Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: Gingrich Is Using Racial ‘Code Words’
The Blaze ^ | 1/21/12 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 01/21/2012 11:12:58 AM PST by Baynative

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.”

Code words for what?

Oh; I know.....the politically-incorrect truth?

She is the prototype for the type of people/mentality that are elected from Black Districts.

She supports the Marxist radical elitist food stamp president. What else do we need to know?

Sheila is using code words too ~ one of them is “My name is....” That’s a code word for “I am stupid”.

I think Sheila Jackson Lee’s name is a code word — for a really stupid, racist, greedy, ineffectual Congresscritter.

If I were black and democrats claimed that: a foodstamp collecting, lazy, willfully unemployed, destined for prison, drug dealing, womanizing person who has yet to get an ID descibes an “African-American”... I’d be offended.

Code Words for instilling a work ethic and staying in school. Maybe Newt should say its available for poor white and latino kids only. Will that make the moonbat happy?

The words “Sheila Jackson Lee” are code for “I’m the stupidest human on the planet, next to Joe Biden.”

“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. “

Another race-baiter heard from. More whites than blacks are on food stamps thanks to this president and as far as the other red herring, she should read about Japanese schools. The kids clean up the classrooms and hallways and even lead lesson plans when teachers are not immediately in the classroom. It’s called instilling responsibility in the kids. Something we can’t talk about here in this country because of the ridiculous PC environment we live in.
