From a man who’s no stranger to abject disgrace comes one of the purest examples of racial demagoguery we’ve seen from either side during this very long campaign, duly laughed at and applauded by the same group that worked so hard last week to get Palin disinvited from the anti-Iran rally. His party will love him for it, I assure you.

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.”

“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,” Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida said at a panel about the shared agenda of Jewish and African-American Democrats Wednesday. Hastings, who is African-American, was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race. “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 added as the room erupted in laughter and applause.

The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) was the sponsor of this event.

JNDC is as credible a voice for the American Jewish Community as CAIR is a credible voice for the American Muslim community. Arrg.

“anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.”

Wait a minute Alcee. Are you saying that YOU put Moose above Jews and Blacks? You need to get your thinking straight.

I'm terrified that all those Republican racists will take over the country some more. ;') Thanks justiceseeker93.

That has to be one of the dumbest comments, he must be a friend of Cher...

Biden could join their group too!

There are no monolithic “Jews”.

Some vote Republican. And this year that number is supposed to set a record.

Thanks for the ping!

Let’s think this through. Who is “they” and what are “they” doing with Jews and Blacks? What affinity would moose huntresses have with this “they”? What is it about moose hunting that makes people indifferent to the actions of this “they” vis a vis Jews and Blacks? Obama, I believe Alcee is using fear tactics! Throw him under a bus! Oh, never mind. He’s just being incoherent.

Hastings: How much more racist could one truly be than he?
