Well, this is rather appalling.<a href="http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20051101-104932-4054r.htm" target="_self">So this is the shit Michael Steele has to put up.</a>State Sen. Lisa A. Gladden, a black Baltimore Democrat, said she does not expect her party to pull any punches, including racial jabs at Mr. Steele, in the race to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes.     "Party trumps race, especially on the national level," she said. "If you are bold enough to run, you have to take whatever the voters are going to give you. It's democracy, perhaps at its worse, but it is democracy."During the 2002 campaign, Democratic supporters pelted Mr. Steele with Oreo cookies during a gubernatorial debate at Morgan State University in Baltimore.     In 2001, Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. called Mr. Steele an "Uncle Tom," when Mr. Steele headed the state Republican Party. Mr. Miller, Prince George's County Democrat, later apologized for the remark.     "That's not racial. If they call him the "N' word, that's racial," Mrs. Marriott said. "Just because he's black, everything bad you say about him isn't racial." I like the comment about party trumping race.  Good thing that whole "brotherhood" movement doesn't get in the way of belittling a good man for cheap political gain. This is rather distheartening, especially given Democrats are supposed to be the party of tolerance.  Steele isn't exactly an isolated case, though, this seems to happen quite often whenever a black man decides to go Republican and seek a position of political power.  Why is that?  Is it because Dems think that blacks are theirs because of welfare?  Yet when some black person dares show initiative and independent thought by going conservative (Clarence Thomas, Condoleeze Rice, Michael Steele), the liberal blacks (amongst others) demonize him, call him a race traitor, an "Uncle Tom," and whatever else they can think of. I think the relationship between Democrats, entitlement programs, and the majority of blacks is a lot closer to master-slave than the claims that the Ehrlich-Steele relationship is.

<a href="http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/2005/10/simple-sambo-wants-to-move-to-big.html" target="_blank">You think that's bad, look at this.</a>Let
me tell you what that picture there used to be. It was a picture of
Steele in black face. Incredible racism, people like this are scum, and
I'm ashamed that they stand for the same thing I stand for. They really
don't at least in this area. It's fucking horrible. It happened with
Cory Booker when he ran for Mayor of Newark. Booker's a DEMOCRAT, but
Sharpe James successfully passed him off as some sort of Uncle Tom with
some flat out racist tactics for being somewhat moderate.
Unfortunately, most of this comes from other blacks. I really don't
understand it.Michael Steele is still an incredible jackass, though.<a href="http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/2005/10/simple-sambo-wants-to-move-to-big.html" target="_blank"></a>

Being a black lesbian Republican must be the most awful thing on the planet.

It really must be nice to be able to take an anecdote from state politics and attribute it to an entire party. Who needs little inconvienences like perspective or context when you can operate solely on glib generalizations and unsubstantiated inferences? Ho! Ho!

State politics is to politics what beer-gut softball leagues sponsorerd by the local Tast-e-Freeze is to baseball. It's stupid and trivial because nobody is paying attention - except zealots looking for anecdotes to justify a flawed political agenda. It's not unlike the jackass who took it upon himself to link to a story about racist soccer fans in Spain and claim that liberals are hypocrites for not being "outraged" by it. All I'm saying is some people should, maybe, check the TV guide for reruns of Mad About You before digging into the bottom of the political outhouses for shit to keep some stupid ideological war going for no reason.
