Rep. Steny Hoyer Apologizes to Michael Steele for 'Slave' Remark

A ranking House Democrat has apologized for saying that African-American Senate candidate Michael Steele has "slavishly” supported the Republican Party.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland said he meant no offense when he made the remark on Sunday at a campaign event for Rep. Ben Cardin, the Democrat who is running against Lt. Gov. Steele for the Senate seat in Maryland.
"I shouldn’t have used those words,” Hoyer said Tuesday through a spokesman.
"If Mr. Steele did in fact take offense, let me assure him that none was intended.”
Steele’s spokesman Doug Heye called Hoyer’s comment "insensitive and pretty stupid.”
And the Washington Post reported that Steele himself referred to "the sheer craziness of some in the Democratic Party who think they can use racist terms and infer things about me just because I’m an African-American Republican.”
Spokesman Heye told CNN that in 2002, Hoyer referred to Steele as a "token” candidate, although Hoyer said at the time that he was quoted out of context.

I wonder how hard this story hits the networks.

What do you expect from the party that fought for slavery? How about the dumbass with the Hindu comment? Who was it, some NJ idiot, right?

"You can't go into any 7-11 withour putting on an Indian accent..."

What a meathead

That was Joe Biden, running for President soon.

 

[fossten]

Joe Biden does it again...

Apparently ol' Joe doesn't think all black people are clean, since he distinguishes Osama Obama for being bright and clean.

Biden is amazing- and the way he is treated by his party and the media provide a stark demonstration as to how differently Democrats are treaty by their parties and the media.

Biden had a history of being plagiarism, stupid comments, and veiled racists statements. But the press tends to look the other way and the DNC protects him.

He's high profile, he's run for President in the past and is doing so now. If an equally prominent Republican made similar statements or did similiar things, he would be abandoned by the Republican party (in an effort to either hold the moral high ground or win the favor of the liberal press) and the media would have a field day and call for his head.

None of this happens with Biden, time after time after time.

Biden is finished from what I can see. He's taking a beating from most of the liberal web sites that I've seen, and it's getting plenty of press in the MSM.

He's not finished. He still Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. As for his Presidential campaign, I doubt this comment will have any bearing on it.

As for the "press" picking up the story, let's check back on this story in about two weeks and see if they are still picking apart his bones. If every story regarding Biden, no matter how unrelated, will reflect upon this most recent comment.

If there's any buzz left to this story by night fall, I'll be surprised.


None of that would be the case had it been a Republican. As Fossten just reminded us, MACACA.

 

[JohnnyBz00LS]

Yeah, right. Like the fact that the "macaca" comment was intended to be derogatory directed towards the person being addressed, while the "clean and articulate" comment was intended to be complimentary towards the person being addressed has NOTHING to do with that.

I love how you RWWs rationalize your positions to maintain that level of disillusionment of superiority. What a joke.

Speaking of disillusionment, could you spin a little faster to defend Biden. Need I remind you, this is the same guy who recently said that you couldn't go into a convenience store unless you had an Indian accent. Interestingly enough, I don't hear the MSM referring to that past story when mentioning this one. Or his notable examples of plaguerism.

Again, I don't think these stories are a big deal, by themself. I think this tabloid, gotcha mentality of politics and the media is very destructive. I don't think that his use of "clean" is racist and I sure as hell don't think "macaca" was racist either. I don't think George Allen was smart enough to have though of it in a racist way.

But I do take issue with the gross double standard in the media. Remember Trent Lott, he made a silly comment to make an old man feel good at his birthday and he was considered a racist, dragged through the mud, lost his position of power within the party, and publicly labeled a racist. George Allen too, his stupid silly word likely cost him the election.

But Biden, high profile, ranking Democrat, he gets a pass. A few moments of shock and then the story quickly falls to the back. Why? Two reasons - One,the public really doesn't care. Second, the MEDIA is responsible for perpetuating these stories. If the press don't push a story like this, the public won't care and it'll go away. The problem is, they selectively chose which stories to run, and they clearly do so on ideological grounds.

