I doubt that any members of the Congressional Black Caucus got any sleep last night. I’m sure they were tossing and turning, sick with worry and regret, trembling in fear over Allen West’s threat to leave the caucus. What could possible make West want to break ranks with colleagues he respectfully and lovingly likens to overseers?

Apparently, West was disturbed by comments by CBC members like Andre Carson, who said “some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me … hanging on a tree.” Chairman Emanuel Cleaver must have had the fear of death in him when he read West’s ultimatum. West urged Cleaver to “condem” and “disassociate the Congressional Black Caucus” from the “hate filled comments.” “Otherwise” wrote West “I will have to seriously reconsider my membership within the organization.”

Grounding his decision in the wise words of President Obama, whom he respectfully and lovingly calls “the dumbest person walking around in America right now” West explained “we heard the president talk about some of this over-the-top rhetoric and we should move away from that.” I seriously hope the CBC changes its oh so hateful tune and adopts, instead, the rational, moderate and not at all over the top voice spoken by Allen West. Here are the 10 of the countless Allen Westisms the CBC should emulate.
