Steele Claims He Personally Never Attacked Limbaugh: ‘I Was Saying That There Are People Out There’ Who Have
Over the past week, newly-minted RNC chair Michael Steele has been engaged in a tit-for-tat with conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh over who the leader of the GOP is. “I am the de facto leader of the Republican Party,” Steele argued last Saturday on CNN. Steele then jabbed Limbaugh, saying his “whole thing” is “entertainment,” “incendiary,” and “ugly.”
Since then, Steele has been squirming under pressure from Limbaugh’s allies. Not only did he later apologize for crossing Limbaugh, but he refused to say yesterday whether or not he agreed with Limbaugh’s hope that President Obama fails. “My personal opinion doesn’t matter in this,” he said. Now, Steele is denying he criticized Limbaugh at all, telling Sean Hannity last night that he never attacked him in the first place:
STEELE: The point that I’ve been trying to make which is if you go back and listen to that [CNN] exchange, there was no attack on Rush. I was saying that there are people out there who actually want to demonize and use him as a boogie man, but also say that what he is saying is ugly and divisive.
Watch it:
Going back to the tape, as Steele suggested, one can easily see that Steele never attributed his attacks on Limbaugh to “people out there.” In fact, Steele himself called Limbaugh’s “thing” “incendiary” and “ugly”:
STEELE: So let’s put it into context here. Let’s put it into context here. Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh, his whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it’s incendiary. Yes, it’s ugly.
Steele’s public gaffes — such as giving “slum love” to Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and throwing a shout out to “one-armed midgets” — are now worrying key party leaders “that the GOP has made a costly mistake” in going with him as RNC chair.
And despite bowing down to Limbaugh, Steele apparently still has confidence in his firebrand credentials. “I’m in the business of ticking people off,” Steele told the Washington Post yesterday. Indeed, he is in the business of ticking everyone off — everyone except Rush Limbaugh.

March 5th, 2009 at 9:57 amActually, I’d like to be done with Steel and Limbaugh. They’ve had their 15 minutes of media frenzy. Can we get back to actual news yet?
March 5th, 2009 at 9:58 amGeez flippin’ Louise.
OxyBreath is NOT God!
Man up, Steele. Have some balls! You did say it. You did mean it.
As the “de facto leader” of the Republican party, STAND BY WHAT YOU SAID!!!
(Oh wait, maybe “de facto” means one can construe the facts to whatever one wants.)

I didn’t think they were capable of that.
Quick, while they are having a moment of clarity from their collective mental disorders, someone show them ALL their policies from the last 30 years…. Talk about costly mistakes.
March 5th, 2009 at 9:59 amJust a thought.
Isn’t Flush Limpdick’s butt getting a bit sore by now?
March 5th, 2009 at 9:59 amI mean with all the ass-kissing by the Rethugs, he must need at least a case of Preparation H or something. All those rimjobs,
They are all so darned afraid of this big mean blowhard. It boggles the mind. No one has the courage to stand up to him and tell him to stop his hate speech. He has the entire Republican party right where he wants them. However, in order to win an election, you have to have broader support than just the ditto heads.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:01 amSomeone Please send this idiot a shovel, he’s not digging fast enough! What a shameful circus sideshow.

March 5th, 2009 at 10:03 amThat’s gotta count for something.
Doncha just hate it when the kissy-kissy routine turns bad?
March 5th, 2009 at 10:05 amIt doesn’t get much better than this. The GOP is off in the wilderness and taking aim at each other, circular firing squad style. Meanwhile, Obama is spending political capital and his popularity contines to rise. Awesome.

March 5th, 2009 at 10:05 amSTEELE: The point that I’ve been trying to make which is if you go back and listen to that [CNN] exchange, there was no attack on Rush.
So Mr. Steele, if you didn’t attack Rush, why did you apologize to him?
These people really think we are stupid. They think that we can’t listen to what he said and understand what he said. The conservatives must really hate the internet. The Internet makes it hard for them to lie and get away with it.

Is it just me, or are there far too many people out there who look like the governor in “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”?

