Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who has been harshly critical
of the The Sun, renewed his criticism this week by accusing the paper
of a "racist, ignorant attitude about African-American males." Steele,
who made the remark Thursday in an interview with a Washington radio
station, was responding to an editorial in that day's paper that was
critical of his speech before the Republican National Convention. The
editorial also rejected the accusation he and Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich
Jr. made that the Democratic Party is "racist" in its message to
blacks."I only have one thing to say to theBaltimore Sun. I apologize
so heartily and sincerely that I left the plantation and I refused to
come back. Sorry," Steele said in an interview on the Kojo Nnamdi show
on WAMU 88.5 FM. [more ]
Basically, the B- Sun is piece of GOP propoganda crap. If anything - this
paper has helped to facilitate the misinformation that Steele was
elected. He was not elected. The Lt. Governor position in MD is not an
elected position. Ehrlich used him as a campaign prop. It didn't work
as he received less than 10% of the Black vote more ]. Like Issac
(Pictured above) he's just happy to be in the room.
