RNC chairman candidate defends 'Barack the Magic Negro' song

[Kber]

CNN -- A candidate for the Republican National Committee chairmanship said Friday the CD he sent committee members for Christmas -- which included a song titled "Barack the Magic Negro" -- was clearly intended as a joke.

...

The CD sent to RNC members, first reported by The Hill on Friday, is titled "We Hate the USA" and also includes songs referencing former presidential candidate John Edwards and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, among other targets.

According to The Hill, other song titles, some of which were in bold font, were: "John Edwards' Poverty Tour," "Wright place, wrong pastor," "Love Client #9," "Ivory and Ebony" and "The Star Spanglish Banner."

I think there's a decent chance he's not going to get the RNC job.

1. All together, now--"Chip, the Rethug racist lived in DC..."

Joke, get it?

2. No wonder the GOP is out of touch with the American public

I mean you have to at least apologize for this sort of crap if you ever want to be the head of the RNC.

5. I am beginning to suspect that their last period on power scared them

and they are taking steps to avoid being in charge again for the near to mid term future.

[gravity]

8. I just think they are idiots

3. The simple fact that the RNC is defending this dreck tells you all you need to know

about Republicans and their mindset.

Again, why are people like Bobby Jindal, Ron Christie, Alan Keyes, Condi Rice, J.C. Watts, Michelle Malkin, Michael Steele and other folks of color a part of this party? You'd think the Obama Waffles and Palin's goose-stepping during her rallies would be the tip of the iceberg.

Bi-partisanship, my derriere.

4. So when I write a song

About Chip Saltsman, and his daughter having an abortion, and him hiring hookers, and snorting tons of blow and stealing prescription meds, and how his family was spawned from incest, and how he comes from a long line of psychotic bigots, do you think he'll understand that it's a joke?

6. And much of DU is defending Rick Warren.

Explain to me how one political action is bigoted and the other isn't.

7. "Much of DU" is NOT defending Rick Warren. n/t

[cali]

13. That is not true. I have not seen a single person on DU

defend Warren or his bigotry. The most I've seen is a very few people here saying he's not as bad as some fundies. And there are precious few of those.

I'm sick of lies here.

9. "Chip the dumbfuck repuke...." AW C'MON!! IT'S JUST A JOKE!!

[muntrv]

10. He'll get the job. He's appealing to the base.

11. What an idiot!

Just typical of Repug ignorance. A joke, NOT.

[Danger Mouse]

12. It's like the Republicans enjoy losing elections and would like to experience it more often.

Keep up the good work, guys.
