Michael Steele, speechless.....

[VaYank5150]

I wonder how many RWers are going to call out Steele on his prompt usage of the Race Card.

The sad part is that he's actually correct about him and obama having a 'narrower margin', all things being equal. In this particular case, though, race has nothing to do with the legitimate criticism of GOP spending.

Steele is only using the race card because he trying to gin up sympathy for his poor leadership as Chair.

Since he assumed the Chairmanship of the R.N.C., Michael Steele refused to speculate that the color of his skin had anything to do with his job. Only now, that monies donated to the R.N.C. have been misused does he play his race as a factor in the mix.

Steele's race had nothing to do with his billing the R.N.C. for millions of dollars for the use of private jets or limos. Steele the man, not Steele the black expensed those monies and he was caught.

Repugs wanted a token black, and what they got was a token black who knew he was a token and took advantage of it.

This is exactly what this situation looks like. Are there any GOPers out there who can deny that this is how things have gone down? No pun intended, Larry Craig...

Now Republicans would dare call out Steele for playing the card because only people on the left plays the race card.

Excerpted:

"Few combinations are more poisonous than race and politics. That combination has torn whole nations apart and led to the slaughters of millions in countries around the world.

"You might think we would have learned a lesson from that and stay away from injecting race into political issues. Yet playing the race card has become an increasingly common response to growing public anger at the policies of the Obama administration and the way those policies have been imposed.
