Steele Takes Party Chairmanship

YES We NEED someone in there who will push Sarah Palin!!!! That’s the Dems best chance at keeping the Presidency in 2012!!!!!!!!!

So the RNC has a token Black man as chair but less than 1% in the party their WHOLE history! However, with Steele the usery goes both ways!!!

So how long before Rush claims that the Republicans voted for Steele because of white guilt? Is Steel the new magical Negro for the Republican party?

You just lost the bubba vote.

You have got to be kidding, how pathetic. Republicans just don’t get it, but they should. It’s not about color, it’s not about black or white. It’s about ” MONEY “, it’s about the working class against the rich elite. This B.S. is why I left the Republican Party.
Ex Republican

And it begins…..
The Nation begins it swing back to its real roots… conservative roots. The Man of Steele will show Obama for what he is… a white-guilt liberal socialist. Real Change…Really Black. Reality, not Hope, Real World, not Really a line of BS.
Ronald Reagan Lives!!!!!!!!

The GOP is so lame, it isn’t funny anymore. Steele, and one other black guy, were THE ONLY BLACKS IN THE ROOM!!!
Ray Charles can see what the republicans are trying to do, and he’s blind and dead. I guess the blacks are just suppose to come running to the GOP now,huh?
HEY REPUBS, you idiots………..IT’S NOT GOING TO WORK !!!!!

Steele is no “token”… try reading up on the man.

Democrats should keep pushing the RNC towards Palin an Rush Limbo; The more they will be visible the better it is for the democratic party. Rush Limbo is disgusting but on the other hand you need very little to make him say or do things that can be used against the RNC on next elections; the will become the image of the RNC. In fact people like Guliany, Hannity or essential to the perpetuation of the democratic power.

wow, what a bunch of racists on this board! You don’t even know anything about him, but you make your judgement based on his skin color..
Tsk, tsk… libs.

why is race ALWAYS an issue with the democrats???

You betcha, I can see a black man from my front yard. LOL
Ex Republican

Michael Steele believes in conservative principles, and has not yet been truely stigmatized as radical like Gingrich, Limbaugh, or demonized like Tom Delay by the live and let live non partisan, homofatuated liberal media.

He LOVES Sarah Palin. 2012 here we come! woohoo!

realnyer: DEMOCRATS racist? How many blacks are in the OP? Wasn’t the convention shameful enough? This poor guy Steele got railroaded into thinking that the GOP will be more open to people of color – they HATE people of color – read these forums. He got elected because it’s ‘cool’ to be black these days. He’s a token, and not running the party, you can take it to the bank.

Rush will have a freakin cow

Congratulations, Michael Steele. He is very vocal about fiscal/moral conservatism, and seems like a smart guy, but I never thought that Republicans would actually take him seriously. I am really surprised that GOPers elected an african-american from MD to be the head of their party. Now let’s see if this is going to divide the GOP, alienate voters from the deep south and other “conservative” areas, or if it really sends a message of inclusive politics. This is good for all of us. I am a Democrat, I disagree with Steele’s political views, but I recognize that GOPers are sending a strong message to everybody, including their own constituency.

The most Pro-Affirmative-Action statement ever from the Anti-Affirmative-Action party:
“…Whoever gets elected can’t look like me,” said Holland Redfield, the RNC committeeman from the US Virgin Islands, who is white. “The message has got to be not because we need their votes. It has got to be because it is the right thing to do.”
The “right thing to do” is to elect a guy entirely based on the color of his skin? Wow, great job, you guys really have come a long way…

Now, this is what I call the REAL Majic Negro! Go Steel!

the republican party is without a doubt the dumbest group of clowns on the face of this earth. they just insulted african-americans AND every other minority group. did anybody else notice that steel was the only black person in the room? you guys just guaranteed obama’s second term.

Ebony and Ivory sung by Stevie Wonder who sees right through this stunt.

PERSONALLY I DONT CARE WHAT COLOR HE IS MICHAEL STEELE IS A GOOD MAN VERY INTELLIGENT HE’S A MAN OF GOOD CHARACTER YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM BEFORE YOU START BASHING HIM IM A INDEPENDENT VOTER I SEE MYSELF AS MODERATE BUT QUITE CONSERVATIVE WHEN IT COMES TO MY MONEY.

I’m not surprised. It took America electing it’s first black president for them to jump on the bandwagon!

PERSONALLY I DONT CARE WHAT COLOR HE IS MICHAEL STEELE IS A GOOD MAN VERY INTELLIGENT HE’S A MAN OF GOOD CHARACTER YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM BEFORE YOU START BASHING HIM IM A INDEPENDENT VOTER I SEE MYSELF AS MODERATE BUT QUITE CONSERVATIVE WHEN IT COMES TO MY MONEY.
Well said, my point exactly…
Wow, people… try listening to the man and not looking at his skin color..

Note to Democrats and NatFrankie: There are racist Democrats, too. Up yours if you can’t see this as a good thing. You are just afraid we will take it next time because most black people believe in God and Jesus and should, by nature, be conservatives and republicans.

Whew! Boy, are we just a bunch of whackos? And to think that liberals could do better than right-wingers! It took the party five rounds to elect a guy who’s been campaigning on television for a while, and the only thing most can say is that it was a joke to put a person of color? What were they to do? I mean, I’m no fan of most right wingers but gosh!
Can someone direct me to a blog that has real political conversations? We’ve become so partisan that it’s not even funny. People if you don’t stop this hating I think you may cause the downfall of this great country.

pathetic republicans. hahahahahahaha.
fooling no one.

I could say the exact same thing about Obama, that he is intelligent and a man of good character yet somehow according to the Republicans to vote for him meant you were a white person with white guilt or a black person who was racist. File this under what comes around goes around…
Wrong, it was never about Obama’s race for conservative’s. It’s about his policies.

i think mike steele will do a great job. color of ones skin appears to only matters to guilt stricken liberals. thats what you folks never can understand about the gop, we are about principles, not about guilt.mike steele deserves the position.at least sarah palin is a happy female and doesnt ask wheel chair bound vetrans to stand up and take a bow as biden did.

Kevin, open your eyes to your own – i.e., Obama the sock puppet led by the white democrats. Stop throwing your stones because you will certainly break the glass house dufus.

