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.”

/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!
