Sadly this is NOT satire The Young Republicans convention was held in Indianapolis last weekend and their election of a racist, middle-aged woman as President <http://indiana.bilerico.com/2009/07/young_republicans_elect_racist_middle-a g.php> isn't the only controversial item to come out of the GOP gathering. Local Republican blog Hoosier Access <http://hoosieraccess.com/blog/2009/07/13/more-from-michael-steele-meeting-w ith-bloggers/> was able to get RNC Chairman Michael Steele to sit down with a group of bloggers and they taped the conversation. The old gaffe-o-matic (or as I like to call him, the Republican Joe Biden!) answers a question from a gay person of color <http://www.milehive.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=585&Itemi d=232> in this clip about the GOP's diversity outreach.
Yes, that's right. To lure African-Americans into the GOP, Steele is offering "fried chicken and potato salad." Since he mentions Republicans should also be reaching out to the LGBT community, I wonder what stereotype he's going to offer us? Buttplugs and Birkenstocks?
