CNN Host D. L. Hughley: Republicans 'Literally Look Like Nazi Germany'

CNN host D.L. Hughley turned to the standard left-wing tactic of playing the Nazi card against Republicans on his program on Saturday evening: “The tenets of the Republican Party are amazing and they seem warm and welcome. But when I watch it be applied -- like you didn’t have to go much further than the Republican National Convention....It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany.” He went on to say that blacks weren’t welcome in the party: “It just does not seem -- like not only are we not welcome -- not only are we not welcome, but they don’t even care what we think.” He later described the GOP as “reactionary.” [audio available here]

The stand-up comedian-turned-TV host made the remark during a segment with Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele and Chuck D, a former member of the hip-hop group Public Enemy. Unfortunately, Steele did not verbally react to Hughley’s Nazi characterization. Chuck D, on the other hand, expressed his agreement with the host about blacks supposedly not being welcome in the Republican Party: “I covered the Republican convention in ‘96 for MTV...and -- seriously, their agenda was totally somewhere else, which totally -- you know, didn’t have black people or people of color in mind.” He then expressed his belief that there should be more major parties in the U.S.

The CNN host then returned to characterizing the GOP: “A lot of the things I see Republicans do specifically are reactionary. They’ll go, you know what -- oh, they don't like Hillary? Let’s give them Sarah Palin. They voted for Obama. Let's give them Michael Steele, and the other guy who will not show who he is yet. And so, it is always so -- it is so plastic, that you go, wow, is this what they think?...That’s what seems so off-kilter to me.”

D. L. Hughley, CNN Host; & Michael Steele, Republican National Commitee Chairman | NewsBusters.orgSteele responded to this by correcting Hughley’s timeline, at least as it related to himself: “There was a Michael Steele before there was a Barack Obama. I mean, the reality of it is, I had established -- I was the only black lieutenant governor in the country at the time. I was the only statewide black elected official when I was lieutenant governor of Maryland from 2003 to 2007. And then Obama got elected in 2005. And so that wasn’t about, you know, oh, geez, let’s do this because of Obama.”

This isn't the first time Hughley has expressed his disdain for Republicans on cable TV. In March 2006, the comic went on an obscenity-laced tirade against President George W. Bush on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher: "If I hear one more person tell me how this man is a man of faith, I think I’ll lose my mother-f***ing mind....When thousands and thousands of people were being, dying in New Orleans, this son of a bitch didn’t do sh*t, and that’s very un-Christlike to me."

The transcript of the relevant portion of the segment, which began 15 minutes into the 10 pm Eastern hour of Hughley’s program, “D.L. Hughley Breaks the News:”

D.L. HUGHLEY: ...The tenets of the Republican Party are amazing and they seem warm and welcome. But when I watch it be applied -- like you didn’t have to go much further than the Republican National Convention.

MICHAEL STEELE: Agreed.

HUGHLEY: It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany -- it really did. I make -- said that point. It just does not seem -- like not only are we not welcome -- not only are we not welcome, but they don’t even care what we think. And that --

STEELE: Well, I’m here now --

HUGHLEY: That seems to be the way I --

CHUCK D: I’d like to say -- I covered the Republican convention in ‘96 for MTV. I have been involved with the Choose or Lose and all -- Rock the Vote for the last 12 to 20 years and -- seriously, their agenda was totally somewhere else, which totally -- you know, didn’t have black people or people of color in mind. So they have a big -- they may have the right person to try to sell them. I’m just saying the tricks should be over as using something else to try to get black people. I mean, real talk is going to have to get people of color for real things. I mean, I feel that -- first of all, the two-party system is just played. It has to expand. The Green Party had Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente, with issues and dealing with a lot of issues that we kind of felt, but also at the same time, maybe the rest of America would have had a problem with it. So it’s got to be a situation where maybe three parties -- maybe four parties, talk to all of the people, and maybe the whole system being repaired.

HUGHLEY: Well, you’re right. A lot of the things I see Republicans do specifically are reactionary. They’ll go, you know what -- oh, they don't like Hillary? Let’s give them Sarah Palin. They voted for Obama. Let's give them Michael Steele, and the other guy who will not show who he is yet. And so, it is always so -- it is so plastic, that you go, wow, is this what they think? They think that we -- they’re missing the entire point of what happened during the Obama transformation. They missed the entire point, and I don’t understand that. That’s what seems so off-kilter to me.

STEELE: But let me mention a couple of things. There was a Michael Steele before there was a Barack Obama. I mean, the reality of it is, I had established -- I was the only black lieutenant governor in the country at the time. I was the only statewide black elected official when I was lieutenant governor of Maryland from 2003 to 2007. And then Obama got elected in 2005. And so that wasn’t about, you know, oh, geez, let’s do this because of Obama. The fact is -- let me make the second point. The second point is -- you know, when I talk about hip-hop, I’m really not talking about specifically just hip-hop. I’m talking about the Republican Party having -- having [an] urban agenda, an agenda where our community lives, where our community is creating wealth, going to school, living and dying -- and have something to say to them. I’m not trying to play off of hip-hop. I’m not trying to use hip-hop. What I’m trying to recognize is there something of value that's happening in the community that’s reflected on the economic side of hip-hop, and I think that’s something we’re talking about.

My, my, my... The dreaded

My, my, my... The dreaded moron disease continues to grow. If these people really want to see how you organize like Hitler did, all you have to do is look at the list of the lefts supporters... The Evil List

 

 Making Fun of AGW http://giovanniworld.wordpress.com/  

pissy is still

Pushing the concept that the Hitler's National Socialist party was a bunch of right wingers.

10ksnooker...

Of course he is.  Fascism is nothing short of full-fledged leftist politics.  The liberals need to do their homework.  There are more parallels between Nazi Germany and this current administration than anything Republican/Conservative.

