The Border State expert spotter of Token Blacks slavishly supporting the Party of the Great Emancipator defeated Okinawa's Secretary of Temporary Housing to become the Majority Leader of the Party of Post-Segregation Race-Based Legislation this week, as GOP "leaders" prepared to call for the Un-Blue Crab's resignation should he ever praise a dying former Dixiecrat.
OK, I made the last part up.
But, I haven't been able to find ONE elected Republican who thinks that it is inappropriate for Steny Hoyer to serve as a House leader despite his not one, but two racist comments denigrating Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who is Black.
The Caucasian Hoyer, who called Steele a "token" in 2002, described him as "slavishly supporting the GOP" when campaigning for his White opponent during October.

But its worse than "just that."
See Malkin excerpt from before the Election:
Hoyer didn't just innocently use the word in ordinary conversation. He employed it during a comedy routine in front of a crowd of mostly black business owners:
[Democrat Senate candidate Ben] Cardin, a dry and detailed-oriented career legislator, was upstaged at his Upper Marlboro event Sunday by the irrepressible Rep. Steny Hoyer, who did a comedy routine about the event’s host, Cool Wave Water, and told the audience that Steele had had “a career of slavishly supporting the Republican Party.”
Why would it be funny if not for the sneering, racist implications? Hoyer is the number two Democrat in Congress. He knew what he was doing: pandering. Hoyer now claims disingenuously that no insult was intended. Bull. In the past, Hoyer has derided Steele as a "token." Black Democrats in Maryland have no problem with smearing Steele as an "Uncle Tom."

Why doesn't the GOP, a party founded for the purpose of abolishing slavery, denounce Hoyer and demand he step down like they did Lott, if for no other reason than to to defend their own candidate? A white Democrat directs racial slurs at a Black Republican and the GOP is silent.
The GOP is usually silent when a spine is required. Silence. the sound of a content minority.
What must a white democrat do or say to Blacks before the GOP would take notice? Use the "N" word in public? Throw an Oreo cookie at them?
I doubt even that would move them. After all, Steny is their honorable friend. And he's a "reasonable" man. A guy they can deal with. Not like that Murtha character.
I have found no evidence that Murtha has ever denigrated black people. I guess Steny will tell better jokes in conference committees.
Does the GOP have ONE man with courage? Because if we do, you know...
"One man with courage makes a majority." - Andrew Jackson

A civil/criminal trial lawyer for two decades in federal and state courts throughout the South and presently Vice-President of a multi-state real estate investment firm headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., Mike DeVine a/k/a Gamecock was a SC Democrat party activist, official and delegate for 20 years, until his June 2001 conservative epiphany that led him to leave the Jack Asses of the World's Oldest political party to embrace the Elephants' never forget Party of Lincoln and Ronaldus Magnus.