Mike Steele is a great choice. MLK was a republican. The people on the on the right side of the Civil War were obviously the republicans, and the segreationists/klan members were all democrats.
Democrats only enjoyed the black vote after the 60′s free your mind-welfare for everyone-let your pants hang down mentality hit.
They realized entiltlements are the new way to keep people enslaved. Ever since the democrats have gotten the black vote, blacks quality of life in education, marriage, literacy, relative to whites has significantly dropped.
Show them the light Michael!

Posted by: RGeier | Jan 30, 2009 4:31:47 PM……..”it’s about the working class against the rich elite. This B.S. is why I left the Republican Party.” Do you REALLY believe the Republicans have more money than the Democrats?!!!!!!!!!

“Wrong, it was never about Obama’s race for conservative’s. It’s about his policies.”
And what are Steele’s policies? Was it about Obama’s policies when he was being introduced using his middle name? Is Steele going to be introduced using his middle name? Pahleeze.

Amazing how so many of you see nothing but race in this story.
Steele’s been a strong Republican voice for the last two years. He put in a lot of hard work, and earned the admiration of many of us in the party.
It’s sad that people are using his victory to reinforce some lame, inaccurate GOP stereotype. He’s not a token black politician, and his victory doesn’t somehow divide the party.
Republicans want leaders who will lead and represent them effectively. It doesn’t matter what color their skin is.

LISTEN IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOUR A REP. A DEM. OR INDP. YOU TRY TO LOOK FOR THE BEST CANIDATE AND HOPE THAT PERSON CAN DO THE JOB NOT ALL REP ARE BAD NOT ALL DEM ARE BAD BOTH SIDES NEED TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF ALL THE CORRUPTION ON BOTH SIDES YOU KNOW THIS.

Come on Steele, did the GOP even take you out to dinner first?

michael steel has been a spokesman for the republican for years. quite educated and not apologetic for being a republican. condoliza rice was appointed by a republican president and general powell also.
the democrats are rich too. i’m a single mother, 5 kids, work 2 jobs and do not look for government to support me. my husband was a cop, died, little insurance.three of my children are working their way through school. don’t you remember jack kennedy saying,”ask not what the government can do for you; but what you can do for your country.” doesn’t anyone remember that.

And to address all of these lame “white guilt” accusations, keep something in mind…
No one has been treating Steele like the Messiah. He’s merely been voted into the position. No fawning. No fainting. No tingly leg feeling.
He was chosen to lead, no different than if he were white.

HEY STEELE,
Get off your knees man and wipe your lips………..IT’S EMBARASSING !!!!!

LISTEN LIVING IN MASSACHUSETTES ARE STATE IS RUN BY A DEMOCRAT MAJORITY WE ONLY HAVE 17 REPUBLICANS THEY WALK AWAY WITH HUGE PENSIONS WERE IN THE WHOLE BUT GOD FORBID THEY LOOK AT THAT. SO PLEASE DONT THINK DEMOCRATS ARE THAT WONDERFUL PRETTY CORRUPT HERE THE REPUBLICANS WE DO HAVE MAKE MORE SINCE THAN THE LIBERAL DEMS THE MODERATES ARE NOT TO BAD THEY FIGHT THE FAR LEFTIES

Cool. Now the GOP can have their own “change agent” too. Of course, this still leaves a lot of questions for conservatives to ponder: Is he really black, or 1/2, 1/4 white? Will the GOP come out with a song titled “Michael the Magic Negro”? What is his real religion? Do they now have to refrain from making racial jokes? Etc., etc.

Steele has earned his keep. Obama has done nothing but make empty promises and live off the tax payers dime.

What a joke! Michael Steele is a joke. That coming from a BLACK WOMAN!!!!

jhw…you may be correct but i do believe this is a step in the right direction. there is no place for racism anymore. my 11 yr old came home during the election and asked if we were racist? i asked why? he said he was called a racist at school because he voted for mc cain in grade school voting. i want the republican party to ba all inclusive and focus on consertvative values. the religious right and the neo cons really highjacked the party. i am happy to see it make changes.

Let’s just hope they don’t give him a fiddle.

Michael Steele palls around with terrorists.

This is the guy that many of us wanted to run for President. If they think this kind of stuff can bring me back to the GOP, they’re right. He’s head and shoulders above that Howard Dean guy!

And it begins…..
The Nation begins it swing back to its real roots… conservative roots. The Man of Steele will show Obama for what he is… a white-guilt liberal socialist. Real Change…Really Black. Reality, not Hope, Real World, not Really a line of BS.

70,000 unemployed comedians, and
you want to be one? What a joke!

…and it still took them FIVE ROUNDS to vote for him!
When will the RNC ever learn that it’s not their party most people reject, it’s their outdated philosophies and semi-bigoted views…and hitching their little red wagon to Michael Steele is not going to change that one bit!

Oh yeah, I know that Steele that being chairman of the RNC will really influence my vote as an African American. BAAAAHAAAAA

Isnt that nice. I wish the republican party would understand what is wrong with their party and why they lost the election. Is wasnt all about color except hate on their end. Listen to Hannidy if you want to know what is wrong with the party. He is a perfect example. To campaine constantly on fear, hate and to spend more time bashing the person you are running against, then spending time talking about yourself and what you can do is not going to win an election. Hannidy still talks about Ayers and such. Then Palin was another story. But what I am getting at is that this country doesnt want to hear about the past, about “hanging around with terrorist” and the fear of what will happen “if you dont vote for me.” The voting public doesnt want to see videos of 9/11 and campaining again on fear. They need and want to hear what a canidate can do for us in the future. They want to hear some hope when we live in a time where we are scared of of tomorrow might bring. The republican party attracts white hate groups and tobacco chewing rednecks because thats how they campaine. Sorry fellow country boys just making a point. Time to grow up Republicans and win me back to your side. Also quit making the Christian religion your one and only talking point.

HEY JUSTMYOPINION12009 WHO CARES IF YOUR A BLACK WOMAN WHAT THAT SUPPOSE TO DO WHAT CHANGE PEOPLES MINDS IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT COLOR GENDER YOU ARE ITS WHAT YOU CAN DO.

this is a good move for america as some of the disenfranchised have another new role model in addition to obama. i hope this lifts people to aspire to be something other than a rap star.

