From Media Matters: Goldberg revives claim that “left-wingers” “threw Oreo cookies” at Steele.

On the February 11 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, Bernard Goldberg revived the claim that, in 2002, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, an African-American, had Oreo cookies thrown at him. In fact, Steele, who was running for Maryland lieutenant governor at the time of the alleged incident, Robert Erlich, Steele’s then-running mate, and Paul Schurick, Erlich’s then-spokesman, have recounted several different — sometimes contradictory — versions of the alleged incident. Indeed, in November 2002, Steele reportedly speculated that Oreos allegedly present at the debate may just have been “someone having their snack.” — [ MORE ]
