Allen West Tells Ron Klein to "man up"
Excerpt (but read the whole thing):West, who got 76.7 percent against Brady in the Aug. 24 primary, says such talk has a place in political discourse. "That's how people talk. ... And you can print that: That's how men talk. You know, college football season's started and Chris Fowler on ESPN College GameDay is going to talk about taking people behind the woodshed," West said in a recent interview. "You can call it trash talking, you can call it whatever you want. Patton was a tough guy. MacArthur was a tough guy. William Tecumseh Sherman was a tough guy. America has a history of, when there are tough times, they look for tough leaders to take them out of those tough times and tough situations." Klein has a different view of what the times demand. "These are serious times and people want serious people in office solving their problems. This isn't about college football. This isn't about back-slapping and using, you know, sexist remarks or threatening statements as a way of being cute or funny," Klein said. Posted by: mrp 2010-09-12 |