Congrats to the new chairman. This is exciting news – regardless of party affiliation.

I see the left wing nuts are thick today…

I can’t believe all the nasty comments. Steele just won a major party election and beat out some prominent other republicans. He’s an excellent choice to lead the republican party and most republicans agree. Can we just enjoy the moment without all the hate.

I had contratulated Michael Steele and the GOP on a previous comment, but after reading all the right-wingers comments about “white-guilt” and Obama’s election claim I decided to add a few points. Barack Obama became a strong candidate so fast within the Democratic party because of his views, because of how well he explained progressive views to other liberals, just like Hillary Clinton became a strong candidate in the Democratic party by pushing her populist message. A black man and a white woman admired by many democrats because of their merits, not because of skin color or gender tokenism. On the other hand, truth be told, Sarah Palin was chosen as a token woman, a response to Obama’s not picking Hillary for vp, and today’s election of Michael Steele to head the RNC, as stated by the same Republicans that are electing him, is a response to changing demographics in our country. That is tokenism. Both Steele and Palin are GOP tokens.

Steele was the best of the worst. But Obama has the black vote. So the GOP will have to compete for Hispanics and Whites, to make a dent in the next election… Otherwise, even if Obama fails, they have NO chance!

You haters need to get over yourselves. Steele was chosen because he has strong conservative credentials on social and fiscal issues and is also seen as a centrist. He was not chosen for his race anymore than Obama was chosen for his race.

The libs are scared to death of guys like Steele – intelligent, ethical, conservative, and BLACK!

first Obama, now Steele. Once you go black you never go back!

As an African American and a Republican of more than 20 years, I was brought to tears by the announcement of Mr Steel as the RNC chairman. My God What a Bold Choice. My prayer is that this magic Negro will encourage magic in all the little negros world wide. God bless America!!!

It seems rather gimmicky. I apologize if that sounds disrepectful. After all it was only three months ago some outrageous claims were being made. All the republicans stood silent (very, very few spoke up).

These posters are so transparent. Steele is NOT a token. Read and think. Stop being brainwashed by SOROS AND HUFFPOST.
Is OBAMA a token? Is a woman a token? So anytime there is a threat, you dismiss the person. LOOK.

An open minded liberal is about as easy to find as a patriotic liberal.
They simply don’t exist!
Posted by: dave |
——————–As a retired Master Chief you found one “liberal” patriot right here. As far as opened minded you make my point. You are probably one and I may be wrong, that likes to sit around dumping on the Dem party 90 percent of the time and spend very little of the time selling or talking about what your party can do. To say liberal patriotic are hard to come by is a perfect example of what is wrong with the republican party. Times have changed my friend. Wanting a party that carries a bible in one hand and an assault rifle in the other may have been important back 30 years ago, but this country has more pressing matters.

People who thinks the Republicans voted for Steele just plainly b/c of his color, obviously has no idea who he is and what his believes are. so very silly of those posters.

Seems like I heard these lines before…. Oh yes,
replace the Steele with Palin, replace color with gender

I’m watching you GOP
The world is watching GOP
GET RID OF YOUR BIGOTS
There there… no doubt about that
Just watch the tapes of McCain’s rallys
I am proud of GOP. A huge step to become relevant again.

don’t get it twisted though folks
the charimanship is a ceremonial position at best
think of all the past chairs and really think about how much power they had.

Isn’t his middle name Fareed?!?!

The Republicans are running out of options,and are playing the race card to revamp their tarnished image. I am an African American, and I think that at this time we have gone past the “first black this, first black that” nonesense. The fundamental values of America is embraced all people of all ethnicity. Not until the GOP start thinking in the interest of all Americans, not just the elite, they will soon become irrelevant, regardless of the hue of the one who chairs their committee.

republicans are so dirty they put a blackman there to lure back black voters
aint gonna work
at least obama worked his ass to be president
they just gave steele a green light
republicans are so dirty
I hope they lose in 2012 m sick of their lies
but this is good for blacks I hope racist europe are watching this

Good change for the GOP – Now if they will liberalize their platform they might be able to save their party from extinction

The democratic party is full of some of the most vile, racist, hate-filled people I have ever seen. All of their “open minded” comments are making me sick.
Just imagine if you people won the civil war!
Where in God’s name would our country be? Thank God democrats don’t know how to win wars and republicans know how to kick their enemy’s arse.

The days of BO and the rest of the socialist liberals playing robin hood, while lining their own pockets, are coming to an end.

Fine. What’s the big deal? He seems to be a good choice.

If the Republican party is a bunch of old white men and Ann Coulters, then the democratic party is a bunch of brainwashed conspiracy theory believing half-wits who will slowly make this country resemble a socialist 3rd world country within 20 years. Dems act as though there is a giant castle filled with gold that is guarded by republicans and if only they can storm that castle and get themselves a piece of that treasure, all of their problems will go away. Go Ron Paul or Bob Barr in 2012!! or anyone else who uses critical thought to lead instead of their generic allegiance to “liberalism” or “conservatism”.

MICHAEL STEELE!!!!! THIS IS REAL CHANGE, THIS IS A MAN WITH A VISION AND A VOICE!!!! JUST LIKE LANNY DAVIS SAID STEELE IS THE DEMOCRATS WORST NIGHTMARE, BECAUSE NOW ALL OF THE LIES THEY AND THE MEDIA HAVE TOLD FOR YEARS WILL BE SHOWN FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE!!!!! MICHAEL IT’S A PROUD DAY AND I AM PROUD TO CALL YOU OUR CHAIRMAN!!!!!

Or perhaps Strom Thurmond, who conducted the longest filibuster in Senate history in opposition of the 1957 Civil Rights Act and ran on a segregationist ticket.

