Old Alcee has been getting away with racist overtones and far worse for many years.
Pretty darn sad when you realize that many of his constituents in his district are so filled with hate and loathing that they will agree with his comments.
"Hastings, a former federal judge, was impeached and removed from the bench in 1989 for perjury and corruption. Elected to Congress in 1992, he supported Hillary Clinton during the primaries until she conceded the race."
Isn't this the kind of guy you want representing you in Washington?
It sounds like Hastings comments are a little bit off the wall. However, with Palin's rep there and not making any statement or comment about Hastings comment, or in defense of Palin, it makes me wonder what was left out as far as the content of the entire speech. bud GO OBAMA!!!
Bob, how did he get elected to congress? The majority of the people in his district obviously hold his views, or aren't paying attention. I lived in Seattle for years, home of Jim McDermott one of the biggest whack jobs in congress. One of the neighborhoods in his district is home to the nude bicycle parade (just like it sounds) and a life size statue of Lenin. One of the delights of representative goverment.
I find it interesting that the fox link has two replies and the cnn link has thirty-two. Can the ratio of views and comments be extrapolated more broadly? Probably.

PS I'm not black or Jewish and SP has me greatly concerned.
