You are right about that. If I were to call you those names, that would not make me a racist either, but I'll refrain from that anyway. However claiming that Steele was an "affirmative action" pick implies that he got his job just because of his race rather than his competence. That's a racist insult, and is contrary to the facts.
I am sick of racists masquerading themselves as conservatives, and I won't hold back from applying that tag when it fits.
And that is exactly what happened.
Steele is incompetent. Therefor, he did not get the job based on competence.
There is nothing wrong with speculating as to other reasons for why he was suddenly given the position.
“However claiming that Steele was an “affirmative action” pick implies that he got his job just because of his race rather than his competence. That’s a racist insult, and is contrary to the facts.”
It is my belief that the RINO wusses at the RNC wanted a black leader of the RNC so they could have him criticize Obama without being called a racist. They fear being called racists almost as much as they fear conservatives. That just might be related to affirmative action. Affirmative action is racist, so the RNC is racist.
