Michael Steele Distances Himself From Town Hall Dissenters

GOP leader Michael Steele has done very little that has been good for his party--though Democrats love him!--but he's right on this one. I know that disenfranchised Republicans and conservatives are puffing their chests about all of the attention they are getting. But I just can't imagine that this ugly display is having the intended effect.

As a Democrat, when I see them they just look like idiots. But what about Republicans or independents? Some of them are digging it, surely. But all or even most of them? I kind of doubt it. For one thing, all of these rabble-rousers seem rather unfocused, and sometimes unintelligible. This would really work if they were intelligent, well-spoken, and made a little sense. But they're coming off as. . .well. . .more than a little bit crazy. Which from my side of the aisle, is actually a good thing!

  1. Mr. Steele is not blue, he is black. I think that is a racist picture, meant to keep the brother down! You most likely should take it down before you get a call from El Presidente's Race Czar. Someone might turn you in for "fishy" activity on the blog. You really should dig up some personal dirt on the guy rather that be racist. Maybe have him over for a beer?
