Let’s give him one more chance. But let’s try to encourage him to be more assertive and more conservative.

Let’s be nice and see if it helps.

“Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh — his whole thing is entertainment.

Nothing wrong with that

He has this incendiary

Nothing wrong with that

— yes, it's ugly.”

There's the FUBAR.
Michael, words mean everything. Be careful what you say.

That only applied to fellow Republicans.

Steele isn’t a Republican.

I agree... at least, Steele had the good sense to not let the sun set on his mistake.

Rush Limbaugh bores me at times... I KNOW what he will say, before he ever says it..

But, God Bless him... he was ON FIRE this weekend. RUSH is the last person left on earth that seems willing, and able to articulate a Conservative phiolsophy.

They use everything to tear us down—good, bad, and indifferent. I’m not going to use that as a basis on whom to criticize when they goof up. So we’ve got the left tearing us down and know we’ve got Michael Steele, head of the RNC, tearing us down too! That’s just terrific.

Steele to El Rushbo:

“grovelgrovelgrovelgrovelgrovelgrovelgrovelgrovelgrovelgrovel”

Rush needs to work on his Darth Vader fingertip strangle technique.

How about repudiate Hugley’s racist remarks to you about the Republican party that everyone, including you, are blowing off?

What did the intellectual lightweight say?

This is BS.

He read FR and got religion. Credibility gone.

Rush is brilliant and fearless....it’s about time these GOP leaders start listening to him.

I agree. I was listening to him today and thanking God that at least we had one person to stand up to Obama. I just pray that nothing happens to him. He really is our leader right now; I'm sure he'd be only too happy to give that role to a "highly qualified politician," but none of them seem to want it or have the courage to take it.

Steele has a lot to learn, and he better quit listening to the guys who got the Republican Party where it is today. For starters, he should forget his establishment intelligentsia drivel, and get behind the people who give the Republican Party its backbone and votes. Get behind State’s Rights movements, and dump the anti gun garbage. Dump all the RINO garbage.

He’s sorry, that’s for sure.

Republican leadership has been pretty sorry for a long time.

Steele should do the right thing and resign. He cannot be trusted.

“I was maybe a little bit inarticulate..."

Traslation: "I was a total ass and didn't expect the backlash."

Right, make him understand he better promote conservative values. He will never get any votes by catering to the hip hop crowd. The message to RNC, no money for hip hop pandering.

So, Steele shouldn’t be taken at his word? And how about the apparent lack of retort to a prior interviewer that the GOP convention was like “Nazi Germany?”

This is the kind of man you want leading the GOP? This is the kind of man you think proffered no “bait” worth commenting on?

Get real. It figures you have a screen name named after a liberal group.

Political pragmatism is most certainly not welcome here on FR. Read through this thread (and pretty much any thread with the name “Michael Steele” in it) and you will see that. The inability of conservatives to stop savaging those they disagree with on any one issue will lead to another electoral defeat regardless of how inept Obama is proving to be.

I don’t agree with Steele on all issues, but I think he’s a good man. I didn’t agree with any candidate we had on all issues (maybe Fred Thompson) but they’re still mostly in line with my views. To so many people here, that’s not acceptable. They didn’t even need to tear down any Republican candidates - we did that for them. It must be amusing for all the radical leftists in this country to watch us eat our own over and over.

One of the worst I caught was something on the terms of “we don’t buy the ivory soap party”, that was right after Steele made his Rush comment.

...he's not the only one who takes the bait, and shoots us in the foot in the process.

Yeah, Cantor.
