Dishonesty by the Left????

http://allenbwest.com/2015/05/paid-f...-getting-paid/

From Col. Allen West (who I think would make a fine presidential or vice presidential candidate) and the New York Times....So, the protests and the rage and the looting and burning were not totally a snowball effect from mad, disillusioned horrified citizens? The situation was (at least in part) a conspiracy by MORE and ACORN'S successor to produce anarchy, destruction and mayhem?

Maybe it's just me but I find this dishonest.....but I'm not surprised. It takes some wind out of the sails of the Progressive argument....

Ah, Allen "I'm Even Too Crazy For Florida" West.

Drummed out of the Army and then drummed out of Congress.

Best not to quote a dishonest person to begin with while posting about honesty. Besides the guy is from Florida which in itself should be a red flag.

Another ridiculous conspiracy theory to promote a political agenda, it never stops.
And yet another mostly self made success story going on to make a fool of themself going outside their area of expertise.
I check Fox News online daily, I know where much of this agenda driven nonsense originates but I confess to not wasting one second in the daytime Excrement in Fraudcasting AM talk echo chamber, so I don't know what is coming from that fantasy factory until it hits mainstream.

Dishonesty is on both sides, and the middle. Sorry, until they figure out a better way were stuck with it.

Yes. lawdawg got the name of the 'news source' wrong. We must presume he just made a mistake in his mind, and wasn't being dishonest about the source....

Confirmation bias at work in the frightwing echo chamber.
