Florida Congressman: Palin ‘Don’t Care Too Much What They Do With Jews and Blacks’
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.
Asked what the congressman meant, Hastings spokesman David Goldenberg told ABC News that he was trying to argue that Palin is an "extremely conservative woman who is out of touch with mainstream America."
After saying that Palin "don’t care too much" about Jews and blacks, Hastings argued that African Americans and Jews should come together behind Obama because there are many issues on which they agree.
"Just like Jews, blacks care about affordable health care, energy independence, and the separation of church and state," said Hastings. "And just like blacks, Jews care about equal pay for equal work, investment in alternative energy, and a woman’s right to choose."
Asked about the Hastings criticism, Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella said, "We’re taking a pass."
The Florida GOP responded to Wednesday’s panel discussion by calling on Obama to repudiate Hastings.
"Unless Senator Obama and the Florida Democrat Party believes that ‘anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks,’ both Obama and the FDP should immediately refute this ridiculous and divisive statement."
When contacted by ABC News on Thursday afternoon, the Obama campaign had no response to the Florida GOP.

If just PROVES that McCain can’t handle the job. Has anyone told him that he may need to juggle more than one thing at a time as president? What a loser.

Where in Palin’s records show that she cares about Jews and AA? In fact, she had shown they are out of her range of view. Obama is inclusive abd McCain-Palin is about divide and conquer: only Republicans are patriotic, knowing “family values” (meaning having an unwedded pregnant teen)!

Sound like you are saying Jews and Blacks are just animals to be killed without anyony caring. Maybe you thing Jews don’t hunt. My friends and I do. So far, Palin has been supported of us and I have not seen anything in her record not supporting Blacks as well.

This Obama fellow sure is doing a bangup job of bringing America together. The warm glow of postracial America is emanating from all his supporters. You can see it in Hasting’s remarks, seeking to alienate Jews and Blacks from the nearly half of Americans who support Palin, and the numerous comments on this thread showing total disrespect for anyone not toeing the Obama line.

Posted by: Sue | September 25, 2008, 2:08 am 2:08 am
As a Jew, I find this so offensive on so many levels. First of all, I hunt, and many Jews I know do as well. Second, Palin is much more a friend of Jews than the anti-Semitic Obama and his hateful church that is anti-Jews and anti-Israel and anti-Whites.
Sarah Palin had an Israeli flag hanging in her office. She actually supports Israel, unlike Obama, who obviously is a Palestinian sympathizer before anything else.
Posted by: Bob | September 25, 2008, 2:25 am 2:25 am
Yes. Sarah Palin hunts Jews and blacks when moose aren’t around.
Or is it meese?
Notice lots of playing the race card these days? Dems are getting desperate. And they should be, because they have the worst candidate in the history of this country.
Posted by: Marissa | September 25, 2008, 2:31 am 2:31 am
Gerald’s comments show he didn’t understand what Alcee Hastings was saying. Hastings wasn’t referring to killing Jews or African Americans, but to the fact Palin is Alaska’s version of a redneck.
No, there’s nothing wrong with a little hunting, I go out myself on occasion(for food only, as hunting just to grab a pair of antlers a.k.a Palin & her father [a reporter found hundreds of rotting carcasses or moose, elk and caribou lying outside Daddy's house - stripped of antlers]is morally irresponsible).
Palin DOES have something against Jews and Af.Am. – don’t be fooled. She is a WASP – and if you think differently, look at her voting record.
She has voted 100% of the time AGAINST programs to help these groups. Ex: She voted down sex-ed programs in the schools because she felt if parents of [poor] children did their job their kids wouldn’t get pregnant. The joke, of course,is on her: her daughter obviously wasn’t paying attention when Mommy gave her lecture of “Just say ‘no’”.
Palin’s voted 100% of the time AGAINST women’s issues (she agrees with McCain that women DON’T deserve equal pay for equal work because women are ‘not as educated’).
Palin evidently feels the ACLU should be abolished as ‘anti-American’ despite the fact the ACLU is probably THE most Pro-American group ever formed. It exists soley to protect the Constitution of the United States.
Prior to her being chosen Palin openly stated her distrust of groups like the ACLU because of the type of people who run such groups.
Palin states she will not only continue Bush’s polices that have decimated the Constitution, she has a few more ideas of her own…not yet for the public; only intimated.
If you want to know WHY McCain’s advisors have her locked in a ‘virgin’s basket’to keep the press away, one of the biggest reasons is they know if the public ever finds out about this woman’s real UCC views (ultra CHRISTIAN conservative) their advantage in choosing her will evaporate like water on a car hood on a hot, sunny day.
So, to put it mildly, the worst thing that could happen to America is for an old man with early Alzheimer’s and a rabid conservative with an agenda to turn back the clock to ‘the good old days of the 1930′s’ to be elected to office.
[or is it the other way? After all, Palin obviously knows she’ll be the President very quickly after election. JM has a history of cancer & his worsening memory loss and bursts of anger point to a short shrift for her running mate)

When Hastings was a judge in Miami the FBI was investigating corruption and Hastings was giving FBI information to the crooks.
Even with this, Black democrats elected him to high office. I noticed that abt. 97% of blacks will vote for Obama.

It seems like there are people in this country who believe that the ACLU is one of the greatest entities in the world. It is the ACLU that protects people like Hastings whenever he spews hate speech but if someone on the right says something against them they are first in line trying to shut them up. If a white person would have said the same thing that Hasting did it would be splashed on every front page of every paper throughout the country.

“Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.” This statement is absurd and offensive. Being a hunter and being a racist have nothing to do with one another… they are two completely separate issues. That is of course you are hunting “blacks and Jews” other than that hunting does not make you a racist!!
“The earth and all that it had were meant to serve the needs of man.” Man has been hunting since the beginning, for survival. Today it is a little less about survival and more about enjoying God’s bounty that he has provided for us. Please… look at the sites below to understand what the Bible itself says about hunting and killing of animals.

Latest on the Berg Lawsuit yesterday Obama was to appear in court. This is posted on the official Berg website.
http://obamacrimes.com/
For Immediate Release: – 09/24/08
OBAMA & DNC HIDE BEHIND LEGAL ISSUES WHILE BETRAYING PUBLIC IN NOT PRODUCING A CERTIFIED COPY OF OBAMA’S “VAULT” BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
Country is Headed to a Constitutional Crisis
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 09/24/08) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and Democratic National Committee [DNC] filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss on the last day to file a response, for the obvious purpose of delaying Court action in the case of Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Their joint motion indicates a concerted effort to avoid the truth by delaying the judicial process, although legal, by not resolving the issue presented: that is, whether Barack Obama was “natural born.”
It is obvious that Obama was born in Kenya and does not meet the “qualifications” to be President of the United States pursuant to our United States Constitution. Obama cannot produce a certified copy of his “Vault” [original long version] Birth Certificate from Hawaii because it does not exist.

Hastings doesn’t speak for anyone but himself. His exaggerated point is that Palin has not had a chance to show minorities that she can understand their issues. How could she?
So far as hunting is concerned? Some folks don’t like people who hunt animals for sport, but can empathize with those hunters who are hunting for food. Let’s get real, though, the cost of getting to places to hunt in Alaska by plane or helicopter is far greater than the value of the meat or fish caught.
Palin lives in a culture where hunting is quite acceptable, and is not even questioned. That is the provincial problem she faces. If you grow up in an African village, your world-view is limited. If you grow up in Alaska, your world-view is, equivalently, limited.

Alcee Hastings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alcee Hastings
A Representative since 1993 and a Democrat, Hastings was a lawyer and judge of the circuit court of Broward County, Florida and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (1979 to 1989). He was impeached and removed from office for corruption and perjury. He is only the sixth federal judge to be impeached and removed from office in American history.

What logic!!! This guy has no basis other than his own bias to make this statement about Palin. She is married to a native american hardly a racist, she has an Israeli flag in her office in Alaska and is a great friend of Jews by their own words up in Alaska, quite the contrary of the ill informed and bias representative. Being conservative does not mean one can not have concern for others and those of color or religious minority. It may mean they prefer to help them up rather than want to keep people on Uncle Sams Plantation

What a HYPOCRITE!!! Alcee Hastings is sterotyping a wonderful lady. “She shoots guns!” “She butchers and eats her own wild game!” “Oh, my! She must be a racist!!” Is this the best you can do? Ha! What a loser. Anyone who buys into that line of logic is floating adrift in an artificial reality.
As for me.. Mmmm, I love the smell of gunsmoke on a woman! And she butchers and humps it out of the woods herself? Wow! That is the type of self-reliance and toughness Americans need as a role model to follow!

Barack Hussein Obama is a closet muslim who’s Harvard education was paid for by Khalid Al-Mansour, a black muslim and a black nationalist with ties to Saudi prince Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
The fact that Obama is a closet muslim is up for debate, but the fact is Obama’s student loans were paid off by Khalid Al-Mansour. And he recently said some anti-semitic statements against Israel.

Race politics is always in there game plan.

And Obama’s left of all these nitwits, scary….
Posted by: run26mi | September 25, 2008, 9:30 am 9:30 am
Lets try a different angle here shall we?
Hastings makes the claim “ANYONE toting guns”
By that logic Congressman Hastings just impugned the entire American Military and all the national Law Enforcement Agencies.
And the Democrats wonder why they keep reinforcing the fact that they hate the military and are weak on defense and security…
By that logic Hastins just impugned all law abiding hunters and has confirmed the rumor that Obama and his people are set to ban all guns instead of going after criminals.
Next, “ANYONE who can skin a moose is to be feared and hated” – is the translation from Hastings.
Why is that a reason for fearing someone? Do you fear a trauma surgeon? A worker in a meat processing plant?
What the American people would like to know is what would make a Democrat fearful about skinning and preparing any animal for consumption?
Or is the real truth that they are simply a bunch of limp wristed wussies on the Left. Democrats like Hastings and Obama are happy to buy their food prepared by others but can’t take care of themselves if it ever came right down to it.
See, the real truth is that it is about dependence on others and government vs the independent spirit and being able to fend for yourself if need be. I think that the Obama crowd and his surrogates like Hastings know that they are incapable of coping in life without government to take care of them.
Posted by: Get to The Truth | September 25, 2008, 9:30 am 9:30 am
Palin supports Israel because she, as an evangelical, believes Israel and the Jews play an essential role in bringining about the Rapture for CHRISTIAN BORN AGAINS. Evangelicals do NOT love Jews — they are using them, according to Bible lore, to get what THEY want. And, as a final insult to Jews, Evangelicals believe all Jews will go the HELL if they do not “come to Christ” in those final few days…. Honestly, they might as well believe in Xenu and Scientology! Anyone who does not know this widely publicised scenario is too dumb to vote for city dog catcher, much less President.

Why is that idiot in office? People need to start standing up & running for the positions that idiots like this currently hold. They don’t deserve it. You or I can do a better job. And our tax dollars would be better off creating some type of regulatory commitee (non-partisian) to oversee and bring to teh attention of voters behaviors such as this. If we want to change government, we need to do it now. Throw idiots like this out. One of the main problems is that many know thatduring tight races, that they can say.do whatever as long as it is with party alliance. I say No. And you should to. With today’s internet it is as simple as sending an email to register a complaint. (And no, not with this guys office, thats like the fox garding the henhouse). Who wants to run for this guys job? Search the internet and find out where you need to go and file the paperwork. And then run his own words as your initial campaigne. Good Luck.

In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).
In 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. The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed, providing five votes more than the two-thirds of those present that were needed to convict. The first article accused the judge of conspiracy. Conviction on any single article was enough to remove the judge from office. The Senate vote cut across party lines, with Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont voting to convict his fellow party member, and Arlen Specter voting to acquit.[1]
The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again, but did not do so. Alleged co-conspirator, attorney William Borders went to jail again for refusing to testify in the impeachment proceedings, but was later given a full pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.[2]

Mr. Hastings is certainly some one we should take advice from. In 1989, Hastings was stripped of his position as a federal judge — impeached by the House in which he now serves and convicted by the Senate — for conspiring to extort a $150,000 bribe in a case before him, repeatedly lying about it under oath and manufacturing evidence at his trial.

Palin should issue a public invitation to congressman Hastings:
“If congressman Hastings feels he is man enough, I would be happy to have Congressman Hastings as my personal guest and will personally teach him some survival skills, use of firearms and how to kill and prepare game for consumption.”
In other words, he will end up looking like the world’s biggest wuss when he refuses the invitation. A woman can outperform him on all fronts. What a man. What a representative of his party and people.

Had this been a Republican, the Headlines would be all over the World. When can the American People expect to get back the honest Press that we are suppose to have in this Country. Lets have all Reporters, Pundits, Commentators place a card on their foreheads as to who they support, therefore, we can know how they report the News. MSNBC is an extension of the DNC an there can be no disbuting that fact. My guess this will help the McCain/Palin ticket. Are these folks trying to lose this election???

For a Congressman, if he is going to blast someone he should at least do it in proper English not ghetto talk.
And what the heck has he done for Jews or blacks for that matter?!?!?
Answer: Keeps blacks poor while he rolls in “contributions” and perks while saying he will correct “injustice”. And what he has done for Jews is another guessing game. Probably says just vote for me because I have a D after my name and all the sheeple follow.

The comment by Hastings should be no surprise to anyone. This is how black left wing radicals think and operate. Their goal is to eliminate competition by demonizing them in terms of race and identity with absolutelt no foundation for the comment. And since when does hunting and skinning a moose for food or sport translate into racism? The race-baiters are alive and well, and it ain’t the republicans.

If Palin said something about inner city ghetto folks “being out of touch with middle america” she would be CRUCIFIED by the media, NAACP, ACLU, and all the other radical groups.

Hey Marissa,
As far as Palin and McCain again equal pay, check the facts. They voted against a complicated issue of extending the time to file a lawsuit for equal pay. It’s already at (I believe) 30 days. If it takes you more than 30 days to figure out you’ve been fired because your a female, extending it to 180 isn’t going to change that.
And I didn’t realize being a “red neck” means you’re a black and Jew hater.
As a Jew, I got my truck and gun, a great education and a job, and I don’t have a problem with her doing the same.
She hangs the Israli flag in her Alaska office long before she was a VP contender.
Be liberal, but don’t accuse me of insensative. And if you want socialism, I won’t stop you from moving to EU or Russia. My [Jewish] ancestors came here to get away from that. And live the American dream – to make their fortunes.

Consider the source.
Alcee Hastings.
Enough said.
Our country has become a zoo. No wonder our financial crisis is so
messed up. Issues are not discussed. There is no such thing as
a civil discourse anymore. Everyone has to call each other names and blame.
No one ever presents a record or history to consider. We are just to be moved by the latest name calling insult. Sad.
Please don’t vote on what you hear, please vote on a record. That is what matters. People on either side will tell you ANYTHING – true or not. We have lost our moral compass.

How does a person like this get to be a congresssman? What an idiot. I guess he considers mainstream america as gang bangers and crack heads. In that case, Gov Palin IS out of touch.

Palin is a racist. Everything the hard core conservatives believe in. Truth hurts doesn’t it repugs?
Anybody who STILL supports McShame is shameful themselves.
Obama is the ONLY choice in this election. Or you can vote for a clown and his circus dog.
Obama/Biden ’till 2024.

This guy is an idiot. Obamy is the leader of his group and should condem these comments. This clown is no better than Jackson, Sharpton, Fara-con, the right rev. wright and Charlie the taxpayer wrangle. I bet he has tons of money in his freezer also. Ever notice how these dems get away with everything and that when a republican is caught in the middle of something they at least step down.

Reading all these comments is very interesting. I see a few things here:
1) Very few Dems will even dare to pipe in here to defend this crap.
2) Folks are getting sick and tired of the reverse racism of the Dem party.
3) Obama is toast (not intended as a racist remark). :)

Alcee Hastings is a liar, thief and race baiter so I am sure the Democratic Party holds him in High Esteem, the Highest!
Powerful people such as Alcee Hastings, Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger are why No, we can not all get along, no it can not get better.
Caught between the Black Nationalist and the White Guilt Cult all I can say it that there is no sense in even trying. Congressman Hastings is but the canary in the coal mine.
The FIRST right is the right to survive; thanks for the warning Congressman Hastings

In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).
In 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. The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed, providing five votes more than the two-thirds of those present that were needed to convict. The first article accused the judge of conspiracy. Conviction on any single article was enough to remove the judge from office. The Senate vote cut across party lines, with Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont voting to convict his fellow party member, and Arlen Specter voting to acquit.
The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again, but did not do so. Alleged co-conspirator, attorney William Borders went to jail again for refusing to testify in the impeachment proceedings, but was later given a full pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.
Enough said. I’m gonna go shoot me somethin’

Please, MORE! MORE! MORE!
This story is now on Drudge, so the whole nation is reading about this kind of racist garbage being spewed by these ultra-liberal black congressman who have been given a free pass by the media for years.
NOW they are being revealed for the race-baiting, hatred-spewing bigots they are!
GONE are the days when whites playing the race card are bigots, but blacks doing the exact same thing are considered “strong in their beliefs.”
Racism is RACISM! Hatred is HATRED, regardless of who is saying it!
NO MORE FREE PASSES FOR RACISTS!

10 questions for Rep. Hastings:
1. What’s it like to hate people who have never sinned against you?
2. Is being a congressman hard?
3. What’s it like never to have hunted?
4. Do you find it euphoric to blame all of your faults on whites?
5. What do you say about Hispanics in private?
6. Is chugging a Colt 45 hard?
7. What’s it like to use Jews for your political goals?
8. Is being only one of 6 federal judges impeached cool?
9. Where can I learn eubonics?
10. Are you jealous that the hispanic immigrants are reaching a level of success and assimmilation unmatched to blacks ever?

On one hand you have a racist quote from Palin that CANNOT be verified, typically from an anonymous source; on the other hand your have a direct racist quote from an impeached judge. But Palin is the bad guy? Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to believe she would say something like that in public? Don’t you have enough brains to recognize rumor mongering?

Some people here are really ignorant. Hastings isn’t speaking for Obama or his campaign, first of all.
Secondly, you can find dolts like this on each side of the isle, this isn’t a democratic attribute.
Hastings should be chastized and held to account for the remarks, they’re clearly WAY out of line. But some of the hate here is really unwarranted.

Do not generalize Jews, we are as diverse as every other group. This kind of mentality only furthers racism. So thanks, but no thanks Congressman Hastings, this Jew will be voting McCain. I know many jews who do hunt and shoot. My g-d does he actually think Jews will fall for that line of BS.
Posted by: RobFau | September 25, 2008, 9:50 am 9:50 am
I guess you would call me a racist because I vote conservative, no matter the race.
I am 1/4 Japanese, 1/2 Anglo, 1/4 Indian and I will vote for a conservative of any race. Should I hold my breath until I get a candidate that I can “identify with”???
I would ask the nearly 100% of blacks (counting the margin of error)who are voting for Obama if they are voting based on race or ideology?
I will not vote for Obama to prove that I am not a racist. I vote for or against anyone because of their qualifications, leadership, experience and beliefs and not because of their race.
Ask yourself, why are you voting for Obama. If race is an answer at any level, you need to re-evaluate your decision.

This is one of those things one may think but should never say. As an AA Obama supporter, it’s beyond embarrassing when public officials say these things. You would think they can forsee the damage such statements would cause before uttering these things but, frighteningly and frustratingly, they can’t. I mean, if this were a backyard bbq and somebody overheard this, that would be one thing. But to make a statement like this at an official event? This is EXACTLY the kind of b.s. that will COST Obama the WH.

Maybe Alcee is the witch doctor her pastor is saving her from? Hastings has to be careful here. All folks have to do is ignore Sarah and let people see how she interviews like an 8th grader, constantly repeating what she was coached to say.
But as soon as a black man makes references against this “white woman”, the swing state rural knuckle draggers are going to start playing “Birth of a Nation” politics.

He is right that we do not need to dump on people and demonize people when we just simply disagree with their policies.

And I’d send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45

Congressman Hasting’s remarks are not helpful. And I don’t believe them to be true. It seems we still have people out there who speak “from the hip.” Hurling insane remarks about that have a clear intention of offending and inflaming people.
Congressman Hastings is using words, sayings, that don’t resemble English or the use of it.
He’s been elected by the people and should be more responsible with what he says.
It would be interesting to see what his response would be if you challenged him on how and why he said these ridiculous things about Governor Palin.
And he’s in office???? and she shouldn’t be????
I ask you, just who is out of touch????

By the way, how many of you commenting have been to Alaska? I haven’t.
But history 101 tells you that there are not a lot of cattle grazing there. Not a great source of beef or dairy. Or chickens. What about crops? Ever hear about all the farmland in Alaska?
Hmm, there is a reason for that. Not much there. Gas is much higher there than in the mainland. Because it is not REFINED in alaska – it is piped down to the lower 48 and then piped back up for their use. Everything is astronomically high there.
So – YES, moose is an important food source because it is one of the FEW animals that can survive.
Just another example of how the lack of education of the American people and their lack of interest in obtaining true facts is destroying this nation.
Our economy is not the only thing that needs reform.

Hastings is just typical of black politicians in the tank for the Marxist B. Hussein. He is not only using race baiting tactics in the vein of Revs. Jackson, Sharpton, Wright and Farakhan, he is engaged in the tired old Democrat scare tactics of “Republicans [will]…’take your social security’…’another black church will burn’…’not friends of Israel’”. All these are designed to keep their constituents ‘on the plantation’. The fact that they have promised this will happen for generations yet never has, always falls on deaf ears the same as all the empty ‘pie in the sky’ promises dems have made to blacks, poor, union members, etc. These have never and will never materialize.
Mr. Hastings knows that people like B. Hussein, Wright, Farakhan, Jackson et. al. have repeatedly made diparaging remarks specifically toward Jews, and in some cases have made hostile and threatening comments. As a Muslim sympathizer, Obama will sell out not only the Jews, but blacks, whites and the whole of America to the likes of Ahmadenijad, the Russians and a host of other radical Islamic/America hating regimes. This guy is a slick talking, pro-Marist empty suit who could never publicly reveal his true socialist agenda for fear of resounding rejection. To his credit, he has already successfully employed a number of Saul Alinsky/Bill Ayers/V.I. Lenin tactics to effect a socialist takeover of a non-socialist republic. Examples include: 1) manipulation of the media. 2) promotion of class and wealth envy. 3) promotion of racial division. He advocates other agenda ideas to complete and secure the takeover: 1) seize all privately owen firearms. 2) silence political opposition (the [un]fairness doctrine. 3) the redistribution of wealth. 4) total gov’t. control over private lives (health care, jobs, college opportunities etc.). 5) oppressive taxation. 6) seizure of private property/restiction of ownership.
Wake up America! See this threat for what it is before it’s too late.

Obama has no qualifications to be POTUSA other than he has dark skin. Sarah Palin on the other hand does have experience.

This is one of the worst racist rants I;ve heard and as a former Democrat I am ashamed of what the once great party has become. Lies, distortions, accusations without substance, guilty until proven innocent are the weapons used by demented Democrats to push their cause and that’s the tactics that were used by the Nazis and Communists to demean and destroy political opponents. I am ashamed to think we as a nation have people who are so vile and unprincipled that they use these tactics to diminish their opponents. I fear for America’s future if they control the political agenda. They are slowly bashing democracy to death.
Posted by: Jack Stack | September 25, 2008, 9:57 am 9:57 am
Hastings is a typical liberal hater-racist. If a conservative were saying such garbage, it would be all over the media. However, because this rant is by a filthy lib, it’s relegated to blog status on ABC.
If libs were held to the same standards as the rest of us in the civilized world, they’d be reduced to activist participation at medicinal marijuana smoke-ins!

A better statement from would be that Palin doesn’t care about politians like Hastings! Nothing but hate coming from the left. What about americans caring for all americans. Race is only an issue for the racist like Hastings! This is more Rev. Wright speak and this time it is coming from an elected official.

