Identity Politics, Democrat Style

Here's a great example of a corrupt, liberal Democrat hack trying to scare the natives back on to the reservation:

Florida Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings pointed to Sarah Palin on Wednesday to rally Jews to Obama.

"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."

Congressman Hasting is also a disgraced former federal judge. His corruption and perjury while wearing the robes earned him the distinction of being only the 6th federal judge to be impeached by the US Congress. And it was a Democratic controlled congress. Despite that, or maybe because of it (we are talking about Democrats, here) he is now a US Congressman from Florida and a senior Democratic party whip in the House of Representatives.

When your message has no substance, fear and loathing sure do come in handy.
