1. Why does she need her husband to "protect" her?
Do you think she's just a poor, weak little woman who needs a man to defend her honor? I think she can manage just fine by herself - and the best way is probably to just ignore Allen West, who is an idiot and a lunatic.

3. That's kind of sexist, wouldn't you say?
It presumes the wife is too frail and helpless to defend herself.

5. Against a physical attack?
It's not sexist to state the truth. 99% of woman are too frail and helpless to defend themselves against a male attacker.

6. West didn't threaten her physically.
He was just being a dick. I think the Congresswoman is quite capable of defending herself against insults without her husband's help.

7. I think that's what the OP was insinuating.
That if the argument ever turned physical, that DWS's husband should get involved.

9. I guess I missed the part of the OP that said anything about the argument turning physical
Oh, wait. That's because it didn't.

West is a blowhard and Debbie can take care of a blowhard without any trouble.

10. West's letter is most crude coarse letter by a Congress rep EVER. Read this.

Seriously he should be sanctioned:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0711/Allen_West_tirade_WassermanSchultz_viledespicablenot_a_Lady.html

From OP link:

Wasserman Schultz, in whose neighboring South Florida district West lives, provoked his tirade with remarks after he left the House floor today, in which she responded -- without naming him -- to the Tea Party freshman's support for "Cut, Cap, and Balance" legislation to raise the debt ceiling.

"The gentleman from Florida. who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries, unbelievable from a Member from South Florida," Wasserman Schultz said, saying the legislation "slashes Medicaid and critical investments essential to winning the future in favor of protecting tax breaks for Big Oil, millionaires, and companies who ship American jobs overseas."

Her criticism of the legislation -- more or less what most Democrats are saying today -- provoked a furious response. West copied members of House Republican and Democratic leadership on the email, as well as his chief-of-staff, Jonathan Blyth.

The full email:

From: Z112 West, Allen
Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 04:48 PM
To: Wasserman Schultz, Debbie
Cc: McCarthy, Kevin; Blyth, Jonathan; Pelosi, Nancy; Cantor, Eric
Subject: Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman-Schultz

Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!

I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach./b]

You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!

Steadfast and Loyal

11. Is her husband a former Navy Seal or something? West is a nut, but I'm pretty sure he could kill an
average man w/ his bare hands. Physical altercations w/ the insane isn't the way to go about things. How about shaming him publicly? Just a thought.