Do Conservatives wish to strip private citizens of their guns?  Do Conservatives wish to be sure that 'balanced and fair reporting' is mandatory?  Do Conservatives support a big government that has its tentacles in all facets of American life?  Do Conservatives push a one-mind/one-goal nation with the government granting license to turn-in dissenters?  (Sorry, that one isn't here yet, but it's coming.)  I do wonder, however, what ethnic group will be Obama's "Jews" when he reaches full power?  Which ethnic group will he blame for Americas troubles?  

 

Long live the Republic!  Conservatives unite!

Conservatives

will be the "new" jews in this regime. The untermenchen could be political (ideological) or religious rather than ethnic. The result will be the same. 

"Somehow, I told you so, just doesn't quite say it." Will Smith in 'I, Robot.'

ahusser...

That makes perfect sense, of course.

Long live the Republic!  Conservatives unite!

Hughley is a racist.

Period.  End of story.  Racist, racist, racist.

He is not only not qualified to comment of Republicans but he is not qualified to accuse anybody else of being a racist considering that everything he does is about being black.  I'll argue that he isn't welcoming or friendly to white people. (btw, when was the last time you saw him with an Asian person?  Or how about an actual African?)

Hughley wanted to be Eddie Murphy but fell short.  About 5'2" short. 

But he has been living in a million dollar home in Tarzana for more than a decade now.  So I don't know how he has been a victim of anything.  The dude has gotten rich off of white people and an America which apparently isn't racist enough to keep him from getting rich without having to have a day job.  

Yeah those digusting chants of USA - just HORRIBLE!

It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany -- it really did. I
make -- said that point. It just does not seem -- like not only are we
not welcome -- not only are we not welcome, but they don’t even care
what we think. And that --

uhuhuh... another fair and balanced attack on those you don't know or understand. Probably watched fifteen minutes of it on his own network. 

I hope you see the light before the change puts you in chains.

He who plays the Hitler card first loses...

I think that should also apply to the "Nazi" card...

He loses...

Happy Trails...

D.L. Hughley? Well if Maher

D.L. Hughley? Well if Maher can do it than I guess anyone can.

Once gain D.L. is beating the typical liberal dead horse.

Oh by the way if the GOP looked like NAZI Germany, then I guess the Obama followers are reminiscent of those poor souls from Jonestown. 

Wake me when he says something different.

Blacks weren’t welcome in the party?

And their nazis, too??

 
Wow. D.L. Hughley is the leader of the Democrat Party.

 

 

http://locomotivebre...

DLH is just another racist

Who cares what he thinks.If he wants a good look at Nazi's all he has to do is look at his socialist buddies.

It only counts if you are a conservative

Can you immagine the red-eyed righteous outrage that the left would unleash on the GOP if someone at FOX had said..."...the Democrat National Convention....It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany.”...

------------------------------------- 

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

Thomas Jefferson

I can. And maybe it's time for some salvos like that . . .

. . . to be fired across the bow of the United States of Chicago Ship Obama's bow and into the gaggle of bots in and outside of his administration that feed his ego and socialist, anti-American hatred and strategies.

There's nothing to lose by doing this.

The Democrats, liberals and leftists and their thugs and thugettes in the advocacy/adversary media will never tell the truth, will never approach anything resembling objectivity.

"Can you immagine the red-eyed righteous outrage that the left would

Unfortunately I can, it would have lasted for weeks and months.

And plus 10 on your comment.

I ask "where is the outrage?"

I can only explain it by abject stupidity, unfortunately on both sides. I have been in the twilight zone for months. Can this really continue in our Country?

Please, God, Help.

Dope

Firstly, I would like to say the Obama administration literally looks like Uganda, I mean it's like cannibalism all over again the way they are dividing and destroying this country. I half expect humans to be served at state dinners, just like Idi Amin Dada did.

Secondly, to that 'artist' I would say, of course you don't agree with the Republican agenda. You, and your ilk, want a government that punishes people for being white, punishes people who 'made it' (with notable exceptions), and rewards laggards and criminals. Hopefull, the Republicans won't embrace those ideals.

Keep the ILLEGALS out, join NumbersUSA to send free faxes to your reps.

Nazi's ????

It took the Nazi party a lot longer to destroy Germany than it has for O'Dumbo to destroy Americca.

Old, Retired and glad of it.

Stupidity and ignorance remain color-blind and generderless...

. . . as D.L. shows.

Send his hindquarters to Germany, Poland and other places to visit the sites of former concentration camps and Jewish museums.

Send those same dumba** hindquarters to the U.S. Holocaust Museum.

Then, send that same part of his anatomy to some non-politically correct school where he might learn some history.

At least that way the place where his brains are located might understand the stupidity and outright ignorance of what he said.

Maybe.

More racial courage from the

More racial courage from the left........

D. L. Hughley is a failed comedian

Why should anybody care what his opinions are especially when he claims that the GOP is a racist party while speaking to the Chairman of the GOP who is black???!!!!

Apparently failed comedians go into liberal politics as a backup. I guess the professions are related in some way.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

Alan Keyes / Sarah Palin - 2012

Failed Comedians

Did you know that Alan Colmes was a failed comedian as well? 

Guess that goes to show that liberals don't have a sense of humor.

No. I did not know that

I find it hard to believe because Alan Colmes is one of the unfunniest people I've ever seen.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

Chuck D.

''...you know, didn’t have black people or people of color in mind.”

 

That's it!!!!  The republican party / conservatives don't have any group of people in mind.  It is about the individual!!!  Anyone from any group is welcome!

It's the democrats that look as people as part of a group.  They think that all blacks think alike,  all hispanics think alike,  all gays think alike,  all women think alike, etc.

Which is more racist / nazi-like?

 

Beat me to it!

You took the words out of my mouth!  We don't see "groups" of people, we just see people.  That's what D.L. and his ilk will never understand because they only care about identity politics and we couldn't care less.

By the way, who is this D.L. person anyway and why does he have a talk show?

