Michael Steele tip toes around calling out Rush Limbaugh

On MSNBC’s Hardball today show host Chris Matthews along with former RNC Chairman Michael Steele and liberal journalist David Corn debated the impact of conservative media on the election.

“Michael, I want you to listen to this,” Matthews said to Steele. “Suppose that — well, you are African American — Um, here we go…”

“Yeah,” Steele responded while laughing.

Matthews continued, “Here we go. Would you like the first president who comes from that background to be called a racist by Glenn Beck? A racist. Because of what? No reason. If you’re a woman and an executive in a corporate world. If you’re a woman, would you like to be called a Feminazi by Rush Limbaugh, an even bigger name? … Your party gets blamed for this racket.”

Steele agreed that conservative media had a negative impact on the election as well as the Republican Party. But he was careful to avoid naming any names. The last time that happened, he ended up offering an embarrassing public apology to Rush Limbaugh.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

    Rush Limbaugh & Glenn Beck are both racist white supremacists who are the leading voices for the racist republican party. It is absolutely hilarious to watch you bigots try to find other reasons why you can only get the votes of old white men. Ask 100 minority voters why they don’t vote republican. At least 90% will tell you it is because of the blatant racism that pervades the GOP.

    Keep alienating the minorities. We will win Texas next. Biden 2016. BTW, God is dead too. All you have left is Fox News and radio shows like this one. Stay the course.

    If a white republican administration had failed to prosecute KKK members blocking a polling place and had a pattern of not prosecuting “their people” your damn right Chris they would, and should, be called racists! So ends the lesson.

    So much to say – so little room. But here goes. Bring everything down to a smaller level. All the liberals who demand actions that the conservatives shun (abortion, illegal immigration, the takers as oppossed to the makers, etc) should practice what they preach. I’m curious to know how they would feel if the illegals who are crossing the borders, would break into a “feely touchy liberal’s home, would they just let it happen? Oh they could wash a few dishes to pay for their keep, but the home owner would have to feed, educate, etc. the intruder. Then make the homeowner feel guilty because he has to follow rules and regs while the illegals don’t. Why? Because this country needs workers and the blacks simply would not lower themselves to pick fruit anymore – and you’d better not ask them to either. I’ve experienced these so-called blacks who are dripping with gold things and my company has offered them jobs and they disappeared. The initial problem was that private employers WERE hiring minorities, but they had such a big absentee problem, an employer could not endure that. So the tederal government said, “we’ll hire you” – proceeding to make it sweet with benefits up the ying yang, all the absenteeism they cared to commit and employment for life. What a deal. That’s how it started. That’s how government got to be a bigger “nest egg” than the private sectior. I know I’m going on a tangent, but have so much to say. Let anybody walk into your home and take stuff.

    The party elite should take notice, Rush, Beck and the other “problem children” in the media have a lot more convictions and staying power than the stuffed suits who still want the MSM crowd to love them. Fight them at your own peril, because to most of us, you’re disposable, and going against the people who speak the ideology you are supposed to stand for will be a sure sign that you have reached the end of your usefulness. I will see this country ruled by the Democrats until it falls rather than let you pathetic power grubs get even a crumb off their table if you chose to continue this direction.

    The story goes that Einstein had a very small brain. If that is true and the size of your brain implies intelligence then that is why Chris Matthew’s head is so large.

    Tingles and Steele.

    There’s hardly an ounce of intellect between either. I’ll take S.E. Cupp or Glenn Beck any day.

    Chris, you idiot! You just finished calling all Americans racists who weren’t voting for the first African American.

    Michael Steele, instead of pretending you’re an African American, as Chris Matthews idiotically suggested you do, let me make a suggestion for you. Pretend you are a Republican.

    Well, I have just experienced being called a racist because I couldn’t in good conscience vote for Obama. It really makes me sad. How did this person come to that conclusion? By listening to the main stream media and closing down to other sources of information

    Why am I not surprised at the continued slander by the left towards folks (eg: Limbaugh) like me (white, female, conservative and damn proud of it) of being portrayed as racist? I have been in tears over this so many times over the past four years that I just can hardly take it anymore. I am not a racist, Rush Limbaugh is not a racist, but by damn Chris Matthews certainly is and I’m tied of people like him who USE MINORITIES as PAWNS to spin his hatred of conservatives. It is absolutely gross when you hear his “thrill up the leg” comment….just gross to even contemplate his inner thoughts.