Again we see the most racist of us speaking. The Congresional Black Caucus. Ha this is pure and simple a goverment sponsered self-imposed segregationist group. Whom do not like as a whole it seems white people. I am from Floridia and I do not think that Rep Hastings should even be in office. He is a race hater with the best of them. Hunting animials is not people and we (the people) have told the world that we do not acceapt such a premis. Remember History Mr. Hastings we the White People fought for your freedom and the freedom of the Jews from Hitler. all of those whom talk so Highly of his ignorance are Ass Clowns at best who have no Idea or understanding of History or fact. You who say he has a point?! what is his point? White Woman that Hunt dont like or care about Blacks and Jews?! How Foolish you all are

We wuzza gonna’ go a huntin’ after the cross burnin’ and lynchin’ but we all was a thinkin’ we should sez somethin!
It was my ansesstoors what diffeated slavoory and librated them ther’ conceetrashun camps that had them thar joowish folkses in them.
In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).
In 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. The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed, providing five votes more than the two-thirds of those present that were needed to convict. The first article accused the judge of conspiracy. Conviction on any single article was enough to remove the judge from office. The Senate vote cut across party lines, with Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont voting to convict his fellow party member, and Arlen Specter voting to acquit.
The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again, but did not do so. Alleged co-conspirator, attorney William Borders went to jail again for refusing to testify in the impeachment proceedings, but was later given a full pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.

And another thing, Hastings: You just turned off exactly the group you were trying to bring to Obama’s side by sounding like such a dumb a**. People like you make it a lot harder for blacks like Obama and many more of us who really try to avoid this kind of talk — or even thinking — as it devalues the weight of racism in situations where race discrimination really is at play.

Why would the voters in FL want someone to represent them who hasn’t even mastered basic grammar? (“….DON’T care too much…”) Alcee is a racist, and he will try to somehow explain away his connection to Palin stripping moose and violence toward blacks and Jews. (just like Obama tried lamely to explain away his implied connection of lipstick on a pig.) How much lower can the Dems go?
By the way, exactly why is there a Congressional Black Caucus? Is there a Congressional Asian Caucus and a Congressoinal White Caucus? Aren’t our elected representatives supposed to represent ALL their constituents?

Marissa, it takes a liberal to even think the things you write. To even attempt to justify what this guy said proves you are as racist as he is. To spread the lies about hundreds of carcasses outside the palins cabin is idiotic. What do you think maybe they have a tank and they are randomly shooting down herds as they pass by to fill their barn with horns. You are so out of touch with reality and what you think a hunter. Your argument is with the same people who are trying to convince Ben and Jerry ice cream to use human milk. Not thinking if we do not need the cows milk then we will not need cows anymore except for steak.

As a black-american Jewish woman I am ashamed of Alcee Hastings and all our so-called black leaders who stoke racism and further isolate our community. I am ashamed of the black leadership in this country. Alcee Hastings’ fearmongering will not sway my vote. I do not feel that Sarah palin is a racist or anti-semitic. Barack Obama on the other hand, I am not convinced of his own colorblindness or tolerance of Jewish people. His indecisiveness and lack of leadership in times of crisis have shown me that he is far scarier than Sarah Palin could ever be. I weep for this country…

What Alcee Hastings said is unfortunate indeed. This is what American politics have come to which is also unfortunate. The sheer anger and hatred from the left towards anyone who disagrees with them is astounding. What’s also astounding is how primarily the left can’t see what is occurring right before their eyes. That would be a move to a one party system in the United States. We have seen how well that has worked out in other nations that have tried it. Despite that, the sheer hatred coming from the American left is what is scary. The left says it is supposed to be about the issues yet it is the left that launches into such personal assaults. I fear the USA is heading at a fast pace toward becoming a socialist nation with one party and those that think it would be good have never lived under such a system. Be careful what you wish for.

If Hastings believes Jewish and Black people should all think alike, then does that mean all white people, Hispanic, muslim, asian, etc should vote for McCain/Palin.
OK, then, let’s split up the country into these voting blocks. Like states, if over 50% of a “class” votes for a candidate, then 100% of the electoral votes go for that candidate.
Now the race is to make babies to propogate the size of your voting block.
Oh, wait, Hastings believes in aborting babies in his class of blacks and jews.
Well maybe Jewish people can choose then to join the other class of voters.
Hmm. Identity politics is more simple than I thought.

How dare he lump Jews and Blacks together against Alaska – is he to say that someone white from Alaska who lives a real life cannot lead blacks and jews? So with that logic I should not vote for a multi-racial man who grew up in Indonesia and aligns with Marxists – since he cannot represent me fairly.

Hastings is a racist. His statements are extremely invective. They add nothing to the political discourse but demonstrate an extreme hatred for Americans. He should be ashamed, but Democrats do not know the meaning of the word. If a Republican had made these comments, he or she would at a minimum been pilloried by the press. Rather than spouting off hateful, racist remarks, can the Democrats, shut their mouths, work for what is best for the people of America (at approximately $ 165,000 per year) and maybe do something positive. I doubt it, but one can still hope.

I noticed another race baiter here in these posts. A post filled with lies and so much left out of claims that I have to wonder said posters real background.
I wonder why *Marissa* didn’t feel the need to elaborate on the ACLU’s COMMUNIST roots, history, track record, and present day leadeship/membership? Hmmm. I guess attempting to protect a fellow communist was more important than the truth.

This is the most ridiculous statement I ever heard. Just because one hunts, does not make you out of touch nor does it mean you hate Jews and Blacks. Where does this guy come up with this delusional comment? How did he get to this elected office with that kind of thinking? Seriously, the statements that come out are generalizations of what liberals think conservatives are. They have no clue, because they probably either don’t know one or has very few friends. They probably only know about it from magazines. I bet this guy hasn’t even met a Jew. There are a lot of Jews in my community that love the McCain-Palin ticket. And, there are others who love the Obama-Biden ticket. I don’t think Palin for one instant is a Jew hater. If I am worrying about who hates Jews or has a lot of apathy for the Jewish cause, then my worry would be on Obama. His secret advisor/actor friend Clooney has been calling Israel a racist country for trying to defend itself against groups of terrorists who have been bombing civilians in Israel. If you want Obama, who has a warped sense of what is rational in this world, then you’ll get a world turned on its head. Blue will be black. I feel like I’m in Animal Farm when I hear Obama. “2 legs bad, 4 legs good” = “change” mantra
are we that dumb to realize who Obama is? are we that ready to pick some truly unknown person? at this point, we’d better off with hillary? this guy brings too much uncertainty to the table with his connections to sketchy and shady characters no matter how much he tries to distance himself when it comes to light.

Mrs. Palin cares more than you know. The basis of our beliefs are simple: The nation of Israel is sacred to our cause. They are our brothers and sisters. We are all Israelis by birth and by salvation. Our black brothers and sisters are precious in Gods’ sight. There’s a simple nursery ryhme that is so simple, yet it explains so much:Jesus loves the little children,all the children of the world. Red and yellow,black and white. They are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. Hate, no matter the person(s) is unacceptable. Alcee Hastings: we are in a hard and cruel world. Captain and Tenille said it best: Love will keep us together. Amen

STOP THE MADNESS AND REPORT REAL ISSUES! This does nothing but divide and keep us from focusing on things that truly matter and affect us. Palin doesn’t care about a lot of things and that is why DEMOCRATS (not white democrats or black democrats or Jewish democrats or hispanic democrats) will vote against her.

I’m not amazed that a congressman could use the english language in this manner. By the way, this congressman was impeached in Dade county for corruption while “acting” as a judge. Regular people would have a hard time getting a job at Jiffy Lube after something like that. He gets elected.

The irony is that it is black congressmen who are saying the sort of stupid, hateful remarks that used to be associated with the likes of Bilbo and George Wallace. They get away with it, because even middle class blacks like comedian Chris Rock not spout gutter language and people laugh at it, just as white trash used to laugh at the jokes at minstral shows.

What ABC won’t mention about this racists scumbag.. Hasting was acquitted of bribery as a Federal judge, when a Key witness refused to testify and went to jail..)Wikipedia….”In 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. The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed, providing five votes more than the two-thirds of those present that were needed to convict. The first article accused the judge of conspiracy. Conviction on any single article was enough to remove the judge from office. The Senate vote cut across party lines, with Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont voting to convict his fellow party member, and Arlen Specter voting to acquit.[1]
The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again, but did not do so. Alleged co-conspirator, attorney William Borders went to jail again for refusing to testify in the impeachment proceedings, but was later given a full pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.[2]” In spite of the fact that this crook was impeached, even by his friends in the CBC, the cretins who vote in FL 23rd, elected him to congress in 1993. Time to reconsider literacy tests for the simpletons who keep reelcting this crook!

I live in a mixed-community in Florida where we’ve been getting along fine until now. The guy living next door in my condo is an Arab-American, downstairs is a Puerto Rican couple and next to them a hard-working African-American couple. I’m the white guy.
All great people, and sometimes we’ll see each other downtown at a local bar or cafe, or at the beach, and share a few beers and laughs.
Now the dirty politics of this election are threatening to destroy harmony and tear apart communities that have been working just fine. Not perfect communities, but ones which have been improving.

Just let him say what he says, its his right, and he feels that it is his duty to say what he says. It was stupid. It was ignorant. It was race baiting, with no backup.

Yes Congressman Hastings, the American people really – really need to think THIS through. First thought – your comments are astoundingly racist. They fit right in with Obama’s Pastor/spiritual mentor Rev. Wright’s comments – “God Damn America … U.S. to Blame for 9/11 … American supports state terrorism against the Palestinians … white man’s greed, etc. etc.”. Your comments Congressman, fit right in with Obama’s own divisive belief that working-class voters in Pennsylvania and the Midwest (code for working-class whites) are bitter and cling to their guns and religion out of frustration. Because we didn’t line up to vote for you our ‘SAVIOR’ like the enlighten San Francisco progressives and liberal Hollywood elites, you accuse us of racism rather than acknowledge our very real concerns that you are the most liberal and most inexperienced Democratic candidate for President in our lifetime if not ever.
Second thought – you Congressman Hastings are a racist and a big part of the problem of the bitter divisiveness in our country today. You pit blacks against whites and Jews against Christians for what purpose? You prove the lie that Obama can bring everyone together so as long as he continues to accepts support from bigots like you.

How to tell a Democrat/Socialist.
When reading these comments all you need to read to determine what political party they are is to look for the following comments.
Democrat/Socialists when commenting will always make hateful comments full of hate America and what can you do for me plus they never have their facts right.
Most (but not all) Afro American Democrats/Socialists can be detected by the use of words like calling someone a “Racist” and that will be proceeded by hate filled comments and again they don’t have their facts straight.
Just a lesson in understanding those that are part of the problem and those that are part of the solution.

Just why in HELL do the blacks get away with expressing their view of white folks? They call it “opinion”. Well, when a white person expresses some “opinion” about a black person……they’re RACIST.
Personally, I think that Barak is just a modern day Malcolm X. He just does’t express his views openly because he is running for the highest position in America.

It doesn,t suprize me that a democrat can say anything without sound bites or recordings of it and everybody believes it. But when republicans have voting records and sound bite of Obama it is not fact just made up. You know Obama had a chance to protect the health of a baby born in a failed abortion procedure but he voted against it. Of coures he says he wants health coverage for everyone. except a unwanted child next year maybe he will say it is ok to let them die if they are only one year old. Then the whole thing about teaching children about sex at 6 years old. First this is the parents job. His excuss it was to protect children from sex preditors. If you are going to promote a bill please read it first. I dont care what any of the politicians say I read the bills they sign. It is time for the people of America to quit believing all the lies of the media and look up the voting records. Obama accussed McCain about be racist against Latin Americans. He has done more to try to help them aquired status in this country then Obama has. It is a terrible double standerd democrats can make stuff up and get away with it. Republicans point out the facts of voting records and are called liers by the media. Voting records and the actual bills don’t lie read them and find out who you blindly support. Bidan cant keep his foot out of his mouth one day and you want to say Sarah is not quilified. Please

Talk about “out of touch.” Somebody better “touch” Alcee Hastings with clue. First, what does hunting moose have to do with anything? How stupid is Hastings? Of course, a better question, “Why do Democrats Hate Palin so much?
To: justobserve, When has Obama ever been inclusive? Voted 94 times against tax cuts, NEVER for a tax cut. The most Liberal voting record in the Senate. Has never been inclusive.
To: Large Richard: What does Hunting from the Air have to do with anything. I also grew up and hunted in PA. What I do know is that if I’m hunting a bunny rabbit from a Helicopter with a machine gun, it still has a better chance than a cow.
Obama voted to eliminate all semi-automatic weapons from personal gun ownership.

How ever will the great socialist society ever survive if someone shows people what it means to be self sufficient and take care of themselves rather than wait for the handouts from Washington.

It’s all political rhetoric and general BS and folks are eating it up like a bowl of soup. Ignore the propaganda machine and REALLY watch the LIVE feed of the candidates, THEN make your decision. Listen to both candidates spew their crap just to get elected. We all know that what they say and what they can actually do are 2 different things so don’t get bent on what you read.

I happen to have been born and raised in such “remote” area you describe, yet some of our nearest neighbors (about 4 miles) and friends were Jew. Their son now works for Forbes Magazine. Please explain how it is that *I don’t care about Blacks or Jews* because of this upbringing.
AND, IF you can, please explain this so everyone really can see this effect WITHOUT claiming that a difference in political views is the same as *not caring*. IF you can.
My money is on a socialist response. You must be a racist if you don’t vote socialist. You must be an anti-Semitic if you don’t vote socialist. You must not care if you don’t do *group think* (the collective)
Here’s some information for all. Check out who the web master for the “Progressive Caucus”, the “Congressional Black Caucus”, and “The Democratic Socialists of America. Also check out their former linkage under Democratic Socialists of America, (formerly known as Democratic Socialist Alliance) and why it is they now have different websites. While you’re at it look at who is on the membership lists of each oraganization and compare the names. You’ll notice many elected Democrats, but you’ll not hear them mention this at election time nor will the news media make any note of it.

Like most politicians who use race to keep in office, Mr. Hastings insinuates that he is holding back the flood of redneck Nazis in the GOP who would destroy the families and communities of his constituents. Seems to me these ‘all-powerful phantom racists’ don’t need a lot of help. Take a look at districts / cities where these politicians have held sway for decades and show me where they’ve ever made meaningful improvements to the people whom they purport to care for. How about laws and policies that benefit everyone? Continuously preaching that Jews, and particularly blacks, need special treatment is itself racist against these Americans who are kept in a state of limbo waiting for ‘Benefactor Hastings’ to magically wipe away their fears and fix their lives. Good luck (seriously), “Black Community,” with friends like (formerly impeached) Alcee, you don’t need enemies.

In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side.

I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.
– Helen Keller
I want to live in a country where work, initiative, innovation, creativity and determination are rewarded, where the able and willing can earn what they can, and keep what they earn. No government should ever reward those unwilling to carry their own weight. And those who take money by fraud should be held accountable for their actions. Taking more (higher taxation percentage rate) from the “rich”, those who know how to produce, to give to the “poor”, and those who can only consume, is not freedom or liberty. JFK once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” He almost had it right. What should be said is, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do to take responsibility for your own welfare.” Only this can be the foundation for a truly free society. In the United States, anyone who wants more money is perfectly free to go out and earn it, to the extent of their talent and perseverance.
I want to live in a society that doesn’t expect the government to take care of all its problems. I want to live in a society where people freely help those in need. But voluntarily, not as government mandate. I believe that if we were not taxed so heavily, if we could keep more of what we earned, then people would want to be more helpful, and would be able to be more helpful, and we would then more freely give to charities and churches, so our neighbors in need, whether next door or across the country, can get help that is actually helpful. This can only be done with a smaller, less intrusive, government. It can not be accomplished with a socialist welfare system that helps perpetuate the problems of vast numbers of the needy, and brings the overall standard of living down to the lowest common denominator.
Good parents teach their children how to provide for themselves and to spend no more than they have. The Liberal Left policies of Obama would be like bad parenting, in essence telling society they don’t have to provide for themselves, they can just get what they need from those who do. In no way could this possibly be construed as true freedom or liberty. While the Liberal Left’s policies sometimes sound good on the surface, deeper scrutiny shows they cannot possibly work in the long run (over-taxing those who produce jobs can only lead to fewer jobs; over-taxing everyone can only lead to economic stagnation). And President Bush cut taxes without cutting spending… obviously this doesn’t work. But Senator McCain wants to lower both taxes and spending. And this is the only way America can keep its place in the world as the economic leader.
Let’s get America back to basics: where each citizen carries his or her own weight, works hard for just reward, and does not expect their neighbors to do for them what they should do for themselves. Let us not be a burden to each other any more. Let us not allow socialism any more into the fabric of our society.

I wouldn’t worry too much about what Hastings has to say about Palin. But I did find this interesting:
“The Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives took up the case, and Alcee Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413-3.”
Yeah, he’s a winner. Talk about someone who only gets elected because of the color of their skin (a la Marion Barry).

Good God. The Democrats are in COMPLETE, mental breakdown. But WILL America be able to WAKE UP and SEE the reality of HOW MUCH democrats hate America and wish to see it destroyed?
Do Democrats think the Presidency can REALLY be extorted with threats of a ‘long hot summer’ and screams of ‘No Justice, No Peace’?
It is bad enough the Democrats have financially raped this nation by forcing banks to lend to unqualified borrowers. Now they want to end the Democratic process completely and just anoint Obama with threats of violence and slanders hurled without cause.

Forget the fact that what he said doesn’t make any sense logically.
But think about this. He exposed what the Democrat party is all about which is favoritism. It’s not like he said “don’t care too much about the American people” but instead he said Jews and Blacks. Which means what exactly? That Jews and Blacks should be given special entitlement and preferential treatment above other groups of Americans? So what exactly should Sarah Palin do to show she cares about Jews and Blacks? Because clearly swearing to uphold and defend the constitution is not enough. This Democrat believes Jews and Blacks need and deserve more. This is why I will never vote for Democrat.

A Jewish Guy’s two cents: What is it exactly that we have in common with black people? As far as I can remember, we helped them out during the civil rights movement and have been their punching back (sometimes literally if you live in a mixed neighborhood) ever since. Now that there’s a black guy running for office we’re suddenly best friends again? How about this: I’d say we’re on opposite sides as far as this election is concerned. Higher taxes? Bad for Jews. Crappy universal health care when we can pay for our own? Bad for Jews. Less support for Israel? Bad for Jews. As as our social liberalism… most blacks aren’t even on the same page! They aren’t the live free democrats… they’re the “I deserve everything for free democrats”. So really, thanks for the “advice” or… whatever it was Rep. Hastings. But I don’t consider myself an animal and neither should you. Quite frankly I thank god we have the Palins of America who are willing to defend this country with their sons. I on the other hand sit on my ass in the city and eat out every night…

If people WEREN’T racist before the campaign, ignorant remarks like this from prominant black “leaders” might make them wonder.

Yet another excellent example from the Cynthia McKinney school of “Bait and Hate” leadership ideology. I think what you should’ve said, congressman, is that Ms. Palin isn’t your KIND (Al Sharpton might help you find a way to express it.) and therefore doesn’t relate.

While hastings could have been more tactful, the important point is to expose what a whacko and danger she would be to America and the implicit poor judgment of McCain’s impulsive moves from his gut to select someone with very recent mayoral and city council experience engaging in lies galore. As a John Ashcroft pentecostal and one who already invoked jihad holy war language from the pulpit(America militaryGod’s will carrying out to go to Iraq)she is indeed a danger to Jews!

U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings has announced he will resign from the House Intelligence Committee this month.
A Representative since 1993 and a Democrat, Hastings was a lawyer and judge of the circuit court of Broward County, Florida, and United States District Court judge for the Southern District of Florida (1979 to 1989), until he was impeached and removed from office for corruption and perjury. He is only the 6th federal judge to be impeached and removed from office in American history.

Is there any doubt that Hastings is a race baiting moron besides being one of the dumbest black politicians in history? This is the reason I’m opposed to Obama? 97 % of blacks are voting for him strictly on color and they dare to call white’s the racists in this country. If it wasn’t for the whites voting for Obama he’d never have gotten past Iowa. Where is the intellegent outrage over his statement by the black community (GETTO)? There isn’t any because there isn’t very much intelligence in that 97%. The remaining 3% have taken the opportunity that this country offers everyone and made something out of their lives. Thank you Bill Cosby for speaking out. They’ve been here for over 300 years, and they still don’t get it. Enough allready!!!

Alcee Hasting is typical of Back “leadership” offered up by the Democrat party. With Jessie shakedown Jackson, Al Tawana Sharpton, Representative William cold cash Jefferson, Ron slum lord Brown and Alcee impeached judge Hasting…it’s no mystery why so many of us have such a low opinion of and very suspicious of Barry Hussein Obama.

Think of the folks that put this reprobate in office. I’m sure his constituency in FL is some percent Jewish – how’s that for sterotyping. I’ll cut them a break and assume they didn’t know about Hastings until now, but if he stays in office beyond this term, it proves that his constituents are profilers too.

As a Jew enjoys the outdoors, fishing, and has no problem with hunting, I find Rep. Hastings’ tactics offensive and crude. It’s as if he’s saying, “you Jews have a problem and can’t think for yourselves, so I’m going to tell you what associations you should make.”
Sarah Palin hunts moose, so that makes her an anti-Semite? I fail to make the connection. Until Obama cuts ties with anti-Semite, Islamist apologist scum like George Soros and Zbigniew Brzezinski, he has no shot at this Jew’s vote.

Who is “they”?
Why should I care what happens to a black or Jew anymore than I care about anyone else?
It’s obvious that Alcee Hastings thinks about EVERYTHING in terms of race and he can’t imagine that other people don’t.
Blacks, Jews, Indians, Native Americans, Asians, and yes whites are entitled to equal protection under the law, nothing more, nothing less.
If you can’t see the logic in that, then you, sir or ma’am are a racist just like Hastings

If anyone doesn’t care about Jews/Blacks it is the DEMS. Wake up
Somebody explain to the African Americans that it was the DEMOCRATS that were for slavery!!! If it wasn’t for the ignorant and poor the socialist/democrat party of today would not exist. Can you DEMS see that all they do is throw you a bone in the name of some handout just to keep you poor and in the palm of their hands?
They need you to stay poor, they need you to stay in the ghettos. WAKE UP. You are being scammed daily. And lastly if NOBAMA gets elected you can kiss the state of Israel good-buy. Fianlly, this congressman is just another brainwashed ignorant tool.

I have to take umbrage with the use of “Redneck” in a demeaning way. Keep in mind that “Redneck” comes from the literal description of having a red neck from working the fields and range all day. Many years ago the lefties made a purposeful effort to demonize this term because people in the country don’t go along with their socialist politics. For that reason they determined that the rednecks must be marginalized and condemned in the public mind. They called us racist, anti-Semitic, and anything they could lay their lying filthy tongues to.
I’m a “REDNECK”, born and raised, damn proud of it, and the lowlife, commie scumbags in the DNC can kiss my butt.

Hasting is a tutsoon, an example of Black racism who is reelected by a constituency that doesn’t care about a candidate’s background. Hasting’s opinions aren’t worth a piece of used bathroom tissue. He’s just an anal cavity.

In any event, the only known racist in our government is the self proclaimed KKK member Robert C. Byrd the democrat from W. Virginia, but he is reformed, LOL!!!!

Sharing: A lesson on human nature
I was talking to a friend of mine’s little girl the other day. I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up and she replied, ‘I want to be President!’ Both of her parents are liberal Democrats and were standing there. So then I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’ She replied, ‘I’d give houses to all the homeless people.’ ‘Wow – what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘You don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where this homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward a new house.’
Since she is only 6, she thought that over for a few seconds. While her Mom glared at me, she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ‘Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?’ And I said, ‘Welcome to the Republican Party.’
Her folks still aren’t talking to me.

