The Politico nabbed a major scoop by obtaining a memo that was left behind by the RNC which mocks their donor base and exposes how they plan to run against President Obama in the upcoming election.
The Republican National Committee plans to raise money this election cycle through an aggressive campaign capitalizing on “fear” of President Barack Obama and a promise to "save the country from trending toward socialism."
The strategy was detailed in a confidential party fundraising presentation, obtained by POLITICO, which also outlines how “ego-driven” wealthy donors can be tapped with offers of access and “tchochkes.”
The presentation was delivered by RNC Finance Director Rob Bickhart to top donors and fundraisers at a party retreat in Boca Grande, Florida on February 18, a source at the gathering said.
In neat PowerPoint pages, it lifts the curtain on the often-cynical terms of political marketing, displaying an air of disdain for the party’s donors that is usually confined to the barroom conversations of political operatives.
The presentation explains the Republican fundraising in simple terms.
"What can you sell when you do not have the White House, the House, or the Senate...?" it asks.
The answer: "Save the country from trending toward Socialism!”
Michael Steele went on Fox News with Megyn Kelly and was forced to answer for their hateful tactics. He tried his best to downplay it, but once again Steele looks like a buffoon and the RNC looks even worse for adopting many of the radical beliefs that the Tea Party crowd used throughout the health-care debate. Steele tried to say the images just came off the Web, but these images came from teabagger signs for the most part.
or is that token, i cant remember.
What a sell out Steele is.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
He said Repuke donors are compassionate and concerned, yea but only about themselves. These people are dangerous to this Democracy and our freedoms.

Or does he really think he's in charge of the Repugs?
are not themselves racial memes?

that this is the tactic they've been using already. They will try to lie and lie about the facts. Republican voters if you don't know that you've been played for suckers by now, when will you? They are using scare tactics and you are falling for it. Remember all the money you spent on guns and ammo becausse they told you that Obama is going to take away your guns? Maybe, just maybe that money could have been used to help pay the the monthly premium on your family's health care insurance. You've got to see by now how phoney they are.
to protect your families from terrorist attacks? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice--I'm an idiot.
That's my new spring wardrobe, and it's what's for dinner.

These folks are very easly led.However they are also driven by their own prejudices which are deeply rooted and entrenched.This makes them an ideal target for the republicans who will stop at nothing to sabotage Presisent Obama.Even if means taking the country down.They DON'T CARE.And they are blatant about it they don't hide their intentions.The dummies continue to support them. Man, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face, these knuckleheads take the cake.
Their supporters will forget all about this and continue to support the very people who despise them.

they just grabbed stuff off the net and put into your presentation. You are a liar.

If Michael was to use one of the colorful phrases of his un-republican community he would say "I A'int Playin" in response to the accusations of his "playing dumb".

What she did yesterday is what she does daily.
Mr Steele seems quite upset and defensive, doesn't he?
As well as the teabaggers but I look for the RNC to start walking back Steele's comments and trying to persuade smaller donors that this is a plot by the liberal media to discredit the RNC. The FAUX "News" viewing crowd will believe that.
Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine
are taking this presentation "Out of Context". That's their usual story.
... they're laughing AT you.
How many flavors of stupid do you have to be to sit there and make excuses for not only the teabaggers, but the GOP faithful who think you're their fucking houseboy?
Since you're so hip on the cool slang, here's one for you: EPIC FAIL.
Megyn Kelly was quite severe with Mr. Steele about his evasions. This was unlike Fox's usual creampuffing of Republican operatives. My God, she was actually demanding answers. Was the official mouthpiece of the Republican party telling Mr. Steele that his walking papers have been prepared?
Is that they elected Steele because he was a black guy and that's all. They thought that he was their answer to Obama and though Obama deserves criticism at times. Michael Steele wouldn't make a mole on Obama's ass, to use a regional colloquialism. Steele may be the RNC's token but Barack H Obama has never, ever been the token black guy of anything.
Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine
The anti-Dem stuff seemed pretty tame by GOPer standards. The stuff mocking their own donors is way more damning -- although it's likely a lot of those being mocked will be too dense to catch on.
Michael Steele is Sarah Palin with a slightly broader vocabulary.
More broad than hers?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
This is an organized tactic by the entire RNC! Not a mistake! As a 60 year old republican I MUST say: THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS DEAD! They do nothing with leadership. Their,ugly,"cute" RACIST ATTITUDE is their infection. Now, even their women are sluts. Michael Steele is a paid" Magic Negro Puppet" by the CRACKER( and is without pride or substance).You can hear the fear in the negroes voice. You can see it in his eyes. Michael Steele is a lying Tom! And because there is a GOD in heaven, these racist bastards will never lead America again. I QUIT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! THE KU KLUX KLAN/NAZI PARTY HAS TAKEN THEM OVER.
The RNC is doomed and they did it to themselves. Start the Fires to rid the planet of this disease. Christ has left them in their empty vessels. Gods new wine made their vessels break! Good riddence Rnc!
It's about time republicans quit proving they are right.
"...THE KU KLUX KLAN/NAZI PARTY HAS TAKEN THEM OVER..."
This is what happens when a political group thinks they can control violent hate-groups, and use them to achieve their political goals. The Hate Groups take over, and the party is destroyed. I HOPE.
The Repubes ran out of constructive ideas decades ago, and started courting the Fear&Haters to conceal-while-assisting their (Repubes) destructive agenda.
Now the "lady" (Repubes) are Inside the Tiger.

