Sarah Palin Psychosis: Shoot and Eat a Moose--Support Killing Jews?

Sarah Palin psychosis continues undiminished: Now, Democratic Representative Alcee Hastings told a Jewish audience that Sarah Palin is probably a threat to Jews and blacks--because she hunts. From the story:

"If Sarah Palin isn't enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention," Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida said at a panel about the shared agenda of Jewish and African-American Democrats Wednesday. Hastings, who is African-American, was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race. "Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through," Hastings added as the room erupted in laughter and applause.
Very funny. To think, this man was once a judge.

Hastings' incendiary and outrageous demagoguery--he essentially accused Palin of anti-Semitism and racism, after all--is worrying because of what it might portend for the balance of the campaign. Still, I am sure PETA would agree with Hastings since it once asserted that eating meat made one the moral equivalent of an SS guard at Auschwitz in the infamous Holocaust on Your Plate Campaign, and that animal husbandry was the moral equivalent of lynching in its odious Animal Liberation Project.

Yes, I knew he had been impeached and convicted for corruption. Then elected to the Congress as punishment.

As long as people like Alcee Hastings are given a platform and nobody from main stream media doesn't challenge them, the bigotry & racism will continue. He would have been a lot the wiser if he attacked a certain leader from Iran with his "Word Smithing," then Palin. I hunt trap & fish. I spent a delightful day here on the Mira River docked with some Jewish friends last Saturday, even though I am a hunting blue eyed Scottish Canadian. There was also a black man and his white girl friend on another boat in a crowd of about 300 white folk. He wasn't the least bit uncomfortable nor should he have been although most of us are hunters and meat eaters. Had some fun telling my Jewish buddies how good my pork sausages were. We all had a good day but I suspect a person of Alcee's demeanor would have poisoned the well.

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]

Maybe Democrat Rep,Alcee Hastings ,fears Palin is a lot more likely to strip the skin of a crooked judge and is using Jews & Blacks as a smokescreen to hide behind.
