But which jerkwad thing did Allen West do to black people, you might ask?
He delivered Chick-fil-A to a Congressional Black Caucus meeting. They were not appreciative.
A Democratic lawmaker says Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) offended the entire Congressional Black Caucus by delivering Chick-fil-A chicken and biscuits to their weekly meeting — and then walking out — when it was his turn to provide the group with a formal lunch.
Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) told The Huffington Post that the incident happened about six months ago but is now fresh in his mind given West’s recent comments in support of the fast food chain, which is run by a well-known Christian and backer of anti-gay religious organizations.
[...]
“That was an ‘in your face.’ Every member of the Congressional Black Caucus that was there was offended,” he said.
Asked more specifically why lawmakers were insulted, Hastings said it was because they saw West’s actions as making a statement in support of the conservative views held by Chick-fil-A leaders. West is the only Republican member of the caucus.
“He did it deliberately,” Hastings said, explaining that he saw West’s message as, “You know, ‘That’s what I think of you all.’”
It’s actually more offensive that he dropped off fast food. That’s like having a tailgate with wine coolers.

Allen West does realize he's a blah?
He's a Plantation Republican.
Of course not. He's a Republican. They "don't see color," remember?
Allen West is the worst kind of Blah. He hates his own people.
*says this Blah girl*
It's the downside of having no reflection. That, and ridiculous-looking hair.
SarahPAC bought her a zeppelin?
Ron Paul Blimp dogfight !
Man, blimp jousting would be entertaining in the same way that baseball is. Slow, dragged out, and full of gasbags.
Keep fuckin' with that chicken Allen.
Proving his point that the Congressional Black Caucus is racist!
Hey Allen West, why don't you gave 'em 40-oz too?
That would have added malt to injuries.
Don't forget some fatties, as they will give you the munchies so you will be interested in the chicken.
Rubbing malt into the wound?
Wake me up when you find something Allen West did that WASN'T dickish.
Now, now, you're too young to sleep forever.
He dropped it off and then said "this chicken is da bomb!" Jeezus is lard.
So, I take it that he got stiffed on the tip?
Of course he did, because as we all know…hey! I see what you did there.
But really, who are we to talk?
I do hate when I get shafted on the tips.
That's one of the downsides to working the All-You-Eat Sunday Brunch Buffet shift at The Gold Club, sister.
Well after all, they're the real racists.
He threw in some watermelon too, right?
With grape soda?
Where is their m-fing ice tea?
As an almost white guy I find this uncomfortable to snark to.
What's an "almost white guy"? A Jew? A light-skinned Indian? A blue-eyed Arab? A…a…Russian?
Italian Catholic, I take comfort in the fact that the KKK hates me even though I have no rhythm.
Italian Catholic? Is there any other type of Italian? lol
Well yes but you have Roman Catholic, Latin Rite Catholic, Eastern Rite Catholic, Romanian-Catholics, Ukrainian Greek Catholics, Armenian Catholics and Jehovah's Witnesses.
I have a particular fondness for the dark meat, shall we say, but Allen West just does not do it for me. I would not hit that.
" I would not hit that." …. except in the face … with a chair
Oh Allen, you' re not white and even with Michael Jackson style alterations they will still hate you for being black.
"Democratic lawmaker says Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) offended the entire Congressional Black Caucus by delivering Chick-fil-A chicken and biscuits to their weekly meeting — and then walking out…"
…back to his cabin?
Allen West thought fried chicken would go over well for the black caucus? What, no watermelon? Such a friggin' creep.
Has Bryan Fischer said this proves Allen West is white yet?
"only Republican member of the caucus.."
And when he walked out, a gauntlet of hi 5's from his snickering buddies waiting in the hall.. Boner, Ryan, et al.. I was down in D.C. testifying and as I walked the halls of the congressional office building it felt exactly like high school between classes.
But with more sexual harassment.