He's a tea party attendee?
Blond FUX Anchor: The RNC has unfortunately put up some cartoons and images making fun of Democrats that are too blatant for even our channel to spin in our favor. Check it out. Here to discuss this sad state of affairs, is the leader of the RNC, Mr. "What Up?" Michael Steele. Michael, thanks for being here with us.
What Up? Oh, uh, hey blond lady. You know, this is the first time we're together, so it's good to see you again. What up?
Blond FUX Anchor: Wait what? If we've never been together, how could it be good to see me again?
What Up? Huh?
Blond FUX Anchor: Never mind. Dude, Michael, what the hell's going on here? You're supposed to be attacking them unfairly, but not so obviously. I'd like to spin you out of this hole, but I don't know what I can do at this point. So, seriously, what up? How are you going to defend this?
What Up? You don't. I can't. I dunno. The images suck. Whatever. Bleah.
Blond FUX Anchor: Is someone going to be disciplined or fired?
What up? Are those my only two choices?
Blond FUX Anchor: Uh . . . can I ask who's responsible for taking care of this?
What Up? I have asked our finest director to get to the bottom of this.
Blond FUX Anchor: Yeah? Who?
What Up? Oh, for crying out loud, blond lady, can we not talk about this like it's a serious issue like health care? Jeez! Some little shit pulled some images off the web, and put used them for our fundraiser, trying to be funny. Do you have any idea how exhausting it is trying to babysit Republicans? I haven't slept since I landed this shitty job! I mean, just last week, one of my own employees tried to hack into my bank account and steal all my money. He thought that would be funny too, since my name is Steele. But look, we're the GOP. We're evil. We're not always clever about it, and this just doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things.
Blond FUX Anchor: Well, I still have to press you to find out who's going to be in charge of dealing with this.
What Up? How the fuck should I know?
Blond FUX Anchor: Good god, Michael! Who's running things over there?
What Up? Christ, I don't know, okay? We'll deal with this minor thing internally. Someone will come up to me, and say they're going to do something about it. It'll be fine. Stop worrying. I'm too tired for this.
Blond FUX Anchor: Understood. Lemme just get to a couple more things, okay?
What Up? Whatever.
Blond FUX Anchor: See, we're kinda in trouble here, since the Democrats are saying that this is proof that the GOP is as evil as we know we are.
What Up? Heh. Ha! Ha! Hee hee! Hoo hoo! Hoo-boy! Oh, wow. Funny. Who was that that said that?
Blond FUX Anchor: Brad Woodhouse.
What Up? Who?
Blond FUX Anchor: The DNC Spokesman.
What Up? Yeah? Well where was Brad Woodhouse when bad things were happening to me at the hands of his party members? Ever think of that? So, nanny nanny boo boo to Brad Woodhouse!!
Blond FUX Anchor: Well, Michael, we thank you for your time.
What Up? Thank you! And down with Obama trying to ram health care down our throats!
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
not one image of him during his election run showed him as a uncle tom or sambo
the image, created by blogger steve gilliard, portrayed steele in blackface
remember what o'brian told winston, the object of power is power.
michael steele obviously has decided that race means nothing to him, which is his choice, how else could he ignore the obvious insult of putting obama in whiteface. i know they say it was inspired by the joker, but i ain't buyin'.
i really am at a loss as to the psychology of these people, i think some of them believe they are saving the country from godless communism, but i think the majority of them are just on a power trip, pure and simple.

