Allen West Says 80 House Dems are Communist Party Members

[ClydeR]

The conservative tea party icon also got in shots at Democrats and President Obama, who spoke Tuesday at Florida Atlantic University. West said Obama was "scared" to have a discussion with him. He later said "he's heard" up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn't name names.

Why is he being so timid? Name them! Name them before November.

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives), there are 192 Democrat House members. If 80 of them are Communists, then that's nearly half.

Only half? I would have guessed much higher.

This is an outrage. Democrats in the House have clearly stated they are Democrats, not Communists. If they were Communists they would have ran under the Communist ticket. Why is Allen West allowed to outright lie like this?
