It might have been a poor choice of words, but Steele's "I'm so hurt by this" reaction just makes me laugh. Anyone who has seen Steele on television, parroting the Republican talking points, could draw the same conclusion that Hoyer has.

See. "Honkey" is not bleeped out because of white superiority and supremacy. Only the blacks need coddling by the media.

[peterbaldwin-2009]

Believe it or not, you can't say "*********" anymore because it rhymes with ***. All this fuss over politically incorrect words is racist because it characterizes all blacks as weak and hypersensitive and allows "sensitive" whites to be "caring' on the cheap. Call a white guy a "honkey" and he will just laugh in your face because he is "strong" and "in charge" unlike weak blacks in need of protection by the all-powerful white man.

Please - Steele has been in the back pocket of bush for years and I'm sure Hoyer has used that term for every other Republican. Steele is trying to make this a race about race and it isn't except for the fact that Steele is the most bigoted "white" guy I've ever heard. God does he hate gay people - especially "gay white men" as he pointed out in the Baltimore Sun in July 2002.
