RNC member calls on Steele to quit

The Hill ^ | 03/05/09 | Reid Wilson

[tallyhoe]

I second!

[Marysecretary]

Yeah, anything to take our minds off the stimulus package and the budget. Cheez.

[SerpentDove]

The moron went on the warpath against Rush. Flush him down the toilet.

[mojitojoe]

Another lie. He never agreed with anything of the sort. Being ambushed in an “interview” is not agreeing.
___________
I like the quote on your profile, it’s funny.

[mojitojoe]

#203... *snicker* wtg!

[mojitojoe]

Well, I would take Keyes over Steele, I think.
___________
Hell yea and he’s not afraid to call the Communist a Communist and ask to see that real birth certificate.

[cherry]

its in the plan........draw the sheeples attention away from the zillion dollar boondoggle and put it only the Pubs....

grow some cahonies...Pubs.....dissagree throw a few punches and then shake hands....

this is no time for the weak and wimpy.

[mkjessup]

I hope Blackwell stays involved

You and me both, he strikes me as being a good Reagan Republican.

[purplerain]

Fisher went on MSNBC tonight to trash Steele to Rachel Maddow. My teen-age son was channel surfing and called me in to see it. I am VERY suspicious of this lady and her motives. We don’t need people supposedly on our side talking trash to the likes of Maddow.

Michael Steele is the guest for the Bill Bennett program Morning In America which is on right now. As yet he has not been attacked, but of course that could change.

“Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that” -Michael Steele

That's exactly Al Gore's position on the 2nd Amendment...Maybe I'll vote for Al Gore for the RNC chair...

[L,TOWM]

you can say “bitch”

Well, since you consented...
Rude and stupid is no way to go through life, bitch!

The rest of your blathering was indecipherable

Oooh, my bad. Next time we chat, I'll have a four year old draw a nice pretty picture in crayon. You might be able to understand that, but I am not too optimistic.

[L,TOWM]

Now that is an excellent question!

[Bainbridge]

Actually it was completely coherent.
You do not actually advance an articulate
argument. Just name calling.

[rwfromkansas]

I read just fine. They want to apply the conservative principles in a way that would reach hip-hop black culture.

He isn’t saying let’s go do a rap.

come on.

[rwfromkansas]

Some of these people want to see the GOP die a painful death, Dark. That’s what I have come to conclude.....they have such a fear about anything out of the normal for the party.

Now I know why government teachers say conservatism tends to resist change. I used to think that was a simplistic definition, but on FR, it works much of the time.

[Darkwolf377]

.they have such a fear about anything out of the normal for the party.

I wish I could disagree.

I also wish one of these people could explain why presenting CONSERVATIVE values--which is what Steele said, not changing to appeal to "hip hop" audiences, but to show how they should come to US--is a bad thing. Isn't that what we're supposed to be doing--getting more conservatives?

Other than kneejerk racism or simple fear of anything new, I don't understand the problem with this specific statement.

[LibertyRocks]

Here's a working link - I didn't read through the rest of the thread to see if someone already found it, but here is a working link for the interview mentioned by exist earlier... :)
[I'm glad you mentioned this exist... I hadn't heard about this and I agree with Laura, it is VERY bothersome to have someone who supposedly heads the GOP AGREEING that we're all racists! Where do these people come from and who are they really supporting, because they sure aren't very CONSERVATIVE? I'm so tired of all this racism crap. I don't think we'll ever be rid of the charges of racism until SOMEONE with some power says enough is enough... I had hoped Michael Steele would be a great person to be able to really address these issues and "keep it real" for REAL... I guess not. Just another pandering politician.]

Audio from the Laura Ingrahm Interview: Michael Steele on why he agreed Republican Convention like “Nazi Germany”

Thank you so much for the link! I am saddened by this situation. He needs to build alongside other black conservatives, not condemn white conservatives. Why doesn't he have a Sunday morning telecast with Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Star Parker, etc. to discuss the issues? Especially since Sowell and Williams are both economists -- what better time?

I would think less of anyone who would discuss politics publicly with D. L. Hugeley or other so-called comedians. That would be like Sarah Palin having a serious debate with Alex Baldwin.

Blacks really, really need to come to terms with their own racism. There is nothing today's whites can do about slavery having happened. It has happened to whites as well, and it's fully accounted having happened to Jews in the Bible they often thump. Economic oppression also has happened to the Irish and the Scots-Irish in this country, by other white people, and it continues to this day -- I heard Dr. Phil recently refer to an stereotypical emprisoned man as "Bubba" and the audience laughed. There is no ethnic group that has never had oppressed populations. That is why we have a U.S. Constitution. Racist politics destroys the promise of liberty.

[USANJConservative]

I agree. Steele must go. The media in my opinion is not to blame. I blame Steele for saying what he said and for this debacle. I want a real conservative to run the Republican party. He is not a true conservative.
