Nadra Enzi: "Allen West Paid A Price For Uppity Patriotism"

Was Rep. Allen West too real for voters?

Asserts the moderate-conservative Republican: "While Black dissidents passionately hate America and White conservatives, their rage at patriots like West is apoplectic. They form a rancid rainbow coalition with White leftists who hate America too to launch private COINTELPRO-style attacks against Black conservatives. Every kind of racist, lurid language was deployed to smear West as a race-traitor; war criminal and dupe for White supremacists. His outspoken patriotism and forcefulness made them fear a conservative 'Black Messiah' who'd lure Blacks and others away from the Left. Ironically, just as prejudiced 1960s public/private partnerships targeted charismatic civil rights and nationalist leaders from Dr. King to Malcolm X, Congressman West experienced the liberal version. Toppling this charismatic conservative spokesman became top priority for the Obama administration; the Democratic National Committee and Black America's pigmentary politburo."
