Michael Steele Drops the Ball on CNN

GOP chairman Michael Steele was a guest on CNN’s “D.L. Hughley Breaks the News” last night. Here’s the takeaway:

• Steele does an admirable job for most of the interview. He made most of his points to a skeptical audience without watering down the message.
• However, he completely drops the ball by failing to challenge Hughley and Chuck D on some of their more hateful comments – comparing the GOP Convention to Nazi Germany and generally mocking Rush Limbaugh. It was cringe-inducing:

I think Steele was simply trying to sidestep the most incendiary comments, choosing to focus on his talking points – he set the agenda and controlled the interview to a large extent. In that respect, he did a solid job (watch the entire interview below for some perspective). But in the end, the only thing the MSM will take away are the two clips above and Steele should have known that.
