    Oy, that’s offensive. Maybe Steele won’t take it that way?


  2. FuzzFlash says:

    Uncle Tom Steele’s first radio Shill Show for BushCo:

    Handy program title suggestion.

    “I HAVE A NIGHTMARE”


  3. Tony says:

    Yeah, it really would have been more fair to Steele if Novak had compared him to a reputable conservative radio host.

    On second thought, I’m not sure who that’d be…


  4. FuzzFlash says:

    Uncle Tom Steele needs a sassy title for his Shill Show for BushCo.

    How about: “I HAVE A NIGHTMARE”

    After all, everybody knows that MLK was a Rebublican.


  5. pgl says:

    Steele can be for blacks what Michele Malkin is for Asians. Gee – I bet Novak would LOVE that. Gag.


  6. PJF says:

    Like a hole in the head!

    FYI, I spied Grover Norquist dining with Judith Regan last night – a tell all book on the way from Grover and Jack Abramoff?


  7. Kevin says:

    Why do you call him “Uncle Tom?”


  8. budpaul says:

    I don’t get what the big deal with Steele is. Is it because he’s a black Republican? He’s not the first black Republican nor the last; stop pimping him as such.

    He couldn’t because there is no such creature


  10. Kevin says:

    Why do you call him “Uncle Tom?”
    Isn’t that a racial slur?


  11. bumblebums says:

    Well, he has blowhard down pat. The guy won’t SHUT UP. The debates were excruciatingly annoying. So, yeah – great career path for this motormouth.


  12. Technodaoist says:

    So they want him to be like Rush…

    What’s his pharmaceutical intake…? and has he been on any kind of sex cruise?

    And most importantly, does he have a criminal record?


  13. Lee says:

    Doesn’t this just go to show what a racist Novak really is? Does he really think the black population are so stupid that they coud be influenced by this guy because of the color of his skin?

    You’re Right. They should not be influenced by the color of his skin but the wisdom of his words. Lets hope the people that call him “Uncle Tom” will listen too.

    Novak is reporting on what Pres Bush’s political advisors are telling Steele to do. Besides the “black Rush Limbaugh” comment (which is apparently also coming from those advisors), Novak doesn’t bring up Steele’s racial background.

    From that perspective, it is the advisors who are making a racial-centered judgement, thinking Steele’s skin color will give him at least as much credibiility as what he thinks or says.

    What seems clear is that Steele is being punished for not toeing the Republican party line and is being demoted from a Cabinet position to being a radio personality.


  16. WaltTheMan says:

    Kevin,
    Actually, Uncle Tom is used by Blacks to describe people who also called Oreos – traitors to their true origins. Clarence Thomas is the prime example.


  17. EconAtheist says:

    Novak actually called him that? Not exactly a rousing endorsement, these days.


  18. Kevin says:

    Comment by WaltTheMan — November 18, 2006 @ 5:10 pm

    How is he a traitor? Because he is successful? Conservative? How is that being a traitor?


  19. CLK says:

    It is BUSH POLITICAL STRATEGISTS, not Novak, who suggest to Steele to become a “black Rush Limbaugh.”.
    Do ya think they noticed that Steele (and Bob Ehrlich, too) lied by representing themselves as Democrats in Maryland’s recent election?
    Could be a smart suggestion, because, like Limbaugh himself, lying is just what a “black Rush Limbaugh” would have to do!

    Oh come on Gregor Samsa … you know as well as I do and most on this board, these guys – Bush Co, Novak and too many other republicans are all in bed together, scratching each others back and now falling from the same tree.

    But I will restate my comment for you Gregor:

    Doesn’t this just go to show what a racist Bush Co, Novak and too many republicans are? Do they really think the black population are so stupid that they could be influenced by this guy because of the color of his skin?


  24. FuzzFlash says:

    Kevin enquires why one would describe Mike Steele as an “Uncle Tom”, if he takes Novakula’s advice and persues a gig as a Rush Limbaugh clone. Kevin,apparantly, doesn’t possess much familiarity with American History and Literature. Gee, maybe Harriet Beecher Stowe was a racist afterall, and she was beating a Tom-Tom drum for make benefit of her glorious, porch-bound, julep suckin’, chair rockin’ masters.
    Kevin, you need to get out more, and while you’re there, check out your local library. Ask the helpful librarian, who is probably a closet Commie, about a book, you know those funny things with pages, titled “Uncle Toms Cabin” by a well known American author.


  25. WaltTheMan says:

    Kevin,

    I assume that you are referring to Clarence Thomas, not the other Oreo.

    To start , he has turned down more Black death penalty appeals than any Justice since John Jay.

    Next, he has consistently ruled against minorities in civil rights and affirmative action cases.