Why Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican
By Frances Rice
It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now Socialism.
http://www.nationalblackrepublicans.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=pages.DYK-Why%20MLK%20was%20a%20Republican
Michael S. Steele served as Lieutenant Governor of Maryland from 2003 through 2007.
Steele is chairman of GOPAC.
When Steele was elected Lieutenant Governor of Maryland in 2003, he became the first African American elected to state-wide office in that state.
He is currently a partner in the international law firm of Dewey & LeBoeuf in Washington, D.C.
From 1991-1997, Steele was a corporate securities attorney at the international law firm of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton in Washington, D.C., specializing in sophisticated financial transactions on behalf of Wall Street underwriters.
He also was a corporate finance counsel for the Mills Corporation and founded his own company, The Steele Group, a business and legal consulting firm.
His writings on law, business and politics have appeared in The Washington Times, Politico.com, Townhall.com, and The Journal of International Security Affairs, among others.
Named a 2005 Aspen Institute-Rodel Fellow in Public Leadership and awarded the 2005 Bethune-DuBois Institute Award for his ongoing work in the development of quality education in Maryland, Steele has served on a variety of boards and commissions, including the Export-Import Bank Advisory Board, the U.S. Naval Academy Board of Visitors, and the Republican National Committee.
Born in 1958 at Andrews Air Force Base in Prince Georges County, Maryland, Steele was raised in Washington, D.C.
He spent three years as a seminarian in the Order of St. Augustine in preparation for the priesthood, but ultimately chose a career in law instead.
He earned his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in 1991.
Steele serves on the Administrative Board of the Maryland Catholic Conference and is a member of St. Marys Catholic Church in Landover Hills, MD, where he attends mass regularly with his wife Andrea and their two sons.

By all the negative comments, it seems some liberals are feeling a bit sensitive about this.

The problem with the Republican Party now and forever, is their deep-seated ignorance. There are studies which definitively show that Democrats are smarter than Republicans. Look it up online!!! They will never overcome this. Their policies and ideals are are just plain unintelligent. George Bush is so dumb, it was embarrassing to watch him. I know this might be hard for republicans to understand, that’s why I suggest they look up the statistical analysis which shows that they are not as smart as democrats. In the 80′s the analysis showed that Republicans were smarter – but it has significantly changed in favor of the Democrats.

“The Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now Socialism”
-Hilarious, but so true.

Did the GOP elect Steele because they want to “bend over and touch their toes” because he has a “black father”, and he is the first black chair of the GOP? This man won’t be running nothing in the Republican Party, he is a token, and you bet Limbaugh will be behind the curtain. Steele should have not accepted this chair. He’s a Sarah Palin all over again. Will these jerks ever get it.

It is NOT his color people – just like it’s not Obama’s color – Steele has principles that he sticks by and is honorable. George Bush did more for Africans – not African Americans, just Africans than anyone else. So take that one. I served in the Army during WWII and know a few things. We have been safe under George Bush for over 7 years for which most people naively have already forgotten.

The GOP is so transparent. This is just like when John McCain chose Palin thinking “all I need is a woman to get the Hillary vote”…pathetic.

With that being said, why would you remain in a party who is constantly insulting the work you and other brave men/women have done throughout the years?
****************************************
Insult? You tell me that Bush and Cheney didn’t insult the military, turn their backs on the wounded? Shot down every advancement for the care of Veterans? Sent them to war without proper equipment?
Please give it a rest will you there is more to life and community then the military.
GOP is all talk and no show. Hollow and easy to read, selfish and self serving, arrogant and uncaring. They are a Party without any worthwhile purpose and are doing their best to deystroy the Americanm way of life, and form of Government.

Major (Ret)
Thank you for your service! God Bless you and yours.
To add to your comment.. there is one man in the history of the world who has directed more relief $$$ than anyone else to Africa. I bet you will never hear them say this on MSobamaNBC, CNN, ect. His name is George W. Bush.

So, there goes the Neo-Con vote and the Bubba vote and the KKK vote. – Where was Rush Limbaugh? why isn’t him the new GOP Chairman? Perhaps Limbaugh is just another Ann Cutler or Donald Trump ready to say just anything controversial just to keep the ratings but unwilling to put his ideology on the like and running for the Senate or Presidency.

You have got to be kidding, how pathetic. Republicans just don’t get it, but they should. It’s not about color, it’s not about black or white. It’s about ” MONEY “, it’s about the working class against the rich elite. This B.S. is why I left the Republican Party……..Ex Republican—————————————————– AMEN!!!! THEIR FOUL!! AND INSULTING!!! I guess Rush Limbaugh & Republican Congressman J. Kenneth Blackwell are digging thru their record collection for their “Magic Negro” CD…. INSULTING!!!

Come on people?….lol
I just got home and heard about Steele on the radio. Does the GOP actually believe that this is going to work? Stop with the gimmicks fellas. Remember how you thought the Hillary supporters were just going to come running to Palin? This is another really sad ploy by the republican party.

Thinking
How many democrats said “I voted for the war before they voted against it”?
That means they cut-off funding for the troops. John Kerry, the ultimate flip-flopper, did just that.
As for barry O, that guy felt more then okay to sit in a church for 20 years where the sunday theme was….
“America created the AIDS virus”
“America deserved 9/11″
“America is the worst terrorist nation in the world”
Barry O hates the military or he wouldn’t have sat there for 20 years.

Reply to dave
- Relief to Africa? Bush 41 or 43? – Were do you get your facts? Wikipedia? – Economically this country is a mess the GOP was in charge the last 8 years can’t blame the Dems, you can now say that McCain is a Dem and Bush just wanted to be liked. Conservatives are now an endangered specie! – Don’t Blame Palin for loosing in 08 blame Rush Limbaugh and his army of Neo-Con fatcats!

So which republican is going to make the Michael Steele the Magic Negro song?

To all you idiot liberals out there, after the Civil War many blacks were Republican because of Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation. It was the party of African Americans until mistakes were made from Theodore Roosevelt.

what a gimmick…no surprise…no new ideas…no room to work together…RUSH must be doing drugs again…

hiroader. Correction, there are more wealthy Democrats then Republicans.

Rush, the KKK and every toothless trailer dwelling bubba with stars and bars on the window are going to form a new political party.

Carl, well at least someone DECIDED to END SLAVERY! The Democratic SOUTH had no intention then!

Its amazing all you lib nuts out there on this comment page say that you are the not racist, compassionate, open minded, willing to help another, yet here you are attacking a Black man leading the RNC. Wow!

Michael Steeles background needs work. I mean not only is he rapist Mike Tyson’s brother in-law, Mike Tyson was a major contributor to all of his campaigns.

simplecake, they started caring with Abraham Lincoln. Yes, sadly it took time for ALL people for over 100 years to come to fully accept African Americans AS AMERICANS and their brethren.

