Stunning stupidity. Incredible ignorance. And a remarkable willingness to call damn near anything racism.
Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson-Lee ably demonstrated all three on poor Ed Schultz’ MSNBC program.
Special Ed was on one of his nightly rants about the unfairness of Rush Limbaugh’s success and how it can only be attributed to raaaaacism when he asked Jackson-Lee this question:
“Congresswoman, is there anything the African community can do about this? The comments speak for themselves.”
“I’m always committed to the First Amendment because as you well know,” Jackson-Lee responded. “You’ve been called Sergeant Schultz. I don’t know that to be your name. I’m a little sensitive to what that is to garner. Is that because you have a name that may be ethnically connected to being a Sergeant? I’m not sure what that is. I find that insulting as well.”
Would it be racist to point out that Sergeant Schultz was a character – a white German character – on the 1960s TV show Hogan’s Heroes?
Would it be racist to point out that Sergeant Schultz’ most famous line was “I know nothing” and that even if that is true, he’s a genius compared to Jackson-Lee?
Would it be racist to point out that it’s pronounced Lim-bah, not Lim-bow.
Seriously, Congresswoman, you should at least be able to pronounce the name of the guy you want to boycott.

Sheila Jackass Lee needs to be smacked in the head with the hand of truth.
I live 30 miles outside Houston, she got elected the same way Obama did. Jackson is nothing but a raciest idiot who is dumber then a box of rocks! Her comment to Nasa about a flag on Mars is proof enough
She can barely string together a response and every other sentence is she's offended, concerned, insulted. If she doesn't understand, its not that she is stupid and ill prepared for her position, it is because YOU are raaaaaccciiiiisttt!!!!!! Is she from Huston? If so, that would explain a lot on how she gets elected.
We've got Waters, Rangel, this idiot, and the one who was afraid that Guam might tip over if we put too much weight on it with a military installation.
All black.
Now -- I don't think this proves anything about the capability of black people -- there must be "people of other colors, including white" who are this stupid and get elected to our federal government -- does anyone know who they are? They never appear on the news like this crew of fools. Ethnic connection to being a sergeant -- please!
Seriously? Biden... is one example of course most of the idiots who are white in the media are presented as conservatives... and in the media overall black politicians who are democrats are not necessarily put on play (exhibit their stupidity) and IHTM makes a case to put all idiots in here be it white or black so you just need to look around. Your statement makes absolutely no sense.
She's an Afro-centrist.
*GASP*
Calling a Black person racist?
HOW DARE I?
Like Sargent Schultz (and Ed Schultz), Sheila Jackson-Lee "knows nothing".
A profoundly ignorant person, yet she helps write laws that govern the lives of 300,000,00 Americans.
Anybody wonder why the country is turning into a third world shithole? Well the fact that Americans are stupid enough to vote Sheila Jackson Lee (or most of the CBC) for anything says it all. I know the absolute rule in those districts are that you must be black, but wouldn't you think an IQ above 50 would be an asset? Of course maybe Lardass Schultz (is that racist?) wanted to find someone for his show that he is smarter than. But, sort of a tossup I'd say.
Hey, we elected as man with a 3 world mindset, & he is trying like hell to turn us into a 3 world sh!thole. Give hime an "A" for effort, OK.
Her race card got maxed out. Better get Jesse, Al and Barak on the phone to get the limit raised.
I sort of wish Rush wouldn't refer to that clown on PMSNBC as "Sgt Shultz", because I loved Hogan's Heros so much, and that moron is NO Sgt Shultz.
That bitch is crazy!
This is the same dumb broad who wanted to see where we landed on Mars. She did this at NASA watching their rover driver around on the red planet.
Special Ed did'nt have the balls to tell her that the "Sergeant Schultz" bit comes from "Hogan's Heros", & that it was not about race. Which should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about how her mind works. Despite the best efforts of the National Negro College Fund, & their motto that "The mind is a terrible thing to waste", Sheila Jackson-Lee's mind is little more then a wasteland of liberal/progressive talking points & the only card she knows how to play IS the race card because she lacks the intellectual ability to do otherwise.
