1. TO food stamps?
I guess I misunderstand how that's racist. If he wants to take the money from something that is killing people and give it to a program that helps them is that wrong? Or was there more to it than that?

FROM food stamps, maybe.

3. I Messed Up The Punctuation
The caller implied that Congressman Meeks wanted to divert Iraq War money to welfare for "his people"...

7. And the problem with that is ...????
...I would much rather our tax dollars was used for We The People than to kill others. Besides I am a low income advocate, and you would not believe who can be on food stamps.

Also the caller really showed his/her ignorance and racism ...more whites are on most forms of public assistance (including welfare) than African Americans by far.

9. That's right... you hear "food stamps" and that's code for:
lazy "ni**ers" that want a free ride.

Same as welfare mothers with nine kids driving Cadillacs.
Racist pricks...I've been hearing that line since the '70s.

Got to give the repukes credit, they pick a tune and they sing it for DECADES.

10. The Amount Spent On Direct Transfers Like AFDC And Food Stamps Is Rather Small
Most of government spending goes to entitlements like Medicare and Social Security and defense...
