RNC Chair Candidate Gives Gift of 'Barack the Magic Negro'

Chip Saltsman, a frontrunner for the chairmanship of the RNC and a two watt bulb, is apparently not that interested in the job, if his choice of Christmas gifts is any indication. From The Hill: (h/t Daily Beast)

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.

The CD is chock full of this kind of "humor," and Saltsman defended the gift:

Saltsman said he meant nothing untoward by forwarding what amounts to a joke more at Ehrenstein's expense than at Obama's.

"Paul Shanklin is a long-time friend, and I think that RNC members have the good humor and good sense to recognize that his songs for the Rush Limbaugh show are light-hearted political parodies," Saltsman said.

Oh, I get it! Ha, ha, it's not racism, it's just a joke at a black columnist's expense! Hey, can I make one of those too? "Chip Saltsman, the f---ing racist..." Yeah, that's funny!

I am sick of racist assholes doing racist shit, then hiding behind some ridiculous fig-leaf rationale. "No, I was just saying that he's an expert in the use of nigs, which is what I call numchucks. What?"

Just once, I'd like a guy like Chip Saltsman to have the balls to just say something like, "Yeah, I gave out this CD because I'm a racist. Not that I hate black people, I just miss being able to invoke stereotypes, and kick creative, old-school racist slang, and stick confederate flags on everything."

If you want to hear the song, go find it yourself. Sure, I could throw in a link, but that might lead to sales for "Shanklin, the Magic Racist." (I'm not calling Shanklin a racist, by the way, I'm again making fun of the columnist. What fun!)

When the holiday break is over, I look forward to members of the RNC denouncing this turd.
