“Barack the Magic Negro” is Prominent Republican’s Stocking Stuffer

Chip Saltsman (pictured), candidate to head the Republican National Committee, sends out a Christmas goodie bag to RNC members with a CD including the racially loaded parody of Obama’s liberal supporters.

Courtesy of Eric Kleefeld of Talking Points Memo, who aptly notes:

“If one of the Republican Party’s challenges is how to effectively oppose the first black president without coming off as racist, one of the candidates for RNC chair is hardly off to a good start — he is now distributing a CD that includes a racially-charged song called “Barack, The Magic Negro.”

The CD is by Paul Shanklin, who writes right-wing parody tunes and is often featured on Rush Limbaugh. Casey has, of course, already documented in detail Rush’s racist history.
