Hey, I kinda like Oreo cookies...
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.
But black Democrats say there is nothing wrong with "pointing out the obvious."
"There is a difference between pointing out the obvious and calling someone names," said a campaign spokesman for Kweisi Mfume, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate and former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Oh and in case you haven't heard, and you probably haven't, the leader for privacy rights in the US, Senator Chuck Schumer, is the chairman of the DSCC and his staff members are who illegally obtained a copy of Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele credit report by using Steele's social security number without his knowledge. And this guy is looking out for my privacy?
