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 congresswomans 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. Its inappropriate, Jackson Lee told MSNBCs Martin Bashir Friday. Let me say that the code words, as far as Im concerned words that generate and signify race.

“I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.” Barack Obama, election night, 2008
(Unspoken:
But if you disagree with me, I’ll call you a racist.
If you say something that is not racist on its face, but that I disagree with, my minions and I will say you are using racist “code words.”)
Funny, I never heard Newt saying “gerrymandering”.
The words Sheila Jackson Lee are code for Im the stupidest human on the planet, next to Joe Biden.
Actually..the “Distinguished Gentleman from Georgia” who was concerned that Guam might “tip over” makes SJL look like an intellecual.
“...and the racists that live off its disgusting leverage in America”
I am offended that she thinks it was racist of me to set the bar for my child and tell him if he wanted “things” he would have to work for them while keeping good grades. It’s too bad that children of her race cannot expected to do the same. I was branded as a hater for mentioning to a coworker who was having difficulty paying for her child at college that her child might have to get a part time job to help out just as my son had done. She said her daughter was too busy running for homecoming queen. Now, that’s where some peoples values lie, yet they still play the race card.
That's because we are a country of racists.
This race hating has just got to stop! /MS
The racist Sheila’s off the meds again.
Congressional Black Caucus = Code words for “I hate whitey”.
Since when is speaking the unvarnished truth using ‘racial code words’? This disgusting, race-baiting toad needs to STFU!
Sheila Jackson Lee is the conductor on the Dumb Train with Maxine Waters at the train controls.Cynthia McKinney fell off the train when she thought the rear exit door was the door to the lavatory.
Unless they’re transparent, *every* person is a “person of color”.
God, I am sick of this whiny victim sh*t.
it cracks me up when this is used to pretend that minorities don't disproportionately benefit. it's like saying "93% of people with jobs in Iowa are white."
This woman is clearly a Racer.
Actually..the Distinguished Gentleman from Georgia who was concerned that Guam might tip over makes SJL look like an intellecual.
Hey Sheila here’s a code word for you........STFU.
“Gingrich Is Using Racial Code Words,”
Lol. I think her hairdo is pulled a little too tight.
Uh oh.
Were those racial code words too?
Representative Sheila Lee is a racist. Period.
It seems like the more racist a politician is, the more likely they are to accuse other politicians of racism.