Plus that is exactly what Rush said Saturday!

bt~ That's what Rush has

bt~

That's what Rush has been saying for 20 years, lol!  And what I always tell people when they ask me what the difference is between libs and conservatives - we don't see "groups," just Americans.  Too bad idiots like Hughley will never get it.

Republicans believe every day is the 4th of July.  Democrats believe every day is April 15th ~ Ronald Reagan

BT, Michelle

I hesitate to say this, but unfortunately I think it is true: most
blacks want to be "catered to" politically. They feel they deserve it
and are owed it. Not all mind you but many do I think. The democrats
are masters at doing so and that's is why most blacks stay with the dem. party. The dems make black Americans feel that they and they alone care about them.

Republicans
don't "cater' to any particular group, but try to do what is right for
all Americans. Oh, dems will say we cater to big business, but giving
tax breaks to businesses has proven to create jobs, and that is good for ALL Americans-black, white, hispanic, etc.

 

In Excess

Ever notice how Democrat talking points are parrotted like they were scripted, I know they are not that organized, to have one scriptwriter. It is creepy, their exhibition of hive mind and knee-jerkism makes me think they are aliens (in the UFO sense). 

"Somehow, I told you so, just doesn't quite say it." Will Smith in 'I, Robot.'

The stand-up "comedian" as news commentator...

...the leftists' unfunny standard.

 Ok Blacks arent welcome

 Ok Blacks arent welcome in the Republican Party. They say Republicans dont care about blacks ... perhaps its that the conservative agenda is color blind as Dr. King dreamt that day.  That conservatives want ALL people to succeed based on their efforts and not based on their ethnicity.  Victims never succeed!

"America is on the Short Bus to Socialism"

this Steele is NOT impressing me

Steele, man up - we do not need any further pussa-wussa-fication from you at this time. Take a clue - we do NOT need a hip-hop Chairman. Snoop the Dog Dick just 'converted' to the 'Church of Islam' - think you're gonna win him over?

Just do the g-d job you wanted so badly. Eff hip-hop, eff MTV and eff these Hughely types; they have contributed plenty enough to the destruction of our youth's core values... they will not and never could be the answer to this creeping moral rot. Of course maggots play an important role in the scheme of things - we just don't need to glorify or capitulate to them.

I agree

Steele was playing a poor defense instead of taking it directly straight on. He was basically apologizing. I do not know when Republicans will realize the only reasons they get invited to come on these shows is to provide a backdrop for the crap that is sure to follow. Earlier I was one of those that did not vote for Mr Steele as the leader of the GOP. He is going to serve as "a leader" but he is clearly not "the" leader in any sense of the word. Who can name the last guy that had that job? Who knew that Mel Martinez was suppose to be leading the charge for getting more Repubs elected? He was AWOL as hell and now is not going to run again for his Senate seat in FL. Good thing cause many of us planned to vote against his sorry ass. Hugley or whatever his name is, is a dunce. Do people actually watch his or his brand of show? So far Steele is another huge disappointment for the GOP but I did not expect much of the Party since it has lost its will to win and is being run by no one in particular (least of all McCain) and has been overrun by too many lukewarm RINOs and wimps.

"He was basically apologizing"

Yeah, and look how well that worked out for McCain.

They have a very short memory.

I think Steele

is having a hard time with the personal attacks. Just like Bush he is starting to fold. He doesn't want to be left out, ostracized from the Bro's. One too many oreo cookies thrown his way, being called house n-word, and Uncle Tom. He needs some behind the scenes mentoring and support which the Republican Party is clearly not providing. Right now the GOP seems to be on life-support and in a coma.

Right after Rush's CPAC

Right after Rush's CPAC speech, CNN ran viewer emails in response.  CNN's first email consisted of a viewer stating "I only have one word to say - HITLER!"

Looks like we have clear evidence of a meme at CNN.  Drum up Nazi, Hitler, fascism, etc.  How ironic is it that Hitler once said if you tell a lie long enough, loud enough, and often enough the people will believe it.??  Great job, CNN.  You should be proud of yourself for aiding such "constructive" rhetoric.

A Backbone

If Michael Steele doesn't get a backbone very soon and stand up to the Liberals he is going to find himself a foot note with little to show for it.

He needed to blast DL and let him know that being a go along black man in the Democratic Party is not standing up for either his race or his "people".  Attack his flawed logic and get into his face.  The RNC still doesn't get it, we don't want polite Republicans, we want  EFFECTIVE representation. Fight or get out of the way for those that will.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you."

Get Some BackBone

Why can't the GOP get someone with a backbone?

All Steele had to say was "Blacks have been voting for Democrats for 50 years and what have they gained from it?"

The War on Poverty has been going on since FDR.  So why haven't the Dems won it yet?

Hi Goth... Exactly

Hi Goth...

Exactly right...I caught this show, this segment, and all he had to say was something like you suggested, simple as that...

I seethed watching the BS...and I was very disappointed once again.

If the 'R' party doesn't grow a spine...it really will be too late for years to come, it already is destructive enough with what the dems are doing to us in the country for the next two years, we have to take back some power to stop this, and this is not the way to do so in my opinion either.

Exactly

 What I was thinking, this is frustrating

 

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

Get original Hughley

Libs constantly fling the Nazi Germany slur at Conservatives because they don't know any other examples of fascism from history.  That's how frigging stupid they are.  I mean, cmon, try calling Bush Pol Pot or Stalin or something original, you unimaginative toad droppings.  Moral of the story?  Libs should not lead anything because they're freaking dumbasses.

"What you can not enforce, do not command" -Sophocles-

NBRA has a different reply

Steele should have just passed this on to those morons:

http://www.nationalb...

Ummm....

Maybe D.L. should find out why he was chosen for this show.  Obama gets elected, CNN gets D.L. for a "news" show!

