... even liberals can be right once in a while....

[Eagles6]

First time I’ve ever agreed with her.

[deadrock]

Most wouldn’t have voted for 0 if he weren’t black.

‘Steele Would’ve Been Fired Long Time Ago Were He Not Black’

She’s RIGHT!

The GOP insists on playing the RACE card and highlights how idiotic that is.

She’s RIGHT!

[I still care]

Obama would have NEVER been elected if he wasn’t black.

That’s the truth, and they know it no matter what they say.

He’s young, inexperienced in every way, and without record and executive chops.

[Non-Sequitur]

He wouldn’t be RNC chair in the first place if he wasn’t black.

[9YearLurker]

I don’t see how pointing out that someone got a position primarily due to race is in itself racist.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

And it is very ironic [...] to watch them stuck with their affirmative action hire

Heck, even SHE admits it! ;)

[DuncanWaring]

...Michael Steele "is a self-aggrandizing, gaffe-prone incompetent who would have been fired a long time ago were he not black."

True.

Not unlike The Won.

[anniegetyourgun]

Do you think she now understands that many of us dislike Obama’s policies....having nothing to do with his skin color? Nah...that would require her to think logically...or at all.

[Brilliant]

Yes and Obama would not be President if he were not black.

[rhombus]

Most wouldn’t have voted for 0 if he weren’t black.

Can you say Madam President? First gentlemen Bill? White House wedding for Chelsea?

[libh8er]

Baraq will be fired in 2 years even though he is black.

[katiedidit1]

It was okay for all the democrats to use “Iraq is Bush’s war” as their campaign mantra. Where was the outrage from both parties then?

[NoLibZone]

Rush was right.

Positions and attention is given based on color.

I know of another black that is in office solely because of his color.

[hinckley buzzard]

The blind squirrel found an acorn...

[DaxtonBrown]

Actually Cynthia, Obama wouldn’t have been elected for dog catcher if he weren’t black. So what’s your point?

[EGPWS]

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Cynthia Tucker on Sunday said that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele "is a self-aggrandizing, gaffe-prone incompetent who would have been fired a long time ago were he not black."

I don't know who this reporter is however they had better stick to their night job if they aren't black via heritage. If they are black it's okay then.
