explain..., please-Locke

Enough already about Rush amd Steel. Mr Bojangles and his band of libs are stealing our Country and we're more concerned about stupid crap like this.

who would have thought that the so called "fad", as a fellow philosopher wrote, is exactly what this country needs most. the rise in African American political officials is just the wake up call to bring the population to the edge of their seats, and start voting smart instead of voting big. the increase of smart voters will,in no essence of this insulting, show a drastic decrease in democratic voters and a moderately increased number of republican voters. the decrease followed by the not-so drastic increase will bring about a balance in the power distribution of the two parties, rendering the dictatorship of either group non-existent- Locke

of the position-Locke

i agree with Lesley, the position has become a disastrous mess of a title. the way he parades around trying to get more voters by trying, and obviously failing,to get with the "in croud" may seem like a suitable and productive way to bust your standings, it is asinine and just being to needy. if i were a voter, i would steer clear of anyone trying that hard to get the popular vote. it generally means they are not doing very good and for good reason. but Lesley is absolutely right, he needs to get out

oh and the whole being 14, sorry that's a lie to, i must keep my true identity secret-Locke

the republicans are just as responsable as the demacrats in the sense that if they try to place blame it'll send them straight to hell, they have to be the "night in shining armor" and if they're not then they'll look bad so much that they'll have to restart their entire scam for control because then they can resume their plans for getting all the positions currently occupied by democrats. then and only then will there be a true republican dictatorship.-Locke

i'm 14 what do you expect?-locke

hey its not my fault i can't spell, i'm 14-locke

Mr. Steele, "Bro" U and WHITE RNC voter McCain! Pres "O" is the Chief, then RNC "We need a Bro". 60 days in, "THE RNC, U OUT AND RUSH IS IN" Pres "O" is home the next 8 yr's!

Why are our politicians so short-sighted to focus solely on the best path to getting themselves reelected vs. what might actually get us out of this mess we are currently in? Calling for Steele to resign because Rush has threatened to pull back fundraising?! This is not a game, nor is it a playground. I, for one, would love to see politicians check their party differences at the door and finally work together to come up with a good plan. Like it or not, in this situation, we may need the government to step in to stop the dominos from falling. Resisting working with peers across the aisle or worse, hoping that the administration "fails" for whatever reason, is ludicrous, because in the end, who really gets hurt if the administration fails? Only the Democrats?!

the only thing that would make all this nonsense more entertaining is for a republican leader to send out a cd with a song entitled "steele the magic negro" or for someone to draw a cartoon with rush in the back of a limo with steele as the driver. please someone draw that cartoon....please!

She makes a good point about steele trying to be cool by using street slang.

Hes an extremely well educated,experienced politician.

He should start acting like it! and not using terms like "off the hook" and "my bad"

I love it, they have no use for this token anymore I guess they realized that he is not the answer for minorities, I hope they replace him with Rush! LOL

LOL! Mr. Steele looks just like Dick Nixon in that picture...

Hey Steele, Fisher is to you what you are to all African Americans.

Didn't we see this happen in 2004 when everyone was upset with Howard Dean?

She will be ostracized by the GOP for this. They hate the truth.

...get him out of there!!! I'm sure he can get a job cleaning Rush's toilets or something. Let's get someone (of any race) willing to really stand up to the right-wing crazies that are destroying the GOP!

My my, the Republican Party, what hath become of you? Black on black political aggression?!? Anyone can join the Republican party these days as long as they can back peddle, are good at infighting, and can totally blame everyone else. "Republican: equal opportunity Hayterz 24/7"
Thank you Rush, keep it comin' -pop it like it's hot.

