I think it's hilarious that the GOP has chosen Michael Steele to be their new Chair.

[hisownpetard]

A clue is what they absolutely do not have!

They are such racists and are running so scared that they think all they
have to do, to counter the amazing support that Obama has garnered, is to put up
another black man.

They really don't understand anything about what's happening in this country
and all over the world.

They don't get it. Any of it.

I'd pity them if I didn't detest them so much!

1. It's a kind of drag, isn't it? Their base must be freaking out like an ant heap

that got trampled on right now.

[hisownpetard]

8. They should go back into their dark cave and stay there.

12. Free Republic keywords for the news

"Richardsteele, RINO, affirmativeaction". Of course in their world, any African American who succeeds at anything is an "affirmative action hire", but they may be telling the truth this time. This has tokenism written all over it. Some comments were supportive, though. One Freeper gushed "now let's Steele back the House and Senate". It seems the desire for a lame pun was so overwhelming that it has stopped them from even pretending that the GOP can actually win elections.

14. Because no black man can really be a Republican, I get it.

[nxylas]

15. Well, I suppose it is pretty rare

Never quite understood why African-Americans would join a party that really doesn't like them. The same goes for gay Republicans, female Republicans and members of any religion (or non-religion) other than Christianity. And non-billionaires.

2. As a Duer who happens to have a lot of AA friends..

this guy stelle is a bug in their world. He doesn't represent what the AA community stands for. They can recognize slime balls when they see one..

[hisownpetard]

9. Of course he doesn't represent the AA community. He's a Republican!

[quantass]

3. Have they not learned from the Palin != Hillary gimmick?

the GOP never learns.

[hisownpetard]

4. You're exactly right. This decision parallels that one and proves, beyond

a shadow of a doubt, how much they don't get it.

[Hellataz]

5. it's a slap in the face to minorities, just like Palin was to women.

The GOP will only ever care about rich heavily religious white folks.

[hisownpetard]

10. Once again, they miss the significance of what's happened/happening in this country

on a huge scale.

They are beyond hope, truly.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. Hopefully this will only facilitate the split within the Republican party between the racists...

and the uber extreme white supremacists.

[snowbear]

7. Seems so strange their RNC Leader boasted about being a DEMOCRAT on his bumper stickers..

.
.

--when he ran for the U.S. Senate (hoping that would get him votes)..

Can you imagine in a million years Democrats electing a DNC Chair that advertised he was a Rethug??!?!?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. I wonder what the 'supremists faction of the GOP' think about this?

[Still Sensible]

13. I promise there's a whole bunch of solid GOP types

sick to their stomach or shitting their pants tonight. Hey if they built a coalition with racism as the first building block, as the republicans did starting more than 40 years ago, that's their problem. Too bad, so sad.

[stevedeshazer]

16. Their answer to Hillary Clinton was Sarah Palin, so...

...why not answer Barack Obama with Michael Steele?

Conservatard logic, ya know.

We'll know we're making progress when they put up a gay candidate. An openly gay candidate, that is.

[Number23]

17. Hilarious is the most apt, perfect description of it. Well, next to pitiful...
