Michael Steele Asks That Republicans Stop Being Such Racist Dickwads About Sotomayor


http://wonkette.com/408835/michael-steele-asks-that-republicans-stop-being-such-racist-dickwads-about-sotomayor

Michael Steele, the actual elected-by-his-peers (barely) leader of the Republican Party, continues to have this problem with fat unelected sociopaths such as Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich loudly and boorishly pushing the GOP into forever-fringe third-party nutland. For example, the turds are currently doing the usual fat-white-racist-republican deal of yelling “racist!” at someone who is a different race.

They used to just yell the various racial epithets, but now they have developed this bizarre tactic of instead yelling “racist!” It is, of course, insane. And hapless Michael Steele would like them to stop, because, duh, only 21% of Americans currently identify themselves as Republicans, and as this awful shit continues, it’s going to be 15% and then 10% and pretty soon they’ll just be a dumber, fatter version of Le Pen’s racist fringe party in France, just so crazy proud when they have a big year and get 20 seats in Congress.

Steele was guest-hosting Bill Bennett’s talk-radio show today — apparently Bill Bennett has a wingnut talk-radio show, too — and used his patented fake-sounding hip-hop talk to warn Limbaugh & Co. to stop presenting the Republican philosophy (racism) so honestly:

“I’m excited that a Hispanic woman is in this position,” Steele said. He added that instead of “slammin’ and rammin’” on Sotomayor, Republicans should “acknowledge” the “historic aspect” of the pick and make a “cogent, articulate argument” against her for purely substantive reasons.

Steele warned that because of the attacks, “we get painted as a party that’s against the first Hispanic woman” picked for the Supreme Court.


Yes, that happens when the only people left in your party are mouth-breathing crap-bags whose entire opposition comes down to psychopathic hatred of the colored people with the edumacations.

1. Do people realize
that Michael Steele was once Mike Tyson's brother-in-law?

I can't look at him without thinking of that.

Imagine THOSE Thanksgiving dinners .....................

5. Where was the relation?
Robin Givins?

BTW, I feel so bad for Tyson. Something positive was happening in his life for a change (a movie) and then his kid dies. Very sad.

7. Mike Tyson married Steele's sister,
who was a resident, I think, or maybe still a medical student, at Georgetown. I think they had a couple of kids. Then they divorced.

She's a pediatrician, and a couple of years ago, she came out in favor of stem-cell research after announcing that she'd been diagnosed with MS.

6. Might as well ask them to stop breathing, Michael
It isn't going to happen, and it looks to me like you're going to have to issue another public apology to the de facto capo de tutti capi of the Republican Party. He may not be quite so gracious this time around, though. These uppity public pronouncements of yours are getting to be a habit, Mr. Steele. A very bad habit. Capisce?

I guess he's just a dumbshit 99% of the time.