Not A man of Steele

Mr. Steele is not only a coward but he is also a liar- may I be the first to correct the record; Mr. Steele Quotes: 

 "I was the only statewide black elected official when I was lieutenant governor of Maryland from 2003 to 2007."

Ken Blackwell served as SOS of Ohio from 1998-2006.

Men like Steele make me sick he is a fake conservative, This is why I left the Republican Party.

 

 

 

"Ken Blackwell served as

"Ken Blackwell served as SOS of Ohio from 1998-2006"

SOS? Secretary of State? Hmmm... not ELECTED.

"I was the only statewide black elected official when I was lieutenant governor of Maryland from 2003 to 2007."

 Who's the liar, Sterling? That would be you when you say "This is why I left the Republican Party"

It just does not seem --

It just does not seem -- like not only are we not welcome -- not only are we not welcome, but they don’t even care what we think.

These kind of comments get so tiresome. No one in the GOP EVER said blacks were not welcome to the party. How are we suppose to have more blacks join our party when THEY DON'T WANT TO!?

They don't even care what we think - Well the thing of it is, if you don't believe in the core principles of a particular group, why would you want to join in the first place? And why should you expect the group to change their principles for you just to get you to join?

Should a Jewish person expect the Catholic church to change their core beliefs in order for Jews to join their congregation? No! That would be illogical and stupid!

Michael Steele needs to get more of his viewpoints across as to why he chose the Republican party vs the Democrats. Instead he goes on and on about this hip-hop crap that seems like he's trying to hard to be "from tha hood". Just explain why abortion, welfare, single motherhood, and affirmative action are bad for the black community and maybe you'll convert some with the logic of your arguments.

Yes!

They don't even care what we think - Well the thing of it is,
if you don't believe in the core principles of a particular group, why
would you want to join in the first place?

Exactly--and neither Hughley nor Chuck D would join the RNC if the RNC did change the core principles to match the DNC.  I don't think Steele realizes this.

If you tell a lie long enough . . .

I'm getting really annoyed with people who obviously have no understanding of history comparing REPUBLICAN sentiments to the NSDAP ideals. It's so clearly the very opposite of the truth.

Just like how people have the gall to compare the Bush administration to "1984" (when they likely haven't even read it) but can't see the obvious parallels of the current administration to the BB system. Half of this country is brainwashed and complacent in their ignorance. I hope enough more people wake up before it's too late. Or that Jesus comes soon.

Mr. Steele - you fumbled!

I hope to contact Mr. Steele by email as soon as possible.  He had the chance to stand up for conservative principles, and instead he sides with liberal media types in calling Republicans Nazis?  And joining a liberal talker in bashing Rush to boot?  For shame Mr. Steele - where are your guts?

I joined with Rush in defending you from liberal attacks when you were running for senate.  I supported you when they sent thugs to paw through your garbage and steal your credit card numbers.  And THIS is how you repay our support?  By siding with the the enemy?  

You wimped out, plain and simple.  You knew you were in hostile territory on a liberal show, and you stooped to their level to score brownie points with pop culture figures!

You're not making a very splendid figure as the 'head' of the Republican National Committee.  No wonder people are looking more and more at Rush as a de facto leader - we're getting NO leadership from you and the other RINOs in Washington.

post again in hopes

Hey I took five minutes and asked the guy to find his balls and get with the program or get the hell out before he does more damage, I'm thinking you can too:

chairman@gop.com

If they haven't filled up yet, that is.

Also asked him if he was more interested in being a media star than.....but I think I already know the answer.

Literally?

"The tenets of the Republican Party are amazing and they seem warm and welcome. But when I watch it be applied -- like you didn’t have to go much further than the Republican National Convention....It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany.”

So we're putting Jews in gas chambers and invading Poland?

Yet another airhead on CNN to join Rick Sanchez, Jack Cafferty, et. al.

Rhetoric

"So we're putting Jews in gas chambers and invading Poland?"

That's what bothers me about this rhetoric.  Liberals talk about Hitler and Nazi Germany so casually that they miss the horrors associated with it.   

"Reactionary"?  I don't

"Reactionary"?  I don't think I've heard that term applied to conservatives since the 1970s.

If that is the case, then the Republican Party better start getting off of their a$$es and get some revolution going on, or there won't be anything left to react to.

One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

relax - this amatuer

relax - this amatuer rhetoric proves its severe democrat desperation time:)

D.L.

Get a life!

This talk going unchallenged proves one thing

Mr. Steele has no backbone and no idea what it takes to lead conservatives. Ann Coulter would have done a much better job. The more I hear and the more I see of this guy leads me to believe that if the GOP gets it's act together and gets back to it's roots, it will be in spite of Steele and Romney and their like, not because of them.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

I am rather concerned with

I am rather concerned with Michael Steele's public demeanor myself. As much as I loathed his politics, at least Howard Dean launched a campaign that did not leave many leaves unturned in expanding the democratic party. While Steele's job is fundamentally much harder, as the republican party has the press to fight, I'm sure that Steele will have to ratchet up the responses. I know I'M not waiting.

Comedian / Comentator Really ?

I think we need to remember that Mr. Hughley is a comedian and not a journalist.
He's using the same tactics that he would use on stage. Say something outrageous that's going to get people to pay attention. Since comedioan Lenny Bruce started swearing in the 60s, it became obvious that swearing, making outrageous statements, etc. Now he's doing the typical Leftist response nazi and racist.
The only good part of this tripe is that it shows the O-Bots are getting scared.