Did Biden ever have a noose and confederate flag hanging in his office? Did Biden ever back a segregationist in his political past?

 

[fossten]

Agreed.



Did Biden ever have a noose and confederate flag hanging in his office? Did Biden ever back a segregationist in his political past?

Was Trent Lott's father a segregationist? (Al Gore)

What about Robert (KKK) Byrd, chairman of a prestigious committee in the Senate? Don't hear anything about his "n!gger" comments.

 

[Calabrio]

Did Biden ever have a noose and confederate flag hanging in his office? Did Biden ever back a segregationist in his political past?

Are you implying the Trent Lott has a noose and confederate flag hanging in his office? I am not aware of this claim and a quick Google search failed to return any results confirming it either. And regardless what the noose reference is, why is a noose necessarily racist? It's also a visual used in the old West referencing a "hanging judge."

And, as Fossten just mentioned, as for backing a segregationist- did you forget about Robert Byrd, formed Grand Dragon of the KKK, but now the elder statesman and "soul of the Democrat Party?"

But I'm not understanding your reply, the implication is that this double standard is acceptable because it's appropriate in your mind? Are you simply perpetuating that false myth that conservatives are racist and liberals are tolerant? You're not denying the double standard, so you must then be in favor of it. How is that acceptable?

 

[Calabrio]

To clarify- you're not commenting on Lott, you were commenting on George Allen. But in the previous paragraph you agreed, Allen was too stupid to use a word like Macaca as an racist insult.

And, just like I mentioned the hangman's noose, apparently Allen associated the that lasso noose to his faux cowboy self-image.

So, I'm still failing to see how that justifies the medias disproportionate coverage of macaca, while it will dismiss any of the idiotic statements made by Democrats.

 

[fossten]

Wow. The silence is deafening.

 

[Calabrio]

Wow. The silence is deafening.

It's also silent in the media- not a word of outrage regarding Biden's comment. Though NBC news did turn to Biden for some particular nonsensical, though sinister sounding criticism of President Bush tonight.

Controversy over. One media cycle.

Ma-caca.

Of course Barack is 'clean'. He uses Afro-Sheen!

Wiping off my brand new LCD monitor now, thanks a lot Bryan!

By the way, I submit that J.C. Watts is clean, articulate, and intelligent. What a storybook, eh? I guess Biden missed that one in his fact checking.

So, I'm still failing to see how that justifies the medias disproportionate coverage of macaca, while it will dismiss any of the idiotic statements made by Democrats.

All I'm saying is, from what each person mentioned SAID and DID and how they behave overall, Biden by far has the "least racist tendancies" of the bunch. AND his comments were taken way out of context, they were INTENDED to be a compliment, Allen's was NOT. And BTW, I did not intend to agree with the "Allen was too stupid to use a word like Macaca as an racist insult" part, I just mis-clipped the quote.

And for the record, Robert Byrd is NOT the "soul of the Democratic party" no matter how much YOU THINK and WISH he is. He and David Duke can both take a long hike off a short plank as far as I'm concerned.

Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle. Now you are giving ground, admitting that Biden has racist tendencies, but maybe not as bad as Lott? So you're including their overall behavior in this mix?

Great, let's do that.

Biden is a plagiarist and he's made at least one other racist comment in the very recent past. George Allen made one comment that was blown out of proportion. In fact, the media didn't even know macaca was a slur until they looked it up, so the guy he said it to had to wait a while before he could be offended. LOL that is so absurd. And Trent Lott's comment was so blown out of proportion, considering he's NEVER said anything racist before, and his comment was INTERPRETED, as opposed to being blatantly racist like Biden's.

How do you blow "...can't enter a seven eleven without having a slight Indian accent..." out of proportion?

Either way, the media has CHOSEN not to mess with Biden, because they like Democrats and liberals. You CANNOT deny that. It is a double standard.
