“You’re a liar. Steele never said he wanted the GOP to be more hip-hop.”
Ad hominem attacks are so unbecoming, especially when you are horribly wrong:

I would call you a disgrace, but your posts already reflect that about you. Have a good day.
Shove your “good day”. Doing the bidding of Democrat hit squads puts you in the enemy camp.
Read it.......show me where he wanted the GOP to be more hip-hop like.
What he said is he is going to work on making efforts to reach out to young blacks in the hip-hop culture, for example.
Why is that a bad thing?
Or do you think WASPS should remain the Republican Party until we eventually die a slow death as our party members begin to croak themselves....?

How about we dial down both the name-calling and increase the accuracy of our statements. Red isn't a liar, in that Steele did make comments close to what Red stated; but at the same time, a direct quote of Steele in the article Red cites doesn't say exactly what Red claimed either.
”There was underlying concerns we had become too regionalized and the party needed to reach beyond our comfort” zones, he said, citing defeats in such states as Virginia and North Carolina. “We need messengers to really capture that region - young, Hispanic, black, a cross section ... We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings.”Clearly, Steele isn't saying "the GOP needs to be more hip-hop, but rather that we need to figure out how to convey our principles in a way that those in an urban-suburban hip-hop setting can understand the superiority of conservative principles. In that regard, Steele is right. We will not win with these groups of voters (or with independents or anybody else) by being more like democrats, but we MUST find ways to reach out to these constituencies and convince them that the conservative agenda is better for them.But, he elaborated with a laugh, “we need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets.”
