it s a different standard depending on the color of your skin. second, the senior, cartoon or not are woman beating that. is what is implied. he s harming women and punching them. third, i ll take you back to remember the bullet targets from sarah palin in the national outrage, even international outrage. totally different standard. now we want to reach out and say, oh, this is acceptable. it s not. it is totally unacceptable. his opponent needs to lose. we ultimately could beat him at the ballot box. i think it s very hard to inject moral standards into political things. those two things don t belong together. particularly about allen west who proved himself to be one of the most outrageous politician. steve: i get you don t like him. allen west, good-bye. steve: thank you. great debate today. by the way, the congressman is going to be coming up at 8:15 eastern time. bernard, you ll want to set your tivo. straight ahead on this friday, this is a real plane crash.
steve: morning, folks. today, friday, august 10, i m steve doocy. and they just served breakfast here. a new attack ad throwing political punches literally. watch. voting to end medicare as we know it. he s whacked women with his votes for huge cuts in women s health care funding. steve: showing a republican congressman punching an elderly white woman? what if this was the other way around? that congressman, colonel allen west, reporting for duty shortly. brian: is the department of homeland security run like a sorority? this morning a bombshell lawsuit against janet napolitano. steve: is there hazing? brian: i m not sure. dara: i m dara torres in for gretchen carlson.
plus steve: john mccain released two years. he was a well-known public figure. romney is not. his wife isn t running for president. we don t know who romney is. his economic plan does not add up. if you are a multi-millionaire and want a tax cut, then vote for romney. but the middle class taxes are going to end up going up under his plan and adding $5 trillion to the deficit. steve: back to taxes. all right. now that we got things going. good first segment. these guys and gal are going to stick around because check out this ad showing congressman allen west punching an old white woman. vote to go end medicare as we know it. he s whacked women with his votes for huge cuts in women s health care funding. steve: what if that ad were the other way around? our panel sticking around to discuss that. then, check it out.
when he walked on a wire between two atlantic city casinos yesterday. apparently he took off one of his shoes cause he was worried there was too much sand getting caught in the grease on that wire. steve, over to you. steve: thank you. talk about hitting below the belt, a new political ad down in florida takes a jab at congressman allen west. take a look. allen west fancies himself a fighter. maybe so. west hits seniors. voting to end medicare as we know it. he s whacked women with his votes for huge cuts in women s health care funding and mauled middle class families by support ago budget plan that would have supported taxes on the rich. allen west is a fighter all right. but it s time for us to fight back and knock him out of congress once and for all. steve: okay. congressman west is going to join us next hour, says the ad is represencible. we re back with our political panel for reaction. jackie, so there is allen west
one of the things about this particular pac ad is apparently it is the pac that s being funded by allen west s opponent s father. that s true. and steve, you re right. negative ads do work when they have elements of truth in it like that ad does. allen west has been a complete disaster and he has socked seniors and he has socked kids. the ad is a cartoon, but i find it very hard to feel sorry for self-described part cuss allen west who says things like nazi leader joseph goebel would be proud of the democrat party. he told some they were communists and should get the hell out of the united states. he has been outrageous and over the top in his statements. so fair is fair. steve: anthony, he describes it as a cartoon. there you ve got allen west punching an old white lady. if it were a white politician punching a one, reverse racism because
