Top democrat Rep. Alcee Hastings was sued today on behalf of a female employee for “unwelcome touching” and “unwelcome sexual advances.”
PR Newswire reported:

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it filed a lawsuit on March 7, 2011 against Florida Democrat Congressman Alcee Hastings on behalf of a female employee who was repeatedly subjected to “unwelcome sexual advances,” “unwelcome touching” and retaliation. The alleged harassment and retaliation began in 2008, when Hastings was Chairman of the United States Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe. The Commission is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Also named is the Commission’s former staff director, Fred Turner. Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit on behalf of Commission employee Winsome Packer (Packer v. US Comm. On Security & Cooperation in Europe, and Hastings and Turner (CV No. 11-00485 D.D.C.)).

According to Judicial Watch’s lawsuit, filed on Monday, March 7th with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia:

For over two years, from January 2008 through February 19, 2010, Ms. Packer was forced to endure unwelcome sexual advances, crude sexual comments, and unwelcome touching by Mr. Hastings while serving as the Representative of the Commission to the United States Mission to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Although Ms. Packer repeatedly rejected Mr. Hastings’ sexual attention and repeatedly complained about the harassment to the Commission Staff Director, Fred Turner, Mr. Hastings refused to stop sexually harassing her. Rather, Mr. Hastings and Mr. Turner began to retaliate against Ms. Packer—including making threats of termination—because she continued to object to Mr. Hastings’ conduct.

In 1988 Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury. He was then convicted in 1989 by the United States Senate, becoming the sixth federal judge in the history of the United States to be removed from office by the Senate.

    If she is not black watch the ………….. forget it it will not matter what color she is. I pray she has video and audio of the harassment! She must have something for Judicial Watch to take her case! The road behind her was tragic but you watch the road ahead of her it to will be a living nightmare. God Bless her.

    “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. 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.” — Alcee “we make up the rules as we go along” Hastings

    Granny,

    He is a member of the House, not the Senate, but to answer your question in many democratic circles impeachment for bribery and perjury are badges of courage and desirable traits. Why not vote for a guy who has a proven track record of stealing the beans before bringing them home!

    And to all the brainwashed black folk who refuse to leave the Dem Plantation, black males like Alcee Hastings and Marion Barry are heroes who should be admired, and black males like Clarence Thomas, Allen West, and Thomas Sowell, are all traitors to their race who should be lynched.

    Ginger, I don’t think that anough is a word. Enough is. It means ‘sufficient’.

    Back OT: Wasn’t Alcee Hastings defeated in his re-election bid?

    I would bet money on it, this pathetic man being a failed judge who was kicked out for something that should have made him a felon, even during and after this with the sexual harassment, his constituents would still vote him in because of blind ignorance and racist hate. He completely deserves and is long overdue for everything the penal system has to offer him. Say hello to William Jefferson, he will probably be in right after you.

    To avoid having the race card played, just call him a Demonrat. Black or white, they’re all crooked.