Dave, If I recall, most KLANSMEN in the south were DEMOCRAT.

john brown whats your point, my sister inlaw is peice of work, that doesn’t make me an asshol* because my brother has bad taste

Does he treat women like his brother-in-law does?

Woo hoo!
Guess what: our chairman is BLACKER than YOUR president!
Ha!

At least he’s qualified for his post, unlike Obama.

Well… Isn’t this interesting?
I’d say we Republicans are back and all thanks to Obama and his Socialist agenda of turning the country into a tax-hiked wonderland for lazy people who work off the backs of the productive folks while demanding more and more, just like the spoiled little communist brats they are.
Look out Dems… We’re fired up and it’s all your own fault. Way to go for the Man of Steele!

Here we go. I knew the republicans were going to do this. They are going to start pushing blacks, women, and Hispanic faces standing in front of a SEA OF OLD, WHITE MEN.
Not going to work fellas.

jameseav, wow, you are sooo blind. You sure are coming out as being the Racist here.

saywhat, what is this now, reverse Racism?

THis Michael Steel thing is the best thing for Democrats this year,first MCcain thought he could use Sarah the joke Palin to get Hillary supporters, now it’s a black man as Chairman….well too late Republicans .

When McCain chose Palin for his vice, she got overwhelming support from all the women in this country, especially the one’s who were mad about Hillary not being their girl. Now that the Reps have chosen this guy to be their chairman, Afro-Americans won’t be able to help themselves, but vote Republican in 2012. Great move Republicans. Palin for president and Steele for vice. What a combination!

What’s wrong, Democrats?
Sad because you can’t have a monopoly on blacks?!?
Fools.

You are totally missing the point here. Well…. I don’t believe you are missing the point, you are just ignoring the 2000 pound gorilla in the corner.
The problem is not with Michael Steele. It is with the Republican Party. A party that has steered clear of African Americans until NOW….. when it is quite evident that they need minorities to win again.
I just hope the change will BECOME genuine. I know it’s just a strategic measure now.

What’s the word i am looking for……ummmm. It’s coming ahhhhh……..#$%^. Oh i remember now the word i am looking for is “TOKEN”!

Charles, are you rewriting history? That Lincoln wasn’t a Republican and the KKK were Republicans as well? Last I looked, Lincoln was a Republican and many Confederates who hated the Republican North and Blacks joined the Democratic Party and some formed the KKK.

“Strategery”?
The ghost of GW still lingers…

It drove the republicans crazy when they had to be under the leadership of one black man. Now they are under the leadership of two black men. They must be dry cleaning their white robes and getting those crosses ready to burn.

It’s your party that categorizes people based on skin color, or gender, or age, or social class, and on and on. We’re seeing that pretty clearly in these comments!

===============
Instead of saying categorize I would say celebrate. We celebrate our diversity.
Judging from all the political rallies i have ever seen, looks like only ONE party going on in the GOP ranks.

Obama wasn’t even born in the U.S. so I guess Steele has a shot at being the first African-American President afterall. The Dems need to check their peps a little better. The truth will come out.

Good I’m a Democrat that support the Republicans voting in an African-American. They know what time it is and they had better get with the program. Maybe now they can come out of the closet and let people know what their party stands for. It had better be the middle class even if its the six figure middle class. The United States should be held together by the middle class that’s it. Everyone is not going to be rich and everybody is not going to be wealthy but with Education everybody can be middle class. That should be the goal and the way to balance America. Level the playing field by doing nothing to hamper people’s opportunity to become a part of the middle class upper or lower because a tool (Education) is the equalizer. From there its talent and hard work to get to the goal for every American.

Diane said: “Blacks in Maryland rejected this clown and so will the rest of them in the country.” Blacks always vote for Democrats, even though it’s against their best interests. What’s your point? Again, why do you care? You won. Enjoy the unity Obama has brought us.

African Americans, like all other Americans, are free to vote Republican if we wish.
You racist Democrats need to let us without putting a label on us.

Obama wasn’t even born in the U.S.

When did HI stop being a state?
truth? Not a good name for you…

Carl,
Even his own family members are testifying to his birth in Kenya. Last time I checked thats a long way from HI.

Hey Dianne,
My sister and brother-in-law live in PG County,Md and they just called and said that their phone has been ringing off the hook. The republicans have really blown it with this guy if they think that blacks are coming their way. All they did was pi$$ off the hillbilly, rush lintball crowd.
BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!

Hey gravy…. Michael Steele’s skin color is the same as Obama’s so that mean someone in his family has been fooling around with the slave owners !!

truth…
What family members are,”testifying to his birth in Kenya”?
Come on Rush, fill us in on the breaking news.

You dems are just the most hateful ugly people around. You get to decide who is a token black and who is real..No one should be called Token anything. Especially when discussing people who have most likely achieved mountains more than the Whiners responding in this blog. IF there is going to be any change in this country there has got to be some respect for people. and I don’t care if we lost the bubba vote..if its just because they don’t like blacks. This blog blatantly shows why America is on its way down. All hateful rhetoric and no solutions. Killing millions of unborn children more than all wars combined and now funding abortions in other countries, and experimenting with embryos, human life. For the first time I am actually embarrassed to be an American.. And I know your token black remarks would even sadden President Obama and completely tarnishes the new “Camelot”. Keep it up Dems – there will be nothing worth living in the United States for in a very few number of years.

Mr Twister,
You’re correct O did seal his birth record, just shortly after he was court ordered to resign his lawyers license due to his use of cocaine and false names (which he admits in his books)
…why is this guy the dems golden boy?? They should be EMBARRASSED!
p.s. Michelle was ordered by a court to give up her lawyers license too! huh??!!

Obama: 50% European + 50% Kenyan
Steele: 100% African-American
Obama, you might as well leave your bags packed! Our first real black president is on his way!

You republicans that are so happy and full of glee, better do your research on Steele and Maryland politics. You guys jumped to conclusion with Palin, and this is going to be another huge let-down.
Remember “Hillary supporters will come running?”

gravy,
look it up for yourself..