HUGHLEY:.....But when I watch it be applied -- like you didnt have to go much further than the Republican National Convention.
I hear juvenile speech similar to this in some of my libs who have postgraduate degrees...... uhhh like uh man.....ya' know what I'm sayin'...it's just like that ya' know It's a substitute for facts, substance, logic or any type of debating the facts. The racism / nazi slurs are also meant as logical debate enders. When you call someone a nazi it causes an emotional reaction and lib' brains just switch off.
Then: MICHAEL STEELE: Agreed.
WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?
He's de-facto agreeing and endorsing his statements. It's almost as if he's on Turners payroll. But we're only human, we make mistakes. The "agreed" statement allows him to go right into:
HUGHLEY: It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany -- it really did. I make -- said that point. It just does not seem -- like not only are we not welcome -- not only are we not welcome, but they dont even care what we think. ....
Now he can add "mind reading psychic" to his resume. He knows what I'm thinking WOW !
I don't know much about Chuck D and the MTV research institute of journalism /sarc off
Continuing:
And so, it is always so -- it is so plastic, that you go, wow, is this what they think?
I haven't heard such eloquence since I read the Federalist Papers, WOW !
We need more conservatives talking about USA getting flushed into the toilet of Socialism !

Actually, they look like the

Actually, they look like the Pilgrims, founders of what became America.  Got a problem with that?

Dumb da Dumb Dumb

Hollyweirdos....why would we care what he has to say?  Most hollywood types don't even have college degrees, let along graduate degrees.  CNN is really hurting to be giving this guy a show....

I'm glad Rush and his

I'm glad Rush and his response to Steele today was just played on Fox with Brett Baer. (sp)

I pray this keeps up...Steele better get a clue and soon.

§ ALERT!! Steele to Rush: I'm sorry!!! BREAKING DRUDGE.

“I’m not going to engage these guys and sit back and provide them the popcorn for a fight between me and Rush Limbaugh,” Steele added. “No such thing is going to happen. … I wasn’t trying to slam him or anything.”

I wonder how Olby and MOOCOW will cover this??

Ster.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Interesting, ster

On Monday night, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine called on Republicans to "stop following divisive figures" like Limbaugh.

"I was briefly encouraged by the courageous comments made my counterpart in the Republican Party over the weekend challenging Rush Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party and referring to his show as ‘incendiary’ and ‘ugly,’" Kaine said in a statement. "However, Chairman Steele’s reversal this evening and his apology to Limbaugh proves the unfortunate point that Limbaugh is the leading force behind the Republican Party, its politics and its obstruction of President Obama’s agenda in Washington."

Hey Tim Kaine....Bugger Off!  You lead your party and stay away from mine!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

I'm sick of the spin.  The

I'm sick of the spin.  The Republican party doesn't need white people, black people, red people, or purple people.  Skin color is I-R-R-E-L-E-V-A-N-T!!!!  It's relevant in the Democrat party, in the minds of liberals looking to group people in a way to which they can apply class warfare, age warefare, race warfare, etc etc.  As a conservative, I want a party that consists of people who want individual freedoms, who want government out of their lives, who want their taxes low so they can do with their OWN money what they choose to do, who want liberty, who want to be able say things that are on their minds and express their ideas without some moronic threat from the language police.  I want a party of people who ARE the People that the government is supposed to consist of, who want government to understand it's role and not be the parent and try to make every American it's child.

That's who I want in a conservative party.  Notice I didn't mention age, race, gender, etc, etc etc.   I don't give a rats arse who is part of the party, if that person is conservative and wants America to be great, and freedom of the individual to be first and foremost, NOT power of the government.

What is with all

of the bold print?

I wish I knew.  I posted,

I wish I knew.  I posted, and everyones stuff was bold, or most of it.  So I went back to check, and I wasn't set for bold.  Something's wrong, I am seeing many of the posts in bold, even the "Reply" button and other things.

All posts below a certain point are all bold.

Greg... Your post above

Greg...

Your post above here is jsut exactly what Rush said Sat.

Simple as that.

as racism returns...

I get so tired of hearing how the "white angry republicans" don't like blacks, women and natives. It's gets so old and stale. After a generation of absolute whining by rich and successful black men about how the "white man" has kept the blacks down it become tainted by hypocrite rhetoric.

The rich and well off black men, who succeed, are the one complaining to how the black man is poor via the white man's thumb. That there are no blacks who came to the convention.

Well, I didn't really look at the crowd, there were many, many people. As Rush stated upon looking over the very people in the audience that he saw only people. Not race, religion or gender.

Now, who is the real racist? The man who sees just people or the man who doesn't see the people but only skin color? 

 

 

 

Alexander Hamilton: "We are a Republican government. Real liberty is
never found in the despotism or in the extremes of a Democracy."

Up is now down.

Now, who is the real racist? The man who sees just people or the man who doesn't see the people but only skin color?

 

In 2009?  The man who doesn't see skin color is the racist. Or so I've been told at "diversity training", where racial and ethnic stereotypes freely flow, and he who doesn't consider them when dealing with individuals is "insensitive".

We look like Nazi germany??

Really? The Democratic party and the human sh*t stains that people it are more likely to enslave or round up their opponents and do away with them than will conservatives. Abortion and legally assisted suicide in Oregon are examples of the depths that Democrats can and will sink to. I have no doubt that they would do worse to us if they could. Go to any AM/PM Mini Market after 9PM on a Friday or Saturday night to see the denizens of the Democratic party. These are the pockets your earnings are being funneled into folks.

 Nazi Party my *ss. The only party being represented is the Communist party as paraded by the Democrats.

Hughley Is An Ignorant Demagogue

Mr. Hughley is an ignorant demagogue who has sipped from the elixir of historical revisionism and inaccuracy, not to mention engaging in outrageous racist hyperbole, that such an intellectually corrupt argument does not deserve a reasoned response.

However, because it was aired on CNN, someone needs to bring to light this racism.

For full disclosure, I am not a Republican.

However, as a student of history, there is not a single credible analogy that can be made between the Nazi party, which happened to be a socialist party, in case Mr. Hughley would like to learn a bit about history that his embarrassing ignorance shows he lacks, and the Republican Party.

Additionally, although I am not Jewish, in college my minor, which was called an "emphasis phase" in California at the time, was in "Genocidal Studies."

