<p>The Young Republicans convention was held in Indianapolis last weekend and their <a href=”http://indiana.bilerico.com/2009/07/young_republicans_elect_racist_middle-ag.php”>election of a racist, middle-aged woman as President</a> isn’t the only controversial item to come out of the GOP gathering.</p> <p>Local Republican blog <a href=”http://hoosieraccess.com/blog/2009/07/13/more-from-michael-steele-meeting-with-bloggers/”>Hoosier Access</a> 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 <em>(or as I like to call him, the Republican Joe Biden!)</em> answers a question from <a href=”http://www.milehive.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=585&Itemid=232″>a gay person of color</a> in this clip about the GOP’s diversity outreach.</p> <p>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?</p>