Why did Emanuel go to Africa over Christmas holiday? I’m so sure it was for a family vaca. He couldn’t possibly be there to quiet up all O’s family members who say they were present at his birth.
Quit drinking the kool-aid and listening to everything thats on NBC!

I bet Mr. Steele would let us see his birth certificate.
Steele 2012

How is a many who couldnt even get elected Governor of Maryland going to help the GOP take back the House, Senate and White House?

Mr. Twister my point is the government is involved in every aspect of our lives and Republicans are no different! They say they are for less government but their actions say differently! I feel most Americans are not extreme liberals or ultra conservatives they are middle of the road and might waver left or right a little. What I’m saying is we ALL need to work together to bring this great country back!

“I bet Mr. Steele would let us see his birth certificate.
Steele 2012″-Chicago Republican
What happens to poor Sarah now?
And what happened to, “Palin in 2012″?
I guess the Reps have a new token.

gravy,
you’re reply to my URL which states more than 50 plantiffs who are against o’s claim of being a natural born Cit. and pointing out his cocain use and his use of false names and him and his wife, michelle’s court order to resign both their licenses to practice law anywhere in this country is…..I’m the one drinking too much Kool-aid? interesting rebuttal. funny thing is thats always the rebuttal, there’s never a real justification from any o supporters to all his wrong-doing.

ricky1234 I do agree with that. Less Government is good and yes, we all need to get the economy working.

Michael Steele is a man who throws around the race card when it suits him like OREOS, then is an apologist for Republicans holding fundraisers at a country club that doesnt allow non white members. And as far as I know Michael Steele still believes in affirmative action, but I still hear the GOP cheerleaders. LOL

“I guess the only way your are validated as a black politican is when you are interviewed by Oprah.”-boxcar
I don’t agree with that at all, who here discounted the man? And I won’t speak for others, but it sure looks like the Republicans are attempting to keep up? First Sarah, and now Steele?
The Dems groomed Obama for years, we’ve seen his rise in the party. Who in he hell are these two?

Gravy,
I repeat…

Why is your rebuttal against me? Shouldn’t it be against O? Not even you can defent him? blame Rush, O’Riley, Culter, and anyone else you want but the truth hurts..you’re guy is a fraud and thats why everyone around him has either been in jail or is going to jail!

Wow Dianne, your a Racist and a chauvenist.

Call it what you want. Women did not come running to Republicans just because they had a female on the ticket, and blacks won’t line up to vote for them because of Steele.

truth…I see you working. lol “against you”? Because YOU are the liar. And it’s Colter, not Cutler, he’s a QB in Denver. “been in jail, or going to jail”? List ‘em. And I’ll list the people around GW tht SHOULD be in jail;
Libbey
Cheney
GW
Condi
et al…
Not Colin Powell, he’s a great american who was used by GW. That alone should put Georgy in prison, asking your Secretary of State to LIE to the world about WMD’s? That’s pathetic.

gravy …groomed obama for years???ROFL….BAHAHAHA..He was a senator for how long???? Oh, yeah I forgot about being a community organizer..

gravy,
still no response to my initial posting?? you can’t make any BS up to defend your guy yet?
…sorry Colter…gosh..you’re soo much smarter than I.

boxcar…How long has Obama been in the limelight in the Democratic party?
Now Mr. Steele and Mrs. Palin?
Beside the people who live in these two’s home states, who had heard of them before?

In relative terms they are all unknowns….especially obama.

Another dumb gimmick by the GOP. You people are sad.

My My, how excited you all can get. I don’t believe people are putting Mr. Steel down, it’s his party, or rather those at the top. So many have said what I think so no need saying it over. However, I will ask the question, if you paint an apple blue, is it still not an apple? Changing the RNC leadership doesn’t change their way of thinking. It’s all about big business and money. Of course no matter which party one belong to, isn’t MONEY the controling factor? Yes It Is!

If I’ve learned one thing in the last year, it’s that Democrats are racist and sexist. Which makes them also hypocrites.

No-bama | Jan 30, 2009 8:31:30 PM……..so true

Well, I’m a republican and I believe that this was a stupid move. Michael Steele may, or may not, be a good man. But this just looks like another gimmick. Fair or unfair, that’s the way it looks.

Ken | Jan 30, 2009 8:27:22 PM its pretty clear that the majority of the wealthy and hollywood types are democrats.

Tears in my eyes. It has been one year Obama is Commander in Chief and Steele is head of the RNC reminds me of White Man Burden (a must see). God has finally answered the Black/African-American dream we will rule (minorities) and whites will be out and we will finally become the dominant party. Eat your heart out! RNC bow down to your black man in charge…..

Deb…How is he more experienced, or more impressive? Not all of saw what you saw…”incredulous”? Really? lol

Gravy, I was beyond disillusioned and disheartened by Preident Bush and to this day cannot figure out he was elected. I served as a nurse during Viet Nam, I am an Independent who never took the Presidency seriously until Al Gore, in my opinion, stolen from him. I promised myself I would tape and watched every single “News” channel. I kept my promise and Mr. Steele was a commentator on a coupe of cable news shows. Sorry, he impressed me. I found him infored and thoughtful. He is a moderate and I believed him. Do any of us know these poiliticans? Its a “gut” thing, I coud be wrong but I believe the Republicans are finally headed in the “right direction”. I could care less about his “color” unlike many Democrats who seem to believe “color” is a criteria for being “qualified”. I support my President and want him to succeed. We won’t be considering another election for approximately two years, so why don’t we focus on how we can help our economy and world image.

I wonder how Sean Hannity will reconcile his support for Michael Steele with Hal from North Bergen?!?! This is going to be interesting…maybe I should drop a twenty on Intrade that Michael Steele will recuse himself from the duties as RNC chair due to “family issue” in about six months.

Why the inferences to Michael Steele’s wife?

Congratulations to Michael Steele on becoming the GOP leader. I am so glad you are a faithful Catholic Christian. President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have totally buried moral issues in the deepest ground with using Obama’s population. I wish and pray you can display a strong leadership unto GOP as well as DNC and Pelosi who is same Catholic, but support of killing unborn babies, breaking of God’s creations.

I am a Democrat who has watched Michael Steele a lot over the past two years, and I have been more than impressed by the man. Before you label him anything other than an accomplished, articulate, honorable man, read his history and watch him in action. He is special, and I commend the Republicans for choosing him.