Mr. Hughley’s brainless comment would have been viewed with extreme sadness because it cheapens the lives lost as the result of the Nazis’ genocidal campaigns, as do all of the false Nazi comparisons that we have lived with for at least eight years.

The ignorant racism and erroneous historical comparison that he made on CNN should have been retracted by CNN.

It is an offense to the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators and the approximately 60 million human beings who died because the Nazis launched a Holocaust.

Mr. Hughley, you are an embarrassment, you are a racist and you should be taken off the air.

You are nothing but an insulting coward intent on using your soapbox to perpetuate partisan hyperbole that cheapens the lives lost at the hands of true Nazis -- the Nazis themselves, Mr. Hughley.

I suggest you invest a few of your CNN dollars in The Teaching Company's programs on The Third Reich, World War II, etc.

You might actually learn something about the Nazis, instead of making asinine comments that not only reveal your racism, Mr. Hughley, but demonstrate that CNN will go to great lengths to feature ignoramuses such as you.

What an intellectual lightweight, you are, Mr. Hughley.

You also owe all of the Jewish Republicans an apology, Mr. Hughley.

Your lack of insight, Mr. Hughley, reveals your puerile understanding of history, since you have called all the Jews who are Republicans Nazis.

That is so horribly repugnant that I cannot believe that CNN has not terminated you.

If it were a conservative host who made such an outrageous statement, that host would be off the air.

And before you accuse me of racism, Mr. Intellectual Lightweight Hughley, I challenge you to debate Alan Keyes, a hero of mine, who also happens to be African-American, on any issue. Although he isn't a Republican, I'm sure he would make mince meat of your intellectually and historically nefarious statement.

In Mr. Keyes is a true intellectual heavyweight, who would pound your rants into the dust where they belong.

I also challenge you to debate Jewish Republicans and accuse them, face-to-face, you lily-livered coward, of being Nazis.

That’s right, Mr. Hughley, there are Jews who are Republicans and you have just insulted them by calling them Nazis.

Mr. Hughley, you are unbelievably pathetic. Show the world you have some degree of integrity and apologize..

Glenn Franco Simmons

D.L. Hughley Is the CNN

D.L. Hughley Is the CNN  attempt to be relevent now that we have an african American chief executive. Unfortunately the network gurus at CNN picked the wrong dude!

Failed actor, failed comedian, and soon to be failed TV commentator.

And Michael Steele better grow some gonads, or risk becoming a failed GOP party leader! He is not doing himself or the GOP any favors when he does not respond to attacks by the likes of Hughley, or Chuck D, rap success turned into one of many Air America flops. 

I don't mind Steele owning up to the failures of the GOP of which there are many, but he was elected to advance the partys principles and not sit by quietly when we are called Nazis by a party whose most revered president interned patriotic american citizens like cattle for the crime of having japanese surnames. 

 

 

IT....and others...Read

IT....and others...

Read these comments by people who feel like I do about what has happened with Steele and his comments about Rush and yes, us conservatives out here...

...It made my heart happy!

Btw...I have heard that Steele is now trying to worm his way out of this now, said he was misunderstood, misspoke or such...I, for one, really hope so, then again, I didn't want Steele in as head of the RNC and he has already showed one more example of why this week-end. (I supported Steele like crazy btw with what was done to him by the dems with Schumer leading the way along with their best buddies, the msm)...

No, what is happening is he is hearing from us out here, along with the message of zilch for $$$.

I got news

for DL, osama obama with soros as his puppetmaster looks more like Hitler and nazism than anything in this country ever has.

Hearts and Minds

Sounds to me as if Hughley attended Tavis Smiley's "State of the Black Nation" the other day and is still charged up from the obvious and underlying tone of the entire event, including Obama's event- and crowd-specific taped comments.

When will Hughley and those that believe as he does, people that actually do cling to racism and hate, ever realize that nothing should mean less to us than race.  Circumstances of birth are nothing more than random and should never be a source of pride or shame.

What Party is holding back

What Party is holding back Blacks? How about the thousands of Black babies that are aborted each year...guess which party backs abortion. I just had to say it. Hughley is a moron. 

Glad he apologized...

I'm glad Mr. Steele seems to have apologized.

That said, it beggars the question: what are his core beliefs?  If he continues to waffle like this and show a weak-minded pattern of behavior by:

a) going on liberal shows and joining liberal hosts in bashing and trashing the GOP

b) being taken to task for the aforementioned GOP bashing

c) apologizing later to conservatives and claiming his was 'misunderstood'

d) return to A and repeat cycle

 If he does this constantly, what kind of a LEADER is that?  Give him a second chance I suppose.  But if he continues to demonstrate that he would rather grovel to liberals than lead conservatives, then replace him.  If he won't lead the GOP, then we have to replace him with someone who WILL.

D.L. Hughley is the only NAZI in this picture

He may as well be sitting up there wearing a Waffen SS Death's Head cap:

http://i3.iofferphot...

After all, he supports genocide against people of his own race right here in America:

http://www.blackgeno...

Hughley is a textbook example of someone who has been so brainwashed by the left that he stands idly by and allows that same left to murder black Americans.

As if that were not bad enough, he uses his TV job at CNN to convince other black Americans to support the lefties with their votes, just as he does, and gets paid tons of money by those same lefties to do it, too.

It doesn't get more depraved than that.

Down in Hell, Josef Mengele is probably grinning from ear to ear, and Goebbels is probably doing somersaults.

Our clueless political leaders are about to drive us all over a cliff. The time to HITM is now-before we go over.

After all, he supports genocide against people of his own race right here in America:

http://www.blackgeno...

Hughley is a textbook example of someone who has been so brainwashed by the left that he stands idly by and allows that same left to murder black Americans.

 

I would add: CNN is so far left that they allow a Host to call viewers Nazi's...and not offer a retraction, nor apology. 

I see the flaw in his logic.