Yesterday this little wussie childish queen of a man says I will let my staff tell me where I should go instead of going to Washington to fix the Problem Clinton created in 1999 so he looks like incompident boob! I looked at Real Clear politics that said 3 states are a toss up for McCAin including Florida yet McCain is 2-5% ahead in all those states. the Democrats are runing scared as is the Obama Liberal Media who invested all there stock on a loser and keeps propping up their liberal investment of 500 million! Every left wing idiots is trying to interject race when no one but Democrats are talking about it! I for one will never vote for a half Black liberal Arab who is as empty as his resume, his resume is smaller that a dead house fly! America needs leadership McCain not a wussie I won’t take any possistion on any thing and votes Present 90% of the time because Obama is an Empty Muslim suite propped up by the extreme ultra Anti American left including 90% of the ultral liberal BS media and our enemies the Islamic an South American Terrorists FARC! I would vote for a conservitive Black Republican who has the credentials and the intelegence to be a good leader and a President, Obama has no qualities he is the Chatty Cathy doll for the Democat party just pull her strings (Obama a wussie boy who gravitous is -2000000 and has no B-lls at all and is wimp) he spews out the tired Democrap lines written 50 years ago!

Racism! There are 4,000 abortions daily in this nation, 1,900 of them are black babies. The Dem Party has promulgated abortion for 40 years. Do the math and tell me who or what is racist. Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger has had her dream come true and that was by her account to get rid of the inferior and poor. Think about it!

Is there any doubt that Hastings is a race baiting moron besides being one of the dumbest black politicians in history? This is the reason I’m opposed to Obama? 97 % of blacks are voting for him strictly on color and they dare to call white’s the racists in this country. If it wasn’t for the whites voting for Obama he’d never have gotten past Iowa. Where is the intellegent outrage over his statement by the black community (GETTO)? There isn’t any because there isn’t very much intelligence in that 97%. The remaining 3% have taken the opportunity that this country offers everyone and made something out of their lives. Thank you Bill Cosby for speaking out. They’ve been here for over 300 years, and they still don’t get it. Enough allready!!!

I’m white and I live in Harlem but plan on moving because I can’t stand the racist black people. I’m always referred to by the color of my skin: “You white…” or “You white people are all alike.” They also remind me that things will change for us white people when Obama gets elected. White people who don’t live with blacks don’t know this stuff goes on. Another friend in Harlem who is white is planning on moving too because they can’t stand it either. Black people need to confront their own racism and stop pointing the finger.

Sounds to me like whites, blacks, Jews, Asians, and everybody else will be fine around Sarah Palin as long as they don’t go around wearing moose suits on Halloween night. If Hastings really wants to find a bigot in a hurry, maybe he should check his bathroom mirror first!

That jerkwad doesn’t speak for Jews, and Palin’s church never raised money to help Hamas kill Jews like Barack Obama’s stinking “church” did.

Mr. Hastings must think the people he represents are idiots; to be able to hold public office and manipulate (poorly I must say) on issues that transcend race. I care about these things as well but because I am not either Black or Jewish I guess I don’t count; according to the narrow minded bigot that so unfortunately represents a portion of our great state. To top it off, Hastings command of the English language is quite poor.

A few things about the Democratic messiah.
Obama’s first big decision, he picks Joe (Where am I) Biden instead of Clinton. How big of an ego does this jerk have. He may still win but with Hillary, it wouldn’t even have been close and no one except for Alaskans would have ever heard of Palin.
How can anyone question Palin’s religion when Obama has been listening to The Right Reverend (God Damn America) Wright for 20 years?
Obama said that his daughters “shouldn’t have to pay for a “mistake” (Unwanted pregnancy)”. So he’s O.K. if his daughters kill his grand kids. He’s also for late term abortions, that’s a euphemism for live birth abortions or killing babies out of the womb.

Campain finance reform and term limits sound better and better everyday. We need reform all right – everyone in the current congress THE HELL OUT. These people have been screaming change for the past 20 years that I have been actively involved as a voter – and no party has delivered. We only have ourselves to blame for the current situation in the economy. Idiots racking up consumer debt to get the latest model of X-box or have the best car when you know you can’t afford it. Buying a house that you know you don’t have the ability to pay for if your current situation changes. Too lazy to pay attention to who’s running your system of government – and the people who are running that government are buying your votes with promises of making credit more available. Nothing is worth a damn if it’s free except love – and there is no UTOPIA possible in a free country. You know – if you like RUSSIA or CHINA so much – why don’t you go live there and quit trying to make the USA a handout nation. A lot of good people gave their lives in the past so we can have freedom – Is 700 billion dollars enough freedom for you? If this dopey plan fails our children will be paying for this until Jesus returns. Wake UP and demand some honesty from the people you elect, and hold them accountable, or do us all a favor and stay home during election day.

The Bill Ayers SDS should be looked into, I saw their work at Colorado State University. Burn the chemistry lab and wreak havoic. Ayers was the leader. Scary to see socialism at it’s best.
The socialist agenda depends upon the stupidity of people like this racist judge. Listen into his personal conversation about WHITEY and you will change your mind about WHO is really racist.

Alcee Hastings has a lot of audacity even pretending to know what Sarah Palin thinks about anything. He’s an impeached former liberal judge. If he had brain one, he’d keep his racist mouth shut and do his job. It is just amazing who the demotards will throw out there to make idiotic statements about the people who are beating their butts into the pavement. It doesn’t make one bit of difference what the news media and their phoney balogna polls say, the demptards are gonna take it on the chin this election. McCain isn’t who I’d choose but he’s lightyears ahead of O-Bozo, and his color doesn’t have squat to do with it. He’s a worse speaker than Bush is and that’s because he draws from nowhere. The democrats are a total embarassment to America and their continued disassembly of our beloved country continues. Anyone that votes for a democrat is either stubborn our just plain ignorant and don’t realize just who these people are and what they are doing.

Hastings is a disgraced former judge. The fact that he has been elected to Congress does not erase the fact that he has been convicted of misdeeds.
Pay no attention to this jerk.
Posted by: Duke Powell | September 25, 2008, 11:18 am 11:18 am
Everyone should remember that Mr. Hastings does represent a group of voters in Florida. That group sees everything in Black and White and those are the only issues that matter to them.
This is a set up to claim that Obama lost the election because of race – pure and simple.

It looks like Congressman Hasting has some negative stereotypes of white people. Also known as racism.

The anti-Christian and anti-White bigotry in the comments section is incredible.
What does Palin’s race or religion have to do with her desire to go hunting?
Let’s remember Alcee Hastings is a convicted felon and a racist. That he was re-elected says more about his constituents and our districting laws than anything else. What an idiot…
Posted by: J House | September 25, 2008, 11:18 am 11:18 am
So let me get this straight….because Ms. Palin hunts moose with a gun…she therefore “don’t (sic) care to much what they do to jews and blacks”.
What a race-baiting moronic dope you are sir.
And bravo to the Palin Camp for “taking a pass”.

I believe it is Barak Obama who has a close relationship with Louis Farakhan and Jeremiah Wright, two well-known Jew haters. Jeremiah Wright even posted a letter from the leader of the PLO in his church bulletin. The Jewish vote will go to McCain without a doubt.

What specific proof does Hastings have that Palin doesn’t care about minorities? It seems as though the Race Card gets played all too well by those who claim to want racism to end. Why doesn’t Hastings ever come out against the rap “artists” that spew the N-word fifty times in a “song”, and call black women “b!tches” and “hos”. Please… the racism stems from the black community these days, starting with so-called “leaders” like Hastings. This is pathetic, people see through it, and it won’t help Obama.

Is there any doubt that Hastings is a race baiting moron besides being one of the dumbest black politicians in history? This is the reason I’m opposed to Obama? 97 % of blacks are voting for him strictly on color and they dare to call white’s the racists in this country. If it wasn’t for the whites voting for Obama he’d never have gotten past Iowa. Where is the intellegent outrage over his statement by the black community (GETTO)? There isn’t any because there isn’t very much intelligence in that 97%. The remaining 3% have taken the opportunity that this country offers everyone and made something out of their lives. Thank you Bill Cosby for speaking out. They’ve been here for over 300 years, and they still don’t get it. Enough allready!!!

Hey R.G. Franco -
Post Katrina, we see what Blacks think of Blacks in New Orleans. Why is it the government’s job to come save my ass when I’m too damn dumb to heed the warnings or start leaving town ahead of the storm. How about that wonderful Black leadership in that gem Ray Nagan. As far as I’m concerned, his own ineptitude should be considered Black-on-Black hate crime for leaving ‘his own’ people in that festering mess. And oh, you do have to accept Christ, or will not see heaven…His rules, nobody else’s. Take it up with Him.

Alcee “you know what I’m sayin’” Hastings is a good reason why we should modify the Constitution to provide two classes of Congress People, just like corporations have two classes of stock: Preferred and Common. Longevity, lack of criminal record, and IQ would be some of the key factors in determining who would be designated Preferred and Common. The process would be completely objective, with no “affirmative action” or “preference” components.
The American public could still elect anyone they wanted to Congress, but only the ones who passed this minimal test of competency would be allowed to vote on issues of national importance.
One need only have watched the bailout hearings in the House yesterday to learn, once again, that many of our elected representatives are complete idiots. Some of them couldn’t even pronounce the words their staff members had used on their prepared statements. It was like watching the clown car at the circus. Who is coming out next?

Posted by: Roger | September 25, 2008, 11:27 am 11:27 am
What? Are you kidding me? Where does this stuff come from?
Mr. Hastings, with all due respect, if you’re going to slam someone at least back up your statements and speak proper English in the process. No one in this campaign has even been the least bit racist or anti anything except the liberal socialists who back the liberal socialist Obama!!! If Obama loses it will not be because he’s half African-American and half European-American, it will be a result of his socialist views and policies that he wants to implement.
And what does hunting have to do with this? (Unless of course the moose is black or Jewish!) Obviously you know nothing about hunting or hunters and why they hunt and what they do with the take.
Oh, Mr. Hastings…can I ask you a question please..if Barak Obama was running as a European-American while ignoring his African-American heritage, would you be supporting him? I bet not. Until he started presenting himself as an African-American, many blacks believed he wasn’t black enough. Not until he labeled himself African-American and began ignoring his European-American background, was he accepted by the mainstream media and people such as yourself. Now who is the racist here?
I’m curious how people with such mean-spirited hearts keep their jobs? Florida, are you listening to this man?

Closing their minds to discussion about a myriad of topics in Congress, including offshore drilling, and making the most ignorant claims about their opponents in a vain attempt to win voters. All the while driving “Mainstream” America to McCain-Palin because these, comments, are what is out of touch with the “maintstream”.

Hastings should have responded to the question that ABC News axed him! To have his represenatative David Goldberg try to cover for his racist and perjudice rant was insulting to African Americans because of the way he so eloquently presented himself and to the Jewish community, which I happen to be a member of, because his description of what our community wants isn’t true. I, like the majority of Jews, would like to see Israel protected and have the United States stand with them in any crisis regardless of what the anti-semetic UN and EU propose. Obama does not care about Israel and therefore any sane Jewish person should see that casting a vote for him is detremental to Israel and Jews all around the globe.

Those ridiculous remarks coming from a Congressman who was a former Judge but removed from the bench due to his ethics violations and other criminal investigation findings are a bit hard to believe. He has said anything in the past to get himself and his friends elected. Being in a large Jewish family here in Virginia, I would definitely not listen to a bigoted ethically challenged Congressman from Florida like Alcee Hastings. He has his own problems that kept him off Congressional Chairman Committees in ’06 and he is just reverting to old political hack statements here. Gov. Palin is a great lady and represents a far greater majority of American mainstream than this political hack Hastings will ever represent.

Such incendiary and craven remarks by black leaders have long ago reached the point of diminishing returns, and as a result other racial groups have long stopped listening. How many legitimate issues and concerns in the black community have gone unheeded because others have tired of such rhetoric and tuned out?
There’s a dirty little secret Rep. Hastings and other “leaders” of the black community don’t want to tell their followers: it’s not about them anymore. There’s a new sheriff in town, meaning another, more influential minority group: Hispanics. 44 years after the Civil Rights Act, African-Americans failed to fully consolidate their position in the American society, due in large part to nefarious leadership which continues to seek retribution instead of opportunity.
With Hispanics now outnumbering them, I feel African-Americans are in the most precarious position they have faced since 1964. Whites will still continue to kowtow to them, but I don’t think Latinos have any such qualms, and will be more than happy to kick them back to the rear of the bus. What’s more, I believe an Obama presidency will have little or no impact on this chain of events.
I hope that the window for African-American equality and justice hasn’t fully closed. If it has, then the cabal of dubious post-MLK black leaders (such as Rep. Hastings) must be held largely accountable.

As a Floridian I can vouch for the fact that Alcee is a dirtbag. And that’s being generous. He makes Rober Wexler look good; imagine that. Hastings is a charlatan and knows that as long as he panders to his racially biased constituents, he will get re-elected and have some credibility with blacks. Yes, I’m black so don’t be surprised. Entitlements are not helping our race Alcee – please grow a pair and get off your high-horse.

Logikal referred to “hundreds of moose and elk carcasses” laying around at Palin’s dad’s house. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Hunters who only want trophies leave what they DON’T want out in the woods. That many carcasses “rotting” outside your house would cause an unbearable stench and a health hazzard. When I read that some reporter had seen that, I smelled the BS and I’m a city boy.
It’s not so scary that racists like Hastings exist. What’s scary is that enough like him exist to elect him to congress. And even more exist who “think” like him. Any “logik” imputed to his comments is necessarily based on stereotype of hunters and rednecks. I thought only republicans stereotyped! Silly me!

Hastings is a racist and it shows. If Democrats were truly tolerant and unified, there would be no Black Caucus or Gay Caucus. These people are no more tolerant than Hitler or the KKK. They are haters pure and simple. It is a shame that people are so stupid that they vote for Democrats. I walked away from the party when I saw it was being taken over by elite racists and other rich special interest groups and they no longer cared for the people.

To all of you that think Palin is Racist. GET AN EDUCATION! She’s married to a native American man. She’s partnered with a man for President that adopted with his wife, a young lady from India. She is constantly in conference with advisors, many of which are jewish and black, getting wisdom from their non-racist thinking and promoting an agenda for the American common person. The only racist in this article is Ms Hastings. When she talks about abortion rights watch out. She has forgotten that Margaret Sanger and her ilk were racists and abortion was seen as a way to get rid of the “lesser” peoples. The unintelligent and the “untrainable”. She thought blacks were relegated to slavery because they were not able to govern themselves. She was an atheist and an evolutionist and believed that abortion as a method of genocide was acceptable because it was an invention of a master race and society. Blacks and Jews better own up to their religious traditions and support a candidate that sees abortion for what it is and supports Israel for what it is, a Blessing to the whole world.

It seems that whenever a white person is doing good against a black person, the only route is to call that white person raci$t.
I think the white American public grows tired of being called raci$ts for every little thing… Meanwhile blacks are blatantly raciSt and no one in the media seems to care… They fuel the fire.

“Just like Jews, blacks care about affordable health care, energy independence, and the separation of church and state,” said Hastings. “And just like blacks, Jews care about equal pay for equal work, investment in alternative energy, and a woman’s right to choose.”
Does he think that these issues are unique to blacks and Jews? As an wealthy, white, middle-aged, Pro-Choice, Republican woman, these are issues that greatly concern me as well. We did not build our business without being concerned about these very issues. This is Race-baiting at its best.
The issue I am most concerned about is Health Care. I am afraid that B. Obama will do for Health Care what the Democratic Gongress did for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That is much more frightening than a Anti-Abortion VP.

Posted by: William Cisco | September 25, 2008, 11:48 am 11:48 am
After reading about the fact that he was impeached – is there any law that says that those that serve in our Congress or as President etc – they must not have a criminal record? I would have thought that would be a given – but it seems not! Maybe we should push for a law that states that. In addition, with all the voter fraud run by the Democrats via Acorn and liberals – perhaps this guy wasnt legally elected. I personally think one needs to now be photgraphed via a camera link and sign their name and it should be immediately matched to the SS number they state BEFORE voting.

And we listen to this guy, why?
STATE REP. ALCEE L. HASTINGS (D-FL): From the 1998 Almanac of American Politics: “He was impeached by the House of Representatives by a vote of 426-3 in 1988 and convicted and removed from office by the Senate by a vote of 69-26. The impeachment arose from allegations that Hastings conspired with a friend to accept $150,000 for giving two convicted swindlers a break in sentencing. Hastings was acquitted in a criminal trial in 1983, but the friend was convicted. In the House, the case for impeachment was made by John Conyers, senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Removed from the bench, Hastings was unapologetic.”

The Democrats are squirming like worms on a hot rock. To try and link the Jews and blacks together is a sure sign of desperation. Pretty soon the Dems will try and say the Hispanic community and blacks have always been the best of friends and they should all vote for Obama.
The only thing the Jews and blacks have in common is the fact they both live on the planet earth. I assume for a democrat, that should be reason enough to vote for Obama. Most Dems believe that just because Obama is half black, that should be reason enough. Hell, O.J. Simpson murdered two typical white people and was let off the hook just because he was black.
I wonder how many Jews Hastings has had over to his house for dinner? If they have so much in common, why don’t the Jews have a “Congressional Jewish Caucus”?
No, I think the blacks in office believe they have some form of entitlement just because they’re black. That makes them racists at heart and they want another racist in the oval office.
I wonder how much Obama will take from my paycheck in order to pay restitution to blacks living in America for crimes against their ancestors? I wonder what he’ll call that tax? It won’t be just take from the rich and give to the poor, it will be take from the whites and give to the blacks. I thought that was what affirmative action was all about. I guess they not only want jobs they’re not qualified for, but they want my money to, and with Obama at the helm, they’ll get it.
I guess I’d better hit the tanning booth soon, cause I want to look like I need a handout too.

Looking at most of the comments here from left-wingers (and Hasting’s comments as well), it’s very apparent why you have lost the last two elections and will lose this one: The Democrat Base is INSANE.
You can argue that the Republican base is a bunch of bible thumping hayseed hicks… But a lack of intelligence or education does not disconnect them from the realities that America is facing. The Democrat base, on the other hand, is completely disconnected from reality, thinking that insulting average Americans (who believe in God, State Rights, the right to bear arms, the right to life) will get Obama votes. I have to say Obama is probably clutching his head praying to God that you loons, and loons like Hastings would just shut up and give him a fighting chance.

Alcee Hastings used to be a federal judge until he was impeached by the House of Reps in 1988 and removed from office for corruption and perjury. How ironic that he’s now a member of the House and in a high-profile position to make such asinine comments like this one about Governor Palin.

MLK’s dream of judging AA not by the color of the skin but by the content of their character is shattered by the likes of Hastings.

A little background from Wikipedia on the “honorable” Mr. Hastings should put his remarks into perspective:
In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).
In 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.

This would be just silly, if Sarah Palin hadn’t been “dis” invited to attend this event by the Jewish organizations that had formally invited her in the first place. This was because Hillary would not be lowered to appear on the same stage with Palin. Not only should Hastings be ashamed of himself, so should the organizations for pandering to the democrats. For Shame!

Just another of the “shuck and jivers” lining up to play the “race card”. Stands to reason, however, that the mouthpieces for Hussein will surely seek to continue to spew this venom in order to shore up their Imam Hussein as he uses his “politics of race” to further divide the country.
We’ve enough of the shuck and jive as it becomes clearer that for true leadership, true change, peace, and reform only ONE man fights for us…only ONE man has the ability to lead, and only ONE man demonstrates his compassion for all races, all genders, and all socio economic classes…that Man is John McCain.

When can the majority in this country have something for ourselves? We can’t even elect a person who represents our interests without being labeled racist?

Unfortunately their are many people in this country that will agree with Mr Hastings no matter what logic they hear from others. These are the type of people that would actually elect somebody like him in the first place. The only way to solve this problem is to come up with a basic test (logic, basic economics and world knowledge, etc.) to allow people to vote. We would then have the best possible choices leading the country. But they will call that racist, so it could never happen.

The closet sympathizers to the Brittish called John Adams a Traded and Hater of the American Colonies? All while they were taking money and goods from the Brittish for providing information.
This so called congress woman should be recognized for what she is, another modern day Trader to the US constitution which she pledged to uphold… She is a hate monger and a disgrace to the citizens of the USA.
She exemplifies the thought process and character of the NEW democrats that are behind the OBAMA campaign. This is a women who if she was back in the days of the Witch trials of Salem, She would scream in the town square to “Burn” Sara at the stakes, call her a “witch” just because she feel inferior in her own life as a person.
Are these the type of people you want running your government and supporting this candidate?
In LA if you are a gang member, you are looked at by others as one to be cautious of, whether you are a good person or not, This is based on you judgement for joining the gang in the first place and being associated with that caliber of individuals… The old saying is that “You are judge by the company you Keep” Holds true..

I’m amazed. I see this obsession with race and these statements that have no part in civilized discourse coming from the Democrats and Democrats supporters here. The statements include assertions that all Republicans are racist. The interesting thing is that what I see tells me that it’s the Democrats that seem to have a problem with this. Normally, in civilized discourse, we are required to have reasons and back up for the things that we say. From what I see here, I suppose Mr. Hastings, for whatever reason, will not be held to this standard. Shameless and wrong. And some of the posters here definitely need to educate themselves a little – facts, history, grammar. Half-truths fervently felt and preached will make you a victim for life. Class and race struggle are failed ideologies from German Nazis and Mao’s Cultural Revolution. The reason these ideologies are considered failed is because they resulted in destruction and death for tens of millions of people. This is literally what people like Mr. Hastings are playing with here. He should accept that he is wrong and make a simple and real apology.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
I’m Barrack Obama and I approved this message from the honorable Representative Hastings of Florida:
I have long stated my on my platform that white America is entirely racist, clings to their bitterness, guns and religion and a whole host of other things that are wrong with this country.
Congressman Hastings is helping me to spread this message. I think all would agree that anyone who carries a gun is a violent racist and that goes double for people who hunt defenseless animals.
Now when I’m elected, and I shall be, I will see to it that indeed guns are banned and that’s just a start.
See, white people need to be taught a lesson and I think you would all agree that you are the problem that requires an Obama administration to fix.
In my administration, leaders such as Hastings, Ayers, Reverend Wright, Farrakan and a host of others shall be placed into the highest positions of power to set policy and help create a better America.
I’m Barrack Obama and I approved this message.

Alcee Hastings and William Jefferson (D-LA) with $90,000 found in his freezer.
Both elected by the Democratic voters to serve in Congress.
And of course Charlie Rangel–not declaring all his income and using rent control apt’s as his office. Good choice by Dem to head the ‘Ways and Means’ committee.

I think Hastings is being a true patriot. He believes that if he smears Palin enough, it will cause the independant voters to vote for McCain out of sympathy for Plain. If that happens and McCain gets elected, he may have just saved the life of Obama from some form of racist assassination plot. So in effect, Hastings is a real life savior!

Joey (that posted just above me ) You hit the nail on the head. The white folks in this country are so tired of all the handouts, and in return we get our hands bitten off.
I can and will vote for McCain/Palin and do it proudly. Time for the others to stop the biting and go to work.

Funny that ABC fails to mention that Hastings was impeached and removed from a federal judgeship for being a corrupt criminal.
This is why ABC is considered nothing more than a water carrier for the Democrats. How low can they stoop.

