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.
“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. 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.”

Hastings, once again, proving he’s nothing more than a “Step and Fetchit” for the DemoKlan, hawking their racism, and religious division lies, to get his DemoKlan masters what they want, so they will give him his big house table scraps.
A despicable race-baiting ex-con speaks. The democrats are welcome to this sc*mbag.
I guess his opinion of his audience was they were animals to be hunted....not a nice man...
“as the room erupted in laughter and applause”
This is just as sick as what this clown said. How do people get this jaded?

There have been so many dumb things said against Palin by the rabid left, however this has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life. What, are Jews and blacks akin to animals?
How do morons like this keep getting elected?
sorry for the double reply.....
Sounds like the congregation listening to the Rev. Wright too. It ain't just the speaker with the problem.
Hate crime
Good for you Sarah, you really know how to flush ‘em out from under the rocks!
Ole Alcee was talking to the choir.
But why do Jews love Obama and vote liberal when the left is a haven for Jew haters?
Didnt they learn anything from Hitler?
“In 1989, after being acquitted in a criminal trial, Hastings was stripped of his position as a federal judge — impeached by the House in which he now serves and convicted by the Senate — for conspiring to extort a $150,000 bribe in a case before him, repeatedly lying about it under oath and manufacturing evidence at his trial.
Ordinarily, that might doom Hastings’s chances, but the situation is further inflamed by racial politics: Hastings is African American, and the Congressional Black Caucus has made it clear that it will not tolerate his rejection.”

This guy has been a disgrace for a very long time.
Mr. Hastings, you and people like you are the reason stereotypes have persisted all these years. May my black friends forgive me for the words that just crossed my lips.
In other words, Alcee Hastings apparently does not think much of Jews and blacks.
“If he will kill, cook, and eat a cow, what do you think he would do to a Jew? Just let him go to waste?” sounds like a “joke” out of 1930’s Germany, perhaps one uttered by its leader.
non sequitur of the century!
