Democrats... The party of inclusion and tolerance... Whatever.

Just a small sample of democratic hatred and racism directed toward Mr. Steele:

'Party trumps race' for Steele foes
By S.A. Miller
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
November 2, 2005


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.

...calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

...Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also obtained a copy of his credit report.

Lisa A. Gladden, a black Baltimore Democrat, said she does not expect her party to pull any punches, including racial jabs at Mr. Steele, in the race to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes. "...Party trumps race, especially on the national level,"

Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, a black Baltimore Democrat, said Mr. Steele invites comparisons to a slave who loves his cruel master or a cookie that is black on the outside and white inside because his conservative political philosophy is, in her view, anti-black.

"Because he is a conservative, he is different than most public blacks, and he is different than most people in our community," she said. "His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people."

In 2001, Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. called Mr. Steele an "Uncle Tom,"

This week, the News Blog -- a liberal Web log run by Steve Gilliard, a black New Yorker -- removed a doctored photo of Mr. Steele that depicted him as a black-faced minstrel.
However, the blog has kept its headline "Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house."