This is one of many perfect examples on how liberals use racism for their own good. Allegations of racism that actually have ZERO basis in fact, but have the sole purpose of slandering opponents who have better character than Obama.
It’s funny how there’s a double-standard here, because somehow when you postulate that Obama is racist and has racist friends, suddenly, that’s so wrong.
Simply put, racism is a display of ignorance. Perhaps, Obama was ignorant when he continued to keep going to Rev. Wright’s church while he listened to anti-white theology. Perhaps, there’s a lot of ignorance that has gone around that needs to be forgiven.
But at this stage, the dishonorable Congressman Alcee Hastings ought to know better than to say things that cannot be backed up with factual evidence. And as such, Hastings’ constituents ought to administer the proper reprimand. Do they really want a racist slanderer representing them?

His goofy comment just confirmed what everyone already knew, as if confirmation were needed. Old Alcee has always been a racist, and not a very bright one at that. He built his political career on it, is proud of it, and will continue to be elected by his district because of it.

But I do care if they are killing, maiming and raping INNOCENT JEWS.

This is simply disgusting! I am a Jew, and I seriously doubt whether I can ever vote for a democrap again. People like this pc of Sh*t Hastings are the reason I cannot support that party any longer.
When the Dems wake up, and treat people like lieberman fairly, maybe I’ll reconsider. I highly doubt it though, since the party has now become coopted by race baiting, anti white, anti middle american black people, and the worst of the worst hate mongers. Worse yet, is there culture of curruption. It is far worse than any other segment of the political spectrum.
Kwame Kilpatrick, Rep Jefferson, Rangle, and this bum too. My family may have supported the civil rights movement, even marched alongside Dr King, (just like Lieberman) but I have to shake my head at the kind of people they are elevating politically, from within their race. The world would probably be a whole lot better without this race bating crap, and Jackson and Sharpton are another 2 perfect examples of this.
I would rather vote for a couple of rabid Israel supporters like McPalin, then an anti Israel activist like Biden…. not to mention all of the Palestinian terrorists support Obama, especially the ones he gets all cozy with in Chicago, and Detroit. Forget for a moment that he has recieved a couple million in contribs from Gaza. Forget for a moment his ties to Farrakahn. Forget for a moment all of the kooks he has had to fire from his foreign policy staff for their antisemetic, and anti israel views.
The bottom line is this- Hastings is not Jewish. He has no right to say these things, and it truly shows the sad state of Obamas relationship with jews, for him to attempt to scare us into voting for him. This is a coordinated, and organized attack emanating from the top down, because outside of Jimma Carter, Obama will likely be the only (other) Dem Pres. candidate in the last century to garner a minority of the jewish vote.

Alcee Hastings – this is the black racist who was convicted of accepting bribes, impeached as a federal judge, , and disbarred. Thanks to a black constituency sans common sense or a minimal degree of ‘country first,’ elected him to congress, a job paying this common crook 15 thousand bucks monthly. This is a fellow who indeed is calling the black pot, black!

The Democrats serve a very useful function. They stand in stark contrast to what is right with this country.
Like when standing next to someone fat makes you look skinnier, or standing next to someone ugly makes you look better.
Standing next to a Democrat makes you look a lot smarter. The difference is, that you don’t really need to stand next to a Democrat to be smarter, its just a fact of life.
The only thing that can stand next to a Democrat and make the Democrat look smarter is…….is…..oh crap, I’ll have to get back with you on that, its gonna take a bit of research.

Understand that no one in Hastings’ district sees anything wrong with his words. Just like no one in Rev. Wright’s church thinks he has said anything wrong. Wright and Hastings are actually subdued compared to others in their community.
Can Obama keep a lid on these folks anxious to dish out payback and loot everything in sight? I wouldn’t want to be in Obama’s shoes. Whether Obama is elected or not, be prepared for some riots.

If Alcee Hastings is the best that the Congressional Black Caucus can do, it’s time for them to close up shop and go home. What an embarrassment to blacks everywhere. The real question in all of this is:

If Obama is up in the polls and a shoe in than thier is no need for this kind of rhetoric and evene if hes behind this wont help.
Its quite possible the fix is in and the top Dems are betting om Hillary to run in 2012 and want Obama to lose this time arround.
McCain choosing Palin as VP only makes 2012 more inviting for Hillary to run in 2012.
4 years of McCain is a small price to pay but an Obama win insures that Hillary Clinton will never be President.
And thats not an option Clintonites want to enable.

What a racist! If a McCain supporter were to say anything half as idiotic, he would be run out of town and the comments wouold be blamed on McCain. It’s time to realize that NObama is just as much white as he is black. He is a race bating bigot who has no other credentials other than being 1/2 Black. If he were identified as white, he would have been laughed off the stage long ago. People think Bush has an issue speaking, but he makes NObama seem smart and clear. It’s time for NObama to go back where he came from, a wealthy white school and suburb. NObama–Not NOW–NOT EVER!!!!

Obama is 7 times more ARAB than black!
A researcher for the NYTimes was commissioned to investigate Obama’s heritage and ancestry. He didn’t expect what he found. He gave the info to the NYTimes, but the Times chose not to publish it (surprise…NOT). The researcher put the info on his web site out of duty to our counrty. Here is the link for the article and research. Hope you can use it. This deception by Obama is obviously deliberate. Most people in America would not vote for an Arab-American, certainly not the African-Americans, since Arabs have been involved in slave trading and worse in Africa.
Check here: http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html
Although Obama’s father is a Kenyan citizen he is listed as Arab-African.
Obama is only 6.25% African, but is 43.75% ARAB and 50% Caucasian.
This is a “slave trading” componant to Obama’s Kenyan relatives.
Obama would not want that to get out.

What the biggest pity in this whole election seems to be that a lot of race baiting is coming from the minorities. People are not voting for Obama because he is super smart or has experience (he has very little less than the Republican VP) but because he is black. If he was white and 90% plus voted for him then the news media would be yelling it all racial. But when 90% + of the black vote for him and Ophra never would get involved into politics until now gee wonder why.
Face the truth America racial hate and bigotry seems to be on both side of the fence…

If you need a reason to become a Republican and vote for McCain/Palin, all you have to do is look at who is supporting the other side. Hollywood lefties, angry feminists, angry blacks, angry white youth and a lot of other stupid people filled with rage. They are truly derelicts. Normal, responsible people vote Republican. Remember that on election day when you step into that voting booth.

Going out for a walk in the woods here isn’t like a tiptoe thru the tulips. It can be very serious business and just about everyone carries a gun of some kind and no one thinks much about it.

I dislike both sides as both talk out of the side of their mouths. McCain and Obama are not representing us, they are representing their parties. It has always been like this and always will be and that is why NOTHING will “CHANGE!” So quit lying to us and saying it is time for change. 4 years from now will be just like the last 40 years prior.

It amazes me that any one who is Jewish could possibly vote for a democrat. They will sell the nation of Israel down the tubes in a heartbeat. Anyone who does not think grandmothers, families, or disabled children are important should be barred from running for office. Throw your grandmother under the bus for a frank comment, disassemble the American family by promoting gay marriage, and make sure babies born alive after a botched abortion are left to die unattended–Obama has done all of the above along with making sure poor people can get a mortgage they can’t afford and collecting lots of money from disgraced Fannie and Freddie people for doing so. Can’t you people read or do you blindly follow the talking points of the NObama people. Wake up. The real culprits are do-gooders (with ownself in mind buying votes.

The only thing they didn’t do that should have been done is to bar him from holding public office. By the way one of his co-conspirators was pardon by Bill Clinton on the last day of his administration. This is race baiting at its worst. I’m with the “moose stipper”, gotta admit I love that term.

Palin’s church hosted an official from the cult “Jews For Jesus” where he blamed Jews’ and Israels’ problems on the fact that they won’t “accept Christ”. Make no mistake – Palin and her like believe there is something fundementally wrong with a group that doesn’t believe Jesus of Nazereth was the messiah. They support Israel not because they like Jews, but because Israel has to exist for their Armageddon mythology to play itself out. Believe me, after “the rapture” they don’t expect to have to see any of us (Jews) around anymore.

I sent the following letter to the president, all of my elected officials for Florida, Senator McCain and Senator Obama. Please read this letter and speak up America. You can go to http://www.congress.org and tell your elected official what you want them to do for FREE. Now is the time for action not simply allowing our government to do things without regard to our well being.
—————————————-
Dear…
Since we are heading down the slippery slope to socialism I’d like to offer up an alternative to the 700 billion dollar bailout plan you are currently considering.
If we have 700 billion dollars or insist upon printing it and plunging our country into deeper debt, I suggest we divide that number (700 billion) by the number of people in America (legal of course–approximately 300 million) and issue a check for that amount to each and every American (every, man, woman, and child).
Once those checks have been issued (direct deposit should be required to save the cost of paper and printing supplies) all social services should end (social security, disability, welfare, Medicaid/Medicare, student loans, grants, food stamps—every social program).
These checks should come with stipulations:
1) If the person receiving the check is mentally or physically unable to tend to their finances then a trust should be setup to care for their financial needs. If the person is a minor child a trust fund should be created with his/her parents as guardian of the fund to ensure that the child’s needs are met. There must be accountability and oversight for all trust accounts to insure that these funds are used in an appropriate manner.
2) One person from each family should be required to purchase some sort of housing (house, condo, villa, ranch—something)—outright without financing and/or mortgage. Taxes and adequate insurance will also be required to insure this asset against natural disasters or acts of terrorism. This asset is exempt from any liens including the IRS or any other debt—no one should be allowed to jeopardize his/her shelter regardless of the reason. Shelter should be available to everyone regardless of class or social status.
If a person chooses to purchase other real estate for investment purposes so be it. But if you choose not to insurance and protect your own assets you will not be reimbursed by the government for any loses. Investing is risky. If you gamble with your finances you need to be able to incur consequences.
3) If the families currently have or wish to purchase a vehicle–they should be required to purchase an alternative fuel vehicle such as electric, hybrid, hydrogen, etc. Upon the purchase of their new vehicle all old oil and gas vehicles should be recycled for scrap metal.
4) Each family should be required to open a medical savings account with two million dollars per family member. To clarify each person would have their own account or trust and those funds would follow them for their entire life. These accounts must be insured and guaranteed by our government so that everyone will be able to get the quality medical care they need. These accounts also need oversight and accountability. In the event of a catastrophic illness and the total depletion of this account–all health, medical, dental, mental healthcare, will be free to this individual for as long as he/she lives–quality healthcare not the substandard Medicaid and/or welfare provisions that we currently have. Any funds remaining in this account at death all remaining funds will be donated to government approved medical research and development facility to cure ALS, cancer, muscular dystrophy, and other life threatening illnesses that steal time and quality from us. Each person will elect a beneficiary for their own account at creation. Parents or guardians will elect a beneficiary for their children. When that child becomes of age they will have an opportunity to change their beneficiary.
5) All current bills and legislation for spending should be halted–no new spending for any reason. No more earmarks or special projects. All matching funds for government employees end. Our focus needs to shift to balancing the budget.
Imagine the money that we as a nation could save if we weren’t burdened with social programs and special interests. Companies will no longer be burdened with the cost of health and/or dental insurance since each person will be responsible for their own coverage. No more costs associated with social security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, or disaster recovery. We can eliminate those government entities entirely (social security, FEMA, etc). The only need would be a small staff to act as an oversight to insure that all American’s will receive quality health, dental, and mental healthcare.
I’m sure these seem like drastic measures but we live in drastic times. You are all right about one thing—we need to act now. I’m begging each of you to reconsider the path we are on and consider all other alternatives before you rush into making a decision that will change our country forever. Please do not apply a Band-Aid to the symptom of a much larger problem. Thank you for your time and your consideration.

Sarah Palin believes that the end of times is nigh and that all Jews, and anyone else, who is not saved will be destroyed. Her Christian denomination believes that Jesus will come again when the Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is destroyed. Her Church is active in the Jews for Jesus crusade. She doesn’t care about Jews except for climbing over their dead bodies to get to Heaven on judgement day.

This is typical liberal race-baiting. If you are a “conservative,” then you have to be racist. However, these ignoramuses forget it was conservatives who passed the Equal Rights Act, and who had the first black man run for Congress. It was “liberal” Democrats (Dixiecrats) who wore the white hoods of the KKK. It is liberalism that convinces them to kill their unborn by setting up human chop shops in their neighborhoods (Margarette Sanger and Planned Parenthood), allows them to remain in poverty as a their own personal voting block, and keeps them in the ghettos mentally and physically. It was peacenik liberals that argued against going to War with Hitler and now against terrorism. It was liberals who thought we could achieve “peace in our time” through appeasement. It is liberal Democrats that want to leave Israel high and dry right now and are on the side of Hezbollah and Al Qaeda. It is liberalism that wants to keep “those people” on mass-transit, in multiple housing, cold in the winter, and placed us in the financial fix we are in right now. So, who are those who truly hate the Jews and blacks? Liberals just like Alcee Hastings and his cronies!

Here is a man with an excellent command of the English language. I ain’t be kiddin’ ’bout ‘dat.

LOOK YA’LL CRACKERS JUST NEED TO SHUT THE F*CK UP!
Hastings is just echoing what I have said many times about small town America clinging bitterly to its guns and religion. I’m right and everyone knows it.
You white people and some of you black conservatives are the problem with your guns and Zionist centered religion.
My Administration will ban both your guns and your pathetic religion. This is sorely needed in this nation and I intend to do just that.
You keep crossing me and I might just look at “aborting” all your first born as well in the time honored traditions of my ancestors.
Praise Allah. Alla Akbar!

ok…so I guess the 60,000 people she drew last week in Florida may have scared a few people such as Hastings….I am in awe of the things that are just being made up out of the blue about her,and wow! Hasting needs to learn to form a proper sentence…most of the false stats being cited on these opinion posts are pure conjecture, and stupid attempts to frighten women who want to vote for her.
Obama staffers are working day and night on these websites speading FEAR.
As we saw in the New York Iran protests there are alot of my fellow Jews who support her.

Eighteen years ago, Democratic Rep. John Conyers came to believe that Alcee Hastings, at the time a federal judge in Florida, was guilty of impeachable offenses. Hastings stood accused of conspiring to take bribes, and, although it is little remembered today, Conyers served as the chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee that investigated Hastings and unanimously recommended his impeachment. After the House voted 413 to 3 to impeach Hastings, Conyers went on to serve as one of the House impeachment managers who successfully argued before the Senate that Hastings should be convicted and removed from office.

Hastings surprises me. For years African Americans have been staunchly anti-Jewish (despite the great help–and lives Jews gave to get Blacks voting rights in the South…)
Now Hastings suggests Jews “get together with Blacks.”
Sorry Hastings, it’s a bit too late. Palin is very conservative, but that does not make her anti-Jewish. A large number of conservatives have been very supportive of Israel.
Hastings certainly has not.

“”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.” – Article
What overt racism is this? Of course, the MSM will not care because he’s black and we all know that blacks can never make racist remarks – only whites do that.

Alcee says that blacks and Jews should come together and support Obama because they have a lot of issues they agree on.
EXCEPT for the tiny little fact that Obama has sat in a Jew-hating/Israel bashing church for 20 years who praises the anti-Semitic Louis Farakhan,and has been endorsed by Hamas, Hezbolah,Islamic Jihad,Syria,etc.

Are only blacks and Jews interested in health care and all the other items he outlined? Sarah “don’t” care??? I think he meant to say she ‘doesn’t’ care. Because she’s from Alaska and hunts?

As I see it, Palin too the high road by “taking a pass” and the idiot congressmen from Florida called Blacks and Jews Stupid. ”
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.”
I think Jews, and Blacks (who are not congressmen from Florida) can tell that stripping Moose and toting guns has nothing to do with ‘feelings’ about Blacks and Jews. But then what do you expect from a campaign that called old people who do not use computers “Out of touch” or was that specifically aimed at McCain? I know many Older People who are Smarter than Obama, that do not use computers.

Let’s face it, Obama will win the presidential race. The time for gentiles is over and the end times are here. Obama will be the next president because according to Biblical prophecy, a new charasimatic world leader will emerge to take control. He will do amazing things and perform miracles. He will miraculously recover from a mortal head wound. This new world leader will ultimately become the president of the United Nations. He will control the world economy. You will not be able to buy or sell without his mark. You cannot get the mark unless you worship and pledge alligence him. He will wipe out famine, disease and world hunger. He will create a seven-year peace agreement with Israel and her enemies. In three and half years into this agreement, this world leader will perform the Abomination of Desolation that will start Armegeddon. Who is this charismatic person? He’s Barak Hussein Obama. The Anti-Christ. If you don’t this, vote Obama for president and watch world events unfold as prophesied!

I’m surprised this even made it into the media – they must think it somehow helps Obama. So we have the continuing demonization of Palin – when is someone going to point out that something here is wrong?
For me, I stay away from mainstream media – network television, movies, newspapers and radio. I urge others to do the same.
Who would have thought it would come to this? If McCain had been in a church with a pastor as rascist as Obama’s, then he would have been chased out of the Senate. Yet Obama gets a pass – on this and on everything. Do people who are voting for him understand what they are doing? Most black activists have a huge antipathy towards jews – Hastings attitude will revert back to that once the election is over. As a jew, I really wonder at liberal, almost exclusively reform members of my faith -such self loathing and guilt! Fortunately, liberal jews have few children and in two generations reform judaism will be all but gone. Good riddance!

“Just like Jews, blacks care about affordable health care, energy independence, and the separation of church and state,” said Hastings. “And just like blacks, Jews care about equal pay for equal work, investment in alternative energy, and a woman’s right to choose.”

As for Jews, the majority of them have voted for Democrats in the past. But, this year they better stop and think twice before voting for a Democrat, who has a very questionable background regarding Islam. Can you Jews trust him to do what is best for Israel when it requires him to oppose the Muslims, which his relatives in Africa are? Do you dare gamble on the welfare and very continued existance of Israel by making Oboma the leader of the free world? I really believe most Jews are to smart to do that!!!!

Rep. Hastings is an impeached federal judge. He took $150M bribe as a judge, and the district in central Fla. that keeps electing him is the same type of folks that keep electing the D.C. mayor back into office. If you ask me, the most racist people in this country are Americans with African heritage. 95% are voting for a man that looks black. Don’t let the fact that he is half white bother you, if he looks black that must be good enough for you. Talk about a double standard. Hastings is an ass!

If only blacks knew of the true history of the Democratic Party.
“Black History Month” has been observed for 29 years, yet many blacks know little to nothing about the parties’ respective roles in advancing or hindering the civil rights of blacks. How many blacks know that following the Civil War, 23 blacks — 13 of them ex-slaves — were elected to Congress, all as Republicans? The first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois. The first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973.
Democrats, in 1854, passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This overturned the Missouri Compromise and allowed for the importation of slaves into the territories. Disgusted with the passage of this Act, free-soilers and anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties founded the Republican Party — not just to stop the spread of slavery, but to eventually abolish it.
How many blacks know that blacks founded the Texas Republican Party? On July 4, 1867, in Houston, Texas, 150 blacks and 20 whites formed the party. No, not the Black Texas Republican Party, they founded the Texas Republican Party. Blacks across Southern states also founded the Republican parties in their states.
Fugitive slave laws? In 1850, Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law. If merely accused of being a slave, even if the person enjoyed freedom all of his or her life (as approximately 11 percent of blacks did just before the Civil War), the person lost the right to representation by an attorney, the right to trial by jury, and the right to habeas corpus.
Emancipation? Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War. In 1865, the 13th Amendment emancipating the slaves was passed with 100 percent of Republicans (88 of 88 in the House, 30 of 30 in the Senate) voting for it. Only 23 percent of Democrats (16 of 66 in the House, 3 of 8 in the Senate) voted for it.
Civil rights laws? In 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed giving the newly emancipated blacks full civil rights and federal guarantee of those rights, superseding any state laws. Every single voting Republican (128 of 134 — with 6 not voting — in the House, and 30 of 32 — with 2 not voting — in the Senate) voted for the 14th Amendment. Not a single Democrat (zero of 36 in the House, zero of 6 in the Senate) voted for it.
Right to vote? When Southern states balked at implementing the 14th Amendment, Congress came back and passed the 15th Amendment in 1870, guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. Every single Republican voted for it, with every Democrat voting against it.
Ku Klux Klan? In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. As PBS’ “American Experience” notes, “In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power. The most prominent of these, the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1865.” Blacks, who were all Republican at that time, became the primary targets of violence.
Jim Crow laws? Between 1870 and 1875, the Republican Congress passed many pro-black civil rights laws. But in 1876, Democrats took control of the House, and no further race-based civil rights laws passed until 1957. In 1892, Democrats gained control of the House, the Senate and the White House, and repealed all the Republican-passed civil rights laws. That enabled the Southern Democrats to pass the Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, and so on, in their individual states.
Civil rights in the ’60s? Only 64 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act (153 for, 91 against in the House; and 46 for, 21 against in the Senate). But 80 percent of Republicans (136 for, 35 against in the House; and 27 for, 6 against in the Senate) voted for the 1964 Act.
What about the reviled, allegedly anti-black, Republican “Southern strategy”? Pat Buchanan, writing for Richard Nixon (who became the Republican Party candidate two years later) coined the term “Southern strategy.” They expected the “strategy” to ultimately result in the complete marginalization of racist Southern Democrats. “We would build our Republican Party on a foundation of states’ rights, human rights, small government, and a strong national defense,” said Buchanan, “and leave it to the ‘party of [Democratic Georgia Gov. Lester] Maddox, [1966 Democratic challenger against Spiro Agnew for Maryland governor George] Mahoney, and [Democratic Alabama Gov. George] Wallace to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.’” And President Richard Nixon, Republican, implemented the first federal affirmative action (race-based preference) laws with goals and timetables.

Hastings is concerned about the welfare of the Jews? Blacks do not have a stellar record defending the interests of the Jews, despite the fact that a number of Jews have stood with blacks through the civil rights struggles of the 60s and beyond. If you look back to comments made by characters like Farrakan, as well as Revs. Jackson & Sharpton, you will see an ugly history. Hastings’ comment was little more than a veiled attempt to pander to the Jews in joining his cause.

OK, I ADMIT IT. HASTINGS IS WRONG.
Everyone knows the Jews are to blame for screwing up the world by causing the Palestine problem.
Don’t blame Islam for trying to defend itself against Zionist aggression.
My Islamic friends are right about Israel and the Jews. Yes, we try to get the Jewish vote and often succeed, but its only to consolidate power so we can defend Islam and eventually wipe them out.
Hastings is wrong and off-message. Jessie Jackson and many other Democrats are right when they talk about blaming the Jews, “Hymie Town” etc.
We have to define the enemy of Islam – and that is the Jew with their Zionist aggression against the great Islamic religion – that will one day dominate the world. It is written, praise Allah.
For now, out of necessity my Islamic beliefs must be hidden.

Hasting is just another example of corrupt Negro politicians that harbour racist sentiments. Hastings was impeached by the Senate and removed from his office of federal judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Obama’s campaign operatives like Hastings are appealing to Negro racism. Why should mainstream America want to elect a president who accused Bill and Hillary of trying to “bamboozle” and “hoodwink” Negro Democratic voters in the South Carolina primary. Those two words were anmd are racist code words spoken in Spike Lee’s Maxcolm X by Denzel Washington and known to Negros as a way of saying that Caucasian politicians like Hillary were and are not aligned with the Negro population, but with their own political careers. The questiohn I ask is whether the nation can affoed to be governed by a Chicago Machine politician

Everyone should be ashamed that his jackass is in office… especially those in Florida.
Inventing racism in order to get people to vote *for* a black man *because* he is black, takes the cake. Apparently, after slavery and the civil rights movement, too many blacks STILL don’t know what prejudice is… and Hastings is at the top of the heap… His prejudice FOR blacks, and AGAINST whites makes him unqualified to hold office in my view.

I grew up on a Sioux reservation; So could I fairly say that he also doesn’t care about Native Americans? What’s he ever done for native americans? He doesn’t talk to them directly or even about them. Therefore he doesn’t care about them. He must hate Native Americans. What would be unfair to say about that in this context? Hastings comment is purely inflammatory, and is wrong, I don’t care what your political spectrum is. Its indefensible.