From: Nation Republican Congressional Committee
Sincerely... Pete Sessions, Chairman, NRCC
In part...
"If they take them [Congressional seats] back, this is the end of the road for what Barack and I are trying to do. "— Vice President Joe Biden
I'm sharing this information with you because as a long-time Republican activist, you've done a lot for our principles and our Party over the years. As a GOP leader and a patriot, you have a lot at stake in the outcome of this year's elections.
But please keep in mind that your copy of our Campaign Battle Plan is CONFIDENTIAL - it is intended "for your eyes-only" so please take care to not leave it lying around for others to see it.
In fact, I'm going to ask you for a special favor: After you've read this confidential proposal, please return it in the postage paid envelope I've provided. ;)
Study the symptoms not the virus...
So please take just a few minutes of your time today to go over our Campaign Battle Plan — you've been involved in politics for a long time, so I am anxious to get your support for this sweeping proposal to elect a new Republican House Majority that will bring real resistance
Study the symptoms not the virus...
The National Republican Congressional Committee is the only organization in America solely dedicated to sending Nancy Pelosi 's Democrats back to the minority where they belong, and as NRCC Chairman I am putting every ounce of energy I have into making it happen.
But I need your help. I need your wise counsel to help guide our strategy during the months ahead. And we need your financial generosity if we have any chance of keeping pace with the Democrats — the trial lawyers, Big Labor bosses, radical environmentalists, and Hollywood leftists continue to shower Democrat candidates with cash .. .
... while at the same time, the American people are getting increasingly outraged at what President Obama and Speaker Pelosi are trying to do to our country:
Study the symptoms not the virus...
X Disastrous economic policies that have skyrocketed the national debt and destroyed countless jobs.
X The largest expansion of the size and power of the federal government since FDR's "New Deal."
X Coddling anti-American dictators like Hugo Chavez and launching a witch-hunt against our own CIA officers who've risked their lives to keep us safe.
X A series of pathetic scandals from allegations of corruption, to tax evasion, and the Democratic Party's alliance with the left-wing criminal enterprise A.C.O.R.N. group.
It's clear liberalism has run amok in Washington, and it needs to be derailed as soon as possible before the Democrats do irreversible damage.
And the best way to stop them is to elect a new House GOP Majority, give the Speaker's gavel to Congressman Boehner, and force President Obama to abandon the budget-busting, taxand-spend leftist agenda he's using to (in his words) "remake America."
That's why it is so important for you to sign off on our Campaign Battle Plan and return it with your critical gift of $25, $40, $80, $160, $320 or even $720 to the NRCC.
They're desperate! :P

party...then i see no problem in again putting him in blackface

for he is nothing than a bad minstrel show performer
Democratic offensive, that justifies putting him in blackface? Why?
So white Republicans do it all the time. Does that justify putting them in blackface too?
If Democrat vs. Democratic is offensive, what about Rethuglican Party
instead of Republican? Offensive? Not? More offensive. Less?n
“Why would anyone with a functioning brain believe this guy?”

the democrats always call them 'republicans,' the name they chose. The Democratic Party is properly referred to as such, all Thugs know it, and choose to use a misnomer to describe same.
I've only heard Grayson refer to it as the 'republic party'
me-oww!
the Repubican? Repubes for short.
It describes what they are, what they do, and how they treat others less fortunate or weaker than they are.
me-oww!
but not OK for a Republican to call the Democratic Party the Democrat Party? Is that the consensus here?
And using a racist stereotype to deptict Mr. Steele for his offense in dropping the two letter suffix in Democratic is also justified?