It seems to me that the Republican party spends a lot of time explaining that they "don't want the country to fail, they just want the President's policies to fail". I believe our President has taken the "hard" approach to getting things "done" because that IS the only way that you can move mountains in Congress. The old approach of "do just enough so it looks good but not enough to hurt politically" is just what brought us here. At one time we had financial institutions regulated to kept them from having "casino nights" on wall street. Lets be clear though, no matter how many time the Republicans would like to say it ain't so to make it seem true, Republicans were in charge and turning a blind eye to the lack of oversight that was taking place. Not that the Democrats didn't have some issues of their own to be fair but the Republicans clearly had a strangle hold on the country for the last 8 years. By the way, lets remember that Obama has been in office LESS than 1% percent of the time Bush & the Republicans took to create this BLACK HOLE they led us too! These new policies aren't popular with Republicans becaue it is a completely different way of doing bussiness in Washington. Money likes money and we're spreading enough around that I believe it will have the desired results. That being said, what will the Republican party do when the money starts to come back and the DOW starts to rise, people start spending again? I betcha they're going to say that we need more tax breaks. It is sad to see that the person that the GOP/CPAC seems to want to let lead the party is a guy that if he had to be as politically correct as the politicians do, he couldn't do what it is that he does. He preaches Ideology for the Republicans when after 8 years they got nothing from the 8 Bush years except a black eye!

Yes, let's all talk about Rush Limbaugh instead of the collapsing American economy. "Don't look now, young man, but that is the hand of big government in your back pocket."

I love it watching this GOP bickering. What a mess they have to clean up. What a mess they left the rest of us to clean up. They appear split right down the middle, neo cons on one side and REAL conservatives on the other.

I have a suggestion for the real conservatives, but it requires taking a risk. Abandon Rush and the neo cons and watch what happens. I know, I for one, will come home, but not until the extreme right is forced to start their own party instead of hijacking the once proud GOP they have made a mockery of.

In the mean time, thanks for the comedic relief

I was wondering when this was coming. Mr. Steele..The GRAND OLD PHART Party does not want to change the status quo. ....obviously across the board. The GOP is showing their true hue....WHITES ONLY!

Steele was not prepared to be RNC chair. He was only a front man to be used to attract blacks. Can someone please tell the GOP that blacks don't like Obama just because he's black. He's liked because he has values and Steele doesn't possess those qualities or has any appeal. I thought Steele's comment about "attracting Hip-Hop" Republicans was a ridiculous joke. How can you take him serious when he tries to use sterotypes to relate to people on what he thinks is their level. Everytime I watch him I am simply amazed that he was the best person for the job. If I knew politics was this funny, I would have started paying attention to it a long time ago.

Resign Steele, you walked right into their trap!

I feel bad for Michael Steele because the only reason the Republicans elected him as head of the RNC is because he is African-American. They were sadly mistaken if they believe that all African-Americans will simply support someone because they are also black. Most of us DO actually look at the issues. So, this shows us what the Party of Limbaugh is all about.

Last to be hired and the first to be fired... they should have hired Rush in the first place this looks bad... Incompentence on their behalf... isn't that how they left this country.... never again.

To Put an End to the Republican Dictatorship Over the US: I would think that since the Democrats own the house, senate and presidency I would think I would stop seeing dumb names like this. Everything bad that happens is in the Democrats hands now, no blaming the other side, pressures on!

Hey Locke....maniacal (think maniac...al)

I don't agree with some of the bloggers here. Limbaugh hasn't changed over the years and is just doing his thing. He believes he is the voice of reason for the conservative vote, and he is making millions on the radio. But Steele is trying to Obamanize the Republican party and it just can't be done. I think he's doing himself and the party a great injustice. If he can't be a serious chairman and stop rapping or whatever, then he should step aside. The fact that he can't see that what he's doing isn't working is proof that he is tone deaf. His attemps to be hip are silly, making references to completely outdated material. He is reducing the position of chairman of the RNC to a joke when they really need a positive leader right now.

He only got the job because he is black. Black is the new "fad'.

on another note: that picture looks so stupid.

Republicans will never get many Black voters, they have been brain washed for years, even though Republicans freed them, not the Democrats. Democrats want Black people to be slaves to the government, not to excell on their own. Only when people can control their own destiny– are they truly free.

The infighting with the republicans makes me smile. The party has gone too far to the right for the American people. They need to dump the ideological aspect of their party, move more to the center and work with the democrates to moderate things instead of filibustering everything. Oh, and they need to have policies that help the average american instead of making the rich, richer. If Obama is successful with the economy, republicans will be out of power for a generation.

aw man

its all good, tell the uncle tom's to take it easy, greasy

you are too cool to let them drag you through this

you need to get all ghetto on them

Okay...I am NOT a fan of the RNC, but this problem started EIGHT YEARS AGO....long before they picked the token...I mean...er...the new leader.

