VIDEO: Michael Steele rudely dismisses woman whose mom just died of cancer

By GottaLaff

Aww, isn't it precious how Michael Steele still thinks he's able to deliver a coherent message?

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele will hit the road Thursday in part of an effort to target four potentially vulnerable House Democrats on healthcare legislation. [...]

The chairman will start off the day by visiting the district of Rep. Baron Hill (D-Ind.), followed by stops in the districts of Reps. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio), Zach Space (D-Ohio) and Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Ohio).

The four were all elected in relatively Republican districts during the last two election cycles.

I hope Michael Aluminuminum can remember which talking point on Medicare to quote from this time.

I also hope one of those four targeted representatives will bring lots of negative attention to the chairman of the RNC, a Very Important Rushpublic spokesman, a leader of the Party of NOise, by asking him about this little episode:

But it's Steele's response that makes this moment both newsworthy and a terrible comment on his character. After saying that he believed in a mature, honest discussion and not in shouting, Steele said, "People are coming to these town meetings and they're like [he then shakes]." He then looked and gestured right at Ms. Duzak and said, "It makes for great TV. You'll probably make it tonight, enjoy it." He then turned his back to her, as the crowd clapped.

Think about what Steele did. He didn't only turn his back and rudely dismiss a young woman whose mother just died of cancer. He used the shameful recent behavior of the right wing town hall screamers -- his own party's base -- to try and turn the crowd against Ms. Duzak.
