This is what Steele and others should be saying:
"Limbaugh just a commentator among many, nothing more, nothing less. He is not an elected official or a party leader. He's just a private citizen who has a lot of opinions. Republicans agree with some of his opinions, and they disagree with others. He does not speak for the party in any capacity. For a sitting president to attack a private citizen in such a manner as Obama is doing is undignified and cheapens the office."
"Unlike the president, we feel have more important things to do than discuss some commentator. Therefore, we will not be answering any more questions regarding Rush Limbaugh."
And that's that. No more mention of Rush. It's stupid to make such a big deal of this.
Isn’t there some law that says three strikes YOU are OUT!!!
Steele made a big thing out of selling the Republican Party to the hip-hop generation. Instead he pandered as idiotically as any out-of-touch country-club, whitebread.
He made the rounds of black liberal media and repeated the tried-and-hopeless tactic of playing the non-threatening, watered-down milquetoast.
Instead of confronting the likes of Tavis Smiley and D.L. Hughley to their faces and unapologetically defended conservative principles and explained why they were just as good for blacks as any other Americans, he smiled, grovelled, and let them push him around.