Everyone shield your eyes, because I gotta play the 'card'.....geez...talk about using the Black guy as a scapegoat.

Definitely, I highly respect that Michael Steele is leader and chairman of RNC. We, however, need simultaneously Limbaugh, Coulter, and Hannity who are available to expose as well as to pinpoint right way what are President Obama/Pelosi and Harry Reid going to lead American WITH A WRONG WAYS. Rush and Coulter are always ready to attack what Obama becomes spendthrift 3,600,000,000,000.00 which are from printing of bills and taxes paid by citizens will be biggest and historical mistaken by Obama /Pelosi/Harry. Even though Obama and Democratic party will spend a huge money, stock markets plunged, dropped and downed over and over again below lowest 6,594 points since 1997. Main stream medias, CNN should stop handling of Rush like voracious guy. RUSH IS SO RIGHT "GET BACK AMERICA" in 2012.

If Fisher's wants Steele out, why ask him to resign?

She should just go to the top and ask Rush Limbaugh to fire him.

And they accuse the Dems of eating their own... The Republican/Conservative party is in more trouble than I thought. Either way this goes, if Steele stays or is forced to resign, it's not going to bold well for the GOP. If he stays, they run the risk of alienating Rush's followers, but if he goes, they will permanently alienate the majority of voters, particularly the youth, independents and minority constituents. It's a lose- lose situation and they are already behind.

As a Dem. I hope that the Reps. stick around. We need them, because they complete the circle.

says what so now they want to fire him? weren't they who put him in that position the first place? These people need to make up their minds.

I guess kissing butt doesn't further your political career after all.

so the republicans when and got a BLACK MAN and think that they can get obama voters.....Now it backfires on them and they want to get rid of him.....REPUBLICANS PLEASE ONLY MAKE MOVE WHEN YOUR HEARTS IS IN IT INSTEAD OF FINDING SOMEONE TO COUNTER ACT OBAMA FIND SOMEONE WHO COMPLIMATES OBAMA...

the crisis at hand does not call for brains or bronze, it calls not even for brutality, it calls for the brigadier to show themselves for what they truely are, a meniackel perverted self loving backstabbing bastard. and if you think there isnt somene in charge of everything then you to are mistaken, they have always been there and always will. the head a hydra only double when you try to behead it.-Locke

She will be apologizing to Rush in 3...2....1

I think Mr. steele is a joke. hahaha!!!!!!!

Rush Limb- Push Limb-Stupid Limb.

anyone that afraid of the big talking head limbaugh should resign, what a fool!

wow a republican with balls

I thought Bachman said Steele was "da man !!

yes it is a very cruel world out there but even in our own backyard there is conflict. the kind of mindless behavior that promotes warfare and immorality, even if not on the feild of battle. the economy is crumling and our citezens are suffering for our "esteem"leader's mistakes.-Locke

Looks like Rush is the GOP leader: all bow before The Great One – who now decides who is hired and fired ....

Inept? What? He's off the hook!!

Now exactly who is leading the GOP: Looks like, sounds like Rush to me!

I think Steele needs to stop sucking up to BIG FAT RUSH AND SAY WHAT HE REALLY MEAN AND NOT TAKE IT BACK AFTER HE HAS SAID IT. THATS SAD

Never seen this ineptness in GOP leadership? Where has this woman been for the last 8 years, under a rock?

She is right. The only thin he is doing is making himself look stupid. Anyone with an open mind can see that the RNC is using him. Does anyone believe that the RNC will atract minorities just because he is the chairman. The RNC credibility has been damaged for the next several years. The RNC and followers need to believe and show they care about all americans not just the chosen few. Its not just me and my but "we the people". President Obama and the DNC project that they care about all people.

I suspected that the GOP was dazed and confused, now I have no doubt. When Michelle Bachmann becomes the voice of reason in the Republican Party and the only response that voice has made is Socialism, without putting forth any viable alternative, the Republican Party is truly bankrupt of ideas.

yeah, she supported a guy who quit a segregated country club only to run for GOP National Chairman. She sounds like someone who is uncomfortable in her own skin. I agree that Steele's delving into "Hip Hop" was silly, but only because he came across as being completely un-hip and oblivious to the culture he was trying to appeal to....and as far as going on dL Hugly, that was the smartest and most sane Steele has sounded in a few months at least.

