Sounds like one of those "reverse" apologies, not an apology at all.
Michael Steele is a politician, who like most politicians tells the audience he's talking to what they want to hear. Obama pulled one of these same goofs during his campaign when he said one thing in San Francisco and the opposite thing in Pennsylvania.
Steele and Obama have one thing in common....they're both liberals (and pro affirmative action).
Hopefully the net effect of Steele stepping on his crank like this will be a sharp movement to the right.
Oh great, it it comes again. The righteous republicans trashing one of our own...as usual...doing exactly what the liberals intend...destroy each other!
Steele is not perfect but he’s a good man. I am sure Rush can get over this.
Seriously if you all think Steele is the enemy now, it is over. This party does not stand a chance and you better start forming that perfect conservative party real fast.
The worst thing that the Chair of the RNC (basically the man in charge of fund raising) can do is to insult Rush Limbaugh. 20 million fans and listeners should not be pissed off and saying stupid things about Rush and his great speech at CPAC can only get you in trouble.
As we say in Maryland, “Strong as Steele!”
Time for Republicans to stop fighting among themselves and fight with the stupid ass Democrats.
We need to stop fighting with each other and stop sucking up to Democrats. I’m not interested in what Democrats think. If I thought like a Democrat, I’d be voting for them.
Too little to late for the RINO who panders to black racists and doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to their slander.
stuck on stupid.
Mr. Steele does not get my money.
I do more for the party and for america by investing in Rush 24.7
Maybe a couple million eff you e mails in 12 hours caused some concern?
What the hell is this Steele guy thinking? Either show some balls or don’t not this crap. This guy had two good articles about this, even if it is a bit lefty. www.runninglocal.wordpress.com. I think you have to scroll past some article on spies or something to get to the two about Steele and Rush.

Steele’s ass must be stinging.
More of the mealy mouthed pablum that got us where we are now. Steele should actually watch Rush’s monumental cpac speech and learn how one articulates and promotes philosophical conservatism.
Rule #1 is know what you believe and make the conscious decision to defend it without exception, at all times, everywhere.
Rule #2 is stop apologizing to media types for ideas you say you believe in.
TO STEELE:
Too little.
Too late.
Too pathetic.
Too insincere.
Go away.
You’re not the head of the GOP.
SCRAP Steele!
Conservatives to Conservatives: Create a new party ASAP if above doesn't happen in the next few weeks.
Was Steel speaking English or Obamadamalingo?
It sure sounded like a demeaning and offensive statement to me....
In dueling days -- Steel would have been called into the street...
TRANSLATION: “Ooops. Our polling indicates that conservatives respect Rush more than they respect Steele. MY BAD!”
TO LATE MR. STEELE.
Step down. You are and henceforth will be ineffectual.
What exactly did Rush say that was so offensive? Does anyone have a precise quote?
Frankly, Steele has been very under-whelming. We need a conservative version of Paul Begala who isn’t afraid to call people out.
