The party of old white Christian men does it again:
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.
Saltsman, a personal friend of conservative satirist Paul Shanklin, sent a 41-track CD along with a note to national committee members.
“I look forward to working together in the New Year,” Saltsman wrote. “Please enjoy the enclosed CD by my friend Paul Shanklin of the Rush Limbaugh Show.”
The CD, called “We Hate the USA,” lampoons liberals with such songs as “John Edwards’ Poverty Tour,” “Wright place, wrong pastor,” “Love Client #9,” “Ivory and Ebony” and “The Star Spanglish banner.”
Several of the track titles, including “Barack the Magic Negro,” are written in bold font.
Saltsman, the former campaign manager for Mike Huckabee, has even been endorsed by his former boss and Bill Frist. Maybe someone in the media should ask the pastor or doctor how they feel about this.
There is one guarantee if Saltsman becomes the new RNC chair – they will remain in the minority for years to come. This kind of idiotic, hate-filled divisiveness is what has been destroying the GOP.
