CNN: "GOP Using 1950s KKK Crap - And THAT's How They're Going to Win 2012? "
Just caught this comment from a fiesty lady on Donna Brazeale's panel, yes, she really said CRAP.. and "has the GOP learned NOTHING from this election?" They were talking about the "magic song" - and the GOP panelist actually defended it by saying "An African-American wrote it."

The GOP is dead, dead in the water. I hope even the South will eventually reject them, but perhaps I hope too much.

3. WTF, Paul Shanklin is not African American.
It's my understanding that Paul Shanklin wrote and sung the song now made famous by R.L.



I wish I'd seen the segment....may repeat in three hours?

10. As if THAT would make the song OK, if it was even true.
Need a face palm smiley.

8. I'm guessing they're getting muddled with David Ehrenstein...

....the first guy to refer to Obama as a "Magic Negro" in his LA Times column (March 2007)

7. The GOP has learned nothing from the election.
Before the end of Obama's first term, Fox will have a gaggle of unabashed white supremacists as their mainline commentators.