Once again, the MSM uses a political hit man to advance Obama and the radical left:
Here’s BYRON YORK’s take: a TRUE journalist:
“Should impeachment in and of itself prevent me from being chair of a committee in Congress?” asks Rep. Alcee Hastings, the man who, as a federal judge, was charged with conspiring to solicit bribes and then impeached and removed from office. In a “Dear Colleague” letter sent last week to all Democratic members of the House, Hastings, now in line to run the House Intelligence Committee, answers his own question with a resounding No.
“There are several reasons why it should not,” Hastings writes. The first and most important is that Hastings, while convicted in the Senate in 1989, was acquitted in a criminal trial on similar charges several years earlier. “It is amazing how little importance is given to this fact,” Hastings writes. “It is also baffling.”
In his letter, Hastings argues that the difference between his criminal acquittal, on the one hand, and his House impeachment and Senate conviction on the other, is crucial to understanding his case. The criminal acquittal was based on a jury’s careful examination of the evidence, Hastings says, while the impeachment proceedings against him were a purely political process. “In a jury trial, the evidence is the only consideration,” Hastings writes. “In an impeachment, politics is central.”
“Obviously, I could write a book or two about the politics of my impeachment.”
But a review of the record of Hastings’s impeachment suggests that members of the House Judiciary Committee quite consciously tried to approach the matter with the thoroughness and fairness of a criminal trial — in spite of efforts by Hastings himself to stop, slow, and undermine the process.
The procedures of the impeachment were discussed extensively at a July 26, 1988, meeting of the committee in which members unanimously voted in favor of articles of impeachment. At the meeting, Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers, who chaired the subcommittee which investigated Hastings, addressed the political issue head-on.
“It was said at times during the course of the subcommittee’s inquiry that impeachment is a political process, and that may be true, but it is also misleading,” Conyers said. “Impeachment is political in the sense that it is committed to the House of Representatives, a popularly elected and, therefore, political body. Impeachment, however, is not, nor should it be, treated in the way that we treat a piece of legislation.”
“An impeachment decision must be based upon the facts. It would be inappropriate, in my opinion, for any member of Congress to make factual determinations based upon polls or letters received or calls coming into one’s office or from any other secondary matter. “We must weigh the evidence and reach conclusions based upon what that evidence discloses, and not upon anything else.”
Conyers, who at the beginning of the proceeding said he had initially doubted the charges against Hastings case and therefore took particular pains to make sure Hastings received fair treatment, then went on to list what the committee had done. He did not want to “rubberstamp” any previous investigation, Conyers said, so he and his investigators re-reviewed everything. “We reconstructed all of the hearings, trial materials, [and] grand jury information concerning the allegations,” Conyers said.
“We obtained complete records of the proceedings involving Judge Hastings before the Eleventh Circuit Judicial Council, the transcript of Judge Hastings’ criminal trial, and the transcript of the criminal trial of [Hastings’s alleged co-conspirator] William Borders. Independent interviews of numerous persons were conducted.”
All that would have been a time-consuming process under any circumstances. But Conyers told the committee that the investigators’ work was made more difficult by Hastings. “During the course of the inquiry, the subcommittee sought certain records from the courts,” Conyers continued. “Judge Hastings, despite his assertions that he was interested in a full and complete disclosure of the facts, resisted these efforts. The matters were litigated and ultimately the committee prevailed. The delay occasioned by the litigation, however, has probably doubled the amount of time spent conducting the inquiry.”
None of what Conyers said in 1988 is consistent with Hastings’s contention that he, Hastings, was the victim of an unfair political process. Just the opposite: Conyers explained several times during the process that, because of the nature of the case, he tried to be particularly careful. “From the outset, as many on my subcommittee will attest, I did not hide my skepticism about the attempt to bring to this forum an outspoken black public official, charismatic and progressive, who appeared to be targeted based on conduct that had been heard in another arena,” Conyers explained at the meeting. “So I was more than determined in this matter to conduct a thorough and fair investigation.”
Conyers played a key role — perhaps the key role — in the House impeachment. Because Hastings was black, and because Conyers, a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, had a great interest in issues of race and justice — at one point in the committee hearing, Conyers explained that he joined the Judiciary Committee “because of my concern for the impact of racism on the judicial system” — many lawmakers looked to Conyers’s opinion as the final word on whether the charges against Hastings were valid. “Conyers was the decider,” says Terence Anderson, the University of Miami law professor who has defended Hastings for decades. “If Conyers had said no, I think the House would not have proceeded.”
But Conyers said yes. And as chairman of the investigating subcommittee, he had the authority to conduct a long and detailed inquiry into the case — an inquiry that Hastings tried to stop back in the 80s and is still trying to discredit today.

In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).
In 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. The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed, providing five votes more than the two-thirds of those present that were needed to convict. The first article accused the judge of conspiracy. Conviction on any single article was enough to remove the judge from office. The Senate vote cut across party lines, with Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont voting to convict his fellow party member, and Arlen Specter voting to acquit.[1]
The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again, but did not do so. Alleged co-conspirator, attorney William Borders went to jail again for refusing to testify in the impeachment proceedings, but was later given a full pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.[2]
Hastings filed suit in federal court claiming that his impeachment trial was invalid because he was tried by a Senate committee, not in front of the full Senate, and that he had been acquitted in a criminal trial. Judge Stanley Sporkin ruled in favor of Hastings, remanding the case back to the Senate, but stayed his ruling pending the outcome of an appeal to the Supreme Court in a similar case regarding Judge Walter Nixon, who had also been impeached and removed.[3]
Sporkin found some “crucial distinctions”[4] between Nixon’s case and Hastings’, specifically, that Nixon had been convicted criminally, and that Hastings was not found guilty by two-thirds of the committee who actually “tried” his impeachment in the Senate. He further added that Hastings had a right to trial by the full Senate.
The Supreme Court, however, ruled in Nixon v. United States that the federal courts have no jurisdiction over Senate impeachment matters, so Sporkin’s ruling was vacated and Hastings’ conviction and removal were upheld.

Last time I checked, the southern racists government policies prior to the Civil Rights Act of ’64 were enacted by Democrats. Black people, dont take what Democrats says for face value. Look into the history of racism in government in this country and you will see the majority of outspoken racists in this country were Democrats. Let not forget the history of former Exalted Cyclops KKK Democratic Senator Robert Byrd. Do some research and challenge the status-quo.

He is just carring the party’s water. Has to keep people from understanding that the Democrats are responsible for the fannie fraud and the collapse of the housing market.
It all started with Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who on January 11, 1944 nationally broadcast his state of the union address. In his speach he list right not cover in the consitution or in our bill of rights. In fact it is often refered to as the ‘new bill of rights.’ One of the rights he listed is “The right of every family to a decent home.”

In 1977 Carter past the Community Reinvestment Act designed to improve slum property and provide homes to low income families.
In 1995 Clinton revisited the act and included quotas for lending instutions that, over time, required the eliminate down payments, and even removed the necessity to determine that the loan applicant was employed.
Stick to the issues and don’t be side track by the liberal attempts to get out from under the fraud.

So, Katrina was the reps fault huh? How about the state and local governments (dems) failing completely and miserably to care for and evacuate their people – after BEING ASKED BY THE WHITE HOUSE TO EVAC. Sure FEMA dropped the ball, but it wasn’t their responsibility PRIOR to the storm – FEMA comes in after. The tragedy of New Orleans is far more on the shoulders of the corrupt democrats who have run that welfare/nanny state into the national joke it is.
Only an ignorant, partisan hack would try to claim that republicans are to blame for Katrina – come to think of it, I’m embarrassed for myself for having responded to your gross stupidity.

Alcee Hastings is a racisit because he failed to ask the Jews first before putting them on front street. Hastings is angry as McCain controlls Boy-bama, and put him on a leash by postponing the debates. Gimp Junior has to follow! C’mon junior senator, let’s go to Washington and fix the economic crisis. Come here Gimp, –aren’t ya gonna vote? Hey Boy-bama, I lead you follow –got it! The only thing missing from Obama is the little monkey hat and grinder box, but he’s got the ears down pat…

Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings said the Jews have a problem with Obama. GET OVER IT, he said – Jews are just like Blacks, but their not like Mexicans, Indians, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, etc. In 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.
This guy is really reliable – just think ABC believes he is reliable.

Another typical racist comment from the Liberal Left. The only party talking about race are the Democrats. Left wing Libs are so vile and full of hate!
I feel sorry for you, walking around with your head full of hatred every moment of day. Liberalism is morally bankrupt. Democrats for years have conspired to keep poor people dependent of the government for handouts. The greatest example of their racism is their stance against school choice and vouchers. The average inner city high school has a 65% drop out rate. Their only hope for a good life is access to a quality education. But the Liberals try to extinguish all attempts at providing vouchers denying them an education. Trillions have been spent since 1960 to eradicate poverty yet it is worse than ever. Liberal doctrine tells the poor, oooh don’t worry we’ll take care of you. If inner city children had a chance at a quality education perhaps they would break out of the cycle of endless poverty. But, the abject poor are a big constituency of the Liberals. They want to keep them poor so they keep voting Democrat enabling them to stay on welfare. Dear Liberals, you are the party of racism, hatred, no individual responsibility, and hopelessness.

And of course, the beautiful thing we’re passing on to our future generations, thanks to the nazi-like lack of media attacking on this, is that it’s okay to be a racist pig bigot if you happen to be voting for the ‘right side’…..

Fill in the blank:
“Florida Democratic Congressman __________ Alcee Hastings…”
If you said “and disgraced, impeached, corrupt former federal judge,” then congratulations–you got the key fact about this story that the author omitted.
Do you hear that sound? Neither do I, and it’s the sound of an outcry demanding an apology. Why isn’t the outcry there? Because Hastings’ vile racism and hatred speaks for itself. There’s no need to point it out.
When Democrats want to cast Republicans as racist, they have to moan and wail for an apology just to get attention, because the racism just isn’t there.
By the way, this guy was a judge? A judge in the United States??? How embarrassing for all of us!
This is exactly why the Democrats have got to go. They offend and insult America in every possible way, racism included, and then they demand that we vote for them anyway. No more. I’m voting all Republican this year.

Actually, it’s true about blacks and the Democrat party. With the changes in legislation and attitudes in the 1960′s blacks had a real opportunity to become active, affluent participants in society, instead of being mired in poverty, crime and despair. What happened?
The Democrat party happened, that’s what. The Democrat party, ever the immoral cynics and users without concience, paid off black leaders, and ensured that blacks became more and more dependant on government aid. In order to do this, they destroyed the black family, then they paid off black leaders until the leaders became more interested in being good Democrats than in helping their own people.
As part of the strategy, the Democrats through that Massachusetts drunkard and murderer, Ted Kennedy changed the laws to ensure that huge numbers of immigrants poured into the country. So, the stepping stone jobs traditionally held by blacks were taken by immigrants desperate for work. In this atmoshere, blacks lost all their bargaining power and became ever more dependant on government. Democrats made sure that they demonized the party of Lincoln, making sure that blacks could only look to one party. The cycle of dependancy made it to the next generation, and the the unholy alliance was formed – blacks would stay dependant on government which meant poverty and ignorence, and black leaders continued to be paid off by Democrats.
And what have blacks got out of the almost 100% support for Democrats? Just about nothing! Having made sure that blacks would never vote for a Republican, Democrat leaders could afford to do nothing at all for blacks -the Democrat leaders laughed all the way to the voting booth. What did the “black President” Bill CLinton do for blacks? I’ll tell you – nothing. His one and only accomplishment was when he inadvertantly was forced to adopt welfare reform, but that was only at the behest and insistence of Republicans.
It’s sad to see how blacks have been utterly mistreated and ignored not only by Democrats, but by their own leaders. Or rather the leaders that a pro-Democrat media has created for them. What race or ethnic group would want someone like Al Sharpton as their spokesman? He’s a repulsive con artist! But the media turns to him, for obvious reasons.
And of course, that same pro-Democrat media is responsible for creating and extending the destructive rap/hip hop culture which benefits the few and enslaves the rest, condemning them to a lifetime of failure.
And the wonder of it is that black America continues to be blind to the fact that Democrats have and continue to use, abuse, mislead and misinform them. While every other ethnic group climbs up the ladder of affluence, and understands the need to have both parties seeking their vote, Democrat leaders know that the key to full support by blacks is to make sure they stay dependant on government. And that means destruction of the family and no jobs. Look, the Democrats have been in control of Congress most of the time over the last few decades – what have they done? Answer – nothing. Yet in two short years of control of Congress Republicans had freed millions from the cycle of welfare dependency.
So…what have blacks rec’d from Democrats in return from nearly 100% support? Answer – nothing, except for a few corrupt leaders, their support has been cheap because they don’t split their vote, which any corporation knows is the best way to play politics.
I really don’t understand it, not at all.

Mr. Hastings should think before he speaks. Most fundamentalist Christian churches believe in “dispensational premillennialism and as such believe that the Jews are God’s “chosen people” Gen. 12. Gov. Palin’s church probably teaches this and would be very supportive of policies favorable to the Jews.

Leave it to a black man to promote racism. If Mrs. Palin were black and this congressman were white, there would be an uproar in the black community.
In fact, is it just me or does it seem that the only group of people promoting racial sterotyping and bigotry (even using words that only “their” group can use), is in fact the black community? With leaders like Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright, it is easy to see why black people are still denigrated. And now this “congressman” issues a statement defaming Mrs. Palin without a shred of evidence and only his own hatred of the white community.
If the black community wants to end racism, then they need to stop promoting racism from within.

Didn’t Sarah Palin have to repeat to dense Charlie Gibson, who kept asking the same question of her over and over again about Israel’s security: “I don’t think we should judge what Israel has to do for her own security.”
Doesn’t sound like she hates Jews to me!
Jews who care about Israel’s security from Iran and other Muslim countries which hate it are crazy to vote for Obama. I just heard that Biden said to a group of Jewish activists on Monday that they wouldn’t be able to count on an Obama administration to save Israel if it was attacked.

When a minority utters racist comments, the liberal media never calls for that person’s resignation, nor holds them accountable. After all when a minority is being racist they’re just “telling it like it is” or “defending their poor, oppressed selves”.

Hey logikal1.
What source are you quoting from when you are talking about Sarah Palin’s voting record. Did you insert the word “poor” in front of the word children. If so, are you saying all parents of poor people are black. Sounds pretty racist to me.
Are you a parent?, logikal1. I am sure that Ms. Palin taught her daughter that it is wrong to have pre marital sex. But as parents we know that our kids don’t always listen to us. But at least she is supporting her duaghter and has welcomed the father into her family. Which is more than I can say for parents who either kick their daughters out of the house or force them to kill their unborn babies.
The ACLU the most pro American organiztion in the country. You must be joking. They have Communist origins. I suggest you read the book “Trial and Error” by George Grant to see what the ACLU is REALLY all about.
True to form when the Democrats have nothing of substance they resort to name calling or mud slinging.
Guess who was against the civil rights in the 60′s. The Dems. That is the party that a majority of African Americans cling to. And all the Democratic party does is make them dependant on government instead of making it themselves. They keep telling them they are victims to get their vote.
It’s the same thing every year from the Dems. They pit class against class and race against race. Obama and Alcee are the same way. This is CHANGE?? I think not.

Hastings does not speak for anyone. If you attribute his comments to Sen. Obama simply because they are both black then you are no better than he is. Hastings he has about as much to do with the Obama campaign as the man in the moon. Hastings endorsed Clinton and campaigned with her. So why not attribute the comments to her? I think we all know the answer.

Typical classless lefty garbage. How many republicans were arrested at the Dem convention in Denver? How many republicans bring up race in this election? Yeah….that’s what I thought…none. Obama ought to be disqualified just on the basis of the behavior of his followers.

Consider the source: Hastings is an impeached and convicted federal judge accused of accepting a $150,000 bribe for imposing a lenient sentence.
Hastings is not only corrupt, he’s also a racist.

Obama is not a muslim. Never was. So I guess you are fooled but be the right wing.
Palin hunting and skinning a moose does not have anything to do with being a racist. Being a Pentecostal does. Everyone of them I have worked with or known personally was just as outspoken about their racist feelings as your average Klan or Black Panther member. THAT does concern me.

You have to hand it to the Democrats. How is it that they have fooled so many blacks for so long? What have the Dems ever done for blacks that they receive such blind allegiance? I can only think of unregulated welfare which has served to keep them enslaved in a culture of poverty and violence and 2nd class status the world over. I have traveled the world over and don’t see such bondage to a second class mentality as here. That mindset was given to the black community and re-inforced by Liberals.

give me a break! wtf?!?!
my uncle loves to hunt and is a member of the NRA. has been for over 40 years. many of my family members from the south hunts. hunting (and fishing) were always a priority when there was free time.
guess what, he’s black. does that mean he hates his own race too? there are many blacks who enjoy hunting. way back in the day where there “was” racism and segregation many blacks; especially in the south, did their own hunting and were very skilled at it.
i remember my grandfather in his old age always looked forward to hunting and eating their catch that evening – this INCLUDED moose.
seriously, i hate to say this but, i can wait until these old “let’s hold on to the 60′s” so-called black leaders die off. then, our country can really move forward. all they do is keep us behind … way behind! idiots!

Is there ANYONE left in the Democratic party or media with a shred of personal integrity, much less intelligence? Democrats should be highly peeved by Hastings’ comments, not only for his race baiting, but for his condescension in believing that such an asinine statement will galvanize the “base” that he sees as stupid and easily manipulated, just as the uber-arrogant, self-important Joe Biden does. And after reading some of these comments, they may be right. Very few of these socialist neo-hippies can even string a lucid sentence together!
As they say, when your enemy is eating himself, pass the salt and hand him a fork.
The Democrats are only interested in one thing…VOTES! Listen to them campaigning. Count how many “buzz words” they use while saying absolutely nothing of substance to intentionally create an emotional response. Your entire party is comprised of lawyers (liars). What else would one expect? If you take out all of the buzz words like “hope” and “change” then you have senseless ramblings.

Rep. Hastings speaks for himself. Maybe he fashions himself to be a spokesman for Obama, the DNC and other African Americans but that’s the farthest thing from the truth.
Don’t automatically assume that others think the same way, simply because there is some kind of association between them; by association I mean race, skin color, political party, etc.
Americans love pointing the finger at anyone they can based on rumors or the ignorant talk of others. Don’t be so quick to jump to arms. Evaluate the source before making judgment.

I for one would like to see the documentary proof that this clown uses to prove that she has does not care for what happens to Jews or Blacks. I’m an independent and it’s been my judgement that the only racists in this election have been located on the Democratic side of this election. Maybe clowns like this ought to be spending more time working with African American young students and making sure that they stay in school and get an education. For too long they’ve been content to play the victim and I for one am tired of hearing that we need to plow more money into inner city schools when all we get for the investment is pathetic, abysmal graduation rates.

Well, for someone who sat for 20 yrs in a church where hate was use as a call to arm, I guess he isn’t been hypocritical — He is just living what he believed.
The bottom line is, Looking at the background of both the Clinton’s and of McCain’s, there is no evidence whatsoever of racial tenet but, can we really say that about Obama? given his associations and the kinds of people he surround himself with!.

Unbelievable, this just goes to prove that the Democrat’s will say or do anything to win this election. I am personally fed up with this stuff. Because I don’t want to vote for Obama I am a racist, please there are people women and men who are black I would vote for because we agree on issues that are important to me. While Obama isn’t even close on the issues that are important to me and my family. Not because of his race but because I don’t agree with him on everything.

The Palin team should be applauded for not commenting. Such low IQ ebonic rants don’t deserve a response.
This convicted criminal supports a very sound trend by black “leaders” who find themselves destroyed by corruption. The percentage is very high just like their incarceration rates and school and IQ scores.
Sorry if it sounds harsh but the facts are just that.

Alcee’s comments are absolutely deplorable. What kind of jackass gets away with making such lie and slander?
From everything I read, seen, or heard of about the Governor, she is a very nice person.
Hastings’ own words show him to be a very racist individual. In other words, this trait is a resume enhancer in the Democrat Party.

“Palin hunting and skinning a moose does not have anything to do with being a racist. Being a Pentecostal does.”…Witch Hunta.
Ever heard of Black Liberation Theology? Ever heard the quote “While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism.” or “If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him”?
Do you really want to bring their respective religions into this?
Posted by: ryukyu | September 25, 2008, 2:36 pm 2:36 pm
Hastings sounds like a complete jackass. So, everyone he hunts moose is against blacks and Jews??
I believe that race will be a key determinant in who gets elected. There will be many Americans who won’t vote for Obama because he IS black, and there will be many who will vote for him for that same reason. I know of many black Christian evangelicals who are campaigning for Obama in spite of their political differences because it is such a momentous occasion to have a black man in the White House. While I understand this sentiment, I certainly don’t agree with it as I do not trust Obama as he is such a slick orator with many dealings with nefarious people.

Is there ANYONE left in the Democratic party or media with a shred of personal integrity, much less intelligence? Democrats should be highly peeved by Hastings’ comments, not only for his race baiting, but for his condescension in believing that such an asinine statement will galvanize the “base” that he sees as stupid and easily manipulated, just as the uber-arrogant, self-important Joe Biden does. And after reading some of these comments, they may be right. Very few of these socialist neo-hippies can even string a lucid sentence together!
As they say, when your enemy is eating himself, pass the salt and hand him a fork.
The Democrats are only interested in one thing…VOTES! Listen to them campaigning. Count how many “buzz words” they use while saying absolutely nothing of substance to intentionally create an emotional response. Your entire party is comprised of lawyers (liars). What else would one expect? If you take out all of the buzz words like “hope” and “change” then you have senseless ramblings.

The fact that Dems on this board are refusing to acknowledge the vulgarity of these comments is all you need to know. With Obama/McCain deadlocked at 46 in the midst of the country’s worst financial crisis since 1929, this race is effectively over. If Obama can’t gain separation with all of these dynamics working in his favor — the economy, Iraq, attacks on Palin, etc. — there’s no chance that he does so in the remaining 40 days. McCain will win by at least 5 points and perhaps more depending on the debate results.

This is why the Dems have a donkey as their mascot. Just a bunch of jackasses uttering worthless smeers because they know the liberal media, ABC included, will report.

Do you ever wonder how you are better off if Obama is elected? How many times have you ever been better off if a democratic is in office? How many promises are you told but never happens? Its time to wake up to all the lies you are being told that the world will be all rosy if Obama is elected. He could care less about you or me. When a person can only talk about himself and say I am the one we’ve been waiting for. He is talking about himself not you or me. He just wants your vote so he can be the greatest in his own mind. His moto should be vote for me now I’ll screw you later. Wake up people How do you think he is going to pay for all these programs and what do you think he’s going to cut. Your not going to get any more then you already have. You may even have less and most likely will. Its time do something for your country and not expect your country to always be doing something for you in hand outs. I’m pretty sure Obama has never did a hard days work in his life. So he definitely doesn’t connect with me. Its certainly not what our country needs is a lazy ass do nothing president and congress.

All this is actually really scary. This kind of racial dividing just to be elected for the sake of power only will lead more and more tension until something breaks and leads to unfortunately, revolution. The largest economic crisis in a 1/2 century, possible war with Iran, and the petty debate on climate change aren’t helping matters much either. We are at a very dangerous point in the history of the U.S.
And don’t forget. If this does lead to revolution….guess who has all the guns – The same people voting for McCain-Palin.