We all be down with dat! keep dat stuff kickin’ yo!
March 5th, 2009 at 10:09 amInteresting dilemma for the Republicans: They need Rush to put out their talking points, because he has the biggest access, but along with that, they have to put up with the buffoon’s racist, sexist, homophobic comments that don’t serve the Republican Party very well as they try to rebuild.
“Entertainer” indeed. I never thought that I could be entertained so much by Rush Limbaugh without even listening to him…

With this current strategy, they really are regaling themselves to no more than 20-25% of the vote in future elections. Good ;)
March 5th, 2009 at 10:10 amWhen all else fails, bring out the straw man phrase “some people” without identifying them.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:12 am…“that the GOP has made a costly mistake” in going with him as RNC chair.
_____________________________________________________________
A costly mistake? No, no, no — invading a country who had never attacked us was a costly mistake. Denying the evidence of climate change was a costly mistake. Deregulating everything to please fat cats was a costly mistake. Allowing for-profit greedheads destroy our country’s health care system was a costly mistake. The Republicans have made so many mistakes that have TRULY cost our country and our people, that putting a weasel in charge of their party doesn’t even hit the radar.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:16 amSteele has kissed his way so far up Rush’s butt that he’s starting to come out of Limbaugh’s mouth

And I thought the Democrats of the 109th and 110th Congress were wimps. Judging from Rethuglic party behavior in recent days where Limpdick is concerned, the Democrats have backbones of Titanium by comparison.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:18 amThe GOP would be a joke if the party and its adherents weren’t so toxic.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:24 amraynman,
Are you saying Steele kissed a cyst? ewwwwwwwwwww.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:25 amWe know you’re weak, Steele. You don’t need to keep proving it.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:25 amI am not sure about this, it’s just my gut feeling, but Michael Steele will never be effective by chasing the hard core ditto heads. Kissing Limbaugh’s butt and appearing on Hannity only appeals to the really hard core,the ones that gave Bush his 23% approval rating despite Bush’s crumbling empire. These hard core, refuse to believe in reality, types lap up this stuff but in the general scheme of things, they are only a small part of the GOP.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:26 amSteele’s public gaffes … are now worrying key party leaders “that the GOP has made a costly mistake”
– -Doesn’t the GOP wish THEY had picked a Magic Negro too?
March 5th, 2009 at 10:27 amLimbaugh is the head
March 5th, 2009 at 10:30 amSteele is the ditto
Some people are wondering if these two are having an affair.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:32 amThat is what is so delicious about the current predicament in which the Republicans find themselves.
The hard-core right is the only constituency they have left that they can count on, and they’re driving moderates away with the hard-core, vengeful characteristics of that contingent. If they move to appeal to moderates, especially moderates of color, the hard-core wingnuts go crazy. They then move to placate those whiny babies, and the moderates they were trying to entice say, “screw this”. and walk away.
it’s really quite sublime.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:32 amWhere is b-cup to post more of Michael Steele’s remarks and then try to tell us that he wasn’t saying what his words mean?
March 5th, 2009 at 10:33 amYou don’t understand. The Republican Party has imploded to the point where all that remians is the base of racist, sexist, homophobes, and their elitist masters. As such, Rush Limbaugh is now the perfect leader for the Republican Party.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:35 amJust to clear this up… I never spread any rumors about [him], I said that there were people spreading rumors about [him]. I should know, I was one of them.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:40 amPeople mention rush with children often.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:40 amSo wait until rush is all of the republican’s hero, then pull out the pics.

March 5th, 2009 at 10:40 amI officially can’t watch this spectacle anymore. I feel straight-up grief for Michale Steele. This is so embarrassing. Leading the RNC is a suicide mission and if anyone had the skill or presence of mind to lead such a mess, they would have been a Democrat.

March 5th, 2009 at 10:41 amNo matter…… he’ll be replaced by the end of next month – tops.
STEELE: I was saying that there are people (I don’t know who they are) out there (somewhere, I don’t know where) who actually want to demonize and use him as a boogie man, but also say that what he is saying is ugly and divisive.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:42 amCould these people get any more pathetic? Yea, they can.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:42 amI think Steele’s strategy thus far is nothing short of brilliance. There is simply no better way of attracting huge numbers to your party than to keep “ticking people off.” Add in your stalwart support for the failure of the new President, and by definition, the people of America, throw in a generous helping of racism and tone-deafness and you have recipe for a very attractive Big Tent.
As more and more Americans are palpably hurting, losing their home, their savings, their ability to send kids to college, their retirement, nothing pleases more than “ticking people off.” You go, Michael Baby! As Michelle said, “You da Man!”
PEACE
March 5th, 2009 at 10:47 amTo be clear, TRoS and others in the media:
The point that I’ve been trying to make which is if you go back and read that [TP] exchange, there was no attack on B-cup. I was saying that there are people out there who actually want to demonize and use him as a boogie man, but also say that what he is saying is trollish and dishonest.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:48 amyer right, TRoS.
My intent was not to go after B-cup – I have enormous respect for B-cup the Concern Troll. I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.
I went back at that thread and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking, It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make B-cup the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not.
March 5th, 2009 at 10:48 amI just love it how these ignorant fools continue to drown in their own lies and swill. Keep it up oh great protectors of conservatism. Each day you nail your party’s coffin a tad tighter.

