Virginia Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA) dismissed Congressman Allen West’s (R-FL) criticism of the President. He said Allen West, a black man, was “not representative of the African-American community.” To Moran, West is a runaway from the Democrat plantation.
Here’s what West said . . .
Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneur will and spirit of the American people, somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America. {emphasis added}
It isn’t hard for Conservatives, or even Republicans, to understand that it was the message, not the messenger (Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Wasserman-Shultz), that West was talking about. But it was enough for Moran to play the race card to shoot the messenger, West, with his bigoted comment.
Apparently, Moran must believe that blacks are supposed to like Obama’s near double-digit unemployment (13.6% for blacks, over 50% for young blacks in Washington, D.C.), record food stamp enrollment, re-inflation of the housing and higher-education bubbles, and massive redistribution of wealth from the working class to the Wall Street bundler class.
Michelle Malkin summed it up nicely. . . .
Congressman Jim Moran is an old white Democrat from Virginia who thinks he can judge whether we minority conservatives are acting sufficiently non-white enough. Moran’s an inveterate bully, a brawler, a crook and a bigot. And not one of his civility-preaching liberal colleagues has the courage to call him out.
