Huckabee: Steele Can Attack Obama -- And Nobody Can Call Him A Racist
Mike Huckabee has some high praise for Michael Steele -- though it's not the most graceful acclaim ever given.
"I'm not sure anyone else could be as effective in challenging the Obama policies any more so than Michael," said Huckabee. The reason: "Well, I believe that that no one is gonna be able to use the racism charge."
Fun fact: Steele said last week Obama won with the help of the media -- who didn't vet him because he's black.

So what sort of policies does Steel support? Oh, that's right, only those submitted and approved by the GOP kingpins (limbaugh, Newt and Cheney). So I get it Huckabee is saying because Michael Steele is black (african american) that he can criticize Obama because he is also black (african american), not that Micheal Steels can criticize Obama on policy grounds because he actually has different policies in mind but because they share skin color.
Boy, that makes perfect sense, Mike.

WTF?!?! I find it disturbing that these guys are afraid of letting a racial slur slip while discussing a POLICY. They are attacking a POLICY not Obama personally, right? Maybe they should ask Frank Luntz about how to criticize his energy policy without pissing off the NAACP or Al Sharpton.

I guess it is hard. Just read that Huckabee called her Maria in his press release about the nomination. Don't mind confirming her real name, she's spanish so her name must be Maria.