March 5th, 2009 at 11:14 amspencers mom, Daryll is currently cloistered and doing penance. I can’t give all the details due to privacy regulations, but a bedpan, a “PTL” t-shirt, a gallon of holy water, and the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy group are involved.
March 5th, 2009 at 11:16 amI am the de facto leader of the Republican Party,” Steele argued last Saturday on CNN.
Here, Mikey, let me give you a quick lesson in legal lingo:
“de juro”, a Latin phrase, means “by or from law.” Juro is the root word for jurisprudence, jury, and justice.
“de facto”, also a Latin phrase, means “by or from fact.” Facto comes from the verb facere, “to do or to make or to produce.” It is the root word for factual, actual, and manufacture. The past tense of that verb is also the root of fiction and fictitious
To sum up: you are the DE JURO leader of the Rethugs: you were elected/appointed to a “leadership” position in your party. But, almost immediately, you have become only a figurehead, a mere token, a babbling mouthpiece.
RushBo, however, is the DE FACTO leader of the Rethugs. He is self-appointed but party-supported. He calls the shots and promulgates the “policies” which the neocons are promoting.
You are a figurehead, Steele. Do you have enough courage to resign for cause? [Hint: "for cause" implies that a person or party is forcing you to do things which violate either your personal ethics or the legal system.]

Rush Limbaugh says:
“My hope, and please understand me when I say this. I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, ‘Well, I hope he succeeds. We’ve got to give him a chance.’ Why? They didn’t give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated, the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I’m not talking about search-and-destroy, but I’ve been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don’t want them to succeed…”
http://mediamatters.org/countyfair/200902270021?show=1
On his radio show last week, Rush Limbaugh, the “unofficial leader” of the Republican Party, declared that it was a “dirty little secret” that “every Republican in this country wants Obama to fail.” “None of them have the guts to say so,” added Limbaugh
n an interview with CNN yesterday, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), the third-ranking House Republican, said “You bet, we want those policies to fail.” Now, in an interview with The Hill, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) admitted that he agrees with Limbaugh:
Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) agreed with Limbaugh on Tuesday.
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/04/vitter-limbaugh-agree/
“I hope [Obama] fails in advancing leftist policy that I strongly disagree with,” Vitter said. “I think what [Limbaugh] was saying was largely what I am saying.”

March 5th, 2009 at 11:23 amTrue enough.
Let’s look at it objectively: no matter what policies Obama enacts, Republicans will oppose them. If the economy improves over the next three years, the public at large will give Obama the credit. And Democrats will have strengthened their hand for Congressional elections.
This is unacceptable to Limbaugh and Republicans.
Therefore, their only hope of succeeding at the ballot box in the next two cycles is for the economy to continue to fail.
You see, there is no practical way for Obama to fail and America to succeed. If America succeeds, Obama will get the credit.

Yes they have. Now they’re just “clarifying” (read: backing down) from their statements now that people are calling them on it. It’s a matter of simple if-then logic. Observe:
Statement p is “Obama fails.” Statement q is “America fails.” I think we can all agree that if p and q are both true, the statement p->q is true. If Obama fails, then America fails.
Therefore, by logical implication, statments ~p->q (If Obama succeeds, then America fails.) and ~p->~q (If Obama succeeds, then America succeeds) are also true (and these conservative commentators can be seen making both statements – America may succeed in getting out of the recession, but will fail by becoming a socialist marxist secret Muslimdom).
The only statement that is untrue is p->~q – If Obama fails, then America succeeds. That is a false proposition, by the logic of the very people making the argument. Therefore, it is a logical impossibility for all these folks to have been saying that they want Obama to fail but America to succeed.
March 5th, 2009 at 11:25 amspencers mom, well the window is open but only because of the smell. Rapture for Daryll can only come after the make-over reveal, which, unfortunately is not one of those one or two day HTV projects.

