Um…

What the hell is going on?  Were the  GOP taken over by fantastically idiotic-completely racially ignorant-pod people? Am I in some sort of weird experiment where I’m being carefully fed all of my information about politics by some mad scientist?  The experiment? See at what point Elon hits the “REVOLUTION” button that all  Black people have. It’s like a panic button, but instead of getting all crazy, we get even.

Yesterday we posted video of Congress hopeful Les Phillip basically begging White’s to embrace him since he can attack President Obama and us mean ol’ Liberals can’t ‘t call him racist. Brilliant idea right? Now there’s audio of Newt Gingrich on Dennis Miller’s radio show, using the same argument in defense of Michael Steele!

Via Think Progress:

Newt Gingrich:
“And I think overall he is a very impressive guy despite the fact – in fact, I think one of the reasons the elite media attacks him is it drives the left crazy to have an African-American chairman of the RNC because then they can’t attack the RNC for being racist.

It’s reasonably implausible to say, “Go look at that racist chairman Michael Steele.” And so I think that they try to find other ways to attack him because I think they realize that he’s the beginning of a genuine threat.”

Um…er…well…but the thing…and the other thing…uh…

Ahem…

Dear Newt Gingrich,

First off, let me commend you on an amazing job of being this spectacularly douchey for so many years. A lot of people let their “Douche Game™” fall off after a while–not you though. It’s this type of commitment that takes you places…hell being one of them.

Your argument that Steele is the reason why the GOP can’t be called racist is…um…how do you say…idiotic. Steele is one of the main reasons I currently believe the GOP is totally fucked when it comes to race. The party has kept an obviously inept guy in charge for far too long. When the Republicans first pulled out Operation:”We have a Black guy too!” it was sort of funny. But as time went on and gaffe after gaffe was made by the GOP’s equivalent of the know-it-all cousin who knows absolutely nothing yet he’s allowed to run around the family re-union with out being tackled, the once “Oh that’s funny” Chairman has became even more insulting.

The GOP believe that having what appears to be your “Black Friend” in charge some how absolves them from the sin of racism and exclusion that the party has been guilty of for so many years. The very reason why you claim you are above reproach on the topic of race is the same exact reason you are so culpable for the current racial tension between parties.

Michale Steele is an ASS. He has shown nothing higher than questionable judgement on the direction in which your party has taken and yet he’s still chairman. I think it’s pretty obvious that the GOP looks at him as some sort of magical amulet that makes it okay for you to continue stoking the fire of the Tea Party yet scream time and time again that you are not exclusionary.

I say all this to say Mr. Gingrich. Fuck you very much.
