Talk about a death blow. Allen West proves he knows how to do battle by releasing an ad that hammers Patrick Murphy for getting arrested and fighting cops the same night he was preparing to take his men into war. It even shows Murphy’s mug shot.

This is a killer ad:

Wish Romney takes a lesson from Col. West and does something like this. All about character..

Oh come on guys. Do you realize being arrested for drunk and disorderly is a LIB's idea of a resume enchancement?

A. West needs to win. His defeat would be a huge defeat. I totally support him.

WOW!!! What a well deserve bomb thrown at that dirtbag Murphy. The mugshot said it all. This is the best ad I have seen this election cycle. Go Allen West!!!

Great Ad Rep. LtCol. Allen West.

This ad epitomizes the difference between a liberal Democrat, and a Conservative Republican- aka leadership, integrity, virtue, courage, professionalism, and service to one's country- not to one's drunken self..

oooh, baby that was a great ad!

Who do you want? A Patriot or a barfly? Classic!

WOW- This may be the best ad of all time. I love everything Rep. Col. West stands for and is about, and this ad in 30 seconds tells anyone with at least half a brain that there is NO contest. There is no comparison- 1 MAN prepares him men to defend and fight for freedom; and 1 rich BOY parties at a club in Miami, gets crazy drunk, ejected, fights with police and arrested. Both are seeking the same seat in Congress. Patrick Murphy should just go and do some designer drugs and get drunk and let the MAN handle business in FL & DC. West needs to be Prez of USA someday. We need this MAN.

If they can't get Paquiao and Mayweather in a ring together, I say they book a fight between Allen West and Bob Beckel.

That wouldn't be a fight; that would be a workout for Allen, as he'd kick's Beckel's fat ass all over the place.

Anyone that can't see the honesty, integrity, intelligence, and civility of Allen West and understand that he is part of what makes this country great, is just too damned stupid to vote.

Gotta love the fact that some young men go straight to their duty, while others are still wondering what they want to be when they make it to age 30.

"POSS OF STOLEN" -- so in addition to the bar fight he had stolen property.

30 seconds. That was a short knock-out.

This ad joins my list of classics along with that Alabama Agricultural Commissioner ad.

Dirty move by West. Come on. Why use an incident from 30 years ago. Okay, 20 yrs ago. Well yeah, it was only 9 yrs ago but still, Patrick Murphy was just a little kid then. Adult? Well, he was arrested because he is a minority and you can't fault an Irish for fighting... its their nature!

Bottom line: West should know better. He obviously forgot all the diversity lessons he received while in the military. You know, like the ones provided by CAIR and other groups.

As an officer, I'm betting Allen West had to dress down his men for fighting in bars a few times.

ESPECIALLY if they lost the fight.

That's the way to go, don't hold the punches, Romney can learn a lesson here.

If only Obama had displayed a lifetime of the same character, courage, patriotism, and intellect that LTC West has, - he'd be a shoe-in for re-election.

Fortunately for the Floridians of the 18th Congressional district, you have Allen West. Up here in Massachusetts we have 9 socialist MoonBats running for re-election, and damned few real Republicans to oppose them. Allen West was WARMLY received here when he visited the Old North Bridge and the Lexington Green.

Florida, please help save the country! Re-elect Allen, but FIRE Obama!

West will win big, thank GOD! We so need people like him in Congress, people who place duty and country above personal gain. West has a great future ahead of him.

Typical American politics of the past. A thug figures out he can scam the public by becoming a politician. Allen West, God bless him, is a refreshing and positive alternative to the way things used to be.

Agreed, I was just thinking near term.

Ace has a link covering how Patrick Murphy is counterattacking by claiming West was kicked out of the Army for his well known interaction with an Iraqi suspect.

Of course West wasn't kicked out (though he was reprimanded). He did eventually resign...after proving himself to be Col. Badass and a man who knows how to get things done. Him and Jack Baur need to do a show together.

Last week I was placing a comment on an article at Stacy McCain's place. Due to some weird timing bug, it got attached instead to a comment that wasn't even "up" yet at his site. Disqus simply "loses the handle" from time to time.
