The Politically Correct Will Destroy the Earth!
A candidate for the Republican National Committee chair sent out a holiday CD to committee members that includes the song "Barack the Magic Negro," a parody first aired on Rush Limbaugh's radio show.
Chip Saltsman, the former campaign manager for Mike Huckabee who's considered a long shot in the crowded field for RNC chair, is a friend of the song's writer, Paul Shanklin, a comedian and frequent Limbaugh guest. The CD, called "We Hate the USA," pokes fun at liberals, their causes, and their slip-ups with titles like "The Star Spanglish Banner," "Love Client #9" and "Wright Place, Wrong Time."
In a voice meant to recall Al Sharpton, Shanklin sings on the "Barack the Magic Negro": "They'll vote for him and not for me, cause he's not from da hood. See, real black men like Snoop Dogg or me or Farrakhan have talked the talk and walked the walk, not come in late and won."
Limbaugh first aired the song, which draws on a column from the Los Angeles Times, on his show in 2007. PC gone amok ...
The press would have you think this is a 'CD of the Magic Negro' - it is not. It's a compilation of parody songs by Rush Limbaugh's favorite - Paul Shanklin. Parody by definition, cannot occur without stepping on somebody's toes. The song itself has little to do with Barack Obama and everything to do with Al Sharpton, who, at the time of its release, was busy ripping Don Imus's lungs out, meddling in the Jena 8 trial and generally doing what he always does - race baiting. Remember Tawana Brawley? Now, if you want to hear the 'offending' song - poke the Reverend in the eye in the image above. This politically correct crap has to stop. This particular instance has nothing to do 'racism' and is squarely aimed at 'racial' politics within the BLACK community. Please recall that the good Reverend did run for President himself. And since when is this news? Is anyone out there old enough to remember Vaughn Meader? The number one album the year JFK was assassinated was 'The First Family' - a parody of the Kennedy clan and Camelot, rife with 'Irish' humor and Catholic jokes. And what of all the despicable racism found across the radio dials by the likes of 50 Cent and Snoop Fucking Dogg? PUBLIC airwaves, I might add. So anyone out there whose panties are in a bunch over this latest in a long history a good-natured American political parody can kiss my ass. Looks like Google is pulling down 'The Magic Negro' videos on Youtube - here's another version of the same song. Pass it on!


I don't want to hurt anyones feelings and non't the N word however I amused when blacks use the term in particular Dave Chappel in the skit where he played a blind racist who did not know he himself was black.

While it is being blown out of proportion, did Chip Saltsman really think it wouldn't? Come on, you have to be smarter than that. America will publicly be outraged if someone seems to be mocking Obama's race, the man has the support of most of the nation. As our President-elect, shouldn't he be subject to the same bull@$#% about respecting our leaders that the right has been cramming down our throat? Republicans got their fake ire up over any negative comment about the administration over the last eight years. That's the party that tried to tie patriotism to blind allegiance. His lack of tact and seeming obliviousness to the mood of the country should immediately disqualify Saltsman from being RNC chairman, if that party wants to rebuild itself it needs to get someone with better judgement.

One chump or two?
I am so sick of this PC crap.
Makes me wanna eat nails.
Saltsman should have known better, but the press are the real culprits.