    To top it off, he literally sits on the bench and contributes nothing to the advancement of cases beyond an occasional burp or fart.

    Might I also mention Anita Hill?


  26. Jebus loves me says:

    every time I see Michael Steele, I remember Malcom X’s speach about the two types of African Americans.


  27. Kevin says:

    Kevin,

    I assume that you are referring to Clarence Thomas, not the other Oreo.

    You assume wrong. But that’s a progressive thing I come to expect from you folks.

    To start , he has turned down more Black death penalty appeals than any Justice since John Jay.

    Justice is blind. Would you be happy if he turned over just the black appeals? Or maybe you want him to let everyone on death row live.

    Next, he has consistently ruled against minorities in civil rights and affirmative action cases.

    You are assuming that he should have ruled against them. (you folks shouldn’t assume things. You’re not very good at it) Are you suggesting that he should believe he should rule based on his color?

    To top it off, he literally sits on the bench and contributes nothing to the advancement of cases beyond an occasional burp or fart.

    Are you stalking the court? I’ve read some of his decisions. Have you?

    Might I also mention Anita Hill?

    Comment by WaltTheMan — November 18, 2006 @ 6:38

    You can but I will mention Monica and Paula. I can’t remember the name of the little cutie Jessie use to keep on the side.


  28. mighty aphrodite says:

    Michael Steele has the depth of character to withstand the withering prejudice of ignorant progressives. He also has the courage to get off the liberal plantation and look beyond the hopelessness of the liberal/victim mindset. I predict the Dem controlled and racially prejudiced union thugs in Maryland can be defeated next time…..


  29. Kevin says:

    MA you are the best.


  30. ProgressiveKen says:

    Obviously there weren’t enough Black propagandists working for Bush and the Republicans list last election cycle to swing the minority vote toward the cons. It looks like the Republicans are hitting Goebell’s playbook hard this election cycle in preparation for 08. This would be a good time for someone to approach Ray Taliaffero at KGO San Francisco for National syndication. No offense to Radical Russ but Ray Taliaferro at KGO would’ve been my choice to fill any open time slot and he could counter any propaganda Michael Steele put out to influence the minority base. Check Ray Taliaferro out weeknights 1am-5am Pacific time at KGO. Ray is probably the longest running Progressive talk show host in the world.


  31. Jay Randal says:

    I have a good idea > how about Steele getting married to Condi Rice and both of them moving to Borneo or some other far off place > lol.

    - Kevin, He has been in the minority in 65% of these cases.

    You are assuming that he should have ruled against them. (you folks shouldn’t assume things. You’re not very good at it) Are you suggesting that he should believe he should rule based on his color?

I’ve always thought part of the beauty of living in an open society was gathering information and making ones’ own decisions. Apparently, SOME in the Prog movement don’t think black people are smart enough to think for themselves. What a pity!! If I threw around the *N** word the way you throw around *cracker*, I would rightfully be called a bigot – just like YOU. Hint to Progs who throw Oreo cookies at Black Repubs – very tacky!!!!!!!!

  44. Zep Tepi says:

    While losing for the U.S. Senate, Steele attracted favorable attention across the country as an eloquent African-American Republican. Bush political strategists [Rove] have told Steele a high-ranking post in the administration’s last two years would curb his independence and cramp his style. Instead, they advised, he could be “a black Rush Limbaugh.”

    He still lost no matter how ‘WISE’ his words Kevin. The Republicans rejected him because of his devisive style which does not fit into the ‘new’ GOP plan for civility in politics. [versus the incivility of pundits]

    They basically told him he was too divisive, as Limbaugh is. In Fact this is a slap in the face to Rush and his followers.

    The GOP doesn’t want any more MA’s, Kevins, Darylls, Glenses, IRI’s, or Exleys. Those that Delay, Scanlon and Rove called NUTS and WACKOS.

    How does it feel to be without a party MA and Kevin?

    Nobody want to hear anymore crazy far right fundamentalist crazy talk. That kind of talk that creates people like Constanaga to send hate mail and threats. If Constanaga had been able to get his hands on Anthrax that nutjob would have sent it for his Goddess Anne and Michelle.

    The craziness of these types is what is doing them in. Steel is yet another to be thrown under the Bus because of his Limbaugh-esque rants. Rove may also go by the wayside for his single party idiotology. Which makes this all the more hypocritical;
    All Republicans are supposed to think the same….because? I’ve always thought part of the beauty of living in an unopen society is one party rule -MA

    BWAAAAAAAAAA!!

    …still a helluva lot more relevant, and intelligent than you…


  46. impeachcheneythenbush says:

    Kevin, hope this helps explain why Michael Steele is being called an “Uncle Tom.”

