'Party trumps race' for Steele foes

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.

In that case...may I suggest...

...that we use this "non-racist" perfectly legal attack on all Black DemonRAT candidates? After all, we now know that ANYTHING goes...the gloves have been removed, and we do not have to worry about being called "racists" anymore!

Thanks DemonRAT Black Leaders...way to disarm yourselves!

Now if only the (R)'s were not too stupid to use this opening...but that's just wishing for them to have spines, and I know that's not a viable idea...

[ArrogantBustard]

Yet another example of the putrid racism festering at the core of the 'rat party.

[ArrogantBustard]

Let them keep talking.

Freedom of speeck is wonderful. It lets us know who all the idiots are.

[AmishDude]

What's next? "He deserved to die... he's a Republican"?

Yes. That's next. In the case of Mumia Abu Jamal, replace Republican with cop.

[ArrogantBustard]

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

Actually it is coming from the usual suspects. From the KKK lynchings to the "soft bigotry of low expectations" to throwing cookies at candidates, racism is the left's (in general) and the Democrats' (in particular) stock in trade.

With the war going on now, I'm wondering who's more dangerous to this country: The liberals or radical Islam?

[smoothsailing]

It's not just the race baiting, although that's bad enough.Nope, there's Democrat white crime perpetrated against Lt.Gov.Steele as well.

Schumers Plumbers & the DSCC

This is SOR for the party of tolerance. Remember the lovely editorial cartoon depicting Janice Rogers Brown as a mammy? To Orrin Hatch's credit, he blew that one up larger than life and made the Democrats confront their own hatred.

[Rastus]

I'm afraid there's very little difference between the two.

[ArrogantBustard]

The liberals or radical Islam?

Which was more dangerous in 1942: Imperial Japan or National Socialist Germany?

[mlc9852]

And what they've done to Condi Rice. They really are shameless but maybe more people will now see what they really are about.

[KC_Conspirator]

...depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

This is racism.

[jjmcgo]

Was it Reagan's black Housing Secretary Samuel Pierce that had trash and condoms thrown at him by AIDS activists? Or was that another black official of the Reagan administration?
Dems go nuts when Blacks go Republican.

[BrynS728]

Well, I'd love to see this run in the MSM, but of course, they will bury this story. Funny how the black Dems claim authority over what is supposedly "fair" and what isn't. The only thing this proves is their absolute ignorance, and is evidence of the double standard that they constantly perpetuate.

IMO, this type of behavior will only serve to prove they are not fit to lead anyone.

"Sheets" Byrd must be very pleased, in an ironic sort of way.

Racism spans all skin colors.

[GraceCoolidge]

This article has been picked up by Drudge. It's not the headline, but the top story on the left side of the page. May get more visibility. I agree that the more people who read about this, the better.

[Huber]

This could present an opportunity. If Steele supporters incorporate these racist images into ads and posters, it may resonate with blacks who are tired of being told what to think and how to act based on their skin color.

The primary characteristic of a liberal is hypocrisy.

[mlc9852]

I think you're right. Should run the story on BET. And ask Jesse and Al what they think of it, too.

>>the lovely editorial cartoon depicting Janice Rogers Brown as a mammy

That was Condi Rice, but your point is nonetheless valid.
