'Party trumps race' for Steele foes
The Washington Times ^ | November 2, 2005 | S.A. Miller

Posted on 11/02/2005 8:37:23 AM PST by mlc9852

Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican. Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

Can you imagine the outrage if conservatives were doing this to a black liberal?

This is positively disgusting. Nothing is beneath the leftists. What's next? "He deserved to die... he's a Republican"?

This goes to show how insincere and hypocritical they are when they talk about being the party of tolerance, of caring. This story needs to be spread around the country, far and wide. Your average voter needs to see what they can expect from the Democrat party. Go off the plantation, and anything is fair game to destroy you. They'll tolerate your position only so long as your position matches theirs exactly.

You'll never see this on the MSM. It's indefensible, so it'll be quietly covered up, brushed under the carpet, in hopes it doesn't get out and start a firestorm of a backlash against the "party of inclusion".

We need to get this story out. THIS is the true face of the Democrat party.

Perhaps Steele's wife will feed him fried chicken and butter so that he can die of an early heart attack.

Oopps....that's Clarence Thomas

Let them keep talking. Actually, give them a national forum to do so at least once a week.

They will certainly will lose support of most whites and quite a number of middle class blacks, who are getting sick and tired of all the "Uncle Tom", Oreo jokes

It's not just against African-Americans. Estrada was blocked because "he is Latino" and Alito is mocked because he's Italian.

Yes, the tolerant party. Unless of course you don't agree with them.

If they're already this hysterical it can only mean that they're worried he can win and they see yet another Senate seat potentially slipping away from them.

And calling him an "Uncle Tom" and then saying that isn't a racial comment is a nice touch.

I was going to contribute to Mike Steele anyway. Now I will double the amount.

How great would it be if he were elected president in 2012 or 2016? Left wing hate mongers all over the country would keel over.

These aren't true Democrats, these people are Socialists/Marxists backed by the Communist Party of the USA. Call them what they are - SOCIALISTS! Anti-American Socialists and that is what this fight is all about - a Republic or Socialism! You can bet your bottom $$ that George Soros is in this mix somewhere. Race baiting is just smoke and mirrors for the real agenda – SOCIALISM.

Racism is alive and well in America, it's just not coming from the usual suspects.

Yeah, blacks tend to forget that one of the reasons for Abraham Lincoln's creation of the Republican party, was to respond to the Democrat's radical racial intolerance.
