Allen West Turns IRS Investigation To Obama Forced The Closing Of GOP Car Dealerships

[Black_Label]

Now this is downright hilarious, but what else would you expect from this idiot. Allen West, recently during an interview pulled a Glenn Beck style move by turning from the IRS investigation into tea party non profits, to Obama forced the closing of GOP car dealerships 4 years ago.

Another bigoted attack on conservative Black Americans?

Nope, a fair laugh at an American reactionary who is crazy. AW is not a mainstream Republican.

You can play the lunatic card, ah yes, but not the racist card. To suggest it when the fact does not exist is to reveal yourself, kiddo, as a reverse card racist. Shove that card up your butt.

I do recall an investigation into the dealerships that were forced to close when Obama took over the auto companies for a while. The claim was that the fact that most that were ordered closed happened to be owned by Republicans was sheer coincidence.

I think West is just pointing out that perhaps it was not a coincidence in light of this latest scandal.


When it came to closing the dealerships, profits weren't considered and it may have cost the companies more to close certain ones. Plus, they closed them so fast and eliminated 100,000 jobs when it wasn't necessary to do so.

The Obama administration's insistence on radical numbers of closures ended up shuttering dealerships in those rural areas disproportionately, while dealerships and jobs in metro areas -- Obama's geographical base -- were left open.

Additionally, it has been widely theorized that dealers targeted for closure as a result of Obama's interference were predominantly those who donated campaign contributions to Republicans. Although evidence to date is largely anecdotal, given what we've already reported about the Obama administration's handling of the auto bailout, such speculation does have considerable grounds for support. While that last point is leaves room for debate, the details contained in the Barofsky report are not. As Barofsky points out, the Obama administration was given an advance copy, and "Treasury [the Obama Treasury Department] might not agree with how the audit's conclusions portray the Auto Team's decision making or with the lessons that SIGTARP has drawn from those facts, but it should be made clear that Treasury has not challenged the essential underlying facts upon which those conclusions are based."

Included among those undisputed facts:

-"[D]ealerships were retained because they were ... minority- or woman-owned dealerships";
-Thousands of jobs were lost, unnecessarily, due specifically to Obama's "mandate for shared sacrifice";
-A disproportionate number of Obama-forced closings were of rural dealerships, in areas unfriendly to Obama, even though such closures could "jeopardize the return to profitability" for GM and Chrysler.[/QUOTE]

You are the only one on this board who has successfully brandished the "absolutely disabused from reality" card.

Why is it you have to turn everything into a racist issue? After all as Obama first raised the race issue when he said:
They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me.
He’s young and inexperienced
and he’s got a funny name.
And did I mention he’s black?"

Very interesting point being made by the below quote:
"Nate Silver, who has a nasty habit of using pesky things like facts to respond to silly arguments, explained, "There is just one problem with this theory. Nobody has bothered to look up data for the control group: the list of dealerships which aren't being closed. It turns out that all car dealers are, in fact, overwhelmingly more likely to donate to Republicans than to Democrats -- not just those who are having their doors closed"
The Washington Monthly

So let's see how this same logical and rationale holds up with OTHER situations where the CONTROL group is examined!
Premise: The reason 85% of MSM is biased towards Obama/Democrats
"Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008,
The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees (85% of the employees!!!) of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880. By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863.
The average Republican contribution was $744.
according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters | The Daily Caller

So using the same logic for closed GOP/Dem dealerships.. there are more MSM Democrat voters then there are GOP.
As a result the news most people depend on is biased favoring Democrats and presenting negative stories regarding GOP.

So you people criticizing West for bringing to the attention GOP dealers closed more then Democrats.. If the above rationale, i.e. more GOP then Democrat dealerships
applies , it should apply to an even MORE APPALLING rationale.. I.E. 85% of the MSM is biased for Democrats and put their money where their output also goes!

Democrats have nothing left but the personal attack. Crazy, lunatic, idiot, ignorant, and of course the ever present liar.

obama has been at war with America since the day he was elected senator in a rigged election. Now it's time to look at it all, everything and see just how bad it has been.

 

[WillowTree]

Allen West told the absolute truth. Truth= that which democrats do not recognize.
