Will Obama Disavow His Racist Supporters?

Don't hold your breath. If a Republican Congressman had made a bigoted, racist comment like this about an African-American Democrat, they would be hell to pay:

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. (emphasis mine)

Sad. It’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to taxes or abortions or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-American sentiment or anti-gun sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

And there's another tidbit in the same article worth mentioning. Remember the Left's well-worn "God is not a Republican!" meme? Well, according to Representative Steven Cohen of Tennessee, who was at the same rally as Rep. Hastings, God can't be a Republican because God's.....

A Democrat!

Really:

“A lot of what Jesus talks about is wonderful,” Cohen said. “Talks about helping people and lifting them up and caring about people who are sick and all those things. He’s a great Democrat.”

And I bet He's registered to vote in Chicago, too.
