At an event for Maryland Democratic Senatorial candidate Ben Cardin, Representative Steny Hoyer (D-MD) accused Michael Steele of “slavishly supporting the Republican Party.” Dictionary.com’s definition of slavish: 1) of or befitting a slave 2) being or resembling a slave; abjectly submissive.
MSNBC has the story here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15287637/
This latest affront comes only a few weeks after a Cardin staffer joked on her blog about people throwing oreos at Michael Steele during an event:

Remarkably, this CNN story doesn’t mention Democrat Steny Hoyer is white. However, they did feel the need to mention a “black businessman … sponsored the campaign event .” They also noted he said this to a “largely black audience.” (CNN) Steele took offense. But the liberal NAACP doesn’t seem to mind. As of this morning, Google shows no stories listing the two words (“Steny” and “NAACP”) today or yesterday.
