Great Ol' Alcee Hastings

Again, another Democrat is trying to play the race card, as if the Obama campaign has not done it enough. Why can't someone not support Obama due to the fact that he is an appeaser like Arthur N. Chamberlain, or because he is the most Socialist Democratic candidate after. Well Alcee Hastings, the Florida Democratic Congressman and Black Caucus leader, said the following yesterday:

"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."

This is the same Alcee Hastings who as a Federal Judge was impeached, one of only 6 that have ever been impeached, for perjury and corruption charges. Well Democrats elected him to Congress, and now he decides to put his two cents in.

Why would the Jewish people listen to him? This is the same Alcee Hastings who associates with Louis Farrakhan, the known anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam. Obama has also associated with Farrakhan and served on boards with him. And this is the same Obama who would sit with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to hold peaceful talks.

Update: I urge people to call his office and let them know who disturbing and unacceptable his comments are: Tel: (202) 225-1313

9/30 Update:Alcee Hastings apologized, well not really, he just realized he said something stupid that he does not regret saying. Here are his statements: "I regret the comments I made last Tuesday that were not smart and certainly not relevant to hunters or sportsmen,"

"The point I made, and will continue to make, is that the policies and priorities of a McCain-Palin administration would be anathema to most African Americans and Jews,"

"I regret that I was not clearer and apologize to Governor Palin, my host where I was speaking, and those who my comments may have offended."
