Democratic Dirty Tricks Target Black Politician

Democratic dirty tricks adn law breaking have targeted a prominent black politician in Maryland. In a blatant attempt to keep an Afrcan American of prominence and intellect from challenging the Democrats opening seat in the Senate, Democratic operatives have illegally obtained the credit report of Michael Steele. There is no proper purpose for such conduct other than to keep an African American off of the ballot in the upcoming Senate election in favor of the Democratic Party's annointed candidate.
We don't yet know who the candidates will be in Maryland's Senate race next year. But we may already have had the first crime committed in the race to replace retiring Democrat Sen. Paul Sarbanes. The FBI is investigating how two operatives at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee obtained a copy of Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele's credit report. If any laws were broken, charges will soon follow. The dirt is clearly piling up for this campaign.
Michael Steele is a prominent Marland lawyer and African American. he is currently the Lt. Govenor of Maryland. He is intelligent, well spoken and has long been an advocate of racial equality and opportunity. As Lt. Governor, Michael Steele plays a significant role in preserving and promoting Maryland's five Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU): Coppin State College, Morgan State University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Bowie State University and Sojourner-Douglass College. He has advocated for Maryland's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) to receive unprecedented funding in Maryland's fiscal year 2005 budget. Maryland's HBCU's are slated to receive an ADDITIONAL $68 million, thanks to Micheal's Steele's efforts.
Yesterday the Washington Post named two Democratic staffers who are the likely culprits: Katie Barge and Lauren Weiner. Both have since resigned and the two are reportedly cooperating with the FBI investigation. Ms. Barge was the research director for the campaign committee and Ms. Weiner was working on "opposition research" on Mr. Steele. Mr. Steele's credit report was likely obtained using his Social Security number, which was itself obtained from court documents. A Democratic spokesman said a supervisor quickly secured the credit report and ensured it was not disseminated.
We'll see if that's true in the coming months. At least the criminal investigation may take away the one area where Democrats have long planned to "find" mud to sling at Mr. Steele. In any case, should he formally announce for Mr. Sarbanes' seat (as expected), raising money won't be a problem. Even with his credit report floating around in political circles, Mr. Steele remains one of the best candidates for the Senate seat next year.
Please write to the Democratic party and tell them that you are outraged at such conduct. This behavior is demeaning to all Democrats and Progressives.
Democratic Party = Racist Party

I have noticed this in America. There is scant lip service paid to the cause or racial equality by the very same political coalitions that profess to work for the minority populations, are the same that advicate policies that maintain the status quo and limit opportunity for true advancement. I have heard Michael Steele speak to minority audiences and he is the future. His politics and message is one of hope, opportunity and self-respect. The Democratic Party has a message of entitlement, dependence and disadvantage.
It is shameful but not out of character for ardent efforts to be undertaken to keep a bright African American male from taking a Senate seat. The Democratic stronghold on the modern political plantation is at risk. He obviously does not serve the same overseer that pays the wages of the likes of Jesse Jackson, Obama Barack and the rest of the Democratic Black Delegation.

That's is outrageous. It is a total invasion of privacy. It is the sort of thing that we would expect from the Bush Crime Family. We can't be getting upset with the Repukicans doing this stuff if we are going to be doing it.
Write to the Maryland Democratic Committee and express your disappointment:
Maryland Democratic Party
188 Main Street Suite 1 · Annapolis, MD 21401
410-269-8818 (voice) · 410-280-8882 (fax) · webdem@mddems.org
This sort of thing is ridiculous.

Better keep that uppity black down on the plantation of Hillary, Teddy and Chuckie Rangel. Teach him to say Yes Massa on our command and show up to vote midlessly for the Demorcats.

Michael Steele is running for the U.S Senate representing the state of Maryland. Then why has he gone out of state to campagn. His loyalties should be to the people of Maryland not to out of state people.
