Here is video of Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele talking with CNN's D.L. Hughley last night, and calling comments made by Rush Limbaugh during his speech to CPAC "incendiary and ugly." Steele said Limbaugh is not the de facto leader of the Republican Party, and that he is an "entertainter."
This is exactly the point Rush Limbaugh was trying to make in his speech. Republicans need to stop worrying about what the D.L. Hughley's think! They will never like conservatives or Republicans, because they are liberals! Steele should not have disavowed, in effect, what Rush said. He should have hammered home the core principles set forth by Limbaugh in his speech. . . . . (Watch Video)

He's another RINO loser POS!
Steele’s chairmanship of the DNC is now officially DOA.
How’s that fund raising going Mr. Steele?
Can’t get over the race thing Mikey?
Is he nuts? Does he not want contributions? You insult or stand AGAINST Rush....you are spitting on your base. Looks like I may have to change my affiliation to INDEPENDENT (until CONSERVATIVE) is allowed. I didn’t leave the Republican party...they left me.
If the Republican didn’t behave like wimps and “sheeple” there wouldn’t be a circular firing squad . The target would be straight forward and that is the Democratic Socialist Party .
Pray for Rush’s continued courage.
And a boost for Steele’s...
The Republican Party whores like Steele do not want lines. Instead they want to transcend across ideological plains with the hyper-collectivist who constantly play them like a Stradivarius.
Michael Steele needs to live up to his last name. Don’t give ground. He started well, but he only needed to continue to hold up a mirror to Hughley and watch him squirm.
Another RINO running the RNC....hopefully, there will be a more appropriate GOP of the Republic available to the faithful. The RNC has the same credibility as the dinosaur media it so faithfully serves!
I don’t care what D.L. Hughley thinks about politics. Hughley is a comedian. Can’t they find a serious black man, like Thomas Sowell, to put on the network? Or do they think all black men should be comics, or buffoons like Sharpton?
This is no real surprise to me.
I’ve never been that impressed by anything I have ever
heard from Steele.
But now he’s ascended, Peter Principle-like, to the level
of his incompetence, and has some kind of “official” status. He’s a fool if he thinks he can minimize Rush Limbaugh’s influence in any way: Limbaugh has the most fiercely loyal followers of ANYONE in the MEDIA, and I DO mean ANYONE. Steele, unfortunately, is looking precisely like an inverted Uncle Tom figure, of a kind not only not fit to speak for the ‘new’ Conservative identity of the revived Republican Party, but not even belong in that Party.
Just another across-the-aisle figurehead figure, like you-know-who, whose whole mission is to absorb himself, and all of us, in what is NOW shaping up as the most dangerous and demagogic rush toward a Great Depression, out of which SOCIALISM is supposed to emerge , phoenix-like, out of the ashes. Got news for everyone.....NOTHING is going to emerge out of the ashes, except tyranny. The Enemy we always knew was within, is right there parading itself in front of our faces every day, and we’d better not be afraid to identify it.
Rush certainly not the leader. Operation Chaos remember that. I like the substitutes a lot better than Rush frequently.
“I hadn’t formed an opinion about him until now.”
Dittos to that. Was on the fence, now I’m off. How do we fire him? How do we create a viable third party?
It’s like Rush said, we’re always acting like we’re the minority, letting the dems set the agenda while all we do is react to their bullying. We’ll, they set the agenda with a black president, and the pathetic GOP had to find their own black person to put in the store window. Enough of that crap. We’re always responding to them; we need to start taking the lead and putting them on the defensive for a change.
Well...looks like another loss in 2010....someone should buy this knucklehead a clue.
What do Jindals’ rebuttal, Palin’s Couric interview and Steele’s ‘Rush’ comments all have in commom?
Everyone has a bad day. Steele, quite frankly, should have been positive and said Rush explained conservative principles very well and left it at that.
Mr Steele. How’s that math working out for you?
Approximate numbers
100 Million voters
47 million votes for Palin/McCain
20 million Rush listeners
What did Rush say that was “incendiary and ugly”? I guess the truth is “incendiary and ugly.”
