In fairness to my state Party, the Dems in Maryland had nothing to do with the minstrel depiction of Steele. That blog is run by an African-American from New York whose politics are of the "progressive" persuasion. I don't think he's even a Democrat.

Steele is well-liked in Maryland - seems to me like a really good guy whose politics are slightly misguided.

I'm really surprised by the Oreo thing -- would have thought that I would have heard about it. Maybe the Washington Times has breaking news. I think that all of this stuff is beyond the pale. sts. npi.

You are grasping at straws here S_A_M. The Dems in MD have been exposed (minstrel show or not, although I wouldn't doubt that NYer is a covert agent Demo) as racists. Stop trying to backpeddle and apologise and join the righteous in supporting an end to the plantation politics of the dimwits.

But, I must confess, I do see your point about Iran. The close alliance between Iran and Iraq from 1979 through to today all but gurantees Hussein spirited the arms to his brothhers in arms in the Iranian regime.

Right before Guld War I he flew all his jets to Iran.

Are you saying my solidarity with the jews and the moderate radical islamics over our shared boycott of the pork is misplaced?

The boycott of the pork is displaced. It's not like you're talking sweetbreads, here, man.

We're outsourcing our intelligence to other countries now? What if their motives are different than ours?

I trust their motives more than those of the career bureaucrats at State or the Valerie Plames at CIA. Israel's motivations are purely self-defence and preservation. America's looney left is so stupid that they want to give the enemies the keys to city hall so they can do us in from within.

Chill out, dude. If you're on one of the islands, the prevailing winds should blow the debris clouds eastward, and just think of the real estate investment opportunities that will open up for you!!

Why are you defending treason? Treason, rape, murder, racism, is there no wrong the left is willing to condemn?

What a bunch of racist fucks.

I don't normally read the Wash. Times, but . . .

No wonder I hadn't heard of the Oreo cookie thing, or the "Uncle Tom" remark. The cookie incident happened in 2002, during Steele's campaign for Lt. Governor, and the second happened in 2001 while he was chair of the Md. GOP.

This is acknowledged a few paragraphs further down in the article. Blending these incidents together in the lead of a piece about Steele's current run for the Senate is just another example of the "fair and balanced" reporting of the Washington Times.

ETA: Here is what the Democratic Party said about the minstrel depiction -- as reported near the end of the Times article: "A spokesman for the Maryland Democratic Party denounced the depiction as being 'extremely offensive' and having 'no place in politics or in any other aspect of public discourse,' The Washington Post reported. Democrats have denied any connection to the News Blog."

Were we signatories to the Geneva Convention then?

Geneva Convention doesn't cover stateless terrorists does it?

Generally you worry about that but not in the case of the Israelis. They're our friends, and we are theirs.

In self defence. Plus God told Bush it was okay.

It's not self-defense if they're in prison. Even super- secret double-supervision plausibly deniable until it got leaked prison. And God doesn't talk to Bush.

SAM, you will find, if you pay any attention to me at all, that I don't generally deal in labels, and in particular in party affiliations. I prefer to take each person on their own. I wasn't talking about the "Dems." I was specifically referring to the actors in the quoted peice.

Yes, being harassed, stalked and victimised on a regular basis has made me acutely aware of the parameters of such attacks.

It suits you just perfectly. We will just pretend that no one said something negative about your Avatar.
