I was eliminated from jury duty once because I labeled myself Italian-American. I guess my comments don’t count, either.

Re-reading the headline on this piece reminded me of something: has anyone been checking over the last few years to be sure that black politicians have never belonged to a blacks only club or attended a blacks only university?

Probably not. It’s ok if blacks are racists.

“Robert Byrd didn’t wait until 2004 to hang up his white hood though”

Am I understanding this right? You are actually attempting to equate whatever Dawson was a member in to the KKK??? Seriously?

Liberalism is truly a mental disorder..Here is proof.

I like Steele. But I don’t like the idea he might become some sort of GOP token in some people’s eyes. Or that the reasone the GOP might pick him simply because of his darker shade.

Democrats, the historically racist party, by making a man they consider “black” their nominee for president have finally surrendered and accepted the Reconstruction that Republicans always championed.

#59 Marc Malone:

“It doesn’t matter whom we pick. The MSM will slam whomever we do pick. We cannot lett them influence our choice.”

If you’ve got a capable guy with one less slam for them to work with, why wouldn’t you pick him? Michael Steele doesn’t represent a compromise on principles. When a key part of what the RNC Chair needs to do involves public relations, ignoring the press is a complete non-starter. Almost nobody ever heard of Dawson, or Duncan for that matter, before, which pretty much tells you all you need to know.

Watch out for the run on Oreo cookies and Chuck Shumer going through Mr. Steele’s trash.

This is absolutely ridiculous. This country is just full of pansies. First palin to get the women. and now some black guy….to try to get the black vote. political correctness at its ugliest.

If you had any idea how badly Steele was treated for his values and how he stuck to them, you would understand why many people consider him to be the most reliable conservative candidate for cleaning house.

Im sick of this ‘its cool to be black”, “its cool to be gay”. Whats wrong with being a white man. if this society was tolerant and indeed ‘race/gender etc blind’, we’d be picking the best qualified for the job, not just affirmitive auctioning them away

Too late: Michael Steele was just elected Chairman.

The discussion is over and done.
