Michael Steele Should Not Have Apologized [Don't Worry, the mods won't - ZOT!]
Crimson Politics ^ | 3/28/09 | Brian Kane

Posted on 03/28/2009 7:18:23 PM PDT by Crimson Politics

Early this month, Michael Steele said that Rush Limbaugh was "an entertainer" and that his comments were usually "incendiary" and "ugly" on the Hughley Show. As a Republican politician is expected to, he must convince people and compromise on ideas when necessary. Michael Steele was right to emphasize that he is the Republican Party leader not Rush Limbaugh. Later however, he apologized to Rush Limbaugh about those comments, confirming Hughley's fear that Rush Limbaugh was the "De facto leader" of the Republicans.

I don't believe that Steele should have apologized, Rush is not the leader of this party, he's just one voice out of many.

Should try reading his in forum,his repeated opinions speak volumes.Now I`m all for alliances,hell,read MY in forum if you don`t believe,but while I`m willing to work with some who`ve engaged in a small level of what I don`t hold to myself,I`m not going to treat with these kinds of sellouts.They poison our liberty with their moral relativism.In my opinion,thats what turned the party of JFK into the rats of today.Besides,he`s just trying to drum up members for his pathetic Cino site.Maybe JimRob needs to ban the troll,he`s been posting and we don`t need the waste of bandwidth right now.

Thank you.

I truly detest these twenty something punks, still wet behind the ears, coming on FR to tell us how wrong we are and how we should do this or do that. What an arrogant little s**t this troll is!

OK,put me on that list.This guy pissed me off,big time!I`ve been going to numerous conservative sites and trying to establish alliances with them only to have them flame me for trying to recruit,not my intentions,but I guess it`s true that getting conservatives to work together is like trying to herd cats.But this jerk liberal wanna be,comes over here only to recruit for HIS site,not work with us,mind you,just recruit new Republicrats!As if we don`t have enough with DUmmies.So I say, cry havoc and unleash the kittens of war!

whatever it takes to win.

I can hardly credit that someone would make this nakedly Machiavellian statement in public.WHATEVER it takes? Suppose what it took was enslaving or exterminating a race or class of people, would you do that? And do not try to claim that this is impossible, not in a week in which mobs of people are talking about exterminating the families of anyone in the financial industry. Maybe we would need to do that to win -- should we do it?

???? I help CrimsonPolitics, it’s why my username is as such. You asked me if I own it or write for it as a blogger, I do not. I post on the forums.

Anyway you guys seem to have solidified your positions, and you act like Rush Limbaugh is the leader of all conservatives. You act like Rush Limbaugh makes no mistakes, or that he is a good representative of Conservatives. No he’s not, he’s a voice amongst many. At times we like his opinions, and other times he can say the wrong things or criticize the wrong people.

Instead of making logical argumentation, most of you just resort to insults... And then you called me white trash? haha...You sounded a lot like Liberals when I tell them Global warming isn’t real or that Obama is a socialist. They respond exactly the same way.

Why do they keep listening to Rush?

Because he's not a commie?

“There are many educated people that did vote for Obama, and they had some good reasons.”

Well, fill us in on what those “good reasons” to vote for Obama were.

you aren't thinking about winning elections or earning the votes of average citizens, you're thinking about how much you love Rush's opinions.

We'll win elections by converting people to solid, true conservative principles, which are the principles Rush adheres to. I take it you're comfortable with abortion. Michael Steele is. Is that a solid conservative principle? Are you saying we should embrace abortion to garner votes?

We on this board aren't interested in one big happy tent. That's what the DIMocrats want (and, apparently you). We want to win but we don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I suggest you go back to the DU or KOS where your lukewarm, misguided and uninformed ideas would be welcome.

Michael Steele Should Not Have Apologized Made Those Remarks.

Fixed it. It was fine to draw the distinction that Rush is merely "an entertainer". Calling Rush's remarks "incendiary" was moronic. Personally, I don't think that Steele heard said remarks in context, but that didn't stop him from babbling on.

I think many know more about politics than Steele. There are a lot of people who know more about politics than the collective Reps on Capitol hill. Like for example their stupid budget presentation on Friday with no details of even an outline. Now the Dems are tearing them to shreds all weekend. what a stupid move.
