Allen West hears cheers, jeers at town-hall meetings in Palm City, Jensen Beach

U.S. Rep. Allen West told about 90 largely supportive Palm City voters Tuesday that locally prioritized federal projects — such as the St. Lucie Inlet dredging — aren’t going to matter if Washington officials don’t address a mounting deficit.

Later Tuesday evening, a Jensen Beach crowd of 100 with more than 15 protesters greeted the congressman with mixed support, cheers and jeers.

The conservative tea party icon also got in shots at Democrats and President Obama, who spoke Tuesday at Florida Atlantic University. West said Obama was “scared” to have a discussion with him. He later said “he’s heard” up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn’t name names.

West said Obama was “scared” to have a discussion with him.

Yes, I'm sure that's the case. /

re: #3 Bulworth

I know I'd be scared to spend time with West...

This is a very dangerous territory. Old, washed up, and stupid territory, but still dangerous. We have a lot of History to learn about McCarthy and how he affected people.

re: #3 Bulworth

I think that's quite accurate. I mean, if I were to have a discussion with Allen West, I'm sure piss myself from laughter.

The real commies aren't impressed with West and his idiocy:

Communist Party slams Allen West

A top official of the Communist Party USA on Wednesday ripped Rep. Allen West’s “sad ploy” for claiming that as many as 80 Democratic members of the House are communists.

“I just think it’s an absurd way to cast a shadow over his colleagues. It’s kind of a sad ploy,” Libero Della Piana, a vice-chairman of the national Communist Party, said of the Florida Republican’s charge that about 80 House Democrats were members of the radical party.

“It’s just guilt by association taken to an extreme,” he told POLITICO. He also said there are no members of Congress who are members of the Communist Party – not even avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Geez, Allen West can't even do a Joe McCarthy impression right! McCarthy was smart enough to just claim he had a list of 'Communists', he was never dumb enough to make the kind of wildly implausible and easily refutable claim that Allen West just made.
