Regarding "Barack the Magic Negro."

Isn't it amazing that wingnut politicians can't tell the difference between satire and racism? Either that, or they just believe that many agree with them.

Chip Saltsman, a candidate for the RNC chairmanship, is a Tennessee Republican who distributed a CD that contained "Barack the Magic Negro," a racist take-off on "Puff the Magic Dragon," first played on the air by Limbaugh in 2007. (Other songs on the CD had titles which included "Ivory and Ebony," "The Star Spanglish Banner," "Wright Place, Wrong Pastor.") In other words, a CD that could easily be titled "#1 Hits for Bigots."

With my apologies to millions of white, progressive, sane Southerners, why is the South still stuck with so many politicians who are among the worst racist scum on earth? That's not to say there aren't others (northerners, mid-westerners, westerners, etc.), who are either total racists, or screaming assholes. But Southern politician's have raised being first-class pricks into an art form.

How often have you seen this takeoff titled "Barack the Magic Negro" mentioned in the MSM? What if it was a recording titled "Schumer the Magic Jew," or "Maddow the Magic Lesbian," or "Mitt with the Magic Mormon Underwear"? Does anyone really believe that any of these "parodies" wouldn't receive MSM attention and condemnation?

In 23 days, Barack Obama will be the President of the United States. How dare this disgusting piece of trash named Chip Saltsman insult "The Office Of The President" in this way? After all, wouldn't he and his ilk been outraged if we had turned out a parody on "their" president titled "Bush the Magic Moron?"
