Nice try liberal.


But Allen West's office had a ready defense: (http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/AllenWest-AmericanFlag-scuba/2011/06/14/id/400023)



“Congressman West participated in an event to bring attention to scuba diving off the coast of his Congressional District,” his communications director, Angela Sachitano, told Politico in an email.

“He went diving with several disabled veterans who fought to defend the American flag and this nation. Congressman West displayed the American flag on an underwater wreck as a sign of respect for the flag and the accomplishment for these veterans who each and every day work to overcome their disability. In addition, Congressman West would like to wish everyone a Happy Flag Day.”

Wait, are you saying that you support Allen West? He is a huge warmonger.

I support Ron Paul.

I support Ron Paul.

You dodged the question. The question was whether you support Allen West. Your earlier post in this thread seemed to indicate that you do. So why hide it?

I think it's silly to attack Allen West on the issue of the flag being underwater.

I'm neutral on my opinion of Allen West, I haven't fully researched him yet.

What's far more surprising is that the Israeli flag isn't accompanying the American flag, or better yet, no American flag at all.

Through the tone of your initial post, you sure sounded like a firm supporter of Allen West. Neutral on your opinion of a warmonger? Shouldn't that be a big red flag? Oh, that's right... he warmongers against Muslims, and so do you.

The "Nice try liberal" comment was in response to this:

Again, attacking Allen West on the flag being underwater is silly.

At first it looked as though you were directing that comment at Agorism. But it was the appeal to authority logical fallacy that made it look like you support him.

And we don't need to "attack" him on the flag being underwater (though it is ironic that he would do that), when he warmongers against Muslims, which is much worse.

I understand he tried to wear a israeli flag pin, but it popped his B.C.