It appears there are dozens of Obama supporters who must think that Jimmy Carter was the greatest ever President of the United States. Obama’s tax and financial plan statements are straight from the Carter policies that brought us 10-12% annual inflation, gas lines, 15% home mortgage rates and international laughingstock status for his ill-conceived military blunder in Iran. Obama’s foreign policy statements are direct descendants of George McGovern’s “I’ll go on my knees and beg for their forgiveness” statements vis a vis Vietnam. Obama represents the very worst traits of these two deeply flawed and hopelessly failed politicians and deserves to be dumped on the ash heap of history along with them. Now I will wait for the (usual) lack of spelling and full of vitriol (that means hate) responses. When you have no point, call names.

To all the Jews still reading these comments…you know, Hitler believed in not only a woman’s right to choose, but a government’s right to choose. They chose who should live and die, no matter if they were in the womb or many years older. Beware of sharing this desire to choose who dies with Mr. Hastings. Also, European and ex-USSR countries also believe very strongly in separation of church and state…and do you think Jews are more protected here or there?? Just think about it, then answer Mr. Hastings. God help us.

And even if you can make up something that you can twist and turn into a “fact” remember, Obama’s mother was a seventeen year old unmarried pregnant teenager. Whether you like him or not he at least had the class to make that point public. You should spend some time searching and obtaining things you are missing. Like facts and class.

If you want racism to go away, stop bringing up race. Stop playing the “race card”.
Conservatives have taken tough stances on terrorism and on the Iranian threat. Liberals have been wanting to negotiate and compromise, instead.
Most conservatives want to preserve the Jewish homeland of Israel. Most liberals do not.
It should be obvious which side better represents Jewish interests.
It is frankly a mystery to me why so many people in the Jewish community side with liberals.

Especially when I brought up the fact that John F Kennedy was an avid hunter and fisherman.

This is one of the reasons I left the democratic party, for idiotic statements like Hastings. The democratic party using race baiting, what a surprise. The media has already said that 1/3 of the democrats are racist and won’t vote for Obama. Why isn’t the media all over this story on Hastings, we all no why and if you don’t, you haven’t been paying attention. That statement by Hasting is only for folks who don’t pay attention and sheep that believe everything their party says. I’m so disgusted in this crap. I’m now a proud black republican that will not vote for Obama because of issues, not race.

This poor excuse of a man (Hastings) gives the black race a bad name! Impeached for being a currupted judge and he cannot even speak correctly. It doesn’t surprise me that he’s from the sad state of Florida. PLEASE! Why are democrats such winny babies? Hasting is an imbrassment to his profession, his party, but most of all, to his race.

Talk about Racism, with 97% of the Blacks supporting Obamfart couldn’t that be called Racism??? Don’t called “Whitey” racist, if there are any truly any Racists in this Country is is without question the Black Race!!!

retort to “just observe” and “J.R.” – Oh yeah, let’s talk about judgment.. so McCain lacks judgment? Boy o boy, did you open a can of worms! Nobama’s good judgment is evidenced by his sitting and listening to the racist, ranting, anti-American Rev Wright for 20 years! Nobama’s associations with unrepentent terrorist bomber of fed bldgs, Bill Ayers who Nobama calls his “friend”, How ’bout Tony Rezko and the corrupt Chicago political machine? How about his shadow economic advisor who bilked the Freddy and Fanny of $90million? Nobama’s ties to Louis Farrakhan? How about Nobama’s rigging of his Senatorial election? Nobama is corrupt, totally lacking of good judgment, and totally inept and totally inexperienced.Who ever heard of him two years ago? How about his diversion of $$ as a Chicago Community Organizer? The list goes on and on! When is America going to see through this “empty suit?” He is transparent with no substance to his words. A great speaker (except when he loses his teleprompter)- “change, change, change.. he never defines his “change.” If Obama gets elected, it will be the beginning of the end for this country as a private enterprise and capitalistic society. He is a Marxist socialist/communist. But he is the Messiah! He is going to save the world by eliminating poverty! That is as ludicrous as his suggestion of checking the air in your tires as a way to solve the energy crisis. What he and his wife’s plan to indoctrinate our youth in socialism while paying them $1800 per month? A scary, scary, scary man! What is frightening to me is that there are so many gullible, uninformed people in the country actually supporting this man of such little experience. Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden put together – they have none. zip. If Nobama gets in, open up your wallets, boys! We will all get to keep 20 cents on the dollar to support his ludicrous trillion dollar programs.

It is sad to think that anyone would have voted for a race-baiting, convicted criminal like Hastings. If this is Obama’s constituency, we are witnessing the further dumbing down of the electorate. How can they blame this on Bush. Oh yeah, everything is Bush’s fault. Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton were among the three worst Presidents we ever had, but I know that their efforts to keep blacks dependent on the state had nothing to do with the survival of racism in this country.

Why do people take the time to comment on this story about something totally irrelevant in order to tell me how I should think? Can’t you make your own message boards or have you found that no one visits them and your only purpose in life is to be heard.
I am not pointing you out as one of these people Dave, just thought that your comment was the only one worth mentioning before getting to my point. Make your own decisions and stop trying to sway others, or just go into the media. We need more of that. No research – just biased opinions without regard for impartial reporting.

A Black, a Jew and a Moose are sitting at a back table in a bar in Anchorage. The door opens and Sarah walks in, goes up to the bar, leans her rifle against the bar and orders a beer. The Black and the Jew quietly get up and leave out the back door. The Moose continues to drink his ale. (Moosehead brand)
Another customer asks the barkeep, “Why isn’t the Moose leaving, isn’t he scared too!” The barkeep replied, ” He isn’t worried, it’s not Moose season”
This puts it all together and explains what Hastings was trying to do. Democratic racist scare tactics.

Pelosi voted to impeach
BUT……
After the 2006 United States House of Representatives elections, Hastings attracted controversy after it was reported that incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might appoint him as head of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Pelosi reportedly favored Hastings instead of the ranking Democrat Jane Harman due to political differences and support for Hastings by the Congressional Black Caucus.[6]
On November 28, 2006, Pelosi announced that Hastings would not be the Committee’s chairman,[7] and later she chose Silvestre Reyes instead. While Congressman Hastings was passed over to chair the committee he became chair of a sub-committee.

As a Jew Congressman Hastings sure isn’t speaking for me. What a stupid statement! I’m supposed to have a problem with guns..the first thing Hitler did was round up guns under national gun control. And some how hunting is anti Jewish? Get a life. Like I said I’m a Jew. I served in the Army..spent numerous times in Israel watching courageous Israel Defense Forces guard the tiny state carrying Uzi’s and Galils. No that statement is nuts. Besides Sarah rocks, vote McCain!

Only sad that I don’t get to vote (being an out-of-stater) against this racist.
But, I am thankful for everything this person says: He draws more votes to the McCain / Palin ticket every time he opens his mouth!

All this tells me is that Alcee Hastings thinks Obama has a problem with Jewish voters. He is right!
As for his statements about Palin; was the interview done at a bar?
His conclusion about hunting, Jewish people and Black people is a total non sequitur.
Florida has elected some interesting people! No wonder congress is such a mess! Some of the congressman appear to be unable to think coherently. By the way congress has a much lower approval rating than the President! In August the approval rating for congress was at the lowest ever. No wonder they are always on the attack. Congress is trying to take the focus off themselves and put it on the president! Did Alcee lose his retirement when he was impeached for corruption and removed from office? I think the vote in Congress was to remove him from the Federal Bench was 413 to 3. Oh well a federal judge being guilty of bribery and racketeering aren’t so bad when compared to hunting moose!

The Media will not help you here. They have their own concerns.
But, please remind your friends, family, and community of these statements.

I actually live in a house…though I have to go to my igloo to use the internet. Sarah Palin is as much in touch with the world as anyone living in Florida or Idaho or Maine. We are part of the USA if you recall. Those who fail to see how illogical Hastings is are the ones who need to wake up and see a new perspective. Your view is much too small.

That is a paradox that i am growing very tired of. I have voted for both black and white politicians (phila) in my many years and I find good and bad in each.

This whole Obama experiment is beginning to unwind. If a a truly qualified candidate were fielded by the democrats then the clearly insane musings of a person who has obviously lost his mind would not be evident. The fact that he is black would not be continually brought up by Obama’s backers if it weren’t one of his qualifications. Make no mistake it is only the democrats that are making the issue of race an actual issue. And for those who say it is an issue because there are white people who will refuse to vote for a black candidate, I say look at the opposite situation as well for clarity. While it is true that there are putrid racist elements who would vote only for their own skin color, they reside in both parties. It is not only republican or democrat cross to bear. That being said, a truly able candidate who survives on experience (whether black or white) would be identified by his ideas and platform and not by his race. More and more ludicrous statements like those of Alcee Hastings are being uttered by the cool-aide drinkers of the far left. While the right has its fair share of those who like the taste of fruit punch as well, there doesnt seem to be this hysterical pitch to those voices (at least for now). And to those who will undoubtedly gloss of my actual words here so as to simply declare me racist, Had somebody such as Alan Keyes, or of the caliber of Michael Steele (with a bit more experience than he currently has)been fielded by the republican side I would be confident in supporting the candidacy. As it were I will most likely check the Bob Barr option should my state see fit to allow him on the ballot.

So, the debates SHOULD be on for Friday night.
After that, no one in this nation will wonder what kind of idiot Obama is. They will in fact know it for themselves. Obama stuttered over Hillary. And McCain is twice the debater of that woman. And there will be no teleprompters for Obama to feed off.

There’s been blatant media bias throughout the campaign. What concerns me is that the media is continually trying to shore up Obama by trading on “white guilt” while at the same time saying zilch about the obvious fact that black racism (i.e., “racial pride”) accounts for the overwhelming black support for Obama. It certainly isn’t their agreement with him on issues. How can reporters working in the national media justify the double standard they use every day – one for white candidate and another for black candidate? Is it that Barack Obama is their affirmative action candidate? Please – how about a little soul searching and honesty? Or are you as twisted and souless as you appear to be?

When are Afro-Americans going to wake up? Leaders like Hastings are keeping them enslaved to government handouts. When more than half of AAs are born out of wedlock, it’s easy to see why. The American welfare system rewards them for it. Their leaders give them a handout instead of a hand up with the promise of more. They’re brainwashed into thinking that conservative values are racist when the Republicans were the ones responsible for the civil rights act, the emancipation proclamation, ect, but still they vote 90% democratic. Most urban areas are dominated by the democrats with no sign of improvement. Black Republicans like Clarence Thomas, Michael Steel, Alan Keyes, and J.C. Watts, and others are ridiculed and called, “Uncle Toms”. At the same time Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharp ton and Jessie Jackson are getting rich by race baiting.
On the other hand Vietnamese immigrants have accomplished more in the last thirty years than blacks have in 140 years. Perhaps it’s because they are more self-reliant with strong family values among other conservative ideals.

Dear Senator Obama,
You were so eloquent when you declared that it’s time we discuss race in America.

Senator Obama, please make a public statement damning the words of Alcee Hastings. Senator Obama, please folloe up on your promise not do long agao, to start having the discussion on race in America.

Alcee Hastings- what an embarrassment to the U.S. judicial system. I really thought he was still in jail.
It’s amazing, and reading through the comments on this completly left wing site. I agree We should make the news casters show which party they are for.
The reverse racisim is very alive and being tolerated, Why? If it were a white person that had made these completly wrong coments they would be CRUCIFIED.
I see it all the time. White people need to get a better, honest version of Al Sharpton.
And yes the media is partly to blame. Look at the stations that tolerate and report this trash. Democratic, liberal, probably, very rich white people. They allow it to be reported about their own race. At least most blacks stick togather. With me as an exception. I find out the facts befor I support anything. Black people don’t care if it’s right or wrong, if the opposer is white they will automatically jump to the black persons defense. Kind of how I think Obama will run the country if and I seriously doubt gets elected.
I’m a black woman! Come on people wake up. Why would any educated, well informed person especially a white person vote for Obama? He clearly has underLYING issues with the white race. Vote by facts and accomplishments. Not by the color of someones skin.
It’s a shame our country is headed in the direction it is and has been since the Clinton years. When are these representatives of our country going to be held accountable for their actions.
I will vote McCain/Palin and I’m a middle class, black, single mother of two that owns my home. I haven’t and will never play the race card. I have worked for everything I have. I don’t expect a thing from the government. I’m not the typical sterotypical black woman. I’m a republican. If my brothers and sisters would wake up and see how Obama and his posse were playing to our demographics they would vote for clearly the better canidate here John McCain!

Kevin: I talk to people of color.”Black” quite often!! I love them as a “brother” as any white person! Many are almost hopelessly caught in “racism”! (After all whom ever points it out to them?? And if they are racists they are never called “racists”!) Or rarely anyway! When I was in the army, myself and a black Sargent went to town together (drinking and bar hopping.) After (before driving to the base) we went to a MDs for coffee! He start telling me the sob stories about how black people suffered under slavery ect! I just smiled as he went on and on! I said well it WAS TERRIBLE John but that was a long time ago! And you never suffered from it directly! (But he was trying to impress upon me of the “race” of people that blacks suffered under.) I said to him are you trying to MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY about what some white skinned people did? John I never owned slaves,my parents never did,my grandparents never did ect! I said I believe what MLK said,do not judge by the COLOR of SKIN but by the CONTENT of ones CHARECTOR! I do not “feel guilty” about what some white skinned people did!! As you would not want others to judge you as being like some black murder right?? He then looks down and smiles real big! Shook his head and say “dam” most “white folks” fall for that stuff! (I did not remind him that last statement could be viewed as “racists”!! Oh well he did get the first point made!! (I THINK!)

Why do people think OB has to come out against this statement. Hasting is not part of his campain, and does not speak for him.
Why would he have to take responisibility for evey negitive comment made about McCain/Palin. If it came from his people, then yes, he should. But from an outsider just looking for some press time?

It is amazing how these PATHETIC RACISTS try to like “Jews” and/or “Hispanics” and/or “Brown colored” to their FALSE RACIST claims about white people and/or Palin (in this case).
If the “African Americans” (is anyone else SICK of the “hypens” – why not be Americans?) can’t stand up to THEIR OWN RACISTS, who spew these SLANDEROUS LIES, then don’t cry/complain about it when there are other RACISTS comments made.
Palin is a GOOD PERSON/AMERICAN and these attacks should be niped in the bud and Americas should NOT tolerate it.
OBAMA is a COWARD if he does not put an end to it as well. Nuff said.

What a joke. I wish there were more women with backbone like Sarah Palin.

Hastings is exactly why African-Americans have not made better of their American experience. Racism exists, but is not as significant as some blacks like to throw out there. Hastings is useless to the black community, and very worthless to everyone else. Hastings needs to address the black community’s own problems…. the racism thing is a lazy excuse for lazy politicians like Hastings.

Do people who support Obama believe that most McCain supporters are represented by the ones who believe affirmatively of the first question?

They all want become president to acquire POWER and to be in a position to whore themselves out to the corporations who will pay them the most after their 4-8 years are up. Mccain and obama took $$ from freddie and fannie, obviously they both wanted whatever man wins the presidency to support their lameass business ethics and BAIL THEM OUT whenever they need it.

This is only the beginning folks. I’ve been saying this for months ,but mark my words, come the middle of next month if the polls are close the dems and the MSM will all be saying “If you’re not voting for Obama then you must be racist” It’s already begun- get ready. I’m an independednt that leans moderate to liberal socially but I am not willing to be strong armed with these kinds of tactics.

Now, this is the third or fourth prominent black politician to play the race card, along with the ignoramus reporter in Philiadelphia who used the term “race war.”
So is this “black”mail? If I don’t vote for Obama, I ought to expect a thousand angry black faces at my door with baseball bats, chains, Saturday Night Specials, and AK-47′s?
Perhaps I am immune to threats. Perhaps I am able to protect myself regardless of what tantrums others throw.
Alcee Hastings is a criminal. He is a shining example of those he represents.
C’mon, folks, make my day.

Palin’s husband is a member of the Alaska Independence Party which wants to vote about whether Alaska should be a state in the USA. Palin, while not a member, attends meetings, like their annual meeting, and tells them they are great.
I’d call her, and them traitors. Since when is it OK for a potential VP/Pres to advocate/support separatist groups that want to break off from the UNITED STATES and take the gas and oil on that land with them.
That’s enough for me not to vote for her. By the way…. she also belongs to a splinter evangelical group that is doing what it can to bring about the end of days!!! Phew — I would say that’s another reason she won’t get my vote.
At least Obama knows what the Constitution says and is intent on upholding it, which now that America is destitute is the only thing of value that we have left–no thanks to self-serving Republicans like Palin (PS. She comes from a privileged background… and doesn’t shoot dinner to save money–she does it just for fun.)

Hey Kevin H, It’s not about racism. Obama’s idealogy is much closer to marxism than any other American leader in our history. From his father Baraak senior (failed socialist Kenyian leader), his mentor Frank Marshal Davis (card carrying communist), mentor John McKnight (communist who recomended him to Harvard), partner Bill Ayers (communist radical), teacher Saul Alinsky (communist community organizer)and pastor Jeremiah Wright (Black Liberation Theologist), to just mention a few. Guilt by association? If a majority of his past (or present)associates are communist/socialists, then it’s very apparent he holds the same ideals. Why not ask Obama to release his writings at Harvard. What’s he hiding? I know you won’t take my word for it so do your own reserach and learn the truth.

Speaking as a black man, hastings is a grade A J”ackass”! I guess using hastings logic then that would mean that blacks and jews aren’t hunters and never should be? So when John Kerry went hunting four years ago during his 2004 presidential campaign, did the reason he went hunting was because he didn’t care much for “black and jewish” people? No wonder I can’t stand the CBC. Instead of letting blacks come to their own conclusions on issues, the CBC has to lie and put out insane rhetoric to manipulate the very people they claim they are looking out for. Yeah whatever.

You liberals tout “family values,” yet you drip with hypocrisy with your sheer hatred for Sarah Palin and her family. You’ve probably never even spent five minutes alone in a room with her, yet you loathe the woman and criticize her teenage daughter. Your SNL skits all but accuse her husband of impregnating her daughter. How low can you stoop? What I don’t understand though is that you can then cry that you want condoms in our middle and high schools. Isn’t that a contradiction?

Hastings, you should hope that this country doesn’t get violent — congress just might be targeted for “tar & feathering” — but just for grins, maybe you already know that…impeached little b****.
A pardon may let you work in the Government, but it doesn’t absolve you of your grotesque indiscretions behind the bench — you should kill yourself.

I have news for some of you knuckleheads, being conservative does not mean that you are a racist any more than being liberal suggests that you are not racist.
It’s time that we all drop the partisan bickering and look to elect men and women that seriously care about addressing the problems we face as a nation. There is nothing wrong with having different views as long as you are intellectually honest and fairly debating those views to promote the interests of our country, not some particular party.
This November, I suggest that we all vote to replace all hyper partisan politicians regardless of party affiliation. Together the citizens of this nation can clear out the self serving Congressmen and Senators that put themselves and their party before our country.

McCain grand standing by going to DC. Let’s see, is he not a senator? Is he not getting paid by we tax payers to perform a duty to us? He decides he should do his job and Obama, who is also a senator, berates him. This is not an issue that he can vote “present” for. More importantly either one of them will be saddled with this bill, would it not be in their best interests to become highly involved with one of the mosts important issues confronting America’s future. This was just another indication of Obama’s irresponsible decisions that reflects his pasts decisions and projects what his future irresponsible action could be. I know that his blind followers will not be able to deduce the obvious, they are blind.

“Just like Jews, blacks care about affordable health care, energy independence, and the separation of church and state,” said Hastings. “And just like blacks, Jews care about equal pay for equal work, investment in alternative energy, and a woman’s right to choose.”
Because Jews and blacks are the only people in the U.S. that care about these issues… stupid politics.

In 1988, Alcee Hastings, then a federal judge, was impeached by the U.S. House for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413-3. 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. Hastings was removed from office but not barred from further seeking elective office. You have the result now.

Has the word “racist” been redefined yet? Evidently it only applies to whites, generally men, yet in the case of Sarah Palin, since she isn’t approved by left-wing feminists, she can be called a racist. An impeached African American judge who equates hunting with racial antipathy toward African Americans and Jews, apparently is not considered a racist because he is neither a white male or Sarah Palin. And essentially if 97% of African Americans chose to vote for Obama, that fact has nothing to do with racism, although if 30% of white Democrats choose not to vote for Obama, that fact is patently racist according to the Associated Press . . . which is obviously a nonpartisan, objective, observer.

If we have a serious economic downturn ahead of us, or another serious attack on our people I would much prefer that

It shouldn’t surprise people that Hastings said what he said. Like many of his kind he sincerely believes that what he said is true, like so many of Obama’s followers. Listen and see how many congregants of Obama’s old church cheered, applauded and jumped up and down when Rev. Wright God damnned America and blamed the US for afflicting so many blacks with the AIDS virus. Some of these people are real idiots.

In a revelation tying Barack Obama even closer to radical community organizing, we learned that a renowned disciple of the late socialist agitator Saul “The Red” Alinksy wrote a letter of recommendation for Obama when he applied to Harvard Law School.
Obama approached Northwestern University professor John L. McKnight – a loyal student of Alinsky’s radical tactics – to pen the Harvard letter in the late 1980s. McKnight serves on the boards of radically anti-American groups in Chicago, including one accused of thuggery.
Obama in his 2006 memoir alludes to McKnight – whom he describes as an “older man who had been active in the civil rights efforts in Chicago in the sixties” – but stops short of identifying him by name. He referred to him only as “my friend.”
But McKnight, who enforced affirmative action for Attorney General Robert Kennedy, was far more than that to young Obama. He helped train him in the agitation tactics of Alinsky, who wrote the organizing manual, “Rules for Radicals,” which he dedicated to mankind’s “very first radical, Lucifer”.
The Chicago-based Gamaliel Foundation lists McKnight as a board director. From1985 to 1988, Obama worked for a subsidiary of Gamaliel, where he cut his teeth as a community organizer on Chicago’s South Side. McKnight and Gamaliel, which was founded on Alinsky’s principles, provided training for the budding radical.
Before leaving for Harvard, Obama wrote an article published in a journal titled, “After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois,” in which he praised McKnight and his organizing strategies. He also decried “institutional racism” and called for more “power” to put in place “a systematic approach to community organization.”
While at Harvard, he found time to take advanced training courses at the Industrial Areas Foundation, a group founded by Alinsky and affiliated with Gamaliel. He also would return to Chicago to work as a consultant and trainer for Gamaliel.
Under the tutelage of McKnight and other hardcore students of Alinsky, Obama says he got the “best education I ever had, better than anything I got at Harvard Law School.” He made the remark last year while campaigning in Iowa.

John F Kennedy must be spinning in his grave to see what the Democratic Party has become. Is this IT? Race-baiting…hatred of those who do not share your vision…vicious personal attacks…raging anger…malicious rumors and character assassination.This is it? Hastings pretty much represents the party of hatred. Just read all the posts from so-called Obama supporters. Obama has class. His supporters do not.

Interesting. Hastings accuses Palin of not caring much for blacks or jews while he advocates racial suicide for his own people in abortion clinics. The bible teaches us, “…by their ACTS you shall know them…”, Guess we KNOW where Hastings really stands. It ISN’T with his people. Like Obama, he pimps for Planned Barrenhood while the children of his “bro’s” are dismembered in inner-city death camps run by Planned Barrenhood. When blacks start paying attention to Dr. Alan Keyes instead of pimps like Hastings, their lot in life will improve.

