Steele plans an agressive PR push for his party.
(CNN) — Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says his party is going to launch an "off the hook" public relations campaign that will update the GOP’s image by translating it to "urban-suburban hip-hop settings."

The new GOP leader told the Washington Times that the party’s defeat in states such as North Carolina and Virginia made it clear they needed a new approach.

“We need messengers to really capture that region — young, Hispanic, black, a cross section…” he said in an interview published Thursday. “We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings.”

He added, jokingly, that “we need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets.”

Oh, yeah. It's still a pig no matter how you try to disguise it.

3. "we need messengers"? They will have to hire actors.

[rocktivity]

4. The Suge Knight-ization of the GOP!

And if Obama and the Dems don't push back, we'll push for them. Bring it on, and we'll bring it "right" back--HARDER!


rocktivity

[spanone]

bring it on

[monmouth]

5. O.M.G. I swear, I thought it was from the Onion. Mr. Steele,

Honey, you are a mess! And I say this with all due...bwahahaha....respect...bwahahaha...

[eShirl]

6. any Hollywood comedy writers taking notes?

[rocktivity]

7. There's nothing WRONG with standing on your principles

unless you're standing on quicksand.

8. and the "one-armed midgets" quip was a special touch. What a loser. nt

[EstimatedProphet]

9. Oh, I can't wait for the commercials.

Flava Flav with a big elephant-shaped clock around his neck,

"RNC in da House (and da Senate!)
RNC in da House (and da Senate!)
Yo yo!"

[Ganja Ninja]

10. Con's from the hood?

Word to your mother!

[gratuitous]

11. Oh, thank you Mr. Steele!

I soooo look forward to another rendition of "Who Let the Dogs Out" from MC Master Jam Funk Hip-Hop Notorious Phresh Tupac DJ Jazzy Mitt Romney.

And let me just add, "For shizzle."

[Bonhomme Richard]

12. A real financial boon to minority actors. n/t

[damntexdem]

13. Look for loads more copyright infringement.

GOPers stand on principles such as using others' songs without permission.

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

14. That's tight, dawg.

I can already see the horribly misguided and implicitly racist ads that will come from this campaign. "Privatized social security? I'd hit that."

[merh]

15. Does he really think the "powers that be" in the party will allow this?

He had best not fly on small planes or travel alone.

[DCKit]

17. Not to mention how the base is going to react.

This is going to be way too much fun to watch.

[merh]

22. The base will be irate

the ones that will not let this happen are the old party members, the ones that hated FDR and all those who wanted to bridge the classes, who wanted to create a middle class - and then there are the ones that left the dems because of segregation, they still have no problem with a black person who knows their place in this world and it isn't at the table.

[MineralMan]

16. "we need to uptick our image with everyone"

I think you need to upstick your image where the sun don't shine.

Thank you for your cooperation.

18. "Off the hook" campaign and "hip-hop" makeover?

Geez.

Sorry, but isn't Michael Steele beginning to sound like Carlton Banks from "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" ?

[Johonny]

19. TDS predicted this like 1 month ago with Reagraham Lincool

skit. The RNC has no new ideas so they'll just repackage the same crap in a new box.

[rocktivity]

23. In case you missed it

20. Wow...I really encourage him to go off and talk to young black

males using terms like "off the hook" and see how it goes. I know my boys would love to speak to his dumb ass. Go on down to Tuskegee University and see how my son and his buddies receive that message you dumb fuck. Nice to know one armed midgets are included in his get the vote program.

What a stupid idiot.

[backscatter712]

21. He needs to bring Mitt Romney in on his efforts...
