot reportedly involved Yahya Jhodri Hamoodi, an Iraqi police officer. West had his men detain Hamoodi. Soldiers testified that in the process of detaining Hamoodi, he appeared to reach for his weapon and needed to be subdued. Hamoodi was beaten by four soldiers from the 2/20th Field Artillery Battalion on the head and body. West then fired his pistol near Hamoodi's head, after which Hamoodi provided West with names and information, which Hamoodi later described as "meaningless information induced by fear and pain." At least one of these suspects was arrested as a result, but no plans for attacks or weapons were found.

I'd still like to see Alan Grayson on deck in the batters box to fill in as a designated hitter if one of the other 5 needs a sick day. I'm sure I'd puke often listening to teabaggers belching Benghazi myths all day long.

Please watch Tammy kick ass and take names in this clip:

The prosecution will present its case to the grand jury Monday.

(5,279 posts)You served on the line, I'll not question your commitment. Just your judgment and sense of justice.
Why do you suppose that everyone who served should think like you? Are you insane? Liberal Democrats are Americans you dithering idiot. Fighting to undo the catastrophic damage the right has caused for forty years is following the Oath of Service.

(3,596 posts)I am in mid late 50s and I have never seen the level of vitriol and hatred in our public discourse.
Yes there was mud-slinging from the left during the Dumbya-Darth Cheney era but nothing like what we have seen since Obama became President.
The level of hatred is evidenced everywhere from the treatment of the President to this member of Congress who sacrificed both her legs in the service of her country.
How dare he even utter her name. He is a turd in the turd bowl into which I will not even urinate because my urine deserves better.

He reminds me of a Limbaugh-like character who has to make what he knows is an occasional outrageous comment in order to stay in the news.
I believe when someone is this much an asshole, it has to be by design. He's incredible, in the true sense of the word.

He can take over for the Pig Man when he finally explodes or otherwise keels over from a OD of OXY.
