TPM Election Central | Talking Points Memo | Candidate For RNC Chair Sends Out CD With Song Called "Barack, The Magic Negro"

TPM Election Central Talking Points Memo Candidate For RNC Chair Sends Out CD With Song Called "Barack, The Magic Negro": "Chip Saltsman, the former campaign manager for Mike Huckabee, has distributed a goodie bag to committee members that includes a CD by Paul Shanklin, a writer of right-wing parody tunes who is often featured on Rush Limbaugh. The 'Magic Negro' track, which first gathered controversy in the Spring of 2007, featured Shanklin portraying Al Sharpton as an Amos & Andy stereotype, ridiculing white liberals who support Obama.
Saltsman defended the choice of the Shanklin CD, telling The Hill: '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.'"

Good humor and good sense indeed. This is from the same folks that compared a 13 year old girl on national TV to a dog. What a brave group these guys are, Mike Huckafuck and Rush Limbaugh, throw in Sarah Palin and you've got a quorum.
