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

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.

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)?

She’s right .. I heard Newt think, “She’s an angry, race-baiting black bitch”

It’s hard to believe that in Texas there is a place with enough idiots to keep electing this creature.

Paging Ms. Lee, your Race Card has been revoked. Over used, your race account is now overdrawn.

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

I have never had any respect for Obama. It’s because I have no respect for Marxists pr socialists, and especially community organizers.

That would be Sheila Jackson Lee, the representative from Mars? Why would we listen to the sound of all her two neurons firing?

Newt isn’t anti-black; he is anti-get-all-you-can-slackers. How the hell can anyone support or feel symphathy for anyone who refuseS to finish high school? If I were in charge, no HS diploma, no handout from the government. PERIOD!

And what’s wrong with her nose and hair. She looks like she’s been three rounds with a semi-trained monkey.
