Md. Democrats berate Steele, not Dean's stance

The Maryland Democratic Party is calling for an apology from Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele for endorsing a book by an author who accuses Democrats of exploiting blacks but is declining to seek an apology from national party Chairman Howard Dean for describing Republicans as a 'white Christian party.'
'I don't think there is a double standard,' said Derek Walker, spokesman for the state Democratic Party.
Maryland Democratic Party Chairman Terry Lierman, who has initiated a petition drive for Mr. Steele's apology, was unavailable for comment yesterday.

Dean said a few days ago that he hates all Republicans.
Then a couple of days ago Dean said Republicans are all White Christians.
Dean got very angry when Fox news asked him if that meant Dean hates all White Christians.

Especially if you read the article... apparently Lt. Gov. Steele praised the book. The Democrat took quotes from the book and from speeches by the author to string together in the letter demanding Lt. Gov. Steele apologize. There is nothing to indicate that Lt. Gov. Steele was endorsing the speeches, or even whether his comments on the book were made before or after the author made the speeches from which those quotes were taken. I don't think it is reasonable to say that praising a book means you therefore automatically endorse anything the author says for all time.

For example, "Mastery over blacks has always been Democratic Policy. Before it was cotton. Now it is misery." And "Democrats are socialists and we should call them socialists. It's to the Democrats' advantage children grow up poor and uneducated."

Why should he apologize for telling the truth?

He shouldn't because it is the truth but the rats are scared. It hits too close to home. I suspect they believe Mike is going to make a run for governor.

More and more Maryland blacks are starting to echo the phrase "the soft bigotry of low expectations". Drawing attention to this is only going to open up more eyes.

I think we should write Lt. Governor Steele and encourage him to stand his ground, that he is correct and that Conservatives really do believe that "All Men are Created Equal". We need principled leaders to answer the lies and deceptions that are continuously being perpetrated on US by the neo-marxist left. We need to let anyone who is willing to speak the truth that we stand with them both in words and action.

Typical Democrats. You owe us an apology for saying what you believe is true.

More likely, a run for Sarbanes' Senate seat.

DimRats are twisted blind hypocrite fools.
