"RNC candidate Chip Saltsman’s Christmas greeting to committee members includes a music CD with lyrics from a song called “Barack the Magic Negro,” first played on Rush Limbaugh’s popular radio show. ... The song, which debuted on Limbaugh’s show in late March 2007, latches onto an opinion column in the Los Angeles Times of the same title. That column, penned by cultural critic David Ehrenstein, argued that Obama could serve as a balm to whites who felt guilty about past treatment of African Americans. ... Republicans searching for ways to attack Obama have been hesitant to embrace any reference to his race. Limbaugh presciently predicted his allusion to the column nearly two years ago would win attention from left-leaning organizations that would suggest he was using Obama’s race against him. --http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/rnc-candidate-distributes-controversial-obama-song-2008-12-26.html "

pretty fucking prescient.

Wait, Obama is black?

12/27/2008 7:28:03 AM

12/27/2008 1:26:13 PM

sounds like season 3 of chappelle show

12/27/2008 2:04:13 PM

I wonder who at the RNC actually thought "hey, this could be a good idea!".

12/29/2008 1:12:43 PM

Apparently quite a few of them found no issue with it because there appears to be only one prominent republican attacking him, everyone else is like 'tee hee, it's a joke, see? just because we're making fun of his race doesn't mean we're racist - it's a song! fun! you can't have fun with racism' etc etc

12/29/2008 1:26:22 PM

i cant wait untill we elect a jew a president.

12/29/2008 1:41:10 PM

I could just imagine if Bloomberg would have won...

The RNC would have come out with "Mike the Kike" (sung to the tune of "Mack the Knife") and they still wouldn't have seen anything wrong with it.

12/29/2008 3:41:41 PM

Unlike Blacks, there are a lot of Jews in the RNC, so I doubt that would happen.

12/29/2008 3:54:23 PM

Ah, the selective "outrage" of the OP--who's an anti-Semite, BTW.

12/29/2008 6:18:44 PM

I'm not outraged, I'm just highly amused by the sentence:

he's not just prescient, he's a friggin genius.

and as for me being anti-semitic, that's totally bullshit and you know it, you sneaky little kike.

12/29/2008 7:53:16 PM

why doesnt the RNC just pay young jeezy like 10 billion dollars

12/30/2008 12:57:40 AM

LOL at people attempting to defend this.

12/31/2008 12:57:45 AM

im not defending it, but dont pretend like some liberals have not done some completely tasteless anti Bush crap over the last 8 years.

12/31/2008 1:02:34 AM

Bush is a liberal, so I don't understand that comment.

It's one thing for Rush or other talking heads to use it for satire and entertainment but it is completely another for some guy to launch his campaign with it.
