Once you go black, you never go back.

Weeeelllll, how conveeeeenient.

I heard he was a Muslim.

*shrug* Don't see why it's asinine.

I won't crap on them for trying to mix it up (they kind of have to), but it does seem a bit transparent.

 
mpirooz 2009-01-30 05:06:29 PM  
My guess is they flipped a coin on November 5th to see which Black Republican would be the next RNC Chairman.

Hmm...it was down to "Barack the Magic Negro" guy and a black guy...

Conservative guilt.

Come on Subby, next you'll be telling me that they picked a woman as a VP candidate just to pander to Hillary's supporters.

That's awesome.

And the election of Barack Obama wasn't just as transparent?

How utterly unsuprizing. Typical RNC actions.

No, not really. The people voted him in. This guy was voted in by party hacks.

This is a good thing.

Now when we express our disgust with this guy, we lefties can prove once and for all that it was never about Obama's color!

 
PowerSlacker 2009-01-30 05:09:24 PM  
So only Democrats are allowed to have minorities?


subby's double standard, let me show you it.

 
kpaxoid 2009-01-30 05:09:35 PM  
He smokes.

 
BunkoSquad 2009-01-30 05:10:19 PM  
Man, I don't know why more black people DON'T join the Republican Party. It's apparently like an express train to head of the RNC, the Cabinet, or the Supreme Court.

 
kpaxoid 2009-01-30 05:10:20 PM  
Hangs out with terrorists.

 
kasmel 2009-01-30 05:10:36 PM  
I for one am going to give them the benefit of the doubt here. Claiming that they have ulterior motives without that is no different than calling Obama an affirmative action president.

We'll see what he does as chairman, and if he's an 'empty suit' in time.

FTFA: "...targeted Mr. Steele as being soft on moderates..."

Glad to see Republicans finally addressing the Moderate problem.

 
vernonFL [TotalFark] 2009-01-30 05:11:26 PM  
Steele is a good guy actually. He is from Maryland and he was the Lt. Govenor here. I've met him a few times and he seems smart and with it.

He's conservative but not crazy fundie nuts. He can work with people. I disagree with him on most things but he's no Sarah Palin.

Ok, you got us. Barack Obama was voted in because Barack Obama was voted in.

"Ooh! Ooh! We've got blacks, too! Look! Look over here!"

lol... I love the Republican party these days. So very entertaining.

His grandmother was Dutch.

flannelled fool: Can I see his birth certificate? Wanna be consistent, you know.

So is the birth certificate-gate a black thing or a growing up in foreign countries with foreigner as father thing?

Enlighten me so I too can be consistent.

Maybe Steele matches both criteria. I don't know.

 
Flying Lasagna Monster 2009-01-30 05:12:52 PM  
I bet he knows how to play bass.

Well there goes their base.

So you're going to tell me over 90% of black voters voting Obama isn't transparently based solely on race?

I feel like I can do anything now!

The Republicans don't see colour.

He's not dead, he's a lobbyist.

Not when almost 90% of Blacks historically vote Dem, Copernicus.

Could be an anamoly. Over 90% of black voters voted for the white guy in 04, 00, 96, 92, 88, 84, 80, 76...I'll have to look up the records farther back than that.

 
HansensDisease [TotalFark] 2009-01-30 05:15:23 PM  
Was he wearing a flag pin? That's all that really matters.

 
SeismicJizzer 2009-01-30 05:15:40 PM  
Does it really matter? This party is a joke and will continue to be a joke till they actually get rid of 95% of the crooks they pass off as republicans.


/The real problem is that crazy base of theirs, they need to find a way to keep those nuts marginalized.

gruntmints: o you're going to tell me over 90% of black voters voting Obama isn't transparently based solely on race?

Not when they voted over 90% for Kerry.

 
Paduke 2009-01-30 05:15:50 PM  
Good for Michael Steele to cash in while the getting is good. Having seen this guy on Fox, this is a horrible move. Obama has chunks of corn in his turds more inspiring than this guy.

 
sarcastrophe 2009-01-30 05:15:50 PM  
Another neo-con hack... oh well, fiscal conservatism? nah... WAR! DEBT! JESUS!
