Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: Gingrich Is Using Racial ‘Code Words’
The Blaze ^ | January 21, 2012 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 01/22/2012 1:54:29 AM PST by Mozilla

Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee on Friday accused Newt Gingrich of using racial “code words” in calling President Barack Obama the “food stamp president” and saying schools ought to hire children to do janitorial work.

The Texas congresswoman’s comments came in response to a question about remarks she made on the House floor Wednesday, when she said there are “candidates like Newt Gingrich who want to throw fuel and matches and fire to develop sort of an explosiveness in this country” and there are “underlying suggestions” to calling Obama the “food stamp president.”

“These are code words. It’s inappropriate,” Jackson Lee told MSNBC’s Martin Bashir Friday. “Let me say that the code words, as far as I’m concerned words that generate and signify race.”

Her comments came just days after former President Jimmy Carter made a similar charge against Gingrich.

Harry Reid told school children that President Bush was Stupid.

I guess those DemocRats don't use code words when poisoning the minds of our youth.

Of course these are the same people that say President Obama is getting no respect.

It is true. If you run Gingrich’s debate speech through a racism decoder, it says “drink more Ovaltine.”

Sheila Jackson Lee should recognize racial coding when she sees it, she is an expert. I think she has used it every single day during her entire adult life. I guess it sucks to know that your race card just expired. FUSJL

And these are code words as well for idiot

During a 2005 visit to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, Lee asked a guide whether the Mars Pathfinder had taken a photograph of the flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee..... Her racism is out in the open. No codewords for her or Eric (my people) Holder. No codewords needed by Obama as he screws the men who want to build the Excel pipeline who would be 90% white with some Mexicans/Hispanics working on it too. Sorry but I there are not any or many blacks in the oil/energy industry.

This is why Newt is winning. He will win white voters big time including independents. When blacks scream racism, many times it is not a legitimate accusation. When white politicians kowtow to the black accusers, the rest of the whites are very pissed off at the false accusation and even more disappointed that a white politician will not stand up to false allegations. Result is anger and frustration until Newt shows up and responds BS!!! Obama’s people had used white racism too much. In a time of high unemployment whites are not in the mood for BS anymore!! Obama and the Dems keep this up they will lose big time in 2012.

When ever the left plays one of their cards such as racism, homophobia, sexism, etc., they always have to ‘decode’ statements as to the ‘true’ meaning.
Nonsense.

The left are the most polished bigots on the planet.

"When did you get back from Mars, Sheila? "

For those who forgot, Sheila said our astronauts planted a flag on Mars.
Moon, Mars hey they both start with a "M"

When Newt starts saying that the Amish have a poor work ethic, then he’ll be using racial code words.

Dog-whistle racism is invisible, unquantifiable racism detectable only by its evocation of opposition to socialism.

I define the n-word as someone so hung up on their race that they hate all other races (and become racist themselves, in so doing) and see conspiracies everywhere.

I understand. But, your vocabulary and wit is better than to be limited to the n-word.

How about “a pathetic waste of black skin and protoplasm”?

Here's a code for SJL: Too stupid to know she's stupid. If breathing and heartbeat required cognitive thought she'd have been dead a long time ago.

Is that uncoded enough, you worthless (fill in the blank, almost anything is too good for her)?
