Critics of Michael Steele's tenure as RNC chairman are motivated by racism, Steele suggested in an interview published today.
Speaking to the Washingtonian Magazine (no online version), Steele wondered why his DNC counterpart doesn't get the same criticism he does.
"I dont see stories about the internal operations of the DNC that I see about this operation," Steele said. "Why? Is it because Michael Steele is the chairman, or is it because a black man is chairman?
The RNC has experienced significant staff turnover since Steele became chairman, especially in the communcations shop. That has prompted speculation about Steele's management style.
Steele's comment about racism, however, will only further anger his Republican critics, who have lamented his repeated gaffes.

This guy needs to go. He is using the same old trick that libs have used for years. MAYBE he is being critisized because he is simply unqualified for the job.

“
I dont see stories about the internal operations of the DNC that I see about this operation,” Steele said. “Why? Is it because Michael Steele is the chairman, or is it because a black man is chairman? It's because while the DNC’s money in the bank has shot up, the RNC’s money in the bank has been decimated under your management.
Plus the DNC Chairman doesn't spend half his tome promoting some book about how to win elections that hasn't even taken place yet, even while collecting full pay as chairman of the party, to the tune of over $200,000 per anum.

Tell you what, Steele. Get the GOP a 20 vote margin in the Senate and an 80 vote margin in the house and a Republican in the White House, and then we’ll see if you’re criticized as much as the other party chairman.