March 5th, 2009 at 12:05 pmI think you’d better check that and post your retraction in the time I alot you. It should be easy if that statement is true to prove it. See the thing is that most people here no that I don’t do that no matter how ridiculous someone may be as I have a well established no flagging policy. If you fail to address this erroneous statement I will have you labelled a liar and you will most likely end up being forced into another name change.

Scroll up – you can see a few of them posted right here in this thread.
March 5th, 2009 at 12:07 pmOh and Rich S
When you are done showing your evidences as to you blatant mistruth in 101 can we get back to this BS. You know what I don’t think I will have to prove you a liar. It seems you have already done it for me…

March 5th, 2009 at 12:08 pmOh yeah, I get it. That’s why, when Republicans say these awful things, they get on TV and say, “I didn’t really say those awful things.” And, their mouth-breathing, slope-headed base, chants, “See, they didn’t say those awful things, because they just said so.”
March 5th, 2009 at 12:08 pmMike Steele, every time you open your mouth your give Black Men a bad name. BE A MAN YOU SPINELESS PUNK!!! You know what you said to D.L. and now you’re going to start the back paeddling??
March 5th, 2009 at 12:15 pmRNC will have new chair next week.
The new one will last 2 months.
By midterms they’ll have had 3, and campaign coffers will rest at an all-time low.
R’s only hope (and only capability) – launch a big-lie campaign with sights set on ‘12 and perhaps recover parity in the Senate, and that’s as good as their best-case scenario will dare to dream.
Reality bites, huh R’s?
March 5th, 2009 at 12:22 pmIs it just me, or has the tiller of the GOP been grabbed by a gaggle of buffoons and goons?
Everything I hear from that party lately sounds like it’s straight from either Fargo or the Godfather. Maybe Idiocracy, but perhaps that’s too unkind.
March 5th, 2009 at 12:24 pmWell, after all Rush the Drug Addict Dominican Underage Prostitute Abuser told him what to say, what to think and when to think it.
The Repukes are such cowards, Rush’s “Lunatic Following” scares the crap out of them.
March 5th, 2009 at 12:24 pmRich S = scared liar

Yeah, great at embezzling money…

March 5th, 2009 at 12:28 pmMike Steele will settle down and open a p.r. firm with Alan Keyes. Their “product” will suck ass, but they’ll have a real catchy name for the firm. R’s, whose knowledge of quality extends only as far as flooring materials and window treatments will flock to the firm and claim “inoculation from allegations of racism”. Keyes and Steele will laugh at them and grow wealthier than they’d ever imagined, though they will continue to have suspiciously few black friends.
March 5th, 2009 at 12:29 pmLet’s go Rich S…
March 5th, 2009 at 12:39 pmThe clock is ticking. Not only will I haunt your every move I will endlessly point out that you are a fraud as well as a sissy unwilling to assume responsibility for your own words. Is that really want you want are you the type that will just opt for the name change. Either way you end up looking foolish. Wouldn’t the adult thing to do be just to fess up to you mistakes?
Rich S:
March 5th, 2009 at 12:59 pmYou do realize how this makes you look to readers I assume? It is so interesting to me how some people can create and jump through such complex hoops in order to create a scenario in their minds to avoid the obvious.
dbad – don’t – there’s nothing a flouncing twink like rich craves more than angry attention from a riled-up man.
let him find it at some righty shindig – they’ve got lots of angry authoritarian daddy types who know how to make rich feel like a real lady.

RichasS obviously supports Michael Steele, and quite frankly, I totally agree with him on that!
Having someone who appears unable to complete a logical train of thought, who backtracks and spins virtually everything he himself has said, who throws in racially-tinged jingo to appear “hip and mod” and who even other party members don’t acknowledge as their party leader is perfect!
I agree with ya, RichasS, I hope Steele-da-Man stays on as RNC chair for a long time.
PEACE
March 5th, 2009 at 1:00 pmReading over this thread, I’m struck not only by how thoroughly Rich S has been pwned by dbadass, but also by how many varied points have been smacked back into his end of the court, only to have Rich watch them land as winners and skip on by.
He tries to serve up aces but he constantly double-faults.
It’s really an embarrassing performance. Even Mr. Pee and Art Vandelay are embarrassed.
March 5th, 2009 at 1:17 pmHi ralph. Hope all’s well with you/yours. I’ve got some errands to run. Enjoy yourself
