Uh oh, you naughty man, Roland Martin, playing the devilish Steele Game again. In today’s edition of “How did Michael Steele take the bait this time,” the communist CNN contributor Roland Martin, in his side gig for a black people thing called NewsOne, interviewed the triumphant cow and dared put forth this snare: “One of the criticisms I’ve always had is Republicans — white Republicans — have been scared of black folks.” Yeah, ever come across anything like that, Michael Steele?
STEELE: You’re absolutely right. I mean I’ve been in the room and they’ve been scared of me. I’m like, “I’m on your side” and so I can imagine going out there and talking to someone like you, you know, [say] “I’ll listen.” And they’re like “Well.” Let me tell you. You saw in Christie and you saw in McDonnell a door open because they went in and engaged.
Just a reminder that the year is 2009, and white people talking to black people is still a controversial issue in the Republican party.
Steele: White Republicans are scared of me [The Hill]
Well, I don’t think it has anything to do with the fact that he’s black. It’s just that he’s a tiny elf coming out of the computer making threatening gang signs with his hands. Who wouldn’t be frightened by that?
To be honest, being embarrassed about having Michael Steele as the head of your party is pretty sensible.
“He also said that he would attract minority voters with fried chicken and potato salad.”
Why do White Republicans (indeed, ‘Republicans’) hate fried chicken and potato salad?
I’m like, “I’m on your side” and so I can imagine going out there and talking to someone like you, you know, [say] “I’ll listen.” And they’re like “Well.”
Like, is it me like, or you know, is he, that black dude, using like “Valley Girl” speak? Ya know?
chascates: Is potato salad a black thing now? Cos I’m pretty sure it started out as a German thing, just like Racism.
Ever since Newell’s “incoherent” post last week, my first thought whenever I see Michael Steele’s name is “moo moo, motherfuckers.” And then I giggle like a little girl.
Every goddamn time I see his name.
Maybe they would be more comfortable talking to black people if they had white hoods on.
Wait, Michael Steele is black?
Tomorrow’s RNC press release headline:
“Michael Steele calls out Michael Steele for playing the race card, using divisive tactics”
The saddest thing in the whole world is that Michael Steele isn’t even the most embarrassing Republican. They totally should’ve gotten that plantation-owner/whites-only-country-club-attending guy from South Carolina or whatever to run the party.
Or maybe the fact that they could’ve put an actual slave owner as the head of the Republican party and it would’ve been less embarrassing–maybe that’s the saddest fact in the world.
So every one is afraid of him except his driver, Clarence Thomas, and Ron Christie?
p.s. how come we never mention what a Herculean douechbag Ron Christie is?
AbstinenceOnly Ed: Fried [chicken] = oven = death camps?
You saw in Christie and you saw in McDonnell a door open because they went in and engaged.
Oh, right — that would explain why 12% of blacks planned to vote for Christie (p.34)

Then again, maybe that’s better than they were expecting.
Dammit — page 23 of 34.
StoneAge: I remember saying the same thing about Mariah Carey once.
Just…..someone please tell me what in the love of puppies and kittens he’s doing in that gif?
It looks as if he’s saying “go bitch yourself!” which doesn’t make much sense, but I sort of love it. AND it makes weird sense when paired with his strangely floppy hands.
But the shaking of the body is also slightly hostile. It’s like he’s got to shake it to make his hands go up. Or like he’s about to dance? Or something?
Wait, after being hypnotized a while longer, it also looks like he’s saying “please play golf.”
WHAT KIND OF HIDDEN MESSAGES ARE THEY SENDING?
scared of moo moo mutha fuckin Steele? what a bunch a pussies. What happened to the party of John “Any pussie can quit smoking, it takes a real man to face lung cancer” Wayne?
Today, we’re all white Republi’cans
I wonder how many times Steele has been at a Republican party/event, was confused for “the help” and had to explain that he wasn’t checking coats…
It’s that mean-street “In Da Hood” style he’s carried around with him since 1990, which is when he saw New Jack City for the first time.
That GIF just makes we want to say, “Help me, Michael Steele. You are my only hope.”
Suds McKenzie:
Because it would be like pointing out “Big Ben” as a giant clock.
How many times has Steele been at a Republican event and had someone say, “I don’t want any trouble, just take the briefcase and go. Here’s my wallet too” and shortly afterwords Randolph and Mortimer make a $1 bet that he could do better running the RNC while Ed Gillespie has to survive on the streets living with a hooker.
TheCoolestGuyInTown: Or given keys to go fetch their cars
SPOILER ALERT: Guys, Michael Steele’s life is just Season 8 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry puts on blackface & a creepy moustache to see if he can rise to the top of the Republican party. Suffice it so say it’ll be funnier once you get all the dialogue. Also, congrats to Jeff Garlin for pulling off the NJ governor race disguised as tubby Reshlublican “Chris Christie.” First Lady Susie Essman will bring some much needed pizzazz back to the Garden State, you FAT SHIT.
I don’t find Michael Steel very spooky at all.
