Sort of reminds me of the Usual Suspects. One thing is for sure, it's one of the few times I've stayed through a complete article on Rush Limbaugh without changing the channel out of boredom. <BR/><BR/>The GOP as it was known is dead. Their resurrection will depend upon their evolutional ability to bridge a divide within their own party that is both generational and societal.<BR/><BR/>LuvsupremeLuvsupremehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519992355064809455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276072416212541005.post-5585598128951926062009-03-05T22:04:00.000-05:002009-03-05T22:04:00.000-05:00Micheal Steele is an old Washingtonian and my age....Micheal Steele is an old Washingtonian and my age. Lied that he was raised in 'the ghetto' when in fact he was raised in a nice area where working and middle class blacks lived - but since it was all black in DC, when DC was deeply segregated, he spinned his neighborhood as something ugly when it wasn't to make himself sound like some kind of 'survivor'. Nothing could be further from the truth. <BR/><BR/>Being raised in a era of racism, he should have known better - known that the only thing he could do for man like Rush is shine his shoes. He crossed the line with his 'uppity' criticism. This is why Rush 'punished' him the way he did. <BR/><BR/>If Steele wasn't an opportunistic mercenary for the racist right wing agenda, I'd feel sorry for him. But that's a big IF. <BR/><BR/>He looked lame to everyone except the old school racists by apologizing. If Steele can 'clean up his act', they'll groom him for President in 2012. No doubt they've already had the closed door discussion. Black folks will NEVER love Michael Steele, though. We see through him.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276072416212541005.post-32688577676379558072009-03-05T09:52:00.000-05:002009-03-05T09:52:00.000-05:00Steele is the wrong man for the job. I'm convinced...Steele is the wrong man for the job. I'm convinced that only Newt Gingrich has the gravitas to take on a guy like Rush and put him in his place. The fact that the GOP settled on a relatively meek leaders such as Steele tells you all you need to know. The GOP is a dysfunctional and divided party.King Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083280088830635942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276072416212541005.post-41105438129065525412009-03-04T22:48:00.000-05:002009-03-04T22:48:00.000-05:00What's funny to me is just like Black America says...What's funny to me is just like Black America says their voice has always been here but never heard until Obama. There is another group of people who are in this country who see their points of view being argued by Rush Limbaugh. Now Steele and Jindal are a con to these people so they reject the new republican party. <BR/><BR/>Rush represents the white disenfranchised of America. They would hold their nose and deal with McCain as president but never Obama. So now as they watch their party turn into the Black and Indian Cowboy sounding guy they return to Limbaugh. He is the leader of the party and all they can hope for is for Obama to fail so they can say they were right. If not they will go the way of the Wig Party as just a party in history.<BR/><BR/>D.FreeMan<BR/>www.reachfolk.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276072416212541005.post-40730809181988972832009-03-04T17:40:00.000-05:002009-03-04T17:40:00.000-05:00Thanks for your post!

I think that although Rush is an entertainer, some of what he says makes a lot of sense for many people, not just people with lots of money. <BR/><BR/>Also, what's wrong with someone apologizing if they feel they are wrong? An apology is not a sign of weakness, but of strength and humility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
