You’re wrong to say the media crowned Rush king of the Republicans. The media couldn’t just say “Limbaugh is the king Republican” and then have Michael Steele yield to him. Boss Hog had to have gained power on his own earlier for that to happen. And Limbaugh has been a person of influence on the American right for ages.
Not to mention that Steele was essentially a figurehead anyway, with the Republicans picking a black man to try to remains current after Obama’s election. Of course their malice towards Hispanics in the wake of the Sotomayor nomination has completely under-cut their “racial equality” facade. Steele was like the token Black kid in an overly PC 80s cartoon: powerless, pointless, and present only for appearance’s sake.

If you think that the Republicans need to have a black man to remain current, please!!! The best thing for the Republicans at this point would be to start acting like the conservatives that make up a large part of their party. Conservatism wins every time it is tried. Wonder why the “right” in this country has such a perceived hate toward those not like them? Maybe there is no hate toward anyone and it is just seen that way because the right in this country knows that a person can succeed on their own merits regardless of what skin color or nationality you happen to be. Lastly, I have come to the conclusion that some folks in this great country just seem to live their lives on a daily basis in hopes of being able to act as if they are offended by the things they see and hear. GROW UP AMERICA!!!