He must’ve caught a mutated version from Jesse “I have reached a stage in my life that if I am walking down a dark street late at night and I see that the person behind me is white, I subconsciously feel relieved” Jackson.
I saw Steele in the train station this morning. He scared me, but that may have been because there was a crazy homeless man next to him shrieking “SOMEBODY STOLE MY GAADAMN BUFFALO!” Steele doesn’t want him to have adequate mental healthcare, so I figured they were in cahoots.
Q. Why is Michael Steele like a white Republicans?
A. They both enjoy walking around in “the hood”.
Junior: Yes! Finally someone answered the question my brain had been asking for weeks. Thank you, friend.
Citizen_Sane: That was Edd Gillespie. And he wants his buffalo back NOW.
Michael Steele is just a tragic reminder that every seven minutes in this country, black person is born without soul.
Citizen_Sane: Perhaps he meant “cow”?
Technically, I’m a “White Republican,” but I’m not “afraid of black folks.”
That said, I would take either my Remington 870 12 gauge, or my M16, to Michael Steel’s black ass in a New York minute.
But that has nothing to do with COLOR — other than that he might be harder to hit at night or during a full solar eclipse or whatever.
AbstinenceOnly Ed: What about Leon? Whose going to tell Larry/Michael Steele to “get into that ass.”
Aflac Shrugged: Don “No Soul” Simmons just plain out fucking rules
“Just a reminder that the year is 2009, and white people talking to black people is still a controversial issue in the Republican party.”
Ok let’s see, big events in 1909:
Lincoln Head penny, with the words In God We Trust, replaced Indian Head Penny, which did NOT have words In God We Trust.
Mary Pickford was HUGE at the box office and the kids were gettin’ DOWN to the tune “Shine on Harvest Moon”
Both the Klan and the NAACP were founded.
Ladies and Gents it’s official…the Republican Party is 100 years behind the rest of the ENTIRE WORLD.
populucious: KKK was founded in 1865 according to Wikipedia. Were you referring to another Klan? A singing group, perhaps?
To quote the ever-lovely Rachel Maddow “What did we talk about before there was Michael Steele?”
He’s the gift that truly keeps on giving.
Accordion-o-rama: It was founded and re-founded in a number of waves/spurts. Remember back when they were sort of the armed wing of the Democratic Party? Al Smith does.
Neilist: Gawd, I am so tired of hearing about all the ways you want “hit” Mike Steele’s black ass.
Neilist: BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN tali BAN
Hooray For Anything: Oddly enough, Leon is actually masquerading in whiteface as feisty congresspimp Alan Greyson (D-That Ass).
Accordion-o-rama: Uh-oh…when Wikipedia entries collide!
Neilist: According to a Republican moron poster here, finding the members of the GOP to be morons makes you an anti-semite. At least that was the ration of bullshit they gave me before moving on to idle threats.
Now if only I could remember that morons nick. It started with “neil” something.
What is this fool saying? His stupidity makes me angry.
Shorter Neilist:
Technically, I’m not a sexually frustrated closet case, since I only masturbate
once a week to the frilly things in my grandmother’s top drawer.
Neilist: You should tell us WHY you would shoot Micheal Steele. And why such a vast difference in the type of weapon? I think you’re indecisive.
Neilist: Again Mr. Tiny Penis loves to talk about his guns…
Oh my god, we’ve gotta have a black guy to replace Marshall! Hey you! Thomas! Get over here!
Oh my god, they elected a black guy President. Hey you! Steele! Get over here!
Just…….sayin’
I wonder how many times Michael Steel has been at a Republican event and when he went to the toilet every GOPer in there offered him the Bob Allen Special.
Holding Out for a Hero: For starters, I talked about how wonderful it would be to get Ms Maddow to pinch-hit for the breeders. With me throwing the heat.
Hunger Tallest Palin: Another Republican cocksucker. Tell me something new.
To be fair, the Russians weren’t too crazy about their “Chairman Steel” either.
Jack Benny: Why do they call you Rochester?
Rochester: Cuz I’m from Syracuse!
Yup, Steele is WORSE than that.
Buffoonish Black porter on The Three Stooges: HELP, HELP I’m loosin’ my mind.
Steele’s worse than that guy too.
Howl - by John Boehner
I saw Republicans of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the Steele streets at dawn
looking for a new RNC chairman.
Neilist: Jim, surely, if you can muster the anger to call someone out for harrassing a bigot from Detroit, you can find the anger to ban someone for constantly joking about murdering someone. Really, I’m begging you.
Michael Steele has to learn to “bling” the Whites in the GOP into working with him.
AbstinenceOnly Ed: Well, 100-150 years ago, German immigrants were as much hated as Mexicans are now. Hence massive rioting in Cincinnati, 1880, or the persecution of Germans, 1917. Republicans are old-fashioned, so their prejudices are not up-to-date, either.
Ohhhh, exsqueezem moi, the real issue for the RNC I am told by Chief Inspector Clouseau is, does your mankey have a licunze??
Oldskool: He’s dithering.
