Michael Steele, New RNC Chairman

I realize I'm a bit late to the RNC Chairman info dance, but I should care to discuss a few items about former Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele.

First, just this past Wednesday, January 28th, I wrote:

Plus, allow me to add this little tidbit: it is hinted that the GOP is going to go again with Robert "Mike" Duncan as RNC Chairman.

Uh, like he did so wonderfully this past year?

One more time, I will put you on notice, RNC: just when I was thinking about donating again, if you leave Hunter in place and refuse to install new blood in the form of, say, Michael Steele, you can kiss any future cash from me quite fare-thee-well.

There HAS to be a change, GOP and, right now, I'm not much impressed.

If you wish to know more about Michael Steele, please go here.

And Mr. Steele does not arrive without some controversy. DELBs (Defeatist, Elitist Leftist Blacks) already put Steele in their gunsights way back in 2005 when The Black Commentator placed both Steele and Ken Blackwell in a racist and disgusting blackface and then wrote:

Uncle Tom. Sellout. Race traitor. Minstrel. Self-hater. Sambo.

African Americans, who have known for centuries that living, breathing, groveling, shuffling characters walk among us who actually match these caricatures, have been put on notice that it is taboo to point out the obvious.

The latest Dem/GOP/corporate assault on Black internal political autonomy targeted The News Blog, operated by Black New Yorker Steve Gilliard. Gilliard altered a photo of Maryland’s Black Republican Lt. Governor, Michael S. Steele, a candidate for U.S. senator, to conform more closely to the historical archetype that Steele’s reflexive subordinate behavior most resembles. “Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house," read the caption under what Gilliard had made to look like a flyer for Steele’s one-man minstrel show.

And so goes life for any OTW (Other Than White) adherer to Conservative ideals because, after all, Demorats fervently believe that it isn't about truly embracing all diversity; it's only about embracing those "minorities" who are properly and only rigidly aligned with Leftism and Socialism.

In response at the time, Bob Parks on Black and Right wrote:

Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican. Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

“Operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also obtained a copy of his credit report -- the only Republican candidate so targeted.

“But black Democrats say there is nothing wrong with "pointing out the obvious. There is a difference between pointing out the obvious and calling someone names," said a campaign spokesman for Kweisi Mfume, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate and former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.”

So there you go.

The first black RNC Chairman, a former Lt. Governor of an entire state, is a traitor to his race, an Uncle Tom, a trembling toady, a sniveling jackanape -- because he doesn't align himself with the Traditional Party of Victims: Demorats.

I'll take Steele. He's no victim.

Mike Duncan? Who knew him? Moreover, who cared?

So: I'll be cutting initial (but much smaller) checks, once again, to the RNC.

I'm predicating larger checks upon some embracement of true Conservatism.

Ball's in your court now, RNC.
