ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Florida Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings pointed to Sarah Palin on Wednesday to rally Jews to Obama.
"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.

Democrats, more of this please!!
heheheheheheheheh :-)
What a bunch of buffoons.
Who are the women haters now?
What a moron. I’d like to hear more of what he has to say.
Impeached Judge at home in the Democratic party.
All of us from time to time go a bit overboard in our characterizations of the left, but really, the quote by Hastings is indicative of a sickness. There hatred and viciousness is deeply ingrained and I wonder just how an entire group of people became this way and how they cannot see how awful it makes them look?
Hmmmm, when a convict is annoyed with you, you have done the right thing. I went to the link and, as usual, its nothing but ‘she said this, she said that’ and no attribution, Total bs.
What a judgmental, racist and moronic statement that is.
Yet another racist Democrat.
“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.”
Correcting this idiot:
“If Obama isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with McCain, then you damn well better pay attention,” Hastings should have said, “Anyone willing to talk without conditions to an Iranian leader whose desire it is to blow Israel off the map shows how little he really cares about Jews. So you just think this through.”
There now that makes more sense.
"..n 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives took up the case, and Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413-3. Voters to impeach included Democratic Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, John Conyers and Charles Rangel. He was then convicted in 1989 by the United States Senate, becoming the sixth federal judge in the history of the United States to be removed from office by the Senate..."
Of course he was later elected to Congress when he should not, as a matter of justice, even qualify after the above.
Even though the crowd hooted and hollered, it’s not what Alcee actually meant (eye roll)
Even putting aside his impeachment for bribery it’s clear that Hastings has neither the intellect nor temperment for the judiciary.
“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.”
You’re so ignorant you don’t know it’s called “skinning” eh?
I’m sure all the Jews are reassured regarding Barack Hussein Obama. It’s not like he’s shown signs of being soft on Islamofascism or anything important like that... LOL
McCain/Palin ‘08!
These people invited Hastings so they no doubt approve of his message.
What an idiot. Hope it can be posted on Youtube for all to see.
You think Hastings is horrible, don’t read the comments under the article! Lord have mercy! Maybe I lead a sheltered life, but I don’t know, have never known, people who talk/think like that. I need to go wash out my eyes. At least Hastings has the excuse of being an elected official /sarc.
