Rep. Allen West (R-Crazytown): Romney's comments were "a little clumsy"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/18/mitt-romney-allen-west_n_1893600.html

West then added, that if he were making the remarks instead of Romney, he would have said that the 47% of Americans who didn't pay federal income taxes were "satanic Islamofacist Communists who engaged in drug addled orgies while drinking the blood of newborns."

I mean, Allen West says some crazy stuff, but it's not like the guy goes out and claims that 81 members of Congress are members of the Communist Party, or that people with "Co-Exist" bumper stickers want to destroy the country, or that he's the modern day Harriet Tubman, or that he has a higher security clearance than the President. I mean, he'd have to be really deranged to say truly crazy stuff like that.
