Stanley Crouch: "Thank Goodness Allen West & His Redneck Lies Will Soon Be Leaving Congress"

Mr. Crouch argues that it's good that the "Go West" campaign is now heading home
Eh? By definition, rednecks are a certain type of white folks. Obviously, Booker Rising disagrees with the moderate-liberal columnist, about the conservative Republican Congressman: "When Florida’s Rep. Allen West, an imposing and muscular Tea Party hawk, was voted out of office on Election Day, the whole nation won a small but important victory. The black politician brought diversity to the far right, but it failed to help him against Democrat Patrick Murphy. A shrill descendant of Joe McCarthy, who liked to count the number of supposed Communists in the House, this hurler of big lies finally conceded two weeks after the election, all the while claiming that 'there are certainly still inaccuracies in the results,' which of course could not be proven. But when the final count was complete, West had actually lost by a bigger margin than initially thought. It’s anyone guess, however, when he will stop talking about 'questions' raised by the voting process."

More commentary from Mr. Crouch: "Things keep getting bad for our national liars. The rednecks of all colors may end up being asked to leave the party, and then we might have a real political debate that engages in ideas, not factoids. Now that would be the change that refreshes."