    “Uncle Tom is a pejorative for an African American who is perceived by other blacks as subservient to White American authority figures, or as seeking ingratiation with them by way of unnecessary accommodation. The term Uncle Tom comes from the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, although there is debate over whether the character himself is deserving of the pejorative attributed to him.[1]

    It is commonly used to describe black people whose political views or allegiances are considered by critics as detrimental to blacks as a group.”


  47. RealScientist says:

    Are you saying because Walt is black he can’t be a raciest?

    Comment by Kevin — November 18, 2006 @ 7:52 pm

    I suppose that anyone can be raciest. And I also suppose that a black man can be a racist. But it is quite a stretch to infer that a black man is racist because he calls another black man an Uncle Tom. But obviously Kevin doesn’t know enough history to understand the historical meaning of the term and judge it in context.


  48. Zep Tepi says:

    It is commonly used to describe black people whose political views or allegiances are considered by critics as detrimental to blacks as a group.”

    Just like Limbaugh!!

    Rush, a drug addict, is a detriment to society [Rush says drug addicts were a detriment to society] and himself!!

    BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!


  49. big papa says:

    impeachchenythenbush #46

    Michael Steele is a TRAITOR because he (like MA, Kevin, and all the other Bushite scum) …

    …espouse political views that are undemocratic, unConstitutional, and unAmerican…

    …his being an “Uncle Tom” is a natural extension for a Black CONNED’servative…

    *******Dear Mr./Ms. Tepid – People like me admire Michael Steele and his ideas. We could care less about his pigmentation. (Unlike progs who notice colour EVERYTHING!!!!!) what is remarkable is how well he did given the breakdown in voter registration. But after having the same stale ideas of Senators Sarbanes and Mikulski for so long, I don’t think Maryland was quite ready for an independent, intelligent black Senator. People who are not lookjng for the government to provide a hammock (but are looking for freedom) will come to see the fraud perpertrated by libs….

    Actually, my roots go back to Hanover (Germany for the uneducated). In my lifetime, I have lived in approximately 30 countries of the World and witnessed the diversity of human races, but at the same time have seen a unifying force. The only areas of the World where I have seen prejudice as a driving force are the American South, South Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent.

    I agree Lee. Ray Taliaferro was the first person that I heard about the Republican’s Project for the New American Century (PNAC) from. He also has the PNAC document posted on the link you provided. PNAC is the “Smoking Gun” that shows how the Republicans sat back and allowed 9/11 to occur because they needed a “2nd Pearl Harbor” to con the American people in supporting an illegal war in Iraq. Ray has led the charge in exposing this document. Check it out at the link Lee posted. http://www.raytal.com

  73. ProgressiveKen says:

    I find it appalling that NeoCons and their Republican lackeys qualify “success” as merely the act of being wealthy. As if being wealthy somehow means that any NeoCon with wealth automatically acquired said wealth through ethical means. Killing people for profit, supporting people that kill people for profit, exploiting or supporting the exploitation of people for proft is not an indication of “success” in my book. The only thing criminals like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ken Lay, Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff and the rest of the Republican cronies are successful at is killing and/or exploiting people for profit. Anyone that supports or resembles the current Republican/NeoCon prototype is sick in the head and definately not a “success” story.

  76. Lune says:

    Thanks trolls. You always give me a good laugh.

    I see the suggestion that Steele go into radio the same kind of slight as “oh, he speaks so well”. It’s his choice though.

    We black folk are very VERY wary of black people who call the end of our civil rights struggle too soon. That’s probably the primary reason there is great distain for black Republicans. I mean, Native Americans rightfully have a treaty and reparation structure that is basically unchallenged. We (blacks) ask to be treated neutrally (Affirmative Action) and it summons massive resistance from Republicans.

  78. paul says:

    Michael Steele is threatening to Democrats because he is an intelligent black man that isn’t buying into the Democratic parties ‘votes for handouts’ agenda. Blacks and whites are waking up and beginning to understand that it is really conservative policies that are truly color blind. The Uncle Tom comments above speak volumes to my point.

    big papa. are you from New Orleans? if you were maybe you would understand what 50 years of liberal government has done for minorities. All these problems you decrie for minorities are the most prevalent were liberal policies have been practiced. Steele understands that for blacks to succeed, they need to be invited off the plantation. If you continue to give the man a fish, does he ever learn to fish?


  81. Karim says:

    Great…another right-wing blowhard. Just what the “liberal media” needs.


  82. big papa says:

    paul,

    “go fish”…


  83. Darin says:

    If Steele was white and had just barely lost his election for the Senate, do you really think that the Republicans would be telling him to do RADIO??

    Comment by paul

    Being a woman, I can’t speak for men. However, if I were given a fish and it tasted good, I would want to know where I could catch (or purchase) some more.
