CNN Report-- A candidate for the Republican National Committee chairmanship said Friday the CD he sent committee members for Christmas -- which included a song titled "Barack the Magic Negro" -- was clearly intended as a joke.
You decide....
More from the CNN Report"I think most people recognize political satire when they see it," Tennessee Republican Chip Saltsman told CNN. "I think RNC members understand that."
The CD sent to RNC members, first reported by The Hill on Friday, is titled "We Hate the USA" and also includes songs referencing former presidential candidate John Edwards and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, among other targets.
Saltsman was national campaign manager for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's presidential bid in 2007 and 2008. Before that, he held a variety of posts, including a number of positions under former Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee.
This is clearly racist bullshit.....
UPDATED: The diary is meant to simply point out that Saltsman sent this out during Christmas, bring awareness to it, and not let it pass. Basically, if Saltsman and his ilk are bold enough to send that CD out during the holiday, I wonder what happens behind closed doors. Also, Saltsman isn't yet a BIG NAME....we should all keep him on our radar from here on out. File under "Dangerous Bigot" - so the next time he rears his ugly head, we can quickly fire off this example of why the RNC and their party are unfit to lead.