They have made the switch to 21st century finally If I could meet the requirements to qualify for a run for congress I am willing to leave the democratic party behind and forge a new future I just believe deep down in my gut that I would never get my conservative voice heard by my own fellow dems, and if a GOP would be interested in listening to my ideas I think its time for this to understand just because youre black, hispanic, asian republican you labeled a sell out or uncle tom, or token black, this needs to end, ideology has wide spectrum just like rainbow and its time to stop demonizing people because they dont want to be like you and be themselves comfortable in their own skin.

I get it already, all I needed to hear was this new token of the RNC was not even a member of the RNC before they made him their chairman? Is this the needed change the GOP so deparately need? If they were going for transparency they got that with this pick, the voters see right through this BULL.

Has he cheated on his taxes??

You liberal cynics can degrade Michael Steele as you do all blacks that are in the GOP. However, he is the REAL DEAL. Shack in you boots because the conservatives are organizing the base and when we do; YOU LOSE!

I agree Angie, now what will Rush Limbaugh sing? Its funny how people who label themselves Republican or coservative accuse so called Dems and Libs of always pointing to race, but it is evident that they are doing just that.
There is no doubt that both the Democractic and Republican parties have had issues with race, and in particular blacks and hispanics in leadership roles.
However, in this case a straight faced argument can surely be made that the Dems put forth who they thought would be the best candidate against the Republicans.
If it were just an issue of racing the Republicans to the “who is the first party to stop oppression” game, then let me remind them that Hilary Clinton could be sitting as our first woman president, something that they had not seemed to even fathom until she lost the Democractic nomination to Obama.
Then Republicans insult the women in their party and angry feminist Dems with Sarah Palin who no doubt had some intelligence, but extreme ignorance as to both national and International issues so very pertinent to the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
If the GOP supporters do not perceive the nomination of Steele as just another gimmick then they are as naive as Governor’s whose foreign policy begins and ends with a view of Russia from Alaska.
John McCain failed, so now they are trying to put a black face on the same old rhetoric. Its like giving plastic surgery to Adolph Hitler, you may change his face, but his heart is still evil.

The Republicans are back-peddling big time! They came up with a token woman for the general election to try to win over women’s votes of the Democrats and now they have selected a black man to head the RNC. Don’t they have any original ideas? Most people will see right through this. Republicans want African Americans in their party about as much as they want a bad case of poison ivy. If anyone watched even a small part of the Republican Convention, you’d be hard pressed to find a dark-skinned person there. The concept of a black person leading anything for the Republicans is so foreign to them it’s astounding. The have made this move to try to show Americans they want to include everyone now. Unless they talk the talk and walk the walk, this appointment of Steele will be seen just for what it is; a phoney attempt to try to convince all the people they never wanted part of their party, that they want them now. They need to do more than vote in a black man as their RNC chair to prove they are truly sincere and understand what main-stream Americans need. The Republican still don’t get it, just listen to Rush Limbaugh. He represents the Republican mindset so don’t be fooled by their selection of Steele; he’s just their window dressing for the minute.

Anyone who has read Sarah Palin’s impressive resume knows that the left’s constant attacks on her as a “token” candidate are because they fear her and the overwhelming support she has garnered from conservative Republicans all over the country. Her credentials are real, based on her record in public service and her approval rating from the people she governs. Contrast that to Barack Obama’s lackluster career in public office and his elevation to the highest position in our land based on media adulation and constant refusal to judge him on his actions rather than the “inspiring” rhetoric that is after all, just words. Sarah Palin has walked the walk in both her personal and professional lives. Barack Obama talks the talk, and talks and talks and talks…… how many campaign promises will he have to break before you realize that his deeds belie his words at every turn?

I’m a black conservative woman. Frankly, the comments here by Democrats regarding Michael Steele being a “Token Black” and “Uncle Tom” are highly offensive.
I have closely followed Michael Steele’s career since his appearance at the 2004 Republican Convention. Mr. Steele is highly intelligent, qualified, and articulate. He has worked long and hard to obtain the RNC Chairmanship and deserves it! That’s why he got it. In fact, there have been talks about him being the next chairman for a few years. It has nothing to do with tokenism or the RNC trying to trump Obama’s election as America’s first black president. Nothing!!
The negative comments on this board about Michael Steele’s nomination just illustrate the ignorance and prejudice of the commentators. Democrats always try to marginalize black conservatives as “Uncle Toms’” or “Token Blacks’”. Is it because we dare to engage in critical thought and refuse to think in lock-step with others? We refuse to play victim? We believe in personal responsibility? We believe that it’s not the government’s job to support us and our families?
To Marlene who posted, “racist behavior and their stance of intolerance.” Can you please provide examples this behavior? Are you saying that there are no racist white democrats?
“Black people are not going to flock to the GOP just because of Steele. We are not as stupid as you GOP believe we are.”
Are you sure Marlene? Blacks vote 90% democrat, collectively. The percentage implies that most who share our race aren’t capable of thinking for themselves as individuals. The presumption that you and all blacks think alike is proof of that!
That’s how I see it anyway.

This is just the RNC’s way of trying to “one up” the DNC. Do you honestly think for one second he was nominated solely on his experience????? HA HA HA HA HA HA! Nice try RNC but the American public isn’t as dumb as you think we are!

Alexander the great didn’t get as far as he did by singing we are the world. I agree we should all hold hands and run free in the field of flowers but get real. Just as soon as you think we have peace and comfort reality kicks in the form of real conflict. Which has lasted for centuries and it is not going to “change” until mothernature says so we can pretend everythings OKAY and stick our head in the ground but real human nature will always overpower the weak, which seems to always be the peaceful. This is well above me as one human to another though assuming all wars are over and division is unified is asking for trouble.

