Michael Steele's b.s. response to town hall protests

By GottaLaff

Qui, moi?

"We're not inciting anyone to go out and disrupt anything," said Steele. "We're not organizing the town halls."

"There's no upside for the Republican Party [in the protests]," he said later in the call. "That's not something that's coordinated or deliberately set in motion by me or anyone in the state party."

Um, "deliberately"? "Coordinated"? How about "encouraged", "not discouraged", "nudged along", "tacitly approved", "winking and nodding", and/or "surreptitiously requested"?

"This administration has the arrogance to look their nose down at my mother, my sister, my family members, my co-workers who are legitimately concerned — in some cases, ticked off — at their ability to appreciate… that there's something to be mad and concerned about [over the Obama health care plan]," said Steele.

Mad enough for this stuff?

As for looking down noses: Pot. Kettle. Small-minded.

"To sit back and say this is a Republican cabal is a bunch of baloney. And you can substitute that with another 'b' if you want."

Why, I think I will. Blueprint.

Later, a frustrated Steele shot down another question about the GOP's view of the recent chaos at congressional town halls. "I'll speak slowly. There's legitimacy to the protest. But how people protest…. I have no control over."

Hey, Aluminuminum, I'll speak slowly. Yes you do. One word from you and a few of your more legitimate party leaders, and these lesions on society would settle down. Unless, of course, you're saying you're impotent-- as a leader, f course.

I can only imagine what kind of parent Steele is: "If my kids bully and pummel their classmates, well... I have no control over that."

He added that there was nothing unusual about the development, and that he did not understand why the face-offs were drawing media attention. "Why is it so out of the ordinary that the American people should stand up and say, 'I have a concern about something the government is going to do?'

How many ways is that statement so utterly and mind-boggling stupid? He doesn't understand why this is grabbing Tee Vee Machine time? Really? This abberant behavior is normal to him?

And listen carefully, Steele... I'll speak slowly: If all they did was stand up, when called on, and voice concern, then no, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary. Why must we explain this to you?

What kind of loony, brain-dead RNC chair is this guy?

Forgive my not mincing words, but I didn't feel like writing around this at all. This line of b.s. was simply too preposterous for that.
