on D.L. Hugley's show.
Comments:
Discouraging, yet not surprising. This is the tact that the left will use in the coming weeks. Every time a Republican politician or strategist goes on the air, the anchor will ask them to denounce Rush’s comments at CPAC. And the unfortunate part is that every one of them will. SPINELESS!!!!

What, that America is a great place full of opportunity and hope.
Why is praising the USA ugly.
I am very disappointed, I liked MS. Now it appears he is just like the rest of the Republican cowards.

I can't believe the apologists for Steele on this thread.
WHAT HE SAID WAS INEXCUSABLE!
In his high position, he should be trained enough to control his words.....especially when he trashes someone ON OUR OWN SIDE!
Steele has revealed himself.....and the only thing we can do now is vote with our wallets when it comes to donations to the RNC.
He'll probably give the usual portion of OUR money to Snowe, Collins, Spectre and McCain, anyhow.
I'm livid! Was the man drunk?

As Rush has said, we won’t EVER win by trying to out-Liberal the Liberals. In any sane universe, we shouldn’t even be TRYING.
So Dear Mr. Steele, go perform an unnatural act upon yourself. YOU’RE the one who’s not in touch. Not only that, you’re acting against the interests of our party, because if we end up with another pathetic RINO candidate like John McCain we will NEVER, EVER win — and isn’t that YOUR JOB? To actually see that we WIN Something?

The Republican party seems to be infected with the same racial guilt that the Bolsheviks on the other side of the aisle have. We keep elevating members of minority groups and calling them consevatives without really properly vetting them. Thomas Sowell is a conservative. Clarence Thomas is a conservative. Walter Williams is a consevative. Deroy Murdock is a conservative. Shelby Steele is a conservative.
Colin Powell is not. Condoleeza Rice is not. And this clown, Michael Steele, is definitely, not.
Until we purge ourselves of our racial guilt we are going to continue to attribute to these RINOs conservative values which they DO NOT HAVE. No more “affirmative action” conservatives. They are all RINOs.
PS I think we’re in danger of doing the same thing with Governor Palin as a result of gender guilt. I mostly like what I’ve heard from Governor Palin but not all (Wall St. greed, etc.) I don’t know how much of what she said during the campaign was McCain-speak and how much of it was the Governor. She needs to be vetted just like this clown, Steele, should have been.
PSS By the way Mr.Steele you condescendingly put down Rush as simply “an entertainer”. What the hell do you think DL Hughley is?

It is past time for all conservatives to leave the Republican party behind, and, as difficult as it may be for some, reach some consensus to support a third party that supports the Constitution of the United States and the Republic unequivically. Any so called Republican that has not historically embraced the doctrine of conservatism in words or deeds needs to stay with the carcass of the old elephant. This nation can no longer endure the bickering and blind loyalty to persons rather than doctrine that has brought us to this Marxist president.

Dump Steele! What is he thinking? Spineless RINO!
I apologize for ever voicing my approval of this coward.
He can take his "Hip-Hop GOP"... we go with Rush!
----
Steele can kiss my butt...I hadn't formed an opinion about him until now.
He's another RINO loser POS!

Rush disagrees with Newt. Steele picks a fight with Rush. Do we have a cohesive political party here? No. But we knew that.
Steele clearly doesn’t identify with conservative values, as least in public. Newt’s time has come and gone but his essential philosophy is still good. I support Rush’s viewpoints fully, but he will never be a candidate for anything nor should he be.
Steele doesn’t seem to fit with true Conservatives. He and McCain can keep the GOP. We need a Conservative Party that believes in both Rush’s evangelism and Newt’s policy fundamentals.
Can either Romney or Palin fill this role? At this moment I have my doubts.
We need new Conservative blood. Where could it possibly come from?