JohnW – your comments below couldnt be more to the point. these bloggers on here (if only their mothers could see what ignorant hatred they wright) have been poisoned by the lefts’ propoganda.
With posters like Angie, Annie, and Sandra, I don’t even know where to begin. It’s clear their minds are poisoned by all sorts of preconceived notions and propaganda spoon-fed to them by the left. Their world views are extremely limited. I’ve found it’s usually a waste of time to present alternative views to people that are bitter like that, so I don’t even try anymore.

it really seems not many of you really get the real picture here, it is not white black or hispanic, it is our values that got lost down the road somewhere. look at Mr. McCain very much in the center, that didn’t do it now did it? the problem is we need to stop looking for a class of people that are of a race or color, but look to attrack the people that love our Constitution and Bill of Rights and yes; freedom, with Obama we are loosing our freedoms and rights. this must be stopped, they are our servants, we are not theres. so we need to keep to our real core values, we are on the right side and we need to return. it will not be long before the people that voted for Obama wake up and realize he just robbed our whole country and none of the money will be spent to stimulate anything except the pockets of who Obama owes that bought him this white house, we need not to make this 850 billion dollar mistake, the liberals want to distroy our economy; this is the only way they can make bigger government, which is bigger problems for freedom, i am a NRA member and i am not going to let my servant tell me what i bought legal i can’t own, i say no, this country is the last free Nation on this planet, do you really want to be an other Cuba, or Russia? i don’t think you want to be slaves. so we conservatives must stay to the far right and vote the way we believe not vote to please others. i love my God and my guns and i am keeping them both, wake up everyone, we are loosing more than a party, America is loosing our freedoms just because of one election. i plan to push back and shrink government and give the power back to us the people. you must do so as well if you want to stay a free Nation. fight the good fight, remember this is the land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE. it is a government for the people by the people, we have rights and we must keep them no matter what some beauocrat tells you. email and call your reps and senators and make them stick to there promises, just like Obama promised to leave our 2nd amendment alone, well as you all can see, our first black president is a liar, not what you would want to have on your record of being the first, we need to remove every congress person and senator that we can in 2010, to even the power, then take the white house, by then i am sure with all Obama is doing the country is going to be very mad, because there will be no tax breaks for the so called middle class, they plan on taking everyones money yours included and what give us a 500 dollar check of our own money to do what with? please, the dems don’t know what the heck they are doing and must be removed. i tried to give Obama a chance; right up until he broke his promises to up hold the Constitution which should put him in jail, we he declared war on our unborn innocent children that was it, and then come to find out that we the people will pay for it, no i am sorry, chance gone and i pray he will be as well. join the NRA and stand with millions of Americans that want to keep our America free under the Constitution. be blessed and please wake up, this is not a joke. i miss president Reagan. his values and ideals will return, because they work.

27 years AFTER the Dems elect the first black man to head up the Dem Party, here comes the Reps limping along with poor Michael Steele. Yet, they are SOOO proud of their accomplishment, like it means diddly to getting votes.

Sorry GOP, you just lost my vote. I probably won’t vote for the Democrats, but I sure won’t be voting GOP anymore. Katon Dawson is a good Christian man and you people spit in his face by electing this Steele person.

Angie – You have NO idea what your talking about. Steele is a great Christian too, even nearly became a priest, you are obvious an obama supporter pretending to be put out by the republicans. If you knew anything about Steele (which you obv. dont) then you’d know he’s a great republican, he’s on fox all the time as a political analyst and he knows his stuff. it was the best choice and a great choice for the GOP.
And Judy – it was the beloved Dems that started the KKK, and slavery. So now you know this will you go back to supporting your grassroots ?

The times, they are a-changin’. Soon all races and ethnic groups will be minorities. There will be no majority group. The GOP can pander to its white fundamentalist base by yelling things like “illegal aliens,” and the Hispanics will just vote against them. The GOP can elected a fundamentalist Catholic chair who comes from a church that attacks gays and refuses to ordain women, and the gays and many women will just vote against them. The GOP can elected a chairman whose first speech is about how he pulled himself up by his own bootstraps implying it is their own fault that poor Blacks are poor, and a lot of Blacks will vote against them. Or they can elect a chairman who is a drill, baby, drill, and the environmentalists will vote against them. And most of all, the GOP can pander to the rich CEOs who are getting billions in bonuses, while millions of ordinary people are losing jobs, homes, health care and retirement, and a lot of ordinary people will vote against them. If the GOP is going to become an umbrella party, they are going to have to be more inclusive than they are now. And Steele doesn’t change that.

The very old conservative republican party, did not learn anything during this past election, they were not listening,they were not paying attention as their derrieres were kicked, and now they attack the President, using the same rethoric they have used for centuries…Mr Steele is right, they are dinosaurs…and you know what, in case Mr Limbaugh doesn’t know…they’re extinct!!

Let us just see what happens.Already David Duke is having a fit about Steele being elected.At some point Steele and Limbaugh will bump heads.If you read a any of the right wing sites,you will see a lot of racial remarks made about the Obama family.Steele has hard job trying to turn things around in the GOP

What is pathetic is how hateful you Libs are. You just can’t wait to say your nasty, negative comments. If any of you had a brain and actually knew what you were talking about, the man is very intelligent and a good choice. You people are zero tolerance and it is quite sad. You people are ones looking at people’s skin color.

A logical yet unredeeming selection. You can only imagine what chances Michael Steele would’ve had if it hadn’t been for Obama’s thwarting election win. The RNC must face facts. There is a reason why they call it the Grand Old Party. It’s because its usefulness to fulfill the many needs of the people have reached its peak. There is no more grandier political machine. The GOP is made up of old and weary ideology that do not take into account the full spectrum of the ever changing ethnic and diversive masses of the American landscape (something its founders negelected to surmise and accommodate). Unless it is truly sincere and honest about its core values and its objective for their version of Change in the near future (sooner then later) it will no doubt die a slow and repleted death. Good luck.

Most of you sound like a bunch of little kids pushing each other in the chest saying “mine is better then yours”.
Many of you pontificate about what you know nothing about. Get the facts and then carry on an intelligent conversation.
Our country is imploding and all you worry about is if yours is blacker than ours. How about worrying about the scandals that our congressman are involved in and they still are allowed to stay in office. How about the cheating to get someone in office. Our very democracy is at stake!
We are about to lose our sovereignty and all you can do is bicker about the trivia.

You know what it sadnned me as it sadnned many millions. Your heart knows it is all about money or individual popularity. But in anyway you take it, it nausited me. It is shame and it is a disgrase all about you when you sell your skin like that. If they do all this towards Obama think twice , three times and more times about your actions. It is a shame, but it is not late. Come out of this mess we still take you back.
