Thank you, Baby Jesus, for this comical blessing:
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.
I look forward to working together in the New Year, Saltsman wrote. Please enjoy the enclosed CD by my friend Paul Shanklin of the Rush Limbaugh Show.
The CD, called We Hate the USA, lampoons liberals with such songs as John Edwards’ Poverty Tour, Wright place, wrong pastor, Love Client #9, Ivory and Ebony and The Star Spanglish banner.
Several of the track titles, including Barack the Magic Negro, are written in bold font.
Ta-nehisi Coates sums it up best:
Seriously, where do people get this idea that the GOP is racist? It really is one of the great mysteries of our time. Oh well. Saltsman’s got my vote. Even if he believes I shouldn’t have one. He’s still got it.
