I love the “I’m sorry if you’re offended” kind of apology.

You're right. It's exactly a non-apology and a refusal to be accountable for one's own words and actions. I'm sure Rush is too smart to miss that, but I expect he'll be a gentleman and accept the non-apology. That is, if this non-apology was offered in person, which I can't quite tell from the way the article's written.

I hear ya, and it's a good point you make.

But I allow for an ocaaaasional verbal flub.

The evil leftists would love to incite an internecine feud among us. I'll err on the side of keeping order in our house, and hope that everyone (meaning Michael Steele) takes a good lesson from it.

Rush was ON FIRE today. It was a really good show. The amazing thing about his is that he speaks so well extemporaneously.

BTW, should you care to do so, go through my posts and you will find that I supported Blackwell for RNC chair.

Nowhere in my post did I disagree with that. I’m not condemning Rush in any way. I’m ashamed at the way Steele is being treated on this site. I’m willing to accept the man’s apology and move on. Many are not.

Crazy.

We would be better represented by a retarded person than by Michael Steele. He is almost as stupid. He sounds like a dumb jock or something. No one should send a single penny to the RNC so long as this imbecile is in charge.

I'm sure Rush is as forgiving as I am. Apology accepted, Mr. Steele.

NOW GET BACK IN THE GAME AND GET THE DAMN BALL!!!!

"let us not judge Steele based on this one episode"

I'm willing to take a "wait and see" approach with Steele. He made a major mistake. If he's smart, he'll learn from it, and be a better, stronger, leader now. He needs to listen to everything Rush said.

These are unprecedented times. Conservatives are not going to sit idly by, while our country is being torn apart, and our children are turned into indentured servants for the State.

“Will we ever get strong conservatives to represent us again?”

Only if we become people who honor God once again. We are now reaping what we’ve sown.

what’s this Obama urban agenda? Eliminating school vouchers for DC kids stuck in terrible public schools? Eliminating the tax deduction for charities? Encouraging abortion to wipe out black babies?

You also don’t win elections by helping the other side bring down all of your candidates.

I understand the point of avoiding the dims denegrate the opposition by portraying it as composed of ‘right wing shock-jocks.’ But, there has to be a better way to triangulate the attack on the dims and 0bama. I don’t have a problem with GOPers telling a camera that they want the President to succeed, — as long as they do absolutely nothing to help him.

In other words, play the dim “I support the troops, but not their mission” card on them.

In fact, run the dims playbook against them. Blame everything on 0bama. If 0bama ever does something we like, lament that it was too little, too late, etc.. That’s for mass consumption.

For those of us already in strong opposition, work behind the scenes to get the candidates we want. Don’t fight in public.

He’s just trying to give Joe Biden a run for his money in the 2009 Foot in Mouth Competition.

You may have misunderstood me. I am more than willing to accept Steele’s apology and move on. People make mistakes. He apologized. It’s over. Steele and Rush probably both know they share a lot of common ground and will do more for conservatives by presenting a united front.

A couple of sips of that Potomac and they lose their minds regardless of party!

A couple months ago I got a call from the National Republican Party. Their pitch was that they needed my money to fight the RATS is congress. I told them I wasn't about to give them money to solve a problem that they caused. I'm with you, once they get to DC they lose their minds. I think it is a very social town, so in order to be invited to the right parties, you need to think like the rest of the herd.

And being able to type makes you the leader of whom, exactly.

I'll happily answer that when you show where I made that assertion.

You redirect the topic from the evidence of leadership regarding Limbaugh.

Beyond speaking, what does he do?
