In response to Obama's claim that Republicans will use race to stoke fear, Lt. Col Allen West (pictured at left), candidate for Congress in Florida's 22 District issued this release:
“My advice to Senator Obama is to run as a Man and Leader, and the American people will evaluate you as such, not as a victim. This is a Presidential race, based solely on a capacity to lead the United States of America. It is not about skin tone...however; perhaps we should come to expect these immature statements.
It also seems rather humorous that the Presidential candidate who was supposed to be such a ‘uniter’ and transcend race is the one talking about it the most. If Senator Obama was confident in his abilities and character, he would not need to create a crutch for failure. Senator Obama has just tipped his hand, any criticism of him and his policies will be directly attributed to racism. I congratulate Senator Obama for taking race relations in America back some 30 years.”

I heard that Allen West will be giving a speech this Saturday addressing Obama and the use of "race" in politics.
The GO WEST campaign will be videotaping the speech and it should be released sometime next week.
