- The Politico: Alcee Hastings faces congressional ethics probe
- The Root.com Clarence Thomas Faces Ethics Questions
We already saw the complete fusion between the prevailing Black Community Consciousness and the Progressive-Democratic Party interests just two short weeks ago as fallen Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner had Tweeted one too many pictures of his crotch area. For me it was disturbing to hear a conversation on Black - "Fight The Power" radio that was nearly indistinguishable from that which could be heard on MSNBC - "The Black Progressive Agenda Network". While both of them instinctively looked toward a Republican that had committed the same offense and survived (looking past Rep Lee of NY who got put out and instead focusing on Vitter), the only difference between these two collections of talking points that were enforced is that on "Fight The Power Radio" they believed that as a Jew Weiner will not be permanently tarnished by his sins and will later appear stronger than ever. If he were a Black man his career would be over - they said.
Fast forward just a few short weeks. With the ironic fact that Justice Clarence Thomas was initially blamed by the Progressive-Fundamentalist Attack Machine for orchestrating Wiener's Twitter-hacking (you know - at the point in time when he said and they believed that he did not send the pictures but instead a hacker had done so) Thomas is now under assault by the forces allied with the "People For The American Way" as they keep trying to throw something to see what sticks.
It is with great irony that the name of yet another inexorable leftist is in the news facing scrutiny just as the attacks on Justice Thomas resumes.
Rep Alcee Hastings (D-FL) is charged with sexual harassment of an employee.
My official disposition is to wait and see. I don't take this matter lightly and do not chose make presumptions about the innocence of a man who I disagree with ideologically.
The point remains - those who seek the highest of ethical standards in their enemy - gunning to have him relinquish his seat - just in time for an important matter that is heading toward his desk - EQUALLY see Rep Hastings as a necessary warrior in their perpetual struggle and are therefore inclined to wait for the aggrieved Black female to prove her case. Until then Hastings sure-Progressive vote is appreciated.
Florida Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings faces a House ethics investigation over sexual harassment charges made by a female former member of his staff.
An inquiry by the Office of Congressional Ethics began at least a month ago, Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, the conservative group that recently filed a lawsuit against Hastings on the charges, told POLITICO on Wednesday.
