The one things most conservatives have little use for is the the “race card” it a weak defense of a desperate accuser. The race care which is the favorite weapon of the left is now being played by RNC chairman Michael Steele. That’s really pathetic…
Michael Steele calls his critics racist
RNC chair Michael Steele defended his spending practices Monday morning, saying he has no plan to resign, and at one point suggesting that criticism of his tenure may be rooted in racism.
No Michael it’s rooted in ability not racism. Under Michael Steele’s leadership the RNC back Dede Scozzafava, John McCain and others that are questionable choices, here in my own state they’ve backed former democrat and lifer politician Trey Grayson – in fact the RNC has been on the wrong side of the rank and file conservatives Republicans choices many times. Under Steele the GOP’s coffers have shrunk dramatically. However Steele rejects this notion and plays the old and tired Obama “inherited” card on top of race card.
Steele rejected the notion that the RNC has spent more money than taken in. “No, I had more money left over at the end of the— I had a budget, I inherited a budget that had zero dollars left at the end of 2009.”
FEC filings show that Steele began his tenure in January 2009 with $22.8 million, and has since raised $96.2 million. During the same period, however, the RNC has spent $109.6 million, for a deficit of $13.4 million. A March 20 FEC filing shows the RNC has $9.5 million cash on hand.
It’s a rare, rare day I agree with Robert Gibbs but the White House spokesman said in Steele’s race claim the other day. “That is a fairly silly comment to make. I think Michael Steele’s problem isn’t the race card, it’s the credit card.” Well said Gibbs – it’s the first thing you’ve said I’ve ever agreed with.
What Steele and so many others fail to realize is that stupidity doesn’t have a skin color. Playing the race card is racist itself, it tells me you see things through the prism of skin color. As Erick Erickson over at Red State said in his post “Go With the Army You Have”…
I did not support Michael Steele for Chairman of the Republican Party, but was perfectly happy to give him a chance to prove himself. That all pretty much went out the window the moment he decided to start throwing the race card around against Republicans when feeling threatened.
Yep, as soon as a minority or anyone for the matter plays the race card, I have little use for them and write them off weak and pathetic.
If Steele can’t do any better than that to defend his actions then he needs to go and it’s not because he is black, it’s because he is stupid.

I have been wondering why he hasn’t done more to help the Tea Party movement since they came under fire being called racists. Now I think I know why.
Of course if the Republicans oust him he will be working for Obama or some other Liberal smear machine by Monday calling the Republicans Racists.
Like that need him to do that? They’re doing that already.
