Chip " I need my asswhooped" Saltsman
Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan issued a statement Saturday distancing the party?s leadership from one of the GOP?s best-known operatives, Chip Saltsman, who distributed a CD containing ?Barack the Magic Negro? as part of his campaign to be elected chairman of the Republican National Committee next month.
Duncan, who has served the campaigns of five presidents dating back to Richard Nixon, is seeking reelection as the party?s 60th chairman in a hotly contested race that includes Saltsman and several other viable candidates.
Saltsman, 40, was former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee?s campaign manager during the Republican presidential primaries.?
Saltsman sent Republican National Committee members, who will choose the next chairman, a CD by conservative political satirist Paul Shanklin, ?We HATE the USA.? It contains the controversial track, which was popular on conservative radio. Shanklin?s Web site promises ?absolutely the best parodies in talk radio.?
Duncan’s statement, in full: “The 2008 election was a wake-up call for Republicans to reach out and bring more people into our party. I am shocked and appalled that anyone would think this is appropriate as it clearly does not move us in the right direction.” [source]
:: brushes dirt off our shoulder :: In the words of Riley Freeman, I just have to say: Whatever n---a. At this point, I couldn’t give a damn about what people have to SAY about Obama. It’s like winning the championship and getting the ring, only to have people say your team still stank.
Stanking with that ring.
Magical negro. Magicking all up in that Whitehouse, fool.

UPDATE from ambboogie – ?from the writer of “Puff the Magic Dragon”, Peter Yarrow:
I and my co-writer of “Puff,” Lenny Lipton, have been eagerly awaiting an end to the mean-spiritedness, outright disrespect and bigotry that was commonplace prior to this last presidential election. What might have been wearily accepted as “the way it was” in the campaign, is now unacceptable. Obama is not a candidate. He is the President-Elect, and this song insults the office of the Presidency, the people who voted for him, as well as those who did not — and taking a children’s song and twisting it in such vulgar, mean-spirited way, is a slur to our entire country and our common agreement to move beyond racism.
It is almost unimaginable to me that Chip Saltzman who sent the CD, would seriously be considered for the top post of the Republican National Committee. Puff, himself, if asked, would certainly agree.

EXACTLYYYYYYYYY.
talk all the shit you want, the magic negro is still in the white house. aint shit you can do about it. get over it.
LOL This tickles me. He really thought this was going to get him some love with the good ole boys? They might be racist but they aren’t dumb, they are going to distance themselves from him so fast he gone think he is a leper. Just like the Pres Elect said “I am still your president.” Basically “whatever bitch”
YUP Chocolate Cinnamon IS Magically delicious!, Ask Michelle, his Baby Mama!
And He STILL The Motherf--king president for the next 4 years!
WHOOMP WHOOMP!
It’s not magic that got him in the White House, it was the terrible job your party did, and the fact that you stole the first election.
But ummmmm…please, keep the racism coming, it makes me feel good.
someone escort qucifer out…
tombout “ask michelle, his baby mama”
Oh, come on. where was your outrage when the left-leaning LA times call, then candidate, Obama a ‘Magic Negro’. Why was it ok in your eyes (as evidenced by the double standard in your reaction) for a democract to make a offensive point but it is so bad for a republican to parody the very same point.
i am not saying it was the smartest thing to do for republicans. i am just saying lets be fair about how we react or over-react to things like this.

Whaaaa??? they DID use that tack… i’m just saying tho…. she IS the mother of his two Children, his wife, best friend owner of his magic deliciousness and STILL only the second First Lady ever with a Post Graduate Degree… so yeah they can suck on my right boob for all I car ewith that ridiculous mess, call em what chu want they ARE still your Prez and First Fine f--king Lady !!
@ a republican – dude. seriously. AS a former member of the GOP, i’ll never let a fellow republican try to talk to me about fair or double standards. lol. We manipulate that ish daily.
Where was the fair play when people wanted to say bad ish about Bush, but members of our party who ran radio and television stations, wouldn;t allow the specials to be aired? or the commercials to be ran.
We reveled in that, homey.
So don’t even begin to try that one.
I may not like most liberals, but im not even gonna try to play the Holier than though conservative role. Nice try though.
And I hope Obama sprinkles a whole lotta damn pixie dust to clean up some of the SHIT the republican party got this country and it’s people in.
Work yo magic Big O!
A republican -
…..
You know what? Nevermind…Slaus said it all.
And as for Saltsman? Stupid is as stupid does. He should have left it on conservative radio, then the GOP could have stayed sn----ring behind closed doors. But now they have to come out and denounce it because of your azz? Talk about CUT OFF.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no..
It’s the magic negro
I cringe when I think about the “racial tension” there is going to be when the primetimes start their parody/satire that has become common place in politics. There was an entire show created that mocked Bush and SNL has made a ratings killing off Palin/McCain.
Magic Negro – why didn’t I think of that shakes head
I’m sure Obama’s been called worse, but now er’time I see him Ima think of the candyman song as sung by sammy davis, jr.
“Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew?
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The candyman, the candyman can,
The candyman can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
Who can take a rainbow,
Wrap it in a sigh?
Soak it in the sun and make the stra’bry lemon pie
The candyman? The candyman can
The candyman can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
The Candyman makes
everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious.
Talk about your childhood wishes.
You can even eat the dishes!
Who can take tomorrow,
Dip it in a dream?
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream,
The candyman? The Candyman can, the candyman can
The candyman can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
And the world tastes good
’cause the candyman thinks it should”
@TinaBaby – that was the SCARIEST version of Candyman I ever heard…shyt should have been in the scary movie “Candyman”.
@ Slausnificent,
I wasnt trying to play a holier-than-thou card. i was mearly pointing out that as stupid as Mr. Saltsman is for trying to get away with an offensive characterization of Mr. Obama, the LA times article by David Ehrenstein is not any less outragious. YET i didnt see any post or outcrying in the blogsphere nor in the traditional media about that article.
so why the outrage now? or is it simply that an (D) before your name gives you the right to be condescending towards minorities and get away with it?

WTF took the GOP Chair so dayum long to say something about it. Apparently this mess has been circulating for a minute and Rush ‘dope fiend’ Limbaugh was playing it regularly… like the dayum intro to his show.
I really have to wonder how folks like Condoleeza and Colin Powell can sit up there knowing that deep down this is how the rest of those folks feel about them.
Republican,
I can honestly tell you that I didn’t even know about the LATimes piece cause uhm.. I live in the Midwest.
However, your boy is RUNNING FOR GOP chair and decided to take this song and publicize it, making national news.
You’re comparing apples to oranges, as I don’t think an LA editorialist is trying to be the head of a national party.
Good try though, buddy.
@ republican , if you notice, the person who pitched the most fit was in fact a Republican who is also running for the RNC chair. Now the question is, did he complain because he truly feels this is a horrible thing, or is he doing so in hopes of tearing down his fellow republican whom he is running against.
The Majority of Obama Acolytes look at this as just another sad attempt by the GOP, and since we as Obama supporters in fact WON, we don’t actually care all that much.
Thus my Whatever comment.
I see the point you attempt to make but it’s nothing more than a form of transference. Transference being the act of shifting focus on others in hopes of diminishing the affects of our own transgression. Text book.
And honestly.. no one cares about double standards until they are no longer the beneficiary of the positive results.
*scratches head*
I thought the original song was about smoking weed…
*shrug*
salzman? hot garbage
duncan? um, ‘not good for the party’ is the only reason he can think of? this s**t is so wrong, their asses should both hang