The Dems are sure getting kooky out there. I love it. The more they say stupid stuff like this, the more sure I am that Barack Obama is going to lose this election. By the way Alcee, it was the Republican party that fought to end slavery, it was the Republican party that elected the first black legisators. It was the Democrats who formed the KKK, created poll taxes, and even held guns to their heads to make them vote Democrat. What a joke. One day, black Americans are going to realize that for 50 years the Democrats have gotten their votes, and for 50 years they have done very little to help blacks be successful. They have left them to substandard schools, communities of violence and have targeted their unborn children for extinction. What a party!
Posted by: Stacy Moorhead | September 25, 2008, 7:19 pm 7:19 pm
Rep. Alcee Hastings,
You are, by far, the most ignorant politician I’ve ever heard to date.
You are totally ignorant that Gov. Palin’s churches and Gov. Palin are strong supporters of The Nation of Israel and the Jews, as well as people of race. This is a fact that the Jews and The Nation of Israel are strongly aware of, because of their financial and prayerful support, contrary to your own ignorance. I know, I’m a Jew.
You are totally ignorant in saying that “conservative” Christians or people who own guns and hunt are, therefore, against Jews and Blacks. This is the same kind of ignorant statement that Obama/or Osama as Teddy Kennedy calls him/Oprama has made in the past, because his beliefs, admittedly Muslim bias him against all Conservative Caucasian Christians. Contrary to your own ignorance, we are not bitter, we are blessed, we are not ignorant/clinging to our bibles, we are Standing Strong On The Word of God, and we are more inclusive of all races than you will ever be!
You, apparently, would rather legislate tthe heinous murder of infants, the result of which we are all forced to live with,
than approve of legal gun ownership so your constituents can’t defend their homes and families against criminals.
As far as equality for women, there is no greater standing for women than to stand strong in Christ. God raises us up, not feminazis. Feminism never won anything for women that God and Christ didn’t already provide for us.
Not only are you Racist, but you are also Sexist and Ecthnocentric
You should take the opportunity to sit at the feet of Rev. T.D. Jakes, Creflo Dollar, and many of the other tremendously dynamic black Conservative Christian leaders, who understand these the Word of God and all of these issues.
But, thank you for opening your big mouth wide enough that all of your constituents fully understand your ignorance.

Who ever posted the info about Pope Barack NOT being born in the USA, you are mistaken. He was Born in Hawaii. IT is IF his parents were married before he was Born, that is being ask. From all records, HIS DAD, was not divorced from the first-African-Wife when he got married to Pope Baracks Mom.. A report in the Times Of London Online, last month, Pope Baracks half brother told reporters how Baracks Dad had not been divorced from any of his wives, thus throwing this in to the question..
So IF Pope Barack parents were not legal married, do we not then have a real Bas tard running for office? Yeah I am not a big fan of Baracks.. What McCain did and is doing, shows he is the better man for the office. McCain is putting the USA first, not the office. Picture after Picture of BO in the WH today, shows pure hate .. Now this about Hastings is no worse then Willaim Jefferson of La and his case. What would a legal person have 90,000 in cashin their fridge?? I am a WASp with family who are Jewish.

Yesterday, at 8:38:15 PM Mark asked the following interesting question.
“And who the heck equates gun-owning and hunting with racism and/or anti-semitism. If you ask me anybody who thinks that is probably either deliberately trying to stoke hatred or a paranoid maniac.”
A good question and the reason I think that it is most interesting is because of the answer. The answer to Mark’s question as to who equates gun-owning and hunting with racism is that empty hypocrite Obama. We all remember when he expressed those beliefs to his fellow socialist elites in San Francisco when Obama said:
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment. . . .”
Obama, like many of his fellow black leaders is a closet racist.

But, the blacks (the true hard-core racists) are for Obama by a margin of 94%. Let us face facts – if whites were 1/2 as racist, on the whole, as blacks, we would have never had the civil rights movement, affirmative action…or really even blacks here.

He enjoys the distinction of being only the sixth federal judge to be impeached and removed from the bench.
The charges involved taking bribes in return for a lenient sentence for a mobster. Heckofajob, Alcee.
In case you think his impeachment was a smear by the Right, Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, John Conyers and Charles Rangel all voted for it.
To call Hastings slime is to insult slime.

His actual words were that negroes and Jews should unite against the Christian “infidels.” This makes perfect sense given the Muslim factor of Obama. Sounds like it may have actually been some sort of code language that was meant to incite violence against Christians? These Democrats are really sinking to gutter politics for this election and it’s really an utter embarressment to hear them speak that way. Is this what MLK and other pioneers of the Civil Rights movement fought for? The right for negroes to say utterly hate-filled things against persons other than themselves? I don’t think so. I really don’t.

Let’s not forget that it was the MSM that incited the war in Iraq. They were ALL onboard for it as were many Democrats like John Kerry. Obama was against everything back then and his vote didn’t count so he was a non-factor. But the media in fact did very little fact checking before the war and actually pushed the Bush agenda very hard. When things didn’t go as well as planned and the Civilian (not Military) planners put in charge over there F*ed things up pretty bad the media jumped on Bush like it was all his fault. No way…that’s not how it happened. The Democrats and the MSM are right up there when it comes to blame. Obama is so naive and misguided regarding what America really wants that he and his buddy Alcee are going to have a tough time ever getting elected again. I made my prediction yesterday and I’ll say it again here: McCain wins by 6% of the popular vote. Not a landslide victory…but a plain-old hard fought victory.

Now, please tell me why I should support Obama, who is a long time follower of Rev. Wright, a supporter of the notorious thug Farrakhan who calls Jews “the sons of pigs and monkeys”. Hastings might think he has a point and he may reach the pseudo intellectual liberal elitist Jews with this racist garbage. But to a Jew like me who is a Veteran, an American FIRST and a Constitutional originalist, this guy typifies everything that is wrong with the Democraps and why I wouldn’t vote for Obama at the point of a gun!

from logical1: Palin’s voted 100% of the time AGAINST women’s issues (she agrees with McCain that women DON’T deserve equal pay for equal work because women are ‘not as educated’).
Haha. Not so logical. Check the facts. McCain has MORE women in HIGHER positions with HIGHER income on his staff than NObama. I don’t care for mccain but at least he walks the walk and is not just full of hot air like obama.
As for that racist rep, who aparently was impeached, what is he doing in congress. Although I don’t hunt, he is just crazy for associating hunting with killing jews. What a putz!

Alcee Hastings is really off base! He also is talking foolishness. What in the world does shooting a weapon and/or hunting moose have to do with Blacks and Jews? Hastings and many, many Blacks are racists. Many teach their kids to hate whites by their attitudes, their words, and their actions. The Blacks in many cases are the ones who have held back other Blacks. Clarence Thomas, a brilliant man, was nominated to the Supreme Court, and many liberal, Democratic Blacks tried to assassinate his character and defeat him because he is a conservative. They lost! They lost because of Whites who saw Thomas for who he is. Alcee Hastings shouldn’t talk. He was impeached! There had to be a good reason for that!

About time someone speaks the truth, for the most part the black caucus are a bunch of jew hateing racists. The only reason they would speak to a white person is to get their vote so they can tax them into oblivion to support their FAILED welfare and reparations programs. You can’t hardly argue this when they are the self proclaimed congressional black caucus. How racist is that?

So if Palin openly cares about America and Americans, but doesn’t single out African-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Norwegian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Latvian-Americans, etc., she’s somehow a racist? Nice to see another politician advertising his own ignorance and racism. And is it wise, in general, to take advice about someone’s character from convicted criminals?

“Hastings, who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus”.
My oh my. The Congressional Black Caucus practices racism every day it exists and boasts about never having allowed anyone but blacks to participate with them on their self-serving projects.
Obama does disagreed with the Black Caucus , however, when it came to the plans to demand repatriation. He thinks monetary payments don’t go far enough. LOL.
Four years of a race war escalating with a minority as President. Can’t wait to hear the spin on why Obama thinks affirmative action needs to be increased to level the playing ground when he’s sitting in the president’s seat.
People like this representative and Sheila Jackson Lee who is also a member of the Black Caucus and is seen in front of the cameras with the Black Panther, QuanellX shows us where this country is headed. The racists have changed colors :>)

equal pay for equal work… what a misnomer.
I fully support equal pay for equally COMPETENT/EDUCATED work, which is exactly what McCain/Palin support. Funny how that little detail is always omitted. people can be in the same position and bring a wealth of differences that will directly impact the company.
I make less than some women with my same title. A PhD nuclear engineer should make more than a Homer Simpson. Meg Whitman from eBay should make more than the President of the local flea market.
Same function, different levels of experience, ingenuity, initiative, entrepreneurism, or training… which deserve different compensation.

So if I am reading this right if you hunt or carry a gun you are against blacks and Jews and people who carry guns or hunt do not want affordable health care or or womens issues. And people who hunt or carry a gun do not want energy independence.
It never ceases to amaze me the (I was going to say ignorence) stupidity of people who attempt to be representative of the American populace.
I do not believe that any person who has the intelligence of a goat would buy into Hastings rationalziation. I honestly do not think that Hasting believes what he says. So what is the motive, it can only serve to deepen the divide between Jews, blacks, whites, poor people and rich people.
For Hastings to keep the animosity aflame serves only one possible reason and that is to ensure that he can exert power.
If reconcilliation is possible and successful Hastings has no job.

Sarah Palin IS MAINSTREAM AMERICA!!!! Where has this guy been? That’s why the majority of Americans love her – they identify with so much that she represents, does, is.
Before taking shots at a successful person, maybe Hastings should look in the mirror and remind himself about what an impeached, loser looks like. The black race is better off if you shut your mouth and fade into the woodwork, where all crooks should go. You had your five minutes of fame and you blew it.
Jealousy of someone else, someone you obviously fear, is ugly.

Posted by: MB | September 25, 2008, 10:09 pm 10:09 pm
In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders). Yeah Hastings is as concerned about the jews as Cynthia Mckinney.
Lets see, Obama subscribes to Liberation Theology (I know, he sat in that church for twenty years but never heard a thing), which classifies people of color as the oppressed, and caucasians as oppressors, where do the Jews fall in this classification?
No worries Alcee, most Jews will vote for Obama because they don’t want to be condemned as rascists.

I’m amazed that the Florida congressman thinks his simplistic remarks would persuade any audience to align with him. The more the left talks, the more voters see and resent the race baiting and misrepresentation of Governor Palin’s record and beliefs. Pro-choice on the political left is an inaccurate descriptor for pro-abortion. Palin’s CHOICE not to have an abortion was clearly her CHOICE—and should be respected by even the far left. It’s just a different choice. Further, separation of church and state does not mean that a candidate should have no faith and values. You have reason to be concerned as more and more American voters become informed.

Hmm….conehead. Yup, that sums up your intelligence level. In case you have forgotten, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. I can point a gun at you, but you won’t die unless I pull, yes I have to do an action to make the gun work, the trigger on the gun. Second, I am from a small town, an I am totally positive that I have more intelligence and class than you ever will. Third, think of the pro-life issue this way: your dead. you never existed. you were aborted at birth because no one wanted you and you were viewed as a worthless piece of rubbish. Yes, that’s right, you are a dead aborted fetus and your parents hated the thought of even having you. Now how do you feel? And, you are being sexist about the beauty queen thing. I know many females that are easily three times as intelligent, and most likely more good looking, than you are. Finally, at least she has morals and values, because it is quite evident that you do not.

Yo Steve, the idiot who says this is about guns and moosehunting is the GOP, not Hastings. Actually, I think the reason Dems believe Palin doesn’t care about minorities is all the self-righteous right-wing intolerance she spews (similar to some of the postings here). She is NOT mainstream America — that’s what the GOP wants independents to think, but if they put on their thinking caps and look past her superficial appeal they won’t like what they see.

*All Jews should read this article in Newsmax!!! Obama’s Harvard education was funded by a Radical Muslim Activist!
from 1988-1991! The mainstream media is covering Obama’s radical views and Muslim campaign donations! Jews will regret their vote for Obama! He is NOT pro-Israel!
Sarah Palin is mainstream America! She is a Reagan conservative! Alcee is a sick person! Why is it we only read and hear radical liberals talk like this?

Good God!! What the heck is wrong with these people, including the people who have posted that he might “have a point”. I think every time one of these idiots open their mouth Obama loses votes. I’m sure he would like to gag him. I am sick and tired of these racist comments. Someday, I hope to vote for a person who raises multimillions for their presidential campaign, and then uses it to help pay off the national debt.

Luise,
How is Palin not mainstream America? She was a member of the PTA, brought up in a small town, raised a family and has been very successful at life. She is the American Dream. What about Barack Obama? How is he Mainstream America? He thinks people in small towns are just made up of bitter white people clinging to their guns and religion. He is the real racist in this election. The democrats are a bunch of racist elitists who are trying to keep the people of America down through intimidation. They claim if you dont vote for Obama then you are a racist. Im not voting for Obama because he is a communist, not because he is black. I would vote for Michael Steele who is black, I would vote for Condi Rice, she is black. The fact that democrats would go this low to insult somebody with untrue facts, proves that they are scared of someone that is actually intelligent.

Posted by: kellog64 | September 25, 2008, 11:49 pm 11:49 pm
Hastings is less than worthless as a leader and has no doubt done more damage than help whatever his cause is.
Our choice as an American people is a lot simpler than the margins in the polls show. Why on earth, how on earth could any sane person vote for McCain/Palin? McCain isn’t even McCain anymore. This BS of “suspending my campaign to rescue [America]” is so incredibly transparent, political and disingenuous, but a lot of people don’t see through it. It’s really weird. I don’t want a president who flies off the handle or chooses a #2 without even a basic understanding of how things work. If I were her and the people who chose me let me down the way her campaign is, I would be really pissed.
Just think of 4 years or more of constantly changing focus and freaking out and generally doing anything to cover up their complete incompetence. It won’t be Bush III, it will be Bush III to the 10th power. Just like the current administration, McCain won’t be running anything, except out of time like he is right now.
Obama/Biden is the only ticket that has demonstrated character and integrity during this campaign. I do wish Biden would stop talking, though. He’s almost as bad as Palin, but with substance. The fact is Obama’s campaign has been run impeccably with real ethics and professionalism. That’s the way I want my country run! Their plans aren’t perfect, but they’re overall better plans. Besides, what president is able to enact 100% of all his plans? None. There will have to be rethinking and negotiating. Where you start from is what matters most.
Isn’t it ironic that the Dem ticket has all the family values that the Rep ticket is missing? Doesn’t anyone find the crazy capitulation to support McCain totally odd? Is anyone frightened of the completely idiotic responses Palin gives to perfectly simple interview questions? Is anyone paying any attention?
McCain/Palin would be an absolute disaster.
Obama/Biden ’08 or else…

This is the most prejudicial statement I’ve heard thus far. It says FAR MORE about the speaker than Palin. How could anyone compare hunting MOOSE to human beings? I find it appalling.
It’s even disrespectful to the MOOSE
to have this person comparing their own
prejudiced viewpoint to the animal.
All I can say is this election has made
me aware that I love Moose, Jews, Blacks and pretty much the rest of America…
the democratic party I’m no longer so sure would fit in that category however
Posted by: Annette | September 25, 2008, 11:51 pm 11:51 pm
So…if I understand that (lame) statement correctly, Hastings is putting blacks and Jews…and moose on the same level. In the brilliant words of Bugs Bunny – - – what a maroon.
Posted by: Tony May | September 25, 2008, 11:59 pm 11:59 pm
Even though Congressman Hasting doesn’t express himself in good English he does get his racist point across. White women who hunt moose and can field strip them obviously must hate Jews and Black Americans.
Such stupidity from an elected official is grounds to ensure he gets voted out in the next election.
Posted by: Big Stick | September 26, 2008, 12:00 am 12:00 am
I was watching Fox news when I saw the congressman’s comments scrolling on the ticker. I thought surely that is not what he said. But thanks to the magic of DVR technology, I could rewind it to make sure it said what I thought. And sure enough… it did. I honestly rewound it three times just to make sure.
If I was a democrat, I would be PISSED OFF that someone like that was speaking for democrats. Reverse racism is running rampant! As a white person… “I have a dream” *sheesh*

Hey Bizzaro World, what idiotic responses are you talking about? Are you talking about the trap questions that the liberal media tries to put on Palin? My question is, what good american would vote for Obama? He has anti-American values, anti-American friends, and an anti- American wife to who he claims he seeks advice from. Obama is a communist. What little records we do have on him prove that argument, not to mention he doesnt even want to defend our country against Iran, Russia, or Venezuela. He doesnt want to put nuclear shields into place when Russia, North Korea, Venezuela, and Iran are getting nuclear weapons and wouldnt mind using them on America.
He obviously doesnt care about this country or he would have volunteered to go to D.C. himself. No instead he stated that America was facing its greatest economic crisis, and said “if you need me, call me”. Then he claims a President should do more than one thing at a time, when he is only doing one thing at a time, and not doing it well by the way.
One more thing, what plans of obama are you talking about? The part where he is going to turn America into a communist state, or the plans he says three days after McCain says them like the Russia/Georgia situation. If you are going to push agenda for Obama, you might want to use better arguments.

Just because Alcee Hastings is a certifiable idiot doesn’t make Palin pro-Jewish. Evangelical fundamentalists like Palin are not pro-Jewish, they’re pro-Israel, but only because it serves their insane belief in an Armageddon prophecy. The prophecy demands that Israel be kept intact for their prophetic war, but it also involves the annihilation of all the Jews there. There you have it – a bunch of anti-semitic thugs loving only the concept of Israel, but dismissive of its people. So, yeah, keep believing that Palin is pro-Jewish. Oh, and those right-wing, evangelical, fanatic fundies on this thread claiming to be Jewish, you’re fooling no one. No Jew would be that stupid to openly spout the garbage you are.

It is clear to everyone now how much antisemitism and racism is in the Democrat Party. That’s where it festers, not in the Republican Party. It’s part of the Democrat Party’s class warfare strategy for winning elections – turning the people of the heartland of America, people of all races and religions – against one another.

We’ve already seen what blacks do when they receive ;arge pacages aod tp tje tune of $6000 cash. They rush out and buy guicci shoes, expensive handbags, jewerly, fancy clothes and shows…never giving a thought to the future. That money was meant to get them in an apartment, get food and make them comfortable. Instead they showed up with their loot at the same centers with their hands out.
Obama is not a ‘black mam”, he is half white but all we hear about is how he’s black. He’s as much white as he is black. I’d vote fore him if he was purple just to get the republicans out of office. They caused the mess we’re in, kick them out now, ASAP! I do like palin but not enought to put up with four more years of this incompentency and behind closed doors decicisions. Heating and food is going to be out of reach of poor Americans, is Bush looking at that? Not in the least.

Jason,
Not so…many of us are pro Jewish
because we realize that our scriptures came from the Jews, our savior came from the Jews and our future is aligned with the Jews. We have so much to be thankful for that the Jews have contributed to society, religion aside.
I admire the resilient nature of the Jews. The way, in spite of all the adversity, they have managed to rise above it and thrive. Yes, prophetically when Israel became a nation scripture proved true once again
and has many many times since, but that
is NOT where our admiration begins and ends.
I really hope you will reconsider your
viewpoint. Perhaps it is fitting to
some, but the majority of evangelicals I know have realized what horrendous things have been done to the Jews in the name of the “church”…(and NOT in accordance with our scripture I might add-those ideas and actions were directly AGAINST our teachings).
They agree with the NEVER AGAIN philosophy and have inundated Pres. Bush to SUPPORT Israel, not just as a nation, but as a people. We could surely learn a LOT about survival, about education,determination about forgiveness and perseverence from our Jewish brothers and sisters.

As a person of Jewish faith, a “bitter” gun-toting, and a resident of Florida – I am truly offended. Hastings has committed political suicide. We should, as Jews, vote for a man that wants to sit down with Iran, who has sworn to wipe Israel off the face of the map without any type of terms.
Hastings cannot even articulate with proper vernacular, and this is a judge who uses the English language as a tool of his trade – he is a joke and reflects his electorate.

OK Here is the deal. The financial crisis has been coming for a long time. We just need to ride it out. About Iran, we either need to let Israel do what they need to do or let them have the bomb. I think they have it already. What the F happened between us and Russia? Reagan and Bush 1 made us friends with them. 20 years later we have a new Cuban Missile crisis happening in Venezuela and I don’t think Putin will blink. We had a deal with North Korea. What happened!?!? We need to allow China to help the rest of the world with space exploration. John McCain you are definitely a hero and probably good for the country. If you reach across the aisle you should be OK. We definatly need to be more independent from foreign oil. Alternative fuel is the way to go. I know cheap oil (even at today’s prices) is easier buy it will eventually run out. Health care, anyone can walk into an emergency room and get treated. Who pays for that? We need to bite the bullet and provide it for everyone. Immigration, why are we thinking of closing the gates and building fences. If you want a job and want to work, you better have your ID and social security card ready. If you don’t, figure out on you own how to get one or go home. Simple. I have to. W may be our Herbert Hoover but I seriously doubt Obama is our FDR. Joe Biden would be a better choice. What happened to Ross Perot? Sarah Palin, as hot as she is, may not be the best choice but in our Britney Spears mentality maybe she is. (I still think Hillary is hot)
So where do we go? Well 2012 is coming up quick and maybe we should elect the antichrist to just get it over with.

Governor Palin hunts.
Therefore, she is an anti-Semite.
The former federal judge who was impeached, convicted, and removed from the bench by his fellow Congressmen (413-3 in the House, for bribery and perjury), sure has a flair for the non sequitur.
And Ebonics is always the preferred patois when lobbying Jewish constituents. In fact, the more opaque and non-grammatical, the better.
From why-war.com:
“NRA History
The NRA was founded shortly after the American Civil War by Union Army officers who were appalled by the lack of shooting skills among the Union soldiers during the war and determined to correct this problem by encouraging the shooting sports and marksmanship among the general population, including former slaves in the former slave states. This made the NRA very unpopular in the former slaves states and the NRA was considered an enemy by the Ku Klux Klan.
Union Army Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate are the officially listed founders of the NRA. They were granted a charter from the state of New York on November 17, 1871. The first NRA president was Ambrose E. Burnside, a commander of the Army of the Potomac. Former US President Ulysses S. Grant, who had enacted the 1871 law declaring the Ku Klux Klan to be an illegal terrorist organisation, was elected president of the National Rifle Association in 1883. Nine of the NRA’s first ten presidents had fought on the side of the Union during the Civil War. Including Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, Gen. Phillip Sheridan.”

Sonshine – maybe your beliefs and feelings towards Jews are altruistic. However, it remains a fact that the majority of evangelicals are anything but. Witness the tremendous sales of the “Left Behind” series, the fact that nearly 2/3 of all evangelicals believe that the state of Israel is evidence of a prophetic Armageddon, as does McCain’s friend the Reverend Hagee, and GWB’s buddies Falwell, Pat Roberston, and other such agents of intolerance (McCain’s words, not mine). The large majority of Jews in the US really want nothing to do with Christian Zionists (75% of American Jews consider themselves moderate or liberal and only 1 in 5 voted for GWB in 2000 and 2004), and if you’ve ever been to Israel, you may learn that the vast majority of Israelis are uncomfortable with right wing evangelical Christians, sick of their interference in Israeli politics. They see Islamic fundamentalists in the middle east as an immediate threat, but evangelicals in the US as more of a long term threat. Finally, getting back to Alcee Hastings, the man is a moronic thug and a rabble rouser, but that doesn’t distract from the fact that Palin’s fundamentalist beliefs are deeply disturbing. Just because an idiot criticizes Palin doesn’t immunize Palin from criticism by those who aren’t idiots. I have no reason to believe that Sarah Palin is a racist or that she’s “anti-black,” but I do fear her fundamentalist views. As it is, Israel is under an external onslaught by Muslim fundamentalists and an internal onslaught by Jewish fundamentalists whose sexism and misogyny often matches the Taliban. The last thing it needs is Christian fundamentalists safely sitting in their suburban homes in the US mucking up the mess even more with their dispensationalist nonsense.

