‘Magic Negro’ to the Rescue
When Chip Saltsman, a candidate to chair the RNC, distributed a CD with a song called "Barack the Magic Negro," reactions ranged from disbelief to utter disbelief. Of course, that was mostly among Democrats and a few Republicans like Newt Gingrich. But some Republicans are rallying around Saltsman, whom they believe has been the victim of an unwarranted media firestorm. “Chip probably could have thought it through a bit more, but he was doing everyone a favor by giving us a gift,” said Alabama Republican committeeman Paul Reynolds. “This is just people looking for something to make an issue of.” Fellow RNC contenders, like current chair Mike Duncan and Michigan's Saul Anuzis, have come under fire by condemning the song. “They just eliminated themselves from this race for jumping all over Chip on this,” one committee member told Politico.

There is not too much to say about this - except that the Republican party are idiots! They still think that the white male is king and can say/do anything they want. Wake up!
This is disgusting, outrageous, and an affront to every American. Unfortunately it will appeal to a certain minority of white males who continue to feel threatened and fearful of almost anything that they don't understand (which is almost everything). What does it say about the RNC that they continue down this path?
Ladies and Gentlemen! We unveil today the New Republican Party! If you are white, Christian, racist and homophobic, you may qualify! Special consideration given to those living in the really American parts of America, south of the Mason-Dixon Line, except Florida. Californians need not apply.
What's the difference between the GOP and the KKK? The GOP doesn't wear sheets over their heads!