Mike is a Clown!

I posted this morning that I bet the GOP were regretting having this man as leader.It looks good on them though.

Dog eat Dog syndrome at the Gop,lol

Hummm! What does she know that we don't?

I'm Rush Limbaugh, and I approve this message.

It really doesn't matter who the leader of the RNC is. The RNC is already a train wreck and the carnage will take a long time to correct. If it can happen. It just truly doesn't matter about you anymore. Just get over yourselves already.

She hit the nizzle on the hizzle.

HA...too bad for the GOP that she's 100% correct.

Hey, where is Michael Steele, Rush needs another butt kissing session!!!! Michael Steele, I had high hopes for you till you took one in the shorts from old crazy Rush Limpbo!!!

Please leave the man alone. He is has made no fatal mistakes. She needs to tell Rosh to go away, because the GOP should be concerned with rebuilding their support amongst moderates in the GOP and the those independents that use to be called Reagan Democrats. Back off

Since Rush knows what's best for Republicans, Steele should step down and let Rush become the Chairman of the Republican Pary. In 2012 Rush should run for President since he loves America so much and knows what's best for us.

RUSH, DON'T TALK ABOUT, BE ABOUT IT!!!!

Maybe the real leader, rush limbaugh, will replace him. LOL

FINALLY !!!!!! someone who has the guts to be honest and tell it like it is. When Steele cow-towed and bowed to rush limbaugh he set black people back 100 years. I don't know of any black people who are willing to support him, in his subservient ways, and vote republican. He is a spineless, jellyfish who is not a leader but a follower.

You know from reading the story and watching it unfold on the tv and internet, I can say that I am not a right winger or a left winger. Steele came in at a time when both parties had did nothing to earn the respect of the people. If Fisher doesn't like what Steele is doing to reach out to the african american people then sit back and shut up. It isn't just about votes. I am not going to just vote republican because you want me to. Give me a reason to vote red next time. Steele is trying to not only win the support of blacks, but win the votes of our future young african americans. If it means using the language and the slang, then go for it. I saw the same thing happen this past election when the democratic party almost fell apart with all the inner party fighting. And these are the examples that we have to follow that both parties are giving. I say if we cant agree on anything lets come together and disagree on everything.

What a circus...full of clowns and tricks...now all we need is some cotton candy!!! lol

this picture alone makes Steele look like an imbecile. At last somebody from the GOP that speaks the truth. Maybe Ms. Fisher should head the RNC.

Well I BE GOT DARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some one is speaking up about thier party and letting people know that it is a "fiasco with Rush Limbaugh is a Republican Horror Show." Well I guess now they will stop listen to him and poor old STEELE he was just another token for them and he did not see it poor baby.

LOL....somebody final calling the RNC out for the idiots and fakes they are for even electing him. I'm so sick of the GOP and RNC doing this tit for tat crap!!!
They elected Steele because the Democrats have Obama!!!
When Obama gave his speech to Congress who did they get to give the rebuttle? Another minority!!! FAKES!!!! They are all for SHOW!!!

LOL He was just the fill in-sucker anyways. LOL. Abuse and Use should be the theme of the RNC party.

WE DOUBLE DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA. The human Hindenburg stearing the GOP Titanic. We need the comedy relief during the next election round. Dems Rule Repugs Drule!

he's such a scapegoat!

Oh no! Someone from the RNC recognizes how ridiculous Steele is making them look. I hope he puts up a fuss or it will be like my favorite TV show being canceled.

Needlesstosay, a black Republican had to dis on Mr. Steele so as to soften the possible rebuke by Republicans in general of racism! Limbaugh should have never gotten into the problem with Mr. Steele in the King-of-the-Hill battle because Mr. Steele looks so vanquished! So his desired resignation signals the possible replacement possibilities, and the attempt to make Republicans look Obama-esque is over. What an utter failure! Any replacement of Steele will appear weak due to Limbaugh's onslaught so the Republican Party appears to be permanently weakened as a result! And now the call comes forth that Limbaugh is doing this to his party for selfish monetary reasons, further inciting condemnation from republicans in general. Isn't it all about money, anyway?

