Just when I think the DemonRats can’t possibly top the stupidity of Charley Rangel, Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings goes and proves me wrong:
Rep. Alcee Hastings told an audience of Jewish Democrats Wednesday that they should be wary of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin because “anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.”
“If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention,” Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida said at a panel about the shared agenda of Jewish and African-American Democrats Wednesday. Hastings, who is African-American, was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race. “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through,” Hastings added as the room erupted in laughter and applause.
Is it just me, or is that freaking crazy? Winged Hussar at Grizzly Groundswell and Wesley Smith at Secondhand Smoke are finding Congressman Hastings stuck on stupid too.
UPDATE: Scoffery.com has it too.

What gets me is that Jews and blacks aren’t PISSED about this. What she is saying is that Jews and blacks are lower than moose on the totem pole. I mean, just switch the words to an subject easier to rank like “If she won’t even lecture at Cornell, she’s never going to come to UW or UNL.”

I wasn’t either Sam. I’m sure the game and fish has it somewhere in small print in the tag you draw. Although, living in WY, you’d think someone would notice something that racist and anti-Semitic.
