Take your pick (however being a self-defined liberal these days pretty much conveys a little from column A and a little from column B anyways).

I almost can't believe how you liberals can talk down to groups like the NAACP in this way by assuming that they have no political will beyond shared ethnicity. Listen to Allen West. He's constantly calling out people for this kind of racism. Romney came and spoke to this group as a group of voters. He didn't change his tune for them and he didn't assume they were all just voting for the black guy. His appearance before them was an example of what non-racist behaviour is all about. They seem to have known it. Of course the supposedly intellectually superior liberal elite who really do consider themselves everybody's 'masters' dont get it and will build on their already sturdy house of hipocrisy by throwing out accusations of racism at everyone they don't agree with.
Flippity, flop?

To see his own words, assinine as they may be, in print. I think it gives him his jollies.

I suppose you could refer to his writing style as "stream of unconsciousness."

You're too polite Finn. I would characterize it as a stream of projectile vomit or worse.

Allen West is a half crazy Right Wing Uncle Tom. He even accused President Obama of wanting to make us his "slaves".

"At a campaign event on Sunday in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) told voters President Obama wanted to enslave them with government programs. 'He does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning and having that title of American. He’d rather you be his slave,' West said, according to WPTV. This is hardly West’s first reference to slavery; back in February he called government programs 'the most insidious form of slavery.' In August 2011, he referred to himself as a 'modern-day Harriet Tubman, to kind of lead people on the Underground Railroad, away from that plantation into a sense of sensibility.'”

Also, are you familiar with West's service record? I'm not even a little surprised that you admire this screwball.

And, when one's political opponents live outside the boundaries of rationality, that's where one has to go to combat them (you).

Right back atcha:

"Nearly the same number of people -- 11 million -- joined the program during the Bush and Obama administrations, according to Department of Agriculture records. Of course, the jump during Obama's tenure has come in only three years."

The use of Uncle Tom by any other than blacks is racist.

There you go again whellie. Got those blinders on too tight? You do realize that assertion was found completely false?