I'm impressed he didn't bring them watermelon for dessert. Then again, watermelon probably wasn't in season at that time and he didn't want to pay for the stuff from Chile.
Look at the dick on that cow!
I am confused. I am a liberal but I can't understand why I continually try to tamp down Chick-fil-A's/Dan Cathay's freedom of speech. Am I just an ungodly beast?
LIberals like the First Amendment; conservatives the Second Amendment. That's pretty much your dilemma.
“That was an ‘in your face.’ Every member of the Congressional Black Caucus that was there was offended,” he said.
Alcee Hastings was too polite to add "But the silver lining is that he walked the fuck out afterwards, so we did not have to deal with his sorry ass."
Word up!
Wow, that red codpiece really says it all.
I still can't believe people are using a fast-food restaurant chain as a proxy for the issue of gay marriage. I guess it’s for people who feel so strongly about the issue but not enough to make the slightest personal sacrifice for it, like give up a greasy fried chicken sandwich. Fuck these people.
This story's only sexy if everyone smoked a Black & Mild aftewards.
Or…someone was softly sobbing.
We had a guy like this in our group. When we had a potluck Christmas party, everyone else brought in nice homemade treats. He dropped off a bucket of KFC.
A half-eaten bucket of KFC.
At my old job we had a girl bring in a frozen box of Totino's Pizza Rolls to a potluck. She just dumped the entire box on the table and let it melt in-between a 7-layer dip and cheesecake.
JW pats self on back: Nearer to T'day I bring in two huge slow cookers of stew, sides of coleslaw and cornbread.
It is my tradition and gift to the company. They seem to enjoy it and noone has been poisoned….yet
You are a good co-worker, JW.
When I go to potluck dinners I bring a bunch of those travel size Pepto Bismol. People send me thank you cards for weeks.
Equating West to this guy might be a bit harsh, after all he was saving some of you from certain death by fried chicken.
This sounds like the kind of thing i do for pot lucks, because I resent them and think they suck.
i'm beginning to think allen west is not a very good congressman.
but maybe that's just me.
Or human. Whatever.
I'm beginning to think Allen West is not a very good human being.
Allen West was then asked to never produce The Wall for Pink Floyd again.
West would have included watermelons in his impromptu delivery, but that would have pushed his fiscal conservative free lunch budget into the black.
It's no shock that West's autobiography is called "White Like Me: The Allen West Story."
He then unwrapped two patties, shoved them together, and called them Chick on Chick fil A's, noting the supple breast meat.
You're starting to make that poison sound good. I still prolly won't eat it, but I would watch it for awhile.
No no. You're confusing West with Hermann Cain. Or Clarence Thomas. Mind you, easy mistake.
Honestly, with this guy's record of hits, this seems to me one of the least dickish things he's done. I think the Caucus should consider themselves fortunate that he saw fit to immediately walk back out without any additional comments.
Trust me, he may play stupid on TV, but he knows who to fuck with and how to fuck with them. He's smart enough to high-tailed his ass on out of the room. They'd have knocked his ass back to the 1980's, you know, the decade his haircut is from.
And he followed it up with a pack of menthols, cuz you know they loves they menthols…
Allen West should go back to using Chic-Fil-A as it is meant to be used: A place for him to take Sarah Palin on dates.
And here all along we thought it was the cow's that were the bad spellers.

Jesus-Lickin' Christ!
Is every goddam thing event in this goddam country now and forever gonna be linked to goddam Chick-Fil-A?
Screw West in his big fat ass – with Polynesian Sauce.
nothing beats battery acid ….
This.
Bipartisan reaching-across-the-aisle should never include anusburgers either.
Bartles & Jaymes libel!
West also invited field recording specialists from the Smithsonian to the meeting, to "record Democrat Plantation field hollers."
EDIT: I take it back, he is too stupid to come up with a good piece of trolling like that.
Subtle as a B-52 strike, Chet.
