Allen West once again isn’t backing down, even when Soledad O’Brien tries to press him on his comments about the the CPC members having a commie ideology. She even quotes the Vice Chairman of the National Communist Party refudiating his comments, but West’s response to those remarks is the best part of this whole clip:

http://www.theobamafile.com/_opinion/BlackPanthersBarackObama.htm <this site has been put in the US Library of Congress (letter on home page). The Socialist Party of America announced in their October 2009 newsletter that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus.

It's hard to believe that Mrs. Obama got into Princeton and Obama, with his grammar and stuttering when off teleprompter, got into Harvard. Read Michelle Obama's thesis linked below. Then scroll down and see her say that Obama went home to Kenya and photo of Michelle with Farrakhan's wife. Michelle Obama is a nasty and ungrateful woman. She gets even with America (remember when she said she was not proud of America until Obama got into office) by going on posh tax payer financed vacations, 19 so far, at a cost of millions. http://theobamafile.com/ObamaWife.htm We need to embrace our Founding Fathers' vision for America, NOT socialism. The UN is launching their plan for socialism in June. It's time to get out. http://www.examiner.com/article/un-to-debut-plan-for-world-socialism-at-rio-20-conference-time-for-us-to-exit

She's the biggest air headed biggot in television news..PLEASE get Alan on the ticket with Romney!!! Immediately. Not only is he on point and exactly what is needed but this will diffuse any attempts by the left liberals to spin the election with divisive racist black or white politics

She is such an ignorant dolt. Breitbart released background information on one of the communist representatives she named in this interview. Stunning. I wish rep. West was on everyday with her until her ratings push her off the air.

There really hasn't been much of a protest by democrats on this leaving me to wonder why? I can only assume that it's true for that reason, which also leads me to believe that they haven't made a stink about it because they want this to be forgotten as quickly as possible lest the public start to do some research on their representatives and senators and find out exactly how true this really is.

communists =/= members of the communist party.

If he wants to say the members of the progressive caucus are communists, that's fine, but that's not the same thing as saying that they're "members of the communist party" which is what he originally said.

Dems know if they were honest about their beliefs and true agenda, they would never win an election. Their only hope is to obfuscate, confuse and distort. Their redefining of actual words is a big part of the con. Taxes are now called "revenue", spending is now "investment". Against the healthcare mandate? - "sexist". Would like a secure border? - "racist".

So now if you are for wealth redistribution, nationalization of industry, single payer healthcare, unlimited welfare (unemployment, food stamps, sec 8 housing), expanding labor unions, and every other state-run cradle to grave, individual liberty smashing policy the "progressives" openly support, why should you be offended when someone just so happens to accurately define what it is that you are.... If not for the fact that it is your intent to deceive?

She can start with Nancy Pelosi who recently stated she wants to END the First Amendment of the US (free speech), which is what ALL Communists want to do.....

Communists ALWAYS want to end "free speech" when it goes against Government controlling the masses (people)

Over 40 years of Dept of Education, they have brainwashed the masses into believing it is OK to be a Communist Nation.... Just ask Obama with his Harvard Law degree!

Dear Soledad,

First, I think your best days and performances were back as a "vee-jay" on MTV.

Now, having said that, HERE'S THE LIST! READ'EM AND WEEP!

How many of these JERKS want to mess with your life, and have the government in on it??

How many of these JERKS think they can run YOUR life better than YOU?

How many of these JERKS think that your Constitutional Rights mean nothing?

Allen West will not be VP.

I love Allen West. All he is saying is true. Furthermore, he is consistent. However, his hopes of becoming VP have ended with these remarks. These remarks, to the establishment GOP, are those of a loose cannon. To Mitt Romney, this is "setting one's hair on fire," to paraphrase him. I hope Allen West knows this. (He probably doesn't care, though. Hint: he has a soul and doesn't seem capable of losing it.)

Lori Patriot

West is respected for saying what needs to be said. After decades of insults from the left and them taking advantage of our kinder natures and manners, people have had enough. West will be a great VP because he has the leadership, experience, Tea Party support and the talents for the job. We need a leader not a politician at this very dangerous time in our history. Romney is a business leader, not a politician. Allen West is a leader of men and impressive. They will help unify our country, be great role models and accomplish a lot as a team. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKMDS4cB58U&feature=share

She acts so immaturely and downright stupid, I don't know if I could've tolerated an interview with her. She's too stupid to listen to the fact that he's identifying them as communistic, due to their support of communist ideologies, and not by the carrying around of some ridiculous "card". As for her, I'd be telling her she needs to be issued a card that says "here's your sign".
