Michael Steele: "I found that to be stunning that the White House would send word to 1 of only 2

[jenmito]

Black Governors in the country not to run for re-election..."

That was Steele on Face The Nation IMMEDIATELY after saying Carter shouldn't be playing the race card. Then when Schieffer interrupted, "You don't think he's (Obama's) asked him (Patterson) not to run because he's BLACK..." Steele replied, "Well, I don't think THAT, but I just find, I mean, look, you have so FEW, and if you're looking, if you're saying it's the NUMBERS, then why isn't there a call for those OTHER Democrat :eyes: governors who have low numbers who are in trouble as well..."

Then Schieffer CONTINUES Steele's "original" logic by asking how Steele thinks this will play out in the African-American community and Steele said he'll be very interested to see.

So the whole reason Obama is allegedly stepping in to the Patterson primary IS because he's Black?! :eyes:

[Arkana]

1. That's rich--accuse the black President of hating black people.

[jenmito]

3. And coming from the black RNC "leader"!

[slampoet]

24. Puctuation error. the quotes go on "black" as well as "leader"

ok maybe that's a little rude.

[jenmito]

25. True. n/t

[Cha]

2. michael steele is a lying jerkoff asshole who hates anyone

Black or White who isn't like him.

[jenmito]

4. Steele is JEALOUS of Obama and has put himself on the same level as Obama

since they're both Black. :eyes:

[Cha]

6. Steele is psychopath and the main reason the republicons have

him for rnc spokesman.

[jenmito]

10. If we Dems. didn't have a Black president there's no WAY Steele would've

be voted RNC spokesman. But Steele doesn't get that.

[Cha]

16. That's right..good point. steele owes his very job

to PO. Talk about biting the hand that feeds your lying mouth.

[and-justice-for-all]

39. Jealousy does run deep in Steele....nt

[Orsino]

40. Steele is the GOP's token...

...which is two kinds of liar, before we even get to his personal deficiencies.

[nini]

5. Ok. all black people are supposed to support each other?

then why is he so anti-Obama?

[jenmito]

7. Great point!

:D

[Cha]

8. Excellent question! michael steele is inserting his foot

in his big stupid mouth again.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. LOL!

I think you have brought up a very interesting point.

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. This is one of the wingnuts' talking points - Obama doesn't like black people

The so-called pro-lifers are claiming abortion is eugenics for the black race in America. And Obama wants to kill off the black race by killing black fetuses.

I know. It doesn't make any sense to me either. :shrug:

[Mz Pip]

12. I get so confused

I thought the talking point was that Obama has a deep seated (or is it seeded?) hatred of white people.

They need to make up their minds. If they had any.

[jenmito]

13. Jeez...

he hates BOTH races according to the crazy RWers.

[quantass]

14. No, the talking point is to make everything about RACE

regardless of how stupid it is. It doesnt matter what it is because their base, and the media will love them for it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. The RW say it is because he was brought up by white people!!!

[nini]

38. but Glenn Beck said he was racist and didn't like white people?

WHO does he like?

I'm so confused!! :D

[jenmito]

15. Someone unrec'ed this thread...

I wish the person would've been brave enough to comment. :eyes:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

17. I find it to be stunning that Michael Steele would be so shitty to 1 of only 1 black presidents in

the country.

[jenmito]

18. So do I!

But I don't think Steele even realizes HE'S Black!

[pot luck]

19. +1

:rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

20. Well by that logic then perhaps you should have been campaigning for the first AA President instead

of voting against him!

[jenmito]

21. Yeah, but that would be logical.

Unlike Steele.

[jenmito]

22. Roger Simon on MTP said the same thing as Steele-

that it will be interesting to see if there's any backlash for Obama not wanting "one of only two Black governors to run for re-election." :eyes:

[Jennicut]

26. Lovely how everyone makes it about race...except Obama himself.

[jenmito]

28. Yeah-and they KNOW Obama doesn't want to talk about it. So they keep it going.

[KingFlorez]

27. As usual, a Republican is contradictory and double standard holding mess

Steele seems to have more gaffes than normal for a party leader.

[madmom]

29. Yup steele is doing such a good job at running the repugs he thought he'd help the dems.

[Phx_Dem]

30. Continuing Steele's logic . . . there has been only 1 black POTUS

in our country's history, which is fewer than the number of black governors we have, so according to Steele's own logic, he should be supporting President Obama.

[butterfly77]

31. I find it quite stunning that Steele thinks that...

anyone gives a damn what he says on the left or right. Steele is a damn joke:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[TomCADem]

32. Apparently, Only The GOP Gets To Throw The Race Card!

[Oregone]

33. Well, it does get him white street cred

So does calling Kanye West a jackass. Ya know, there are a lot of jackasses of all colors out there (Kanye West is a major one, although not as much as Glen Beck), but when you float the black angst publicly it makes whitey happy.

[AspenRose]

34. Why didn't he just come out and say Obama has a deep-seated hatred of black people?

Sheesh :eyes:

[AusDem]

35. Future Michael Steele comment

"Look, its very obvious that Obama hates himself, and a black man working for a predominantly white party, I find that incredibly selfish of him. I mean he could be hating any number of people. and what does this say about the large asian and hispanic populations, why doesn't he hate them equally? Answer me that brother!"

[hootinholler]

36. Micheal Steele is his stage name

He changed it from Uncle Tom.

-Hoot

[Colobo]

37. Michael Steele is an enslaved man.
