FLA.REP ALLEN WEST TELLS CAIR …….NUTS!

HE TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OF CAIR’S MOUTH! KGS

Rep. West’s Response To CAIR Letter: “NUTS!”

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBS4) – A South Florida Muslim group sent Congressman Allen West a letter asking him to disassociate himself from activists the group considers anti-Islamic.

Congressman West did respond and the letter he sent back is raising some eyebrows.

If it looks like the shortest letter you’ve ever seen from a member of congress, it probably is. How short? Try one word, in capital letters: “NUTS!”

“I was shocked at first. I didn’t expect this from a congressman,” said Nezar Hamze, the executive director of CAIR Florida — the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“We stand up for the civil rights of the Muslim community. That’s what we do,” said Hamze.

Hamze says he wrote to the Republican Congressman earlier this month with his concerns about the Congressman’s relationships with groups and people Hamze considers to be anti-Islamic.

“When I first saw that, I wasn’t sure if he was calling me nuts, or he was calling my concerns nuts,” said Hamze.

Constituents in West’s district 22 are just now reading the letter.

“It doesn’t look too professional to me. It doesn’t look thought out,” said one constituent named Chuck.

Simone Oliver, another district 22 constituent thinks it’s fine, but says it needs a little more.

“Maybe another sentence, explaining,” she said.

West has not fully explained his position, but in other letters to CAIR Florida, he has said he is neither anti-Islamic nor anti-Muslim.

Then CBS4 News discovered that during World War II, General Anthony McAuliffe famously wrote a one-word letter to the Germans in response to a surrender ultimatum. The word used: “Nuts!”

Hamze doesn’t think he’ll ever find out what Congressman West meant with the word because, he says, West has turned down all meetings with CAIR Florida.

  1. That response can be described with one word: Perfect.

    1. I second your sentiment. It was a very Finnish response by West, short, concise and to the point.

  2. Allen West omitted one apostrophed word…..

    He should have typed: “I’M NUTS!”

    1. No Deuce, if you know and and follow the man, you know that West is not nuts. You’re speaking from a dislike of the man for whatever reason you may have, but he’s certainly not nuts. He’s a clear headed thinking type of guy.