More cannon fodder for the liberal media.
Will it ever stop? If the Republicans don't provide it, the media will make it up as they go.

I have to agree!

Finally, someone speaks the truth

That's right! Let him go and HIRE RUSH LIMBAUGH!!!

WE DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG...I am still cracking up. The repubs are going down, down, down. Come on board and join the liberals, the smarter and wiser choice from what I see so far....

OMG...I am still cracking up. The repubs are going down, down, down. Come on board and join the liberals, the smarter and wiser choice from what I see so far....

Totally agree with her on the language trying to be cool! Michele Bachmann's comment recently..... "Michael Steele! You be da man! You be da man" was absolutely foolish! Why would he even want people to speak of him that way!

"Limbaugh has already promised that 'His Conservatives' won't be giving to the RNC..."
Further proof that the Rushpublicans are falling all over themselves to bow before their bloated Buddha!

Wow what a dysfunctional party. Here is a suggestion...Michelle Bachman should head the RNC. (Ha, Ha)

I said it earlier that it was just a matter of time before Michael Steele hands in his resignation. Let me give you some straight talk. Rush limbaugh is having a difficult time accepting the fact that he's being ruled by a black man and that's the primary reason for his acid reactions to Michael Steele. Rush Limbaugh is a racial man and I think all of America knows this by now. it will be impossible for Michael Steele to continue in the capacity of chairman because of the opposition that Rush Limbaugh will put forth. The RNC remains the Racial National Congress.

Agree! Mr. Steele needs to step down NOW before he perpetuates anymore stereotypes! Wrong man to try and draw people of color into the Republican party.......

What is up with his suit in that picture? It looks totally bizarre.

Totally agree with her on the language trying to be cool! Michele Bachmann's comment recently..... "Michael Steele! You be da man! You be da man" was absolutely foolish! Why would he even want people to speak of him that way!

No, No! Please keep him. He's great.

More black on black crime.

I am a Democrat and African American, I totally agree with Fisher's comments.

Steele will soon be stepping down for "family" reasons.

Wow FINALLY a GOP voice that makes sense.......maybe Ms. Fisher should be the head of the RNC,,,that is if it's ok with Rush.

UH OH Mr Steele is in Big Trouble see What you get For Messing with the Almighty Great leader Rush Mcsteele Isnt DA MAN Afterall and yes he is Insulting The African Americans Mess with The Leader and this is what happens REPUBLICANS ARE A COMPLETE MESS HAHAHAHAHAHAH LOLOLOLOLOLOL HHAHAHAHA I LOVE IT! They are getting what they deserve!

I knew this would happen. Look at how bad they are treating the Blackman. And you want us to vote for you? They got this Uncle Tom women in NC where they still think they are slaves to call the man down. The GOP is a boil and needs to be lanced. I hope there are those ready to form a 3rd party. Just Ghetto!

Ron Paul is the leader of the Republican Party, everybody knows it except the neo-cons.

Good for her. She is completely right.

game over!

"Republican Horror Show"? I think I saw–no, lived–that movie, and I think it was about eight years long. No reruns, please. Keep Steele right where he is, because with him the GOP is going nowhere fast, and that's good for the rest of us.

For all those who said President Bush failed, well, didn't America then failed? And if America has already failed, how then can President Obama succeed?

For all those who said President Bush failed, well, didn't America then failed? An if America has already failed, how then can President Obama succeed?

Your no Obama. He leads and you follow. Lets see how much fight you have in you now. Master Rush wants Steele out so that means Steele goes. Time to stop being the " House Negro". Steele is only fooling himself running around with Rush and his crew. Time to wake up and see the light.

"Limbaugh has already promised that 'His Conservatives' won't be giving to the RNC," she wrote. "I would suggest to you that that is a real bet. If we can't raise money and continue to allow the alienation of the few verifiable red states remaining, we are foolish."

You don't want to upset Rush now do you. The GOP has become a joke.

We Dems realized this would not last long. First David Duke is teed off, now Lush.

Steele will soon resign citing "family obligations" as the reason!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....I can't breathe.