Senators, Reps, party officials. It that a hard concept to grasp? The hoi polloi are free to do whatever. But the assholes at the top should show some respect for one another. Lead by example. Maybe if they quit with the assinine 3rd grade style name calling, those of us with no power might follow that lead.
I didn't realise I had to be so goddamn literal for you to understand, ricky.
me-oww!
All I asked was whether Walt found Steele's dropping the suffix on Democratic so offensive it justifies using a racist stereotype. Thus far I have no answer to that.
“Why would anyone with a functioning brain believe this guy?”
Some guy with an eating disorder
well you attached it to my comment. wtf am I supposed to think? And how is the person you are actually directing the comment to know that it's meant for him/her?
me-oww!
to Walt without actually answering it. I figured you were comfortable joining the discussion so I asked it again. And I think I have asked it a third time. I still have no answer. Walt may be long gone. You may not want to answer. You may be gone too. My son needed some homework assistance so I have been gone. All that is fine. The question remains and I think people understand why I am asking it.

Chill Ricky my brother. Steele don't need no cracker Democrats messin with him. He makes his own news. Check this story out from Nov. 15, 2005. Steele Make up Story:
According to numerous reports in the Washington Times, Steele was “pelted” with Oreo cookies, which signifies a racial slur for being black on the outside and white on the inside.
Times reporter S.A. Miller is one of the writers who referenced the incident in news articles on more than one occasion. Miller told WTOP he attended the event in 2002 and saw Steele get hit with cookies.
When pressed, Miller said he couldn’t swear in court that Steele did get hit with cookies because he didn’t actually see it happen.
On Tuesday, Steele told WTOP that he was never hit with Oreos and said the incident has been exaggerated.
stuff up. Politicans do it all the time. Steele makes stuff up and then makes new stuff up that contracdicts it within very short periods of time
“Why would anyone with a functioning brain believe this guy?”

Like the time they tarred and feathered Mr Steele, and drug him for miles and miles over Texas scub land behind a horse named Boo. Where was the DNC when that took place?
It never happened you say? That's besides the point. Therefore my point still stands.
Bruce C Johnson
Or a dog named "Blue"?
Honestly, this moron is totally being used by the RNC....and he doesn't get it. If his skin color was as white as the bimbo's he would NEVER be head of that monster.
This is just sad...but then again, aren't they all?
Well its not hard to do to think Steele is stupid. That is the typical republican. I don't know. What? Where? When? How? You betcha. Sorry folks am so re******
Southern Yankee
They’re not done yet. The RNC still has some time left.
But they’re not grazing out in the field. They are no longer lined up for slaughter. They are basting in the oven and the timer is just about to go off. COOKED!
I wonder what is being served in the 2nd course?
I'm telling you the entire party is made up of nothing but bigots, homophobes, religious zealouts, crooks, and just plain old fucking nutcases! Need any more proof.
You say that like its a bad thing?

Even though my side of the political spectrum is generally considered the left, and are generally considered to be "liberals", while the right calls itself "conservative" I have never quite accepted those designations.
I think that environmentalists are conservatives. They are working to conserve the biosphere that our existence depends on.
I think that social progressives who are working to build a more just, stable and sustainable society are conservatives, conserving a viable society.

As for the Republicans and assorted right wingers who call themselves conservatives, I have long thought that they are not conservatives at all, they are just reactionaries. They don't know what they want to conserve. Their motivations are fear and ignorance.
Today, RNC fund raisers confirmed my opinion. They themselves described their own donors as reactionaries.
From now on, feel free to call them reactionaries whenever they make claims to be conservatives. Ask them what they are conserving.

hate you and think you're nothing but a tool to be used for their gain...regardless of your socio-economic status.

And Rove with his pile of garbage he dumped on the market today just make sit worse and VERIFIES what they think about their money folks..
These folks could sure do a lot better than this but I guess when Chimpy GAVE you a billion or two it really doesn't matter....

That shouldn't be too damn difficult.
You can't spin your way out of this mistake
The Republicans peddle fear. That's all they have. They've learned how to exploit the ignorant right wing rubes. They did it with the conservative Christians to get Bush elected, and who now know they were used Since the GOP clearly can't go back to that well, they're turning their sights on another group of ignorant rubes, ie, the Tea Party crowd.
Isn't the term "black republican an oxymoron?
Imagine an old,rich,white,male racist drowning in a political ocean and that person is going down for the third and last time! These people are frightened to death because they know the white majority is soon(very soon)to be a thing of the past, never to return,EVER and they also know they can't do one damn thing about it and I hope after Obama has served his 2 terms, the next president will be a woman of color! The repukes will be committing mass suicides by jumping off very high buildings! Tee Hee, Tee Hee!
He's black. He's a republican. It's not an act; he couldn't think his way out of a paper bag.
