Hastings, a liberal member of the Congressional Black Caucus, made his comments while participating in a panel discussion sponsored by the National Jewish Democratic Council. A former federal judge, Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by the Democratic-controlled House in 1988, and then convicted by the U.S. Senate a year later. He wasn’t restricted from seeking federal office, however, and was elected to his current seat in 1992.
“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, a Democrat. "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."
Pakistan's president tells Palin she is 'gorgeous'
Pakistan's recently-elected president, Asif Ali Zardari, entered the room seconds later. Palin rose to shake his hand, saying she was “honored” to meet him.
Zardari then called her "gorgeous" and said: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."
