Sarah Palin said Wednesday that the embattled chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) is "doing a great job."

During an appearance on conservative commentator Sean Hannity's show on the Fox News Channel, Palin said, "I support Michael Steele.... I think he's doing a great job. Michael Steele is an outsider. The machine, I think, is tough to penetrate... I think it's been good to have an independent outsider trying to create some change in the Republican Party."

The former Alaska governor's remarks are in sharp contrast to the comments of other leading Republicans, who have criticized Steele in recent months.

GOP will only get bad press... you guys need to understand that the media WILL NEVER be nice to us... they want us dead... and we should return the sentiment.

steele must go... he only harms America's future while he spreads his racism and idiocy. Sorry... I just cannot agree with your opinion. I respect if fully... but I just cannot see things in that light any longer.

“Well, I hate to break it to you about politicians .... :)”

So true....and I believe the cure for what ills them is term limits.

It was a yes or no question about a deliberately ambiguous subject, and a trick one intended to throw him to the dogs of conservatives

Nothing ambiguous about it. Heck, when even White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, calls Steele out on it for playing the race card, then you know you are uintroble.
Robert Gibbs:
“I think Michael Steele's problem is not the race card, it's the credit card.”
Even the moronic Gibbs get sit.

Gibbs would of course want to downplay the race card.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And anyhow Gibbs is only referring to allegations of a race card.

[dfwgator]

Not a Palin supporter, but it does seem she is just adhering to Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

[SmokingJoe]

That is not the point.
Plus when has 0bama not played the race card?
He's been playing the race card all his life. Henry Luois Gates says “Hello!”
Just this morning we had 0bama playing th race card again:
“Obama says leaving slavery out of Va.’s Confederate History Month ‘an unacceptable omission”

Gibbs called Steele's whining about racism “silly”, which it was. If the RNC had payed $2000 for a visit to a kinky lesbian club under a white RNC Chairman, he'd have been criticized even more then Steele was. Race had nothing to do with it.

That’s just it — Gibbs is only referring to ALLEGATIONS of a race card. He couldn’t admit the real existence of a race card, and his statement is no evidence of such existence.

Gibbs tried to make a mountain out of a molehill statement. Do racial issues give Steele difficulties? Yes. Are they more than minute difficulties? (The question left unasked.) No.

[SmokingJoe]

Gibbs is only referring to ALLEGATIONS of a race card

Nonsense.
"The problems that the Republican National Committee has encountered lately -- most notably the nearly $2,000 that the party paid for a night out for a dozen young party donors at a West Hollywood nightclub with a theme of sexuable bondage -- have not bypassed the attention of the White House.
Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, had this to say this morning about the chairman of the Republican National Committee, who, like the president of the United States, is an African-American: “I think Michael Steele's problem is not the race card, it's the credit card.”
This followed Steele's defense of his leadership of the party amid reports of excessive spending, in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America (see it above) in which the chairman said he has a "slimmer margin'' for error because he is African-American."

Gibbs is talking about Michael Steele whining that it was racism that made people attack him, after the RNC paid $2000 for a visit to a kinky sex club in California.
Stop making things up.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I think you’re making things up. There is no evidence in the earlier statement you quoted.

[SmokingJoe]

Gibbs tried to make a mountain out of a molehill statement.

Oh rubbish!
Steele had already made a mountain out of a molehill. His whine about “racism “ being the reason he was criticised for spending $2000 of donors money on sex clubs, was already all over the news, long before Gibbs said anything about it.

“Do racial issues give Steele difficulties? Yes”

On what planet is that?
Give me just one example where Steele had had “racial difficulties” at the RNC will you?
Is this the same Michael Steele that sacked a big chunk of the mostly white RNC staff when he took over, then spent $18,000 redecorating his office(at a time of deep recession) because it was “to masculine for him”?

You either can't read, or you are blind, or you are living in George Orwell's “1984”. Take your pick.

“Oh rubbish!”
