Can Michael Steele ever catch a break? (Offends conservatives... again)

[ck4829]

Now he offends the homophobic base of the Republican Party.

"Ya gotta love newly-elected RNC Chairman Michael Steele. He's the most fun distraction to arise out of the Republican Party since Idaho's mensroom-footsie-loving Sen. Larry Craig.

Much to the delight of Democrats, who prefer when Republicans eat their own, the former Maryland Lieutenant Governor has found himself in yet another embarrassing shitstorm over comments made in a recent GQ magazine interview. Seems Steele committed partisan heresy for his comments on abortion and homosexuality.

On the subject of being gay, Steele bravely offered up this enlightened philosophy: "I think that there's a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that you just can't simply say, oh, like, 'Tomorrow morning I'm going to stop being gay. It's like saying, 'Tomorrow morning I'm going to stop being black.'""

And I got this in my spy email account from the American Family Association (Who don't sound too happy because they put up a poll asking if Republicans want him to resign):

Steele later issued a statement "clarifying” his comments regarding abortion saying he is “pro-life.”

Steele also disputed the view that being homosexual is a lifestyle choice. "I don't think I've ever really subscribed to that view that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. ...You just can't simply say, oh, like, 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being gay.' It's like saying 'Tomorrow morning I'm gonna stop being black,'" explained Steele.

:rofl:
