Courtesy of The Hill:CPAC communication director Ian Walters said tonight at the Ronald Reagan dinner: “We elected Mike Steele as chairman because he was a black guy, that was the wrong thing to do.”— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) February 24, 2018
Guests at tables apparently gasped in shock. https://t.co/pRJjNPsM29
Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said Saturday that a suggestion from a CPAC official that Steele was only chosen to lead the RNC because he is black underscores a tense relationship with race within the GOP.
"It’s the groupthink that has emerged within the party that has now poisoned the national dialogue," Steele said on his SiriusXM show "Steele & Ungar."
"To hear it come from a young man ... a minority himself ... it makes it even crazier," Steele added.
His comments came the morning after Ian Walters, the communications director for the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) being held at the National Harbor, Md., told an audience that Steele was only elected RNC chair because "he was a black guy."
Steele offered a bunch of excuses to try and explain why this statement was not true, but come on we all know that it is.
Steele was elected to head the RNC IMMEDIATELY after Barack Obama won the presidency.
The second they announced Steele's appointment I knew why they put him there.
It was for the same reason that they nominated Sarah Palin to be McCain's running mate.
It's called "tokenism" and it is rampant throughout the Republican party.
Remember how Trump referred to that guy behind him as "My black guy."
"See I can't be a racist because I have one of my own black people."
And we know they do this because of a little thing called "projection."
Think back to how many times you have seen some Right Wing dipshit accuse the Democrats of "using the black people," or of only treating them like property that they can manipulate into voting for them, without ever doing anything to meet their needs.
Of course that completely ignores the fact that many of the Democrats ARE African Americans who of course are sympathetic to the needs of their constituents.
But that is what projection is, taking your own despicable traits and projecting them onto others.
If Michael Steele did not realize that he was being used, well then he deserves to have been manipulated by a party that never gave a shit about him, or people like him.
Your writing style, punctuation and grammar are terrible.
ReplyDeleteHey 1:44 PM, Go to the sea of pee where you are welcome. At least Gryphen 'ALLOWS'you to post your silliness.
DeleteYour attitude is terrible. Is that the best you got troll?
DeleteWhen you have no viable rebuttal. Thanks for playing, 1:44 PM!
DeleteGryphen's intentions are usually good but his talents don't lie in writing. I suspect he's sleep deprived a lot.
Delete3:16 PM - and you're a PhD? Perhaps you could move to a "smarter" blog. I LOVE when Gryph hits a nerve.
DeleteAlways amusing when self inflated people like 3:30 try to be all blog cool by resorting to long ago overused terms like 'hit a nerve'.
Delete3:30, you are a nobody, on a nobody blog with maybe 30-50 regular followers lol. This blog and the people on it make zero difference in the world, politically or otherwise.

DeleteThe people on this blog have forgotten more than you will ever hope to learn.
Tell yourself whatever you need to to get through your day honey, but we are the people who are changing the world. And that includes exposing the hoaxing Palins.
3:37 PM - and "I" am not so sorry that Bristol spread her legs once again, this time IN wedlock, and Track is up on domestic abuse charges. You follow who you will, I'll do my own thing. Peace.
DeleteAll these claims of Bristol cheating on Dakota never show even a sliver of proof some I'm gonna call bullshit and wishful thinking on these claims. Not everything is true just because IMers wish it to be so.

Dominionists Head To Trump’s DC Hotel To Bring ‘Heaven’s Rule’ To America
DeleteWhile thousands of conservative political activists gather just outside Washington, D.C., this week for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a gathering of spiritual warriors will pack the Trump International Hotel just blocks from the White House. The sold-out event—The Turnaround: An Appeal to Heaven National Gathering—has been organized by a group of dominionists who consider themselves to be modern-day apostles and prophets, including Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs and Lou Engle.
Event leaders are associated with the New Apostolic Reformation, which believes a triumphant, dominion-taking church will help bring about the return of Christ, and many are part of POTUS Shield, a network of self-described apostles and prophets who believe President Trump was anointed by God to help bring that all about.

DeleteThat's rich! Wonder why Queen Esther wasn't invited? How about 666Pence? Reverend Muthie?
These Dominionists are the ones who actually repeatedly stop paying their mortgages because....rapture! There are inspired business people who prey on these retards (sorry, only word that fits) by selling them promises to take care of their pets, in case the pets aren't raptured. People actually have paid for this service, up front, because...Rapture.
This si how phucking stooopid indoctrination makes people.
1:59. Yeah the devil!
DeleteI am nowhere near being a Republican, but I find Michael Steele's commentary practical and down to earth.
ReplyDeleteI have heard him speak many times; very eloquent. If there's anything this admin doesn't like, it's a smart black man, and now Ben Carson is the token. :)
DeleteAhhh here we go, tar and feather the conservative black man right 3:53? Any black man who holds political convictions that don't fit the mold you liberals made for him right must be labelled with your disgusting racial slurs right 3:53?
DeleteMore like why would any black man (or woman or LGBTQ or minority) in their right mind embrace a political party that makes no secret of their racism, misogynation, bigotry, hatred, etc.
DeleteWhy the poor vote for a party that only serves the rich and repeatedly screws them over I don't understand.
Steele is intelligent and articulate and seems to have integrity. I'm sure none of that was considered when they gave him the job. He represented the Republicans well, much better than they deserved.
I find it surprising that it never occurred to him he might have been chosen because he was black. It was the first thing most of the rest of us thought of.
Steele lost any respect I might have been incubating for him early on, when he expressed his real feelings about Rush Limbaugh, reeling himself back quickly within 48 hours when the base went nuts.
ReplyDeletedvlaries, my man! Good to see you, sir.
DeleteI feel the same over the Oprah #me too speech, and suddenly everyone had her running for president. Good LORD would people just settle down and think for a moment.
I knew as soon as Michael Steele was selected as RNC chair that it was a case of tokenism.
ReplyDeleteI have as much respect for him as anything with an (R) behind their name. They needed a black chair to counter President Obama. He willingly stood up and now whines.

