"i truly believe president barack obama does not comprehend american exceptionalism. he does not fathom that in america, the station of your birth does not determine the station of your outcome. america is not about class or caste, it is about rewarding work and ideas." hmm. well, there's a tough sell he's got on his hands there. i think president obama himself is the clearest example of west's definition of american exceptionalism, isn't he, when you think about it? look where he is. and now for the big number. it might come as no surprise in this fall's gop debate since rick perry, who was dealt the most verbal punches by the other candidates. that's right, he played the role of piÑata more often than all the other candidates combi

tim scott from south carolina, allen west from florida. we have a lot more work to do as republicans but we're going to keep doing that. >> talking about chris christie, mark, i'm wondering if, you know, what we just heard is true, you know. i thought john mccain, it's a little different when you actually dive into the pool. is it easy to be in love with a candidate and then they get into the ra ice? >> absolutely. remember fred thompson. >> rudy giuliani. >> there's a list of people who look great. the difference with chris christie is the pool is bad so i think that his competition is thin, no pun intended, but i think chris christie has the conservative bon ffides. he's likable, he's personable, he does well in debates. i think he could win despite his weight although it will be an issue. >> is it too late? what's the disadvantage. let's say he gets in at the end of the week. what disadvantage is he at already? are all the good people already taken? are the money people already committed? >> it's organization, organization on the ground

republicans, one a senator, the other eight serve in the house including florida republican congressman allen west who joins us live from los angeles. good to see you. you did serve in iraq. you think the president's making a bad call here tonight, why? >> well, i think that you have to be very circumspect about a near-term decision, hopefully this is not a campaign or in chief decision, not a commander in chief decision. one of the things that i go back to and remember serving in operation desert shield, desert storm. when we did not complete the operation in which we could have had the resounding tactical success and victory we knew at some point we'd have to return back to iraq. you have to be concerned about the influence that iran will continue to try to spread, across iraq into, syria and lebanon, where they have hezbollah, but also will they have some type of influence with egypt and into gaza also. we have to look at this long term and not be celebratory in the short term. >> as someone who wore the uniform, the president was unable to negotiate with the iraqi government a status of force

. >> this is what congressman allen west of florida, a tea partier had to say about the 99% movement. jr. would not have backed these protesters. first he had a focus, a message. he was a divinely inspired. i don't know what the inspiration is for these individuals. >> what is your response to that? >> no, no, brother west is wrong as he can be. that martin luther king jr., not only was fundamentally committed to movement, organizing, mobilizing, but he was committed to civil disobedience. it was very clear when he saw the status quo, was characterized by paralysis, a certain kind of decay and ea certain kind of rot. he said that we must renew it. we renew it by what? bearing witness. take for example what you were talking about in regard to gadhafi. assassination, murder, execution, killing. is that the way to conduct foreign policy? why did abe lincoln say let us not execute jefferson davis. he had a wisdom there. is at this time case that u.s. allies, be they tyrants like chile or tirns like mubarak in egypt? should they be executed? should they be murdered? no. there should be ano

allen west yesterday said you had to bring it to the floor. rob portman from ohio, senator you know well supported this legislation. why are you not supportive? why is it not dangerous and are you going to reassess your assessment of that if it passes the senate? >> well, there has been concerned for my part and frankly from a lot of quarters here in america about how the chinese have manipulated the courtesy. there has been every effort that you can imagine out of our treasury department over the last seven or eight years, addressing mess with the chinese. there has been a significant improvement in the valuation of china's current fee as a result of those conversations. before the congress of the united states to pass legislation, to force the chinese to do what is arguably very difficult to do i think is wrong. it's dangerous. you could start a trade war and a trade were given the economic uncertainty here and all around the world is at issue is very dangerous and we should not be engaged in this. and i frantically over my position is. i fr

allen west is a fourth black vote. african-americans vote on mass for the liberal party.the '60s and republicans became the party of the deep south, african-americans said, we don't want to be with that party. we're going with the other direction. >> how do you go about changing that? >> right. i think that joy-ann would. >> i'm just saying, how about you? >> i tell you what it really is, it's listening to the joy-anns of the world particularly over the last 50 years. our party has failed to fundamentally speak to those core issues that concern the black community. we are a party that founded and created affirmative action and yet we stand in opposition to it. we are a party that talks about empowerment and creates those avenues to well creation and it's perceived within the black community that we take steps to minimize that for african-americans. i think it's important that we begin to get in the face, if you will, of the community. and take the push back that we rightly should get about having walked away from the black community in the 1960s. >> joy-ann, does the over

florida congressman allen west was elected in a tea party wave of 2010. federal money as well, right, to help his districts? >> he's been in office about ten months now. he's written at least four letters seeking funding of varying quantities for different pet projects. pedestrian walkways, solar energy funding and grants from the department of energy to benefit his constituents. his office says that he is not for the stimulus or pork barrel spending, but he's for local projects that benefit his district. >> what has his defense been? >> his defense has very much been we can't afford these massive projects like the stimulus. but i'm going to take each spending measure individually and judge it and weigh how much it affects my constituents. the theme in this thesis, it's pork spending if it's in someone else's district, but not in my district. >> let's bring 2012 into this now. ricker perry is trying to be the conservative figure in the presidential race. he also was okay with accepting $2 billion in fstimulus. >> absolutely. he's one of several president

tim scott, south carolina, you've got allen west, you certainly had j.c.atts years ago, republicans will vote for an african-american who agree with them on policy, if they're ideological, but will they do it for president? >> oh, i think they will. i think they will. i think that dynamic -- it's going to be tested. obviously, it's going to be tested. but i think herman cain has put the seeds in place. now he's got to germinate it by putting the organization together. >> let's see if he can do it. where does cain's support come from? according to the nbc/"wall street journal" poll, fascinating numbers, he has more support from people who say they're highly interested in the campaign, in other words, intense conservatives. people over 55. that's interesting. men! this is a conservative profile. people with college degrees, tea party supporters, people who identify themselves as very conservative. let me go to howard here. romney supporters on the other end tend to be liberals. they consider themselves to be less interested, women -- not less interested in w

it's rude because allen west is no harriet tubman. he's not enslaved. subjected in the ways that slaves were. it's important to say this is not that. when you look at the images of lynching, i want you to remember that you can almost always see the faces of the lynchers. you can see the faces because people who were in the public lynching did not need or care to turn their face away from the cameras. they were not ashamed. there is a moment of progress that occurs even when a lynching still occurs, but people turn their face away from the camera. it doesn't mean lynching didn't occur, but shame over racism is a kind of progress worthy of marking. freedom is not slavery. the current industrial, prison industrial complex is horrible and not jim crow. it is something different and worthy of new theories, but all of that still requires us to know the his cor call moments from which we emerged. when it's call thed new jim you, it's to point to a particular way of engaging with the state, and the state subjecting of black bodies. not because it is jim you, bu
