Rep. Alcee Hastings, on Sarah Palin:
Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.
Because… Jews and blacks are… game animals? I guess?
I’d like to see JPFO respond, but I kinda doubt it.
(This post only here so I have a reference list for when the dust settles and I want to pick out the most nonsensical moment or statement of the election year.)

The left always has to bring race into it, don’t they?

Holy Crap!
Who’s playing the race card?
I’m only surprised that he didn’t say ki*es and ni**ers.
Sorry to be PC but I don’t want the Google Nazis to flag you.

[…] So, is he calling blacks and Jews animals? […]

Wow. That is about the most nonsensical thing I have ever heard. Usually I can at least grasp the idea behind most leftist stupidity. This one just makes no sense at all. He may as well have just got down on the floor and started licking it. That would have made about as much sense.

Hastings has always been an idiot.

“Projection” a lot, does he?

Why do the demlibs insist on showing us Real Americans time after time what morons they are? We’re already aware of that, thank you.

Thanks to Rep Alcee Hastings, I realize that I am a dangerous gun toting “moose stripper”
My first thought was; *&E#@&$(*@# MY GOD WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHARING THE SAME OXYGEN AS ME?!!!”
But, after researching Rep Hastings, I would expect no less from him;
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]
