The Rude Pundit: One of These Things Is Not Like the Others

[meegbear]

Down there in the lower right hand corner of that photo there is former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele. He was elected to chair the Republican National Committee. He is, as you can tell, a black man, a Republican black man. The Rude Pundit has studied this picture of Republicans gathered at their Republican meeting like he was searching for fucking Waldo.

And as far as he can tell, Michael Steele is the only black person there. Just like Republican America.

The Republican Party is Old Yeller, filthy with rabies, and you know there's only one thing you can do with Old Yeller.

1. This will not endear black voters and will alienate racist white repugs.

While I think there is something inherently wrong with someone who is willing to be the token whatever person.

Maybe some good can come of this.

OK. Now this is seriously funny. The BFF of Tony Perkins (of the Family Research Council), former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke, is going apesh*t over the election of Michael Steele to run the RNC. He refers to the former Maryland Lt. Gov as "Obama Junior" (if only!):

To Hell with the Republican Party!

GOP traitors appoint Obama Junior as Chairman of the Republican Party
I am glad these traitorous leaders of the Republican Party appointed this Black racist, affirmative action advocate to the head of the Republican party because this will lead to a huge revolt among the Republican base. As a former Republican official, I can tell you that millions of rank-and-file Republicans are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore! We will either take the Republican Party back over the next four years or we will say, "To Hell With the Republican Party!" And we will take 90 percent of Republicans with us into a New Party that will take its current place!
I think the insanity of nominating "Mr. Amnesty" John McCain and now this Black racist - will lead to insurgency in the Republican ranks, and a lot of dissidents getting elected in Republican Party primaries around the country. This will result over the next four years a real move by millions of Republicans to take the party back to the populist issues that are not only right but can win for the Republican Party. We must end affirmative action, protect our gun rights and all our constitutional rights, have a moratorium on immigration, we must have protectionism, yes I said protect American businesses and their workers from NAFTA and GATT and the lie of free trade, and we must have America First, not foreign interventionism. Our boys should be home protecting the American borders a not being murdered on the borders of Iraq or Afghanistan. The time as come for Republican Party to stand up to Obama and defend American heritage, rights, and freedom!

...Let's make this abomination in the Republican Party, the last major party of White redoubt, as a rallying cry of resistance

4. The Ku Klux Klan as a new political party! They can finally come out from behind the sheets.

OK, maybe it really isn’t funny, but think about the elections. Think about the stump speeches and the silly posturing, all out in the open. David Dirtbag Duke and his followers could do for racism anti-Catholicism, anti-Communism, nativism, and anti-Semitism what GWB did for rampant capitalism and elitism.

Hell, his website makes it look like HE won it! (if it hasn't changed yet)
