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.”

OMG i had to check to see if this was SCRAPPLEFACE!!!!!!
He did not just say that...he couldn’t...he wouldn’t...HOW DARE HE! MY JEWISH FRIENDS..WAKE UP..You are being used and abused....
Riiiight.
And Obambi just LOVES the Jews.
Please tell me this is satire.
Riiight, I can see how that would logically follow...
/s
OMG!
Wow!
Unbefreakinglievable.
ALcee Hastings should be investigated for his fraudulent deals!
Right, and where do these liberal city dwellers think their fish, beef, pork and poultry come from anyway.
Hunters respect life and nature more than some frap drinking greenie or some whining liberal.
Just imagine if the reverse was said. If this was a Republican saying this about a Democratic VP candidate.
The MSM would be doing cartwheels and would make banner headlines.
So Alcee Hastings basically just said that Jews and blacks are animals?
In 1979, Alcee Hastings was appointed a federal judge for the Southern District of Florida by President Jimmy Carter. Two years later, Hastings was indicted on charges of conspiring to solicit a bribe from two defendants awaiting sentencing in his court. Hastings was unanimously acquitted of the charges in 1983. The Judicial Council of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, however, soon launched a separate investigation into the matter which lasted nearly four years. Ultimately, the council (which was led by former Watergate prosecutor John Doar and comprised of the active appeals court judges for that circuit and three U.S. District judges) found that Hastings not only had solicited a bribe, but also repeatedly lied during his trial. Following this report, the House Judiciary Committee approved seventeen articles of impeachment against Hastings. Sixteen dealt with the bribery case, while one centered around Hastings’ improper revelation of sensitive government information obtained through a federal wiretap in 1985. In late 1988, the articles passed the House by a vote of 413-3. The Senate, following a trial by a twelve-member committee, chose to convict Hastings on eight of the articles, but opted not to restrict him from seeking federal elected office in the future (which it had the authority to do). In 1992, a federal judge remanded Hastings’ conviction back to the Senate, arguing that Hastings should have received a trial by the full Senate. The Supreme Court, however, had ruled in a similar case that the courts have no jurisdiction over impeachment proceedings, and Hastings’ conviction was therefore upheld. Later in 1992, Hastings was elected to Congress in Florida’s Twenty-Third Congressional District. In 2006, after being reelected for the seventh time, Hastings was considered to chair the House Intelligence Committee in the 110th Congress. Facing pressure as a result of Hastings’ troubled past, Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ultimately declined to give Hastings the job, choosing Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas) instead
Does Rep. Hastings think that these groups of people are just animals?
So, Alcee, your saying that blacks/Jews are wild animals? Shame on you for such a racist comment!
What a completely STUPID thing to say, but then, again what would you expect?? The only thing you can expect from a pig is a grunt.
Well, evidently some Jews, and Hastings himself, didn't mind being likened to lower life forms.
Step away from the crack pipe, Alcee - you’ve had enough.
Alcee Hastings is one sick bastard!
I'd say anyone who speaks third grade engrish needs a betta ed-jew-kashun.
Seriously, what does one "do" with Jews and blacks?
I saw it earlier, but was busy at the time and posted the info here (#19) hoping someone else would give it a thread of it's own.
I forgot about that, but yeah, you’re right.
That is...stunning....
Hastings has already been impeached when he was a judge so what does he do, he runs as a Democrat and gets elected to Congress, time and time again.
Just goes to show you. The Republics punish their own; Democrats keep electing them. Kennedy, Kennedy, Frank, Studds, Drinan, Harrington, Dellums, Conyers, Diggs, etc.
There is a difference, you know!
Hmmm... “do with Jews and Blacks”.
What does that mean?
I don’t “do with” anyone based on what minority group they belong to.
I expect everyone to live up to a certain behavioral standard which I apply to all the people I deal with regardless of what “group” they belong to.
This just p’s me off to no end when we’re supposed to “do with” people differently because they are “minorities”.
Well, statistics show that Alcee Hastings isn’t totally wrong. Blacks who tote guns don’t care much for other blacks based on their violent crimes rate.
The Nazi regime suggested that Jews be restricted in where they could hunt and Goering said he thought Moose should be included in the preserve “because they have a crooked nose like the Jew.”
So, I guess we know what Mr. Hastings is suggesting.
shame shame shame
Offer him $150,000 and he may change his tune.
Just stunning...How in the world do people this stupid get elected to public office ???
Thanks, God. This doofus did not get put in charge of intelligence oversight. And yes, Nan wanted him to take the job.
Hildy, give me a break.
Jews always have and will again this election vote overwhelmingly democrat.
Though the dems are much less supportive of Israel than the Pubbies.
Go figure? And if ya don’t believe me, just look at the history of elections.
Can you be impeached for aggravated stupidity?
One more example of exactly how out of touch these people are with the rest of the real world.
Ordinary race-baiting in the Obama camp - with the wonderful irony that it is they who complain loudest and longest about racism.
There is an arsensal of weapons in my house, one of which (the 30-06) is used to kill the moose which fill my freezer. The only reason I bring this up is because my family is Jewish.
If Mr. Hastings said something like that to my face, I can guarantee he’d be looking up at me from the ground. What a racist, bigoted idiot.
It is way too deep for my simple-self to understand.
bttt
Original CNN Story
Getting awful blatant out there. Saying stuff like that about a lady is likely to get a few bitter and clinging folks riled.
I don't either.. but impeached CongressCritters OTOH...
This idiot needs to be the poster child for the United Negro Collage Fund
What an insult to Swine everywhere, comparing them to this creature.
This Hastings turd used to be on Hannity and Colmes quite a bit... I haven’t seen said Hastings-turd spewing garbage on H&C for some time (maybe I missed him... which is a good thing me thinks).
Good one.
Alcee Hastings thinks all blacks and jews look like animals.
So moose = Jews and Blacks? The Arabs are wrong, Palin is right!
Why are you telling me this? What did I say that made you think I believe differently than you? I think you misread what I wrote or I didn’t make myself clear.
