Alcee Hastings: Anyone who hunts moose “don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks”
hotair.com ^ | September 24, 2008 | Allahpundit

From a man who’s no stranger to abject disgrace comes one of the purest examples of racial demagoguery we’ve seen from either side during this very long campaign, duly laughed at and applauded by the same group that worked so hard last week to get Palin disinvited from the anti-Iran rally. His party will love him for it, I assure you.

Rep. Alcee Hastings told an audience of Jewish Democrats Wednesday that they should be wary of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin because “anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.”

“If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention,” Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida said at a panel about the shared agenda of Jewish and African-American Democrats Wednesday. Hastings, who is African-American, was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race. “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through,” Hastings added as the room erupted in laughter and applause.

What a maroon.

I’d invite Rep. Hastings to go hunting this fall here in good ole’ Ioway. The good ole days of branding everyone into nice neat, little groups is gone. Nobody gives a shit about these firebrands anymore, and with clowns spouting off like this, in my more uncharitable moments it occurs to me maybe it would be best for the united States as we know it to collapse, so we can start over.

He don’t get it, unless maybe some stuff under the table? That’s just pure demagoguery, has no place in politics.

"How do morons like this keep getting elected?"

By the morons in the audience that were clapping and laughing. We can only speculate what would have happened if a white republican had made such a comment.

I would expect Hastings to hold blacks and Jews in higher regard than moose.

Only a head injury or end stage syphilis explains Hastings “thought” process.

This is just as sick as what this clown said. How do people get this jaded?

You have to understand that these people (Yes I said these people. If anyone doesn't like it bite me.) live with a level of death, violence, incarceration and brutality that would would put you in the nervous breakdown room of the local mental health facility. They laugh at our little nervous twitches. You got to toughen up or they'll gut you like a fish.

Alcee Hastings is a bag of dung. Carter appointed him, and Pelosi actually considered him to chair the Intelligence Committee (as a convicted felon!!!), until cooler heads prevailed and she stuck us w/Reyes.

The (unfortunately recently deceased) father of one of my best friends was the head of the federal task force that removed “Judge” Alcee Hastings from the federal bench in South Florida (for conspiring to solicit bribes in a union pension fund embezzlement case, surprise, surprise). He took a lot of pride in having run that scumbag out the door of the federal building.

Hastings was scum on the bench, he's scum in the Senate, he'll meet his maker as scum.

“What, are Jews and blacks akin to animals?”

Yeah. It sounds like a self-loathing black man saying he believes he’s on the same level as a moose.

What does AlCee Hastings say about a person who would leave an infant born of a botched abortion out to die? One could only imagine what this person would do with the old, and the infirm of any color.

No, he’s the judge who took a $150,000 bribe, lied about it under oath and was impeached by the US Congress, the very body he was later elected to serve by his fellow black racists.

This imp is all they got.

I would like to ask that audience about Obama’s special relationship with Farrakhan and Hamas. Figure it out people. If you think that Obama is a friend to Israel then Tony Resko has a plot of land to sell you on the south side of Chicago. Obama was breast fed by Farrakhan, Wright, Cone and Pfleger, plus his ally and campaign guru Robert Malley was fired for being too close to Hamas - are people nuts! These people hate Israel - get real.

If Obama gets in, Iran is laughing all the way to the nuclear button, with simultaneous attacks from Hamas into Israel. I hope Israel can survive his first term.

John Adams was right...

There are folks who should be denied the vote in a Republic that wishes to remain a Republic...
Grant fools and morons the vote, and fools and morons get elected.

Hastings epitomizes that in spades.
Pun intended, because one could get banned for using the correct term for Hastings and those like him.
