Florida Congressman: Palin 'Don't Care Too Much What They Do With Jews and Blacks'

ABC News ^ | 9/25/08 | Teddy Davis

"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," said Hastings. "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, who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, made his comments in Washington, D.C., while participating in a panel discussion sponsored by the National Jewish Democratic Council.

Asked what the congressman meant, Hastings spokesman David Goldenberg told ABC News that he was trying to argue that Palin is an "extremely conservative woman who is out of touch with mainstream America."

Words escape me. Palin Derangement Syndrome spreads to FL.

[OCCASparky]

Ah, an impeached judge telling us what’s “mainstream”. Now if someone had said this about the Barackstar!, the hue and cry would be deafening. Amazing that this will get zero play (okay, no it isn’t anymore).

[silverleaf]

Alcee Hastings is just plain deranged, not PDS

said Hastings. "Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks

What an ASS

Why stop with Jews & Blacks? What about drowning kittens & kicking dogs?

[Right Wing Assault]

What a lying scumball.

[Kackikat]

I think the word most descriptive is JACKAR$E!

[Piquaboy]

Another mental midget with his opinion.

[ConservativeLawyer]

That would be comments from impeached for corruption former Federal Judge turned congressman Alcee Hastings.

[GnL]

One of the few federal judges to ever be impeached. Says a lot about his constituency down there.

[Canedawg]

Hastings is an old fool, trying to appeal to other fools.

Anyone who equates hunting with racism is either post-lobotomy, brain dead from drug use or is just a plain old libtard.

[polymuser]

The Palins are anathema to neoliberals.

Upon exposure to anything Palin, a neoliberal will immediately writhe, hiss, speak in parseltongue and vomit. Their head may also rotate completely around.

[KarlInOhio]

Considering the last few days, I'm left scratching my head about the "Jews" part of that statement. Governor Palin seemed eager to give a speech supporting the Jewish groups who invited her to the anti-I'macrazynutjob rally in front of the UN. The left had to bring out their big guns of IRS investigations to get her disinvited.

Alcee Hastings

"A Representative since 1993 and a Democrat, Hastings was a lawyer and judge of the circuit court of Broward County, Florida and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (1979 to 1989). He was impeached and removed from office for corruption and perjury. He is only the sixth federal judge to be impeached and removed from office in American history.

[Right Cal Gal]

Alcee Hastings wouldn’t know “mainstream America” if it jumped up and bit him in his corrupted, lying, impeached @$$.

[WayneS]

Alcee Hastings... What an ignorant boob.

Oh! And a CRIMINAL too.

[popdonnelly]

Hastings’ idiot judgment is offensive in so many ways, one simply doesn’t know where to start.

The fact that Hastings has this pulpit to speak from in the first place merely shows how the Democrats are leaders in the decline of America.

[According2RecentPollsAirIsGood]

So he’s comparing Jews and blacks to animals worthy of being hunted and/or population thinned. Well, that is in tune with various prominent leftists for generations (a guy named Adolph comes to mind off the top of my head as well as some chick with the last name of Sanger), so he at least gets points for consistency.

[Bulldawg Fan]

Hastings is black, he can get away with talking like that.

[Gumdrop]

So, old Alcee thinks all hunters are akin to the KKK and the GeStaPo?

[VRWCmember]

A mind really is a terrible thing to waste.

[raptor29]

“Hastings is black, he can get away with talking like that.”

True, because our side has been conditioned to walk on eggshells whenever an issue involves a minority. And we keep falling for it.

[Kieri]

He’d better watch it — his own prejudices against rural Americans is showing. Next time he wants imput on the Department of Ag decisions he’d better be ready with an apology to the farm base.

Jerk.

[Niteranger68]

I would more likely take advice from a retarded monkey than this racist bastard.

[ANGGAPO]

Will someone tell me how we get morons like this in congress? Do people really vote for them, or is the fix in? No wonder the loan sharks and brokers could screw up the housing industry so bad and never get caught.

[RexBeach]

Well, when you’re an impeached federal judge; see yourself as a victim because it is politically expedient; and have rocks in your head, it ain’t easy being Mr. Hastings.

[ArmyTeach]

Total logical disconnect. Where’s he getting that? I know the lady - to see and greet, not personally. That’s not Sarah. This guy is a danger and and a disgrace to Congress.

[ridesthemiles]

Another mental midget with his opinion.”

Another one:
David Letterman...making what he thinks are cute comments about McCain going back to Washington.
I will NEVER watch anything involving Letterman again.

[pgkdan]

What a disgusting, corrupt, criminal jackass. I can’t believe this lying piece of scum actually sits in Congress.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

extremely conservative woman who is out of touch with mainstream America.”

[trisham]

Racism is running rampant in this election.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Another dumbass who will remain in Congress because of the specific constituency he represents.

[Snurple]

"Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.

LMAO....damn! Palin has shaken the dims so bad every fruit and nut in their party is having spasms!

[Sig Sauer P220]

I would more likely take advice from a retarded monkey than this racist bastard.

Can you say that? The thought police will be looking for you.

[Chances Are]

This always gets me - the fact that far lefties (are there any other kind nowadays?) consider themselves to be "mainstream America"!

This is rubbish and has to be shot down immediately with extreme prejudice.

I mean, what would Alcee Hastings know about mainstream America?

Let me expound on that...what would Alcee Hastings know about anything other than vice, graft, and corruption?

I know, I know....rhetorical question....

CA....

STOP! BROWARD County??? The county of the hanging chad? This ongoing soap opera is too well scripted to be a coincidence!

[Niteranger68]

Can you say that? The thought police will be looking for you.

Well, I have good and bad news for the thought police. The good news is that I'm easy to find. The bad news is that I'm hard to catch.

[truthandlife]

Desperation has gone to a new level.

[sportutegrl]

. . . don't care much what they do with Jews and Blacks.

Who is this 'they' that these Libs/Dems keep referring to? The 0bamas keep referring to a mysterious 'they' as in "They say he (0bama) has a funny name", or "They keep changing the rules." Who is this 'they'?

[Dionysius]

Blacks for the most part despise Jews and consistently side with the enemies of Israel. Yet, the Jews keep on kissing their arses. I can’t understand it. It’s got to be in the genes.

[Marauder]

"So, you just think this through."

As opposed to what this idiot did before letting his alligator mouth overload his lizard brain?

Folks, they're on the run and have never been so scared. I think they see another loss on the horizon and it's making them crazy ... well, crazier.

[Mogollon]

This from a judge? Maybe he should take freshman english again and brush up on his grammer.

[Post Toasties]

Alcee Hastings puts the ‘duh’ in Floriduh.

[Piquaboy]

I never watch that idjit anyway, but I hear what he says once in a while. What those Hollywood types say goes in one ear and out the other.

[kenmcg]

Hastings, the former disgraced impeached judge, should be in jail not representing the nitwits who elected him to Congress. This piece of human debris should keep bashing Sarah, as it only incites the base.

[TheBattman]

This congressman is the most blatant and disgusting form of racist. He does not deserve to hold elected office.

I am a hunter who “skins his own game”... does that make me against Jews and Blacks?

[TexasRepublic]

"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."

What an idiot. My first hunting buddy was black. He taught me all about hunting with Blue Tick hounds and skinning coons.

[Boiling Pots]

And considering Kendrick Meek is the other Dem from down here, there is nothing more to say...

[TaxachusettsMan]

"Anybody who . . . don't care"

I think the "Honorable" Hastings meant to use DOESN'T.

Somebody should AXE him if that's what he meant!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