Jason,
In all honesty, the people I know,
do believe Israel is God’s timepiece,
but they do not believe Isreal was replaced by the church nor will she
ever be destroyed as was promised in
scripture. Just because we believe that according to Ezekiel and Daniel,etc
that there will be war against her in a most serious fashion which will result in Armegeddon, that is just a factor in the whole picture. In other words, we cannot rush God’s hand, whatever will happen will be in HIS timing.
I’m not so good at explanations or debates. I know Perry Stone voe.org
is pretty good at explaining it if you are interested. But please be assured that many of us, (all that I know of actually and believe me, I will go to task with anyone who feels otherwise)are in full support of both Israel AND
her people, worldwide. It actually saddens me that the majority think otherwise, but based on history, I can certainly understand why there would be scepticism.
Now, that aside, the VP for the most part is invisible…the only time
we heard about Cheney pretty much was
when he shot that lawyer.
If that qualifies her, Palin’s ability to handle a gun might be a good thing.

By the way, no person of faith (most likely ANY faith) would accidently call themselves another faith. (referring to shen Obama said, “My Muslim faith”) That would be like someone giving the wrong name for themselves. Hello, “I’m Barry, no, no, I meant to say, I’m Warren.” Yeah right.
I saw this point made on the site where
Malik (Obama’s half brother made the statement about Obama being a good president for the Jews despite his muslim background). I found it to
be exellant and very thought provoking.
“So why do Muslims around the world love him so much if he really is an apostate? I don’t want to speculate, but usually former Muslims are demonized or killed for leaving Islam.”

Some of the idiots on here who use Newsmax and WorldNetDaily as their news sources are about as dumb and ignorant as the thugs who believe that the words of Farrakhan are gospel truth. In all truth, Obama is most likely completely secular with a healthy skepticism towards all organized religion, but like every American politician today has to pretend to be a fire breathing “Christian” to be politically viable. Its common knowledge that Nixon, Ford and Reagan never attended church, but had to give lip service to being part of mainstream Christian faith to be electable. To think that Obama is a Muslim then is about as ridiculous as thinking that Sarah Palin’s daughter is the Virgin Mary. Oh, and as far as Saudis and rich Arabs go, they’re more likely to fund the political aspirations of GWB and the rest of the Bush family (as they have, many times over) than they are to fund the law school studies of some poor black kid with a 3.8 average and a LSAT score of 170 from Columbia University. You people are ignoramuses of the highest order, right up there with Alcee Hastings, the man you criticize. Is it no wonder that highly skilled jobs are moving overseas, and that countries like China and India where scientific secular thought and higher education are the order of the day are gaining ground. Go to any major university today and you’ll see that the majority of graduate students and faculty in the sciences, economics, engineering, and math are either Indian, East Asian or liberal secular Jews, while the rest of you read NewsMax and other right wing trash to even further fuel your rabid stupidity.

A Representative since 1993 and a Democrat, Hastings was a lawyer and judge of the circuit court of Broward County, Florida and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (1979 to 1989). He was impeached and removed from office for corruption and perjury. He is only the sixth federal judge to be impeached and removed from office in American history.
Great Stats Hastings! I would probably take what he says seriously…(that statement of course is total sarcasm!)

Uhhh, Sonshine, I don’t know which rock you’ve been hiding under, but the Bush presidency was a de facto Cheney presidency. Admittedly, Sarah Palin is unlikely to wield that kind of power, but she would if McCain died in office which is quite likely given his age and history of malignant melanomas.
Bill – unless you’ve been in a bubble, the polls are all trending Obama’s way. As for the “my Muslim faith” business, even the ultra conservative Washington Times says that the rightwing fundie blogosphere has taken that statement out of context. Obama was discussing smears with George Stephanopoulos that he was a Muslim and said this:
“Let’s not play games,” he said. “What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come.”
Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted with, “Christian faith.”
“My Christian faith,” Mr. Obama said quickly. “Well, what I’m saying is that he hasn’t suggested that I’m a Muslim.
Obama said, “John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith…”. In context, and in other words, Obama was saying “John McCain has not accused me of being a Muslim”. If this is clear to the conservative Washington Times, it should be clear to the rest of the morons who inhabit the blogosphere.
And finally, Obama wasn’t even raised by his Kenyan father. His father left when he was two years old, and he was raised by his white mother in a white home with white relatives in a white neighborhood. In Indonesia, he attended a Catholic school. Why on earth would he attend an Islamic school? In third world countries until only recently, most if not all English medium schools were run by Christian organizations. Today there are hundreds of thousands of Americans working in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Muslim countries whose children attend American or international schools and who are quite at home conversing with Muslims. Many a US soldier in Iraq will also tell you that friendly Iraqi Muslims confer an honorary Muslim status on those they like and respect. Its like saying “you are a close friend, like a brother, and so I will treat you like a fellow Muslim.” How do I know this? Well, unlike a lot of you, I served in Operation Desert Storm and worked in Kuwait and Bahrain for three years after the war. Perhaps, you need to get out of your close-minded and isolated worlds, and realize that there is a whole world out there that isn’t inhabited by insane murderous people.

After sitting in Rev Wrights congregation listening to his anti-American Jew baiting and not walking out in protest, now the product of hateful beliefs is all for the Jews? Wasn’t his education paid for by the Black Muslims and a Saudi prince he loves The Jews? Didn’t he attend a Muslim school before high school? All this racism is reminding that blacks do not care if one of their own (OJ Simpson) murder someone as long as they are white. Sure you can trust a black man! Give him all the power in the world and ignore the fact that you will be standing in a bread line if you are not black!

Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently
tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments,
no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of
how the economy works, no understanding of how the
world works, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric
devoid of real substance.
He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he
rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he
hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic
surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way
to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in
Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from
his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is
exclusively.
What he isn’t, not a genetic drop of, is
‘African-American,’ the descendant of enslaved
Africans brought to America chained in slave ships.
He hasn’t a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead,
his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading
was the main Arab business in East Africa for
centuries until the British ended it.
Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of
slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he
makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.
It’s something Hillary doesn’t understand – how some
complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the
Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond
politics and reason. It is a true religious cult,
whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe
in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of
being human to the evil of being white.
Thus Obama has become the white liberals’ Christ,
offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There
is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of
his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make
of any kind can be effective against it. The
absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being
their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to
worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because
it is absurd.
Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans
remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a
phony savior.
His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken
seriously by any thinking American.
Pass this on to every thinking American you know!

~Palin “don’t care too much for blacks and jews”
~And various “feminists” saying she is a bad mom for trying to have a successful political career and having a family.

The more you Obama people talk the more hysterical and hilarous the lot of you sound. What exactly are you afraid of in Sarah Palin? The fact that she is a woman, an “ultra conservative Christian”, or that McCain/Palin might actually illicit some family values and morals back into our country? You can raise a child in best way you can and still the child has freedom of choice. You who have not sinned cast the first stone or are you too good for that? Why do you think this country is going to hell in a hand basket? Because we all make our own misguided choices. In the last couple of decades or so we have been making the wrong ones not only for ourselves but for our children and country. Wake up, we are looking at the end of our country if someone does not revolutionize the way our government works. Obama will only spend, spend, spend when we as tax payers cannot afford it, especially now. We are a group of spoiled people, I include myself, who know nothing about a great depression. Heaven forbid it comes to that! Just ask your grand parents or read about the great depression when it literally killed many due to being poor and or accepting welfare. There are many different kinds of death. Most people do not even think anything about accepting welfare any more but back then it was shameful. Where is our pride of self and country? We want to sit back and be fed. Sorry, that time is over. Reckoning time is here.

That old, corrupt, impeached former judge Alcee Hastings couldn’t think his way through his way out of a brown paper bag! The only reason that old, corrupt former judge didn’t serve serious time is because his co-conspirator refused to testify. Nancy Pelosi was one of those who voted to impeach him! And then he tried to have his impeachment overturned in court. If I believed in reincarnation (and I don’t), I’d pray that after he dies he comes back as an Alaskan moose.

I feel that this democrap who calls himself a “congressman” is a racist bigot who has offended me. He, IMHO, has committeth a “hate crime”. Think the ACLU or the NAALCP will represent me in court after I sue him? If you do, I have some ocean front property in Arizona for sale.

This is what I would call “typical” from this group of Americans. These types of people like Hastings must think they are “entitled” to act and speak however they like. Apparently though, if you are not a minority or if you can speak using correct English you must be racist. Another issue is where does Hastings get off comparing Jewish persons to blacks? Let us all get this right, only black people can speak their mind and not be racist, everyone else just needs to shut up and oil the squeaky wheel, right?

I see how far (low) the liberals in this country have come. Lies and innuendo have replaced facts, all in an effort to ensure victory for the American version of Hugo Chavez – Obama. Alcee Hastings is a criminal, and he is pulling the Marion Barry defense – cover your past sins by fomenting racial tension. That’s how Barry got re-elected (by stupid, brain dead dems) after being caught smoking crack as mayor of the city in the midst of an epidemic of drug related murders. The only thing missing from Hastings is the dashiki, but I’m sure that’s coming soon. Liberals are traitors…they are the ones that have brought this great country to its knees

In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).
In 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. The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed, providing five votes more than the two-thirds of those present that were needed to convict. The first article accused the judge of conspiracy. Conviction on any single article was enough to remove the judge from office. The Senate vote cut across party lines, with Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont voting to convict his fellow party member, and Arlen Specter voting to acquit.[1]
The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again, but did not do so. Alleged co-conspirator, attorney William Borders went to jail again for refusing to testify in the impeachment proceedings, but was later given a full pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.[2]

Sarah Palin, while being a Christian, believes that Jews have a special place in relation to Almighty God. After all, Jesus was a Jew and the Old Testiment comes from the Jewish Nation.
Sarah Palin, a Caucasian woman, is married to an Alaskan Native. There is NO EVIDENCE she is racist or hates Jews. However, Senator Obama, has been going to a so called christian church for over 20 years, that preaches hatred for the United States of America, whites and Jews. Senator Obama’s church of 20 years even gave the nation of islam leader, Louis Farakahn, reverance and praise, for his anti-white and anti-Israel stance.
And how does any one compare some one that hunts, to what the nazis did in WW2? Ignorance, willful lies, race baiting are Teddy Davis’ weapons.
Senator Obama has a record of trying to illegalize the private ownage of firearms in the USA.
I do not believe that Senator McCain is worthy of the title President.
But a Socialist like Obama is less deserving.

Church is a huge part of the black experience. If my fellow african americans really believed in what was taught on Sunday’s at church, then they would overwhelmingly vote in a conservative manner.

I understand that after Hastings finished his hateful diatribe to the”National Democratic Jewish Council” the fools in attendance responded with applause and laughter. Blind fools encouraging a black bigot. Are these foolish, foolish Jews unaware what such ideas have done (and continue to do in Europe and the Arab countries) to their ethnic brothers and sisters?

Never in my lifetime have I seen such enthusiasm for a Vice Presidential candidate. Sarah Palin’s arrival on the scene was like a fresh breeze on LA’s smoggiest day. She is a ray of sunshine which is blinding the entrenched Democrats and their sub-human liberal drudges who promote their dark socialist agenda.
The liberals are flailing around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying in any way and any means to discredit Sarah Palin.
John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin is like giving a shot of adrenalin to a nearly stopped heart! There is finally hope that the Republican party will rise to new heights after suffering through over seven and a half years of the RINO Bush Administration.
Beyond a doubt, the selection of Sarah Palin as America’s Vice Presidential choice was the smoothest political move that any party has come up with in a century.
Sarah Palin’s selection has breathed new life into the Republican Party. Her selection has thrown the Democratic party for a loop. They have become so muddled and confused that they have embarked on an effort to destroy this fine woman by attacking her using outright lies, gossip, obfuscation, slander, attacks on her family and personal attacks on her looks, abilities, experience and anything else they can think of.
This shows just how desperate these bottom feeders really are. The liberals are unable to tell us what Barack Husseine Muhammad Obama II‘s “achievements” are and none are able to come up with any thing meaningful. Why?
It is obvious that Sarah Palin (our Republican Vice Presidential) candidate’s achievements and abilities far outpace Barack Husseine Muhammad Obama’s, the Democrat Presidential Candidate?
Read it and weep all of you socialist commie aholes. Barack Husseine Muhammad Obama and his dummy and the rest of his Marxist supporters are going to feel the pangs of defeat in the November election.

I’m curious, if Obama is a Christian as professed by himself, why did he take is oath using a Koran. As for the lies and innuendoes of those about Sarah and her dad letting animals lie outside their home. I would like to know the Reporters name and address, I sure the Alaska Department of Fish and Game would like to know. However, I’m sure you can’t produce the information as it is totally a lied and as for her hunting by flying I’m sure you would find that she has never participated in the arial wolf hunts for population control. This is your chance to put your money where your mouth is.
I live in the same town that Sarah is from and although I don’t agree with everything she has done. She has been more honest and forthright in her job than any Lawyer toting politician that I have ever seen. Alaskan

Sounds like a lot of people are complaining about what they know nothing about. We all need to do more homework and get off the blogs. Obama has direct connections to terrorists and communists and supports killing babies. Do the blacks realize that Planned Parenthood actually accepts donations to abort black babies first. Get on that, get off the butts and do something positive. Obama is no more a Christian than Satan. Christians oppose killing babies. He is a fraud, again DO YOUR HOMEWORK. HE WILL SCARE YOU. Not saying that McCain is a prize either. And pray for this country.

you all need to get a grip,Palin is a smart educated woman,she has more experience than Obama, and she is not running for president. Obama likes to play the race card,this is not about race but about who can run this country.And the way I see it the Dems are voting for him just because he is black. America OPEN your eyes.The Dems are blocking the drill here drill now, the way they passed the drill here, is they make it impossible for this to happen anytime soon.

The liberals are a bunch of assholes and that is a fact. Lets say Japan did bomb pearl harbor again, the communist liberals and the code pink cowards would tell us not to fight back but make peace. Lets say if Iran drop a atomic bomb on America and libtards like Obamama and Nacey Sterach Face Pesoi would shanke hands with the enemys.
To all you Democracts out there let me remind you what Harry Trumen said.
“Take the fight to the enemy sock them in the mouth and do not appologies at all”. He also said ” If the enemy strikes you once, do not want for them to strike at you a second time”
Yes Harry Trumen was a Democract and the greast President among Democracts.
If Dirty Harry was alive today he would
tell the Dumbocract Party to burn in hell.

Can anyone tell me what action defines
“stripping” a moose? What a zipperhead.
It is obvious Hastings is not a hunter
and is not qualified to “judge” hunters. By the way, speaking of judge. Anybody been to an good impeachment ceremony lately?
If 6000 Jews would have had guns do you think there would have been a holocaust? Maybe Hastings would like to go to Israel and confiscate a few guns. That would put an end to his bigotry.
Sarah Palin is right to not lower herself to the Hastings level. I will be happy to do it for her.

Hastings equating hunters with bigots shows such gross blatant elitism, and the Dems have no shame, so they wouldn’t think of being embarrassed by his statements. It’s just the usual divisive race baiting business as usual from the left. I look at his statements as being offensive to Jews and black people for stereotyping that none of them are hunters and that they don’t know anything about hunting!

I have found a way to tell who is truly the best candidate for the presidency of the united states.. It is to listen to what they are saying and then watch what they are doing. If a person says he is a christian, but uses a Koran to swear an oath. If a person, until he was questioned about his refusal to pledge allegiance or say the flag salute, would not, and now does. If a person would not wear an American flag on his suit, like most Americans, and I have seen a personal taped statement as to why one of our candidates would not. Now he does. If a candidate says he is not a muslim, but was a member of a church that not only honored Louis Farakan, but damned the United States. If as candidate is married to a woman who had admitted has never been proud of the United Stated Until now. If a candidate was supported by Louis farakan, of the Nation of Islam If a candidate denied having studied the Koran, but information has been circulated indicating he had.
I would say that what he is saying is not consistent with his true beliefs.
If a candidate has always been a staunch supporter of the United States both in his service, actions and words. If the candidate has always sworn to protect the United states and has consistently suported the united states. I would have to say that his statements have been consistent with his actions.
There are many volatile statements being thrown around in the press. The statement by the Florida congressman is clearly meant to inflame the blacks and jews. Lets stoip listening to the lies and retorict and watch what they do. It will tell the whole story. There is no way a racist would get to be governor today without the whole racist history uncovered. It appears that it is not the truth, but a ploy to anger those who would normally support her.
I want a president and vice president who is committed to the United States Constitution, its government, and its citizens.
The choice is clear. One does and one does not.

That is odd because I know several blacks who love hunting as much as anyone else. Doesn’t it sound like Hastings is promoting black stereotypes? Not everyone who is black lives in an urban environment, and not everyone who does is ghetto and talks with the poor English that Representative Hastings does.

I can’t understand how so many people can be so out of touch with their food that they condem hunters who kill and prepare game for consumption. We here in Alaska live a lifestyle that has been lost in much of the lower 48. If anyone is out of touch it is those who condem self sufficient individuals who don’t get everything from the local supermarket. I also have to say that only an idiot would make a statement that the governer of the biggest wilderness state in the union would have rotting moose caribou and elk in their back yard is just plane ignorant.For one thing their are no elk in main land Alaska plus it is aginst the law to waste game meat in Alaska. Either get it right or keep your mouth shut. “Now” what does any of this have to do with jews and blacks? Are these people high?

In addition to comments by Issac in making presidential choice. Be sure and study their voting record on key issues important to you as a citizen. Watch how the tunes change in campaign rhetoric. Obama did not sign the friends of court document presented to the Supreme Court by the Senate in Heller vs DC supporting our 2nd amendment as an “individual” right. He has voted for every anti gun law that has come across his desk and supported every measure that regulates ammunition sale and purchase and where it is located. Now he is friend to the hunter in Pennsylvania and agrees with the Supreme Court? Now he threatens lawsuits against television and radio stations that display his voting record? Now he wants your 1st amendment right.
Constitutional rights according to Obama’s interpretation get a bit scary.
Every genocide in recorded history was preceded by the confiscation of weapons and the restriction of congregation. Bar none. Voting record is also historical and no lie can cover up history.
Obama can side step his study of the Koran and his failure to salute the flag. He can also distance himself from Hastings. Let him try to side step his documented voting record.
If Palin did not provoke the reaction she has in the Obama camp is when I would have gotten worried.

It is ALL and ONLY gonna be about RACE! Listen to the religion sector on the website theobamafile.com. 20 yrs at a church of Obama’s choosing…with his close spiritual advisor. Except now he has distanced himself from the pastor. All that has been and continues to be spoken is about race. Try on…God is black and if he isn’t he should be killed…. Holy Cow! Listen for yourselves. I am a bitter gun owner and I vote!!!!!!!

This is crazy!!! Why are they not even pressing for legal action against him? This is defimation of character and oh my…terrible. First of all, Obama causes the stock market crash indirectly, with the legal action he took in 93 against the gov for his client to make a bank loan money. Then he and several others ramrod a bill through to law with Clinton’s help forcing banks to lend to questionable credit clients around 2000. Then in 2005 when Bush says that it looks bad for the banks and there financial stability is in question, Biden jumps on the house floor along with Palosi and many others saying the banks are not in trouble and it is not right that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac make lots of money while low income minorities cannot get loans. Now, this and many many more…how much do you need to hear before you say enough…VOTE MCCAIN PALIN…they’ll at least be honest and tell you before the sting!!!

Hastings is a race baiting idiot. The Democrats are beside themselves with worry about this woman, and rightly so, she is a contender. I can’t remember a presidential campaign where one political party spent so much time and effort, in an attempt to absolutely destroy the opposing vice presidential candidate. That is true desperation.
Sarah Palin and her family, to me anyway, represent the values and ideals of the majority of middle America. It certainly isn’t the drug and alchol addled Hollywood fruitcakes, most of whom have the morals of alley cats, that represent or speak for me. These self important people make their living pretending to be someone else. How exactly does they qualify them as political experts? We all have our opinions, usually expressed around the dinner table or water cooler, but these chuckle heads use their access to the media to spout their vitriol and bile, and no one calls them on it. But, let Governor Palin or Senator McCain make one perceived misstep, and these creeps and the media types are on it like hyenas on carion.

I guess I must hate myself and didn’t know it. I don’t like racists of any color. I’m Jewish and yet I’ve hunted moose, I prefer elk meat myself and I tote a firearm both for hunting and self defense.
Having spent a little time stationed in Alaska anyone who ventures very far from the edge of town had better be toting a firearm (preferably a rifle of significant power and a pistol).
I find that despite being a hunter, a CCW permit holder, a Jew and a member of a racial minority (one of the few that isn’t recognized as such for Equal Opportunity or Affirmative Action purposes) It didn’t seem to me that preferential treatment of certain minorities or their apparent free pass to treat Caucasians and other minorities in a disparaging and disrespectful manner was anything but racist. As to Mrs. Palin, she too is a hunter, a person who is of modest working class origins who also happens to hunt. She’s been the victim of vicious and unwarranted attacks by a seemingly rabidly hateful group of people who have spread a variety of lies and slanders about her that have no basis in fact. But are for the most part akin to walking up to a person in a crowded room and saying, ‘have you stopped beating your mother yet?’ I’d wish that people would get real and let the attacks be about issues and about actions. Oh, wait, the other Presidential candidate has taken very few actions save for being ‘present’ when issues of a contentious nature must be decided.

No, really, it’s true. You DID know that the NRA is an offshoot group of the Ku Klux Klan, right? You DID know that, didn’t you? You DO understand that the original purpose of the NRA was to assure that enough white people in the south owned guns to prevent an uprising of freed slaves in the early part of the 20th century, right?
You DID know that, right? You understand that the NRA and most “gun rights” groups in America are fundamentally racist, right? You realize that their entire purpose revolves around “keeping down the niggers”, right?
Let me repeat – the NRA is an offshoot of the KKK. Many American gun owners and hunters are racist rednecks. Many of them would kill Jews and niggers if they had the chance. Period.

Re: Joe Six Pack
What planet are you from? The NRA was founded in New york State in 1871 by two Union, not Confederate but Union army officers, Colonel William C. Church and General George Wingate. The first shooting range was on Long Island and later moved to Sea Girt New Jersey, both states being in the heart of the UNION, not the CONFEDERACY. The KKK was formed in the heart of the former CONFEDERACY by disgruntled southerners, angry at loseing the war. Let me make that very plain for you, the NRA was STARTED IN THE NORTH, BY NORTHERNERS, it has no association with the KKK. By far, the largest majority of blacks killed in this country by firearms are killed by other blacks using illegal and illegaly carried weapons, not a bunch of white guys roaming the hood after their NRA meeting.
I nave been an NRA member for many years and have been to several national conventions. I have never witnessed or heard anything like what you are claiming. I belong to two shooting ranges, both with black members. One in particular is about 30% black. We all share the range, we all get along and we cooperate with each other. Are some NRA members racist rednecks? Probably, but I doubt the percentage of these NRA members is any different than their prevalence in society at large. The NRA sponsors very strong firearms, hunter safety, and marksmanship programs. There is no hidden agenda. We don’t wear white sheets at our meetings or burn crosses on anyones lawns. When we get together, we mostly talk about our familes, politics, fishing, hunting, and firearms, the same stuff most people who enjoy the outdoors talk about.
If it weren’t for the NRA and other so called, gun rights groups, our Second Amendment rights would have been sent down the river, mostly by your liberal, leftist, Democrat buddies, long ago. Now, I don’t know if the right to self defense is important to you, but it is to me, my family, and many millions of other American citizens. If all that bothers you, if you don’t like our Bill of Rights, then I suggest you take your sorry as-ed, race baiting, liberal ideas , which have no basis in fact, and move to the semi Socialist country of Canada. It isn’t far and nobody up ther can own a decent firearm, except for the criminals of course, they apparently don’t pay much attention to those pesky gun control laws. TaTa

Liberals are either blind & deaf or just plain stupid.How can you follow a party that wants you to do more so lazy people dont have to do anything.If you find one that admits to being wrong or takes responcability for his own actions please show him how to become a conservative.America is to great a country to become Obamas favorite welfare state or a member of the Europian Union.
