After the controversy caused by “Barack The Magic Negro,” the GOP has been forced to defend another song by the same artist, “The Star Spanglish Banner.” The song was featured on the same CD distributed by Chip Salstsman, a candidate to head the RNC. The song, a parody of the Star Spangled Banner features a singer using a Speedy Gonzales accent. The song is considered offensive by many Hispanics. Here are the lyrics.


Jose can you see
By the dawn’s early light
Cross the border we sailed
As the Gringos were sleeping

What broad stripes and bright stars
We like red, green, and white
On the day that we marched
We were gallantly screaming

And the rally was where
We waved flags in the air
As proof in daylight
That our flag was not theirs

Jose does that star spangled banner yet wave
For the land of weak knees
In DC, no one’s free

Here’s the Song
