Congratulations to Michael Steele on Becoming RNC Chair! Comeuppance is Sweet, but Successful Leadership and Politicking Are the Best Revenge

-- Richard E. Vatz

Weeks following the zenith of the outcry over the contemptible “Barack the Magic Negro” CD, first aired in 2007 on Rush Limbaugh’s show, which was sent by one of his opponents to the Republican National Committee and others, Michael Steele has won a toughly fought battle to be Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

This is not only good news for the Republican Party and conservatives throughout the United States, it is also good news for Maryland, the state of origin of the first African-American elected to statewide office in the "Free State.

Don't Look Now....

.....but the local whack jobs are already doing their part to try to bring down Michael Steele.

Well, I suppose you can never expect the fringe left to actually want to debate on the merits of issues, now can you? Especially with the criminal class of leadership they seem to want to foist upon the state and the country these days...