That, sir, would be some high-level trolling.
John Hammond and Alan Lomax approve this message!
I'd have tossed him out for forgetting the Colt 45 and the loose white wimmenz.
This guy again, again.
That reminds me: it's always Clayton Bigsby time!

I'm actually surprised nobody posted this one yet.
Did a shoot a gun next to anybody's head? If not, then I think we can all agree he's making real progress.
Popeye's was closed.
Kanye West says Allen West doesn't care about black people.
I'm really happy for u and i'mma let u finish but Allen West is the Worst Congressman of all time. OF ALL TIME.
Everybody knows black people prefer Popeye's.
(Or so I've heard.)
I learn so many things about what I do and like on this board!
So the subtle subtext to this story is that Allen West hates Chicken?
Just gay chickens.
And yet when he goes out to eat, Allen West screams at the server, "Motherfucker, I want more iced tea!"
Ahh, the soft bigotry of low-fat expectations.
West is actually a member of the black caucus?
He's a token member.
The other Republicans told him that he's 'one of them'. How could he still be a blah? Republicanism doesn't just work as brain bleach, y'know.
I think the only point to be made of this is that hes cheap.
WTF you need biscuits for if there wasn't any 'tater salad and baked beans? I'd have been pissed to.
Allen West is a fascist, and hates black people. This pretty much proves he's a liberal, right?
The question I am left with is: "Why did Allen West ever even join the Black Caucus?"
Trolling
The lulz.
A bunch of fast food for a "formal lunch?" Meh, it's just a bunch of blahs, it's not like they'd know the difference.
The Congressional Black Caucus should send West a dozen custom-made rainbow oreos — a little sugar might help his extremely bitter, catty disposition.
I like the way you think!
And a pocket mirror!
Meanwhile, in Houston you can order the Chick-on-Chick Filet from the Beaver's restaurant. http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2012/08/neve…
Heh heh, "Beaver's"
So, safe to say there is not an Oreo caucus?
Did he sing "Mammy", too?
He woulda hung around and knocked back a couple 40s with them but he had to go help OJ look for the real killers.
Sure he does, he knows it well enough to use it as a stick over the head with which to beat anyone who attempts to call him out for the disgusting bile that perpetually spews from his mouth.
It is funny in the sense that a former Army Lt. Colonel and a member of the House of Representatives would be so lacking in personal integrity or courage of conviction, that he would stoop to a stupid, sophomoric, chicken shit ambush stunt and then run and hide. Then again, he is a Republigoon so maybe it is to be expected.
No doubt it would have been liberally seasoned with West's special secret sauce, if he could just get it up, which you know he can't, because-Wingtard Impotence.
Et moi? I prefer Popeye's. It's the Cadillac of prepared, fast-food fowl.
The worst part is, he told the other Congressmen "I got y'all some Yard Bird for yo meetin" and asked why they weren't tap dancing. He then went on Fox Republican News Channel and said they were all the REAL racists in order to win the sweet, sweet love of Ann Coulter.
What's wrong with a tailgate with wine coolers?
Also: I hope Rep. West is enjoying is sole term in Congress.
True story: I got a flat tire right outside the Gold Club on Saturday night.
Please tell me you were at Thirsty Bear and not the Chevy's.
If I had a damp dollar for every time that I got a "flat tire" right outside the Gold Club…
Actually, I was at John Colins. The Gold Club bouncers were really sweet and helped me change my spare. [insert "jack" joke of your choice here.]
Chevy's? Pfft. What am I, a tourist from Iowa? A grad student? My own grandpa?
Haha! You can always tell the people who are going to the Chevy's because they have a convention id on with their name in Comic Sans 20 pt font and they don't know how to fucking walk down a crowded sidewalk when I need to hurry back to work from the Gold Club lunch buffet.
OK, hopefully it won't take me too long after I've moved out there to understand these SF references.
One of these things is not like the others …