Chuck D: "their agenda was totally somewhere else, which totally -- you know, didn’t have black people or people of color in mind ..." 

A political party is a political organization that seeks to attain and maintain political power within government, usually by participating in electoral campaigns.* 

  The government would be the United States government in this case. One of the purposes of the U.S government is to promote the GENERAL WELFARE.** Not individual welfare or promote individual races or cultures. The Republican party does not have the individual black race in mind, nor does it have the asian, hispanic, white, or any other individual race in mind. It has the consideration of ALL PEOPLES.

 Oh and the Republican Party does have an equal treatment clause in its values -

Ensuring Equal Treatment for All

Individual rights – and the responsibilities that go with them – are the foundation of a free society. From the time of Lincoln, equality of individuals has been a cornerstone of the Republican Party. Our commitment to equal opportunity extends from landmark school-choice legislation for the students of Washington D.C. to historic appointments at the highest levels of government. We consider discrimination based on sex, race, age, religion, creed, disability, or national origin to be immoral, and we will strongly enforce anti-discrimination statutes. We ask all to join us in rejecting the forces of hatred and bigotry and in denouncing all who practice or promote racism, anti-Semitism, ethnic prejudice, or religious intolerance. As a matter of principle, Republicans oppose any attempts to create race-based governments within the United States, as well as any domestic governments not bound by the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.

Precisely because we oppose discrimination, we reject preferences, quotas, and set-asides, whether in education or in corporate boardrooms. The government should not make contracts on this basis, and neither should corporations. We support efforts to help low-income individuals get a fair shot based on their potential and merit, and we affirm the common-sense approach of the Chief Justice of the United States: that the way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating. 

  Every other culture that has arrived on the shores of the United States has managed to dig it's way out of its collective situation. Except one that continues to play victim instead. And it has plenty of victim promoters like Chuck D, and D L Hughley going on camera and constantly demanding WHAT ABOUT US? DO SOMETHING ABOUT US? CARE ABOUT US! TALK ABOUT US!

 You want something done. Do it yourself.

Sincerely,

a Veteran of a 1000 psychic wars.

Steele - The GOP's Biden?

KEY dialogue was missing from the transcription.  (see boldfaced text):

HUGHLEY: It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany -- it really did. I make -- said that point. It just does not seem -- like not only are we not welcome -- not only are we not welcome, but they don’t even care what we think. And that --

STEELE: Well, I’m here now --

HUGHLEY: That seems to be the way I --

***STEELE:  Well, your right.***

What is Steele's malfunction?  This is not the first time he has had foot-in-mouth disease.  Where does Steele want to take the GOP?

This and his other recent disturbing statements, such as disparaging Limbaugh, are giving the impression of a confused and weak leader.  Capitulation is the Liberal way, not the Conservative/Republican way, Mr. Steele.  Do not confuse a McCain bag-o-worms political platform loss with a failure of what repeatedly has proven successful - Conservative principles.

Fight the agitprop of political halfwits like Hughley by revealing the ignorance of their words.  Never agree in order to curry favor.

If Steele persists in willingness to dirt on the GOP, then he must be removed.  That we are even discussing this topic should probably prompt for serious discussion of his removal as he has tainted the brand and the leadership entrusted to right the listing GOP ship. 

Keeping him sends a convoluted message to the public - the RNC leader insults the GOP and we are supposed to now vote for the GOP???   The Dems will use this against the GOP no matter what, so we must do what is right for us, not what we think will "look" best to others.  Keeping Steele as RNC leader despite additional insults would only give further ammo to the Dems. 

We don't need a GOP version of Joe "The Gaffe Machine" Biden.  We need a leader that promotes our principles and engenders confidence in the GOP platform as being the best opportunity for Americans to bear the fruit of their dreams through inspiration and perspiration, not government handouts or authoritarian overmanagement.

strat...Obviously, Steele's

Obviously, Steele's overriding objective is the expansion of the Republican base, and he no doubt views Rush as a pitfall rather than a bridge.

Of course, broadening the base risks diluting principles.  Not to mention the fact you can neither "walk the walk" nor "talk the talk" with a foot stuck in your mouth.

Jer

Yes indeed, Jer. Steele

Yes indeed, Jer.

Steele has now had a foot in mouth and rear.  What's next?

 Pitiful beginning.  Who the heck appointed him?  No one asked me (though I probably would have voted for him... unless Fred was willing!).

Goes to show how little most know about these politicians before they are elected.

If I was a conspiracy

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would speak of a vast conspiracy to destroy the G.O.P.  From the INSIDE!  First McCain as our nominee and now Steele as our leader?  WTF?  Steele showed no backbone in this interview.

So, were the Nazi's, huh?

So, we're the Nazi's huh? Let's keep score...

Who wants to replace the open market free enterprise capitalist system that has been wildly successful and created the freest and most prosperous society in history and replace it with a repressive, opressive, tyrannical centrally planned socalist system that failed miserably and led to the death, imprisonment and impoverishment of millions in the 20th century? That would be the Democrats and the Nazis.

Who wants to nanny regulate through force of government every aspect of everyone's life? Well, the Democrats and the Nazis.

Who wants to crush the free speech of any political opposition (ie the "Fairness" Doctrine)?  Also the Democrats and the Nazis.

Who wants to ban guns? Again the Democrats and the Nazis.

Margret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and the eugenics movement wanted abortion used as a method of eliminating black people and other "undesireables", famously referring to such people as "weeds". Adolph Hitler, master race euginicist was a desciple of Margaret Sanger. Who else is all for abortion? The Democrats and the Nazis. Recall Nancy Pelosi stating abortions are benificial (stimulate the economy) because it will reduce the cost to the government.

So far Hughley, you're winning the "Who's a Nazi" contest...

CPAC

I saw a then 13 year old speak at the CPAC meeting the other day that had more savy and common sense than our new leader of the GOP.  Is there any age limit on this position?  If not that now 14 year old would have cleaned these two peoples clock.