ReplyDeleteThe Republican National Committee used Twitter to ask people to tell President Donald Trump their priorities on Friday night.
And it provoked a series of curt responses.

So sympathy for Mike Steele at all. None whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteHow does it feel to be used, Michael, you can be as worthy and capable as you want. YOU bought into it.
DeleteI think the Republican party put one over on Mr. Steele. I almost feel sorry for him. Seems like a nice guy too! Have watched his interviews numerous times.
ReplyDelete"So Sambo beat the bitch?"-Sarah Louise Palin
ReplyDeleteYES HE DID, and you weren't even running second time.
Delete$arah Alfala Chub dinner - I just want to touch him. SWAT. The Little Rascals would have been proud.
DeleteWas Sara referring to the sexual beating that she got from Glenn Rice and bragged about it? "I fucked a Black man".
DeleteMan you liberal racists can't help yourselves, can you 9:33?
DeleteSarah Palin stated that phrase, so is she the racist that you are describing, 10:46? How many Blacks did Sarah Palin fire when she was elected as Governor?
Delete10:46 doesn't like the comments here, so what is its purpose? Trolling is addictive, get help.
DeleteOnce again, racist Democrats putting a label on minorities that think for themselves, politically or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThe liberals still think they own black people. How racist can you get?
Sure, Jan. We never owned people. Read a book.
DeleteSeriously? I'm an independent have been for years for the likes of you and the crap you spew.
DeletePost about a black man.... AAAAAAACK and out you come like clockwork. Who's the racist?
3:27, who died and left your ignorant ass in charge?
DeleteNo.
DeleteThe Republicans think they own black people.
The Democrats just take them for granted.
No. Democrats take their assumed ownership for granted.
Delete@7:02 AM Are you an expert on race relations? Have you lived a Black life?
DeleteYou race-baiters assume that Blacks can't think for themselves. Your ignorance has no bounds.
Well Michael the shill, managed to bankrupt the RNC and go on to have a successful career as a "republican" on MSNBC.��
ReplyDeleteThat's because you right wing bigots would not hire him.
Deletei picked that up when he was elected back in 09.. it was an early cynical crass move when Obama won ,an early ''me too''moment
ReplyDeleteLook at that picture. In movies they call it "product placement."
ReplyDeleteSee that Democrats still treat people of color like as if they were their pets. What an embarrassment.
ReplyDelete@7:50, your comments are embarrassing. Go stir up your useless shit elsewhere. Try learning proper grammar before making a fool of yourself.
DeleteOh you liberal whiteys 9:26... why do believe black persons should not be able to form their own political opinions and join a political party that suits their convictions?
DeleteSuppose you also think that Condoleezza Rice is a token? Colin Powell? Him too?
It is downright disgusting how Democrats treat minorities.
Sambo beat the bitch-Sarah Palin
DeleteGryph, your comments are spot on. Who in the world would have assumed otherwise.... the republicans appointing a black man to head the rnc, just after america elects a black democrat. Steele was just a useful dummy to attack another black man. i don't know how he lives with himself.
ReplyDeleteJohn McCain should have been removed from the Senate when he did the tokenism,,just like his undocumented hamburgers swallowing albino HOSS daughter "Meghan" (Portuguese for skank) should be pulled off The View and left to ferment somewhere with a bible.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, screw you john.
Is he single?, so is bristol.
ReplyDeleteshe's Saved. Fuck off bristol
Bristol has high standards and will never settle. She also admits that only 2/4 of her boyfriends are good honest people. Joey and Dakota. They’re the only 2 she trusts and who aren’t strangely arrogant.
Delete@6:58 AM Remember Dylan Kolvig(Trig's Daddy)? Ben Barber? Levi Johnston? The DWTS Daddy? The Las Vegas lounge lizard?
DeleteThe boys at Juneau High School who received 'blowjobs' from Bristol and Willow in the stairwells during school?

ReplyDelete"“conservatism . . . destroys what it loves because it will not mend it.”"
Both parties use race in evil ways. The only pure hearted real politicians in history who never lost their souls are McCain and Palin. And they both have no issues admitting fault or failure to boot.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think their kids have high standards and are independent with a strong sense of family. Liberals hate that. Even a 9 yr old boy understands how amazing it is that his grandmother is Sarah Palin and how great she is. And he understands how fucked up some liberals are.
You must love the smell of the stench of the Palins in the morning, and all day long. What positive things have they done for Alaska? What 'Christian Family' has to get a court ordered restraining order against their oldest son? What 'Christian
DeleteFamily condones their oldest daughter mothering babies by several different men outside of marriage? What 'Christian Family' ignores the needs of their DS child?
Remember when Palin destroyed The Homecoming from Hagood Hardy on her flute during the 1884 "beauty"(????) pageant? His estate should take her for all she's got, right down to her implants.
DeleteHe's probably the only one who was surprised. It is the Republican party after all.
ReplyDelete"I'm SHOCKED--SHOCKED..."
ReplyDeleteMr Steele, you seem like an intelligent, thoughtful man. How is it that you not only grew up in the USA, but publicly joined the most racist political organization (outside of the KKK) and naively thought that you might be accepted for yourself, and not the color of your skin??? Honestly???
