The Florida executive director of CAIR recently sent a letter to Congressman Allen West (R-Kick-Ass) requesting that Mr. West disassociate himself from several individuals that CAIR considers to be “anti-islamic”. The Congressman promptly replied with a one word response; “NUTS”. This incident is delightful on several levels. First, it’s another reminder that Allen West is the real deal and there’s not a PC bone in his soldier’s body. Second, the reaction by the stupid press who (A) had no understanding of the one word reply and (B) would actually admit it in writing and on video. Even the people interviewed on the street were clueless as to the meaning of “NUTS”, which is arguably the most storied one word kiss-off in the history of kiss-offs. Now in all fairness, I’ve got to give the muzz a pass on their ignorance as I wouldn’t expect your run-of-the-mill mooselimb to have any knowledge of the Americans’ heroic stand at Bastogne during WWII.
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!”
