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)

Just when I think returning to the GOP might be a good idea, I hear crap like this.
Another RINO running the GOP? Shocking. Everybody knows why he was picked and it isn’t because of his ideological conservatism.
He should have just left it at “Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer”. No other comment was necessary.
Or how about defending the first amendment, while he’s at it.
Personally I was jazzed by everything Rush said.
I've never been inspired by Michael Steele's comments on Fox. Now I see why. He's one of "them".
They scored a hit this time. Bad on Steele. Though he is generally a quick thinker, he needs to take some lessons from Ann Coulter to attack the framework of the question, then give the answer - and not the one the MSM wants..
buh bye credibility of Michael Steele-
what little you had with me
knowing what a political campaign loser you were in Maryland with the very folks and factions you claim to be leading the RNC to attract to the GOP
Pray for this man to be courageous! We don’t need any more wimps.
NOR do we need any armchair-patriot GOP circular firing squads.
Perhaps Mr. Steele should be reminded that he can be replaced.
This is the guy that many around here want on the next ticket?
Gee Michael, maybe your BROTHERS will share a spliff w/you later. How pathetic to cave so they can say your bright. He thinks your a wimp and he’s right.
You are the head of the RNC and you don’t want him to fail?
Pray for America
Perhaps we should take up a collection and buy Steele a CLUE!
Where are all those FRiends that where so excited that they named Steele to the job?
I assume you are urging us to pray for Rush Limbaugh? He is the courageous one. I have no objections to a circular firing squad if RINO’s are in the middle
“Incendiary and Ugly”
Sounds like he’s standing up for his “good friends” on the Democrat side.
IMHO
I think Steele might be a Dem plant to destroy the GOP from the inside.
HEY STEELE
Country and free marktets are going to hell in a handbasket WHEN IS THE TIME TO BE INCENDIARY? When its %*$ Gulags for Conservatives?
Thats it I am leaving the party.
I’m not giving the RNC another penny till they cleanse the party of these imposters . Steele is just as bad as Sen.Spinchter ( PA) for making that comment . I really think skin color was the main reason they choose Steele to head the Pubbie Party .
