That about says it…
Ann Coulter gets to the bottom of The Voyeur Club non-scandal.
Via HotAirPundit:
Ann Coulter on Michael Steele:
“I love him, I love him so much, and the reason he’s being attacked for all these silly things is because he so effective, he attacked for the same things Rush Limbaugh is, Ronald Reagan was, I am, Sarah Palin is, is because he’s so great, he is being held to a different standard because of his skin color, but not by Americans and not by Republicans, he’s being held to a different standard by Democrats because they’re trying to trick stupid Republicans into dumping the first black head of the RNC who is doing a magnificent job…
This was an utterly unfair attack. This tacky club out in LA. Not only was he not there he was on a plane at the time. Even if he looked at the receipts coming into the RNC, and he doesn’t some accountant does, how’s the accountant going to know what the Voyeur Club is?… And, to even to make an issue of this when the former co-chair of the DNC had a major fundraiser gala at the Democratic National Convention in 2000 at the Playboy Mansion… These are democratic representatives who actually went to a Playboy events and they’re trying to act like Michael Steele some low level person who’s been fired since then is a totally fake issue because he’s effective.”

I’m ok with him retaining his job. Obviously the RNC staff members in California which arranged this event (why haven’t we heard anything about them?) should lose thier jobs. Also, the person who paid the reciept for a club named “Voyeur,” should be warned but ultimately, Steele as the head, needs to accept responsbility and place more security in place to stop this from happening in the future.
We all know, if this was a DNC event, it would not only have been accepted, there would not have been a word in the media about it.

John McCain survived a very corrupt accounting scandal and was able to run for president without one person in the media mentioning the word ” Keating Five “. Michael Steele on the other hand gets lynched over a petty $2,000 mistake 3000 miles away by a staffer far down the food chain. There are only 2 things that distinguish Michael Steele from John McCain that can justify this rude disparity in treatment. Michael Steele is black. Michael Steele does not pretend and pose for fake conservatism. He is a genuine conservative of sound christian morals.

Steele is getting the Pope Benedict treatment. Hey, their both Catholic….

He is not that great, mind you. He has done several blunders like the one praising some ACORN nutjob.
Mitch commented:
Um, actually he’s being held to a different standard by Republicans “because he’s black,” as Coulter said.
Republicans and conservative bloggers are hyperventilating about him every day calling for him to be fired.
And that “person” in charge of the Family Research Council wants people to stop donating to the national RNC because of this.
So he’s also being held to a different standard because Republicans try to get religion mixed up with politics and don’t want anyone to do anything that they themselves don’t personally enjoy (i.e. no one should go to bondage clubs, since they don’t like bondage clubs).
DINORight commented:
Steele is getting railroaded, and I’m glad you’re writing about it. He is succeeding in raising funds even when typical donors are refusing to donate! And, as we all know, 3 elections going to Republicans on his tour of duty is significant. The liberal Democrats are the REAL racists, and the Republicans and Conservatives have played this game for years. Why do Repubs keep falling for this trick? Double-standards, report ONLY on Repub “scandals,” gin up “scandals” or “crises” and then call for resignations. No Dem in his/her right mind would resign for this – there have been under-age staffers molested and Dems didn’t resign!
Ms. Coulter is right. Steele is standing strong against a vice-like squeeze coming from Dems and Repubs both. Time to listen to Herman Cain again from his SRLC speech (and AGAIN, until the Repubs get it!!): stand together!! “Divide and conquer” is the standard Alinsky/Dem tactic in action. Stop this bickering and fault-finding and WORK TOGETHER to defeat the liberal statists!! Listen to Mr. Cain here: http://hotair.com/archives/2010/04/11/video-herman-cain-speech-to-the-srlc/
By the way, isn’t the Daily Caller, who “broke” this non-scandal “strip club” story, supposed to be a Conservative online news outlet? I truly wonder.

Keating Five
[After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined
in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings, with Cranston receiving a formal reprimand. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment".]

so where’s the Fannie Five, Ten, Fifteen, Twenty??

Mrs. Coulter shows the appropriate temperament, insight, leadership, etc., we wish some other Conservative Pundits maintained. She gets the big picture. The hyperbole about Steele is connected to the reactionary bias grown in a negative manner about the GOP, which is utterly unfair.
It is all related to the mindless equating of the two Parties. Thus, every little blip, mistake, imperfection is blown to absurd levels by some rabid Conservative Pundits – who have lost sight of a healthy perspective.
We watched this emotive hype grow to such a self destructive level after 2004, in the face of fears over Iraq, which actually helped empower Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Clinton. Some treated the anti-Republican bashing as if it was some tired social acceptance. Bashing Bush and the Republicans was simply played to gain attention and be considered ‘super conservative’. It was so lacking in objectivity, it was actually a sign of not being conservative.
Too many simply lacked strength and leadership in the face of overwhelming fashion. They proved weak and irresponsible and we all payed for it. Republicans are not perfect, but then nothing is, but we cannot continue to sink our best interests.

Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
I’d be a lot happier with Michael Steele as head of RNC if he’d take some leadership about party goals and governing principles, instead of mindlessly bad-mouthing the current government. In other words, give us something to vote FOR, not always against.
Yes, the NRSC and the NRCC are just as dumb, so I guess they all use the same dumb playbook. A shortsighted tactic at best.
DaMav commented:
Go get ‘em Ann!!
I don’t think Steele is great but I think the attacks on him are overblown. Deliberately, because the liberals in the media are doing their very best to drive a wedge into the ranks of Republicans. And some establishment Republicans are a little too eager to help.
Been saying that for the last year. It’s really satisfying to see someone like Ann Coulter speak up and nail it so effectively.

Wait a minute. Lemme get this straight.
The socially conservative right is now defending pedophile church leaders and – ahem – fundraisers at strip clubs which are sponsored by political leaders? Paid for by your donations to the political party?
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Debt is prosperity.
Depravity is chastity.
“I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by; I let them become defiled…”
So much fer that whole Bible thingy…
wanumba commented:
It’s so easy to be jerked around by the media. This is the bunch that broadcast “reports of cannibalism” in New Orleans – just hysterical and fundamentally horribly racist.
The media can’t report a simple story, and they propagandaize the rest. Everything PRO gushing for the Left, everything sinister shadowy for the Right.
SO, anything they say about Steele requires verification. It is in their interest to undermine, and they are actively doing just that, in any way they can.
As for grumbling about Steele’s initial stumbles – bad managers fire people who make mistakes, never giving them a chance to correct and improve, good managers work with their people. And Steele has been hit with the most cynical media trickery – decent people just don’t expect such behavior, but Steele is learning. The worst was Steele showing up IN GOOD FAITH to be interviewed and the network put on a idiot know-nothing rapper as the interviewer. Not the usual hosts, not a “journalist.” They went out of their way to set him up. Jaw-dropping for the depth of the insult. How does one predict what has never been done before?
Glad to hear voices defending Steele.

I have no objection with the club issue — to me it was OK to use the GOP Credic Card in an emergency — that was what it was — the person’s regular credit card had reached its limits.
I’m a republican for low taxes and common sense, not on cannot go out an enjoy oneselves — which is why the Demcratic party attacked Steele and the GOP calling them hypocrites.

100,000,000% more democrats are depophiles, statistics confirm. The Child rape sex websites, all over the internet are run by Democrats/ lefty-liberals and Bill Clinton fought to keep them open. I think he said you are not a patriot if you object to child raping. .