He went on to say that blacks weren’t welcome in the party: “It

They're not welcome to the party...just like anyone else that doesn't think, that hates what we stand for, that doesn't support America, and that isn't concerned about doing the right thing.

And, no, we don't want to "know what they think".We already know what they think.....the Democratic Party tells them what to think every 4 years!

Zimbabwe

And Hugely looks just like Robert Mugabe, prime black Dictator. 

get michael steele the hell out of the chairmanship.

he did a passible job in my home state of maryland as lt. govenor. however, this strategy of "lets get a black guy to get black votes" will work about as well as "lets get a woman to get hillary votes". not one more dime for the gop until he's gone . yes he has a role to play in the party and is a smart man. we need someone to fire back aggressively when fired on...he doesn't have that ability. when you get air time on the opposition networks you need a counter-puncher.

Isn't that a racist

Isn't that a racist comment.. I am completely offended, since I am half German and have never been a Nazi supporter of any kind!   What happen to the PC police or are they on a doughnut break or got paid off by the stimulus bill?  …… calling “us” Nazi’s is so not PC!

"No Bias, No Bull...." funny tagline..cant make this stuff up

CNN has always been a bit of a joke in its strong leftward bias...which is such a shame bc they have such a strong reach, such a potentially great franchise. 

yet again, liberals at the helm mismanage it to further their political desires, try to counter balance it by placing a stamp of "no bias, no bull" which, to any objective observer, is simply laughable.  in the process, they continue to dilute the franchise with a firehose. 

Where is their board of directors?  someone - everyone - on the Board should be screaming bloody murder at the destruction of that brand.  do they not get the joke they've become?

 

 

So skewed

I find that most Americans have such an elementary and skewed understanding of Nazism (and fascism and communism in general).  They think Republicans are majority white (like the Nazi's) and there is the connection.  They do not understand that the Nazi party would find much more common ground with the Democrats of today than with the Republicans.  The Nazi's were Darwinists, and happy eugenists. The Nazi's were for socialized programs in medicine and government education.  The Nazi's focused on many public works projects (like the highway system).  The Nazi's were for silencing their critics (Fairness Doctrine).  The Nazi's sided with Israel's enemies.  The Nazi's hated free market capitalism as it represented a free and unmilitarized nation.  The only connection the Nazi's have to the Republican party is that they are both majority white. 

 

"Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others."

Ditto the Rambler...

He's not even original.  

He's not even original.   I recall Richard Belzer saying the exact same thing after the 92 convention.  I was an underinformed, college student Dem at the time, and I am ashamed to admit that I agreed with him at the time.   I'm an adult now and I know better.

What a TOOL

Let's see.... what party is it that's funding and encourging the elimination of inner city (mostly African American) babies? And look who they got to be their spokesman for their cause. Can you say 'tool'?

... and DL Hughley looks

... and DL Hughley looks like a black gangsta rapper who'd "pop a cap" (it's what the kidz say, I hear) in a white dude just for his bling and Nikes...

Hey D.L. -- I like this mindless stereotyping of folks as violent racist killers based on how they look to one! It's fun. Thanks for giving me permission!

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy

Not a clue what a Nazi is

Who are these celebrity liberal lemmings that paint the GOP with a swastika every time they open their collectivist mouth?  Have they never analyzed Nazi doctrine?  And since when have conservative Republicans (as a whole) done anything but fall over backwards to welcome minority people into the party -- or anyone for that matter.  I don't know what bizarro world they live in, but in mine, we welcome anyone and everyone who desire to keep this nation free according to the blessed constitution. Just keep spouting those idiotic buzzwords that have no connection to reality.  Maybe you can recruit more brain dead panhandlers to your morass of non thinkers.

boy howdy over and outy

d.l.hughley

well, I hope your motherf***ing mind does get blown.  It would be the smallest explosion ever recorded you ignorant, uninformed SOB. You don't know squat about Nazi Germany or what they did. Flipping out an expletive or two and a generalization you have no conceptualization about is soooo ignorant.  And CNN gives you time and pays you for such drivel.  Ain't America great.

Whats Hughley going to try next?

DL Hughley was a poor excuse for a comedian, I suspect this is why he now does the news for CNN, but as this event, where he once again can't seem to communicate without the use of profanity, clearly displays...News isn't his forte either. 

 I guess it will be back to the unemployment line for Hughley, as soon as CNN figures out they blew another paycheck on a left wing loon.

First of all I think D.L.

First of all I think D.L. must have skipped social studies in high school. The word NAZI is an acronym not a German word,  meaning something to the affect in English, National Socialist Workers Party. Socialism is on the left side of the political spectrum not the right. So comparing the GOP to NAZI Germany is wrong. I don't think D.L. has ever watched a documentary on WW2 or NAZI Germany,  or he would not compare the GOP to NAZI's. You need to watch the actions and policies of a political party, not some convention, to compare it to the NAZIs.  (I capitalize NAZI because it is an acronym as I stated earlier, I am not yelling per internet etiquette.)

 Second, a comedian doing the news shows you what qualifications they use for the job. You don't have to be a journalist to be news caster. It's all about ratings and money not the truth.

Let's examine the NAZI conspiracy.....

Hmmmmm..

1.  Good orator; charismatic personality but ultimately self serving

2. Achieved social change in the country during/after depression state (any handout would motivate someone)

3. Aroused the masses with "proud to be a German"  (could be substituted with "NOW I'm proud to be an American")

4.  Had a new branch of military started to be political to usurp the Apolitical military branches (sounds a lot like a suggestion to have a "military arm that can be used in the states".)

5. Remove the rights of the masses by the the political arm...(guns first, hard to resist when you can't fight) 

.....did I miss anything?...

How about: Silencing the

6. Silencing the opposition via the "fairness doctrine" or some derivative thereof. 

7. Using census to gerrymander the political landscape to your own advantage to stay in power.
