"Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks
against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair
because he is a conservative Republican.
Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in
Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance,
calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a
liberal Web log.
Operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also
obtained a copy of his credit report -- the only Republican candidate so
targeted."
