- CryRightardCry, on 07/15/2008, -3/+1Why am I not surprised to see you try to lie about it?
There is NO evidence the incident you refer to ever happened, and it's been refuted by several independant people who were there.
Ah, here we go. I know you wouldn't ever go read it, so here it is:
"After a September 26, 2002 gubernatorial debate, which had occurred without reported incident, Paul Schurick, Ehrlich's communications manager, claimed that the Townsend campaign handed out Oreo cookies to the audience.[13] Five days after the debate, Steele said that one or more Oreo cookies had rolled to his feet during the debate suggesting a racist statement against him. "Maybe it was just someone having their snack, but it was there," Steele said. "If it happened, shame on them if they are that immature and that threatened by me." At the time of the debate, Schurick had not mentioned any such incident, but in November 2005 he claimed "It was raining Oreos... They were thick in the air like locusts. I was there. It was very real. It wasn't subtle."[14] In a November 2005 Hannity and Colmes appearance, Steele agreed with Hannity that cookies were thrown at him.[15] Neil Duke of the Baltimore NAACP, who moderated the debate, praised the "passionate audience" and noted their "derisive behavior"[13] but did not see such behavior. "Were there some goofballs sitting in [the] right-hand corner section tossing cookies amongst themselves and acting like sophomores, as the legend has it?" Duke said. "I have no reason to doubt those sources; I just didn't see it."[14][16][17] The operations manager of the building where the debate was held, interviewed three years after the event by the Baltimore Sun, disputed Steele's claim and said "I was in on the cleanup, and we found no cookies or anything else abnormal. There were no Oreo cookies thrown."[14] Some eyewitnesses including AP reporter Tom Stuckey who was at the event have said cookies were handed out.[18][19][20] Other eyewitnesses could not corroborate Steele and Schurick's claim.[21][22]"
That's from wiki, but sources are linked.
I'm guessing you'll ignore the facts and just keep lying.
Yeah, that's a lot easier than being honest.
Yep, like most GOP incidents there is no proof it happened, the person involved has changed their story, and it's counter to what the other witnesses say.
But I'm not surprised a black republican tried to lie about being the victim of racism.
And YES,I'm aware of the right wing "documentation" of the incident like this:

However it offers no proof, no evidence, it just assumes that those who debunked it are lying.
And then it actually is dumb enough to say "who would do such a thing...."?
For the GOP nothing is too unethical.

- Panzwhore, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Oh god no! how could he possibly call someone an 'Oreo' i am offended!!!
All this politically correct stuff is just ridiculous. - LoneRanger85, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1It hasn't been refuted by Steele. Or are you saying black conservatives are liars? Were it Obama who made such a charge, you'd be trumpeting the story from the mountaintops. Of course, if it weren't for the GOP, both Obama and Steele would be slaving in Al Gore's tobacco fields. Democrats don't have the moral authority to call ANYONE unethical.
