[GOP]Talk About Out of Touch [Magic Negro-gate](NYT Conservatives-are-Racist Hurl-a-thon)
The New York Times ^ | December 31, 2008 | The Editors

Posted on 01/01/2009 3:37:43 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The Republican Party paid a steep price for race-baiting in the presidential campaign. Remember the ferocious backlash against the California Republican group that produced a racist newsletter depicting Barack Obama on a food stamp, surrounded by images of fried chicken and watermelon?

Then there were those two congressmen who were rightly excoriated for condemning Mr. Obama’s candidacy in the language of the Jim Crow South — one describing him as a “boy” and the other as “uppity.”

We thought after all that — and, oh yes, losing the election — everyone in the Republican Party leadership would have figured out that race-baiting alienates young, minority and all reasonable voters.

Clearly, not everyone has.

Chip Saltsman, a veteran political operative, is pushing his candidacy for chairman of the Republican National Committee. He distributed a compact disc containing a parody questioning President-elect Barack Obama’s racial authenticity.

The song — entitled “Barack the Magic Negro” — by a writer often heard on the Rush Limbaugh radio show, has split the Republican leadership. One faction thinks the parody is just fine and seems prepared to defend it to the death. The other is condemning it and shuddering at its political consequences.

What a tempest in a teapot. If President-elect Obama isn't offended by it, why is anyone else, except to use as a club against the GOP?

The magic negro song perfectly describes why people voted for the Messiah. People show the Messiah as an articulate, smart, and clean black man who would serve as a great role model for his race.

And the ‘lesser-pigmented’ people 0bama has thrown under the bus, including his now-deceased ‘typical white woman’ Grandma...ISN’T racist?

Yeesh.

Did the New York Times actually intend to overlook Joe Biden's "clean and articulate" endorsement and Bobby Byrd's expression of support for "that Obama boy"?

Well, yes. Of course they did...

Yep. Now make it so.

The fact that Obama's reference to his own grandmother as "a typical white person" in a racist context wasn't objectionable to liberals proves that they hold a similar view of white persons, as a group.

Excepting their very own selves, of course. They, being superior beings, recognize that black persons are, in fact, inferior and require affirmative action in order to compete with racist white persons.

Fey!

Oh, Wait. Not so fast. We AREN’T ‘United’ unless it’s that we’re ‘united’ in keeping him ‘a prisoner of [his] own biography.’ *Rolleyes*

“Furthermore, I am a prisoner of my own biography: I can’t help but view the American experience through the lens of a black man of mixed heritage, forever mindful of how generations of people who looked like me were subjugated and stigmatized, and the subtle and not so subtle ways that race and class continue to shape our lives.”

* Quoted in “The Audacity of Hope” - Page 10 - by Barack Hussein 0bama

You missed it because it was done by a GOP women's group.

It's much harder for the media to smear women, even GOP women.(outright, that is)

So they just didn't report it.

"Well, yes. Of course they did..."

Which was of course the whole point of the parody to begin with...

It was Biden who did say obama was what? "bright, clean and articulate"?

And wasn't it the black "leaders" who were questioning his bonifides at that time...jackson, sharpton etal?...

And wasn't it a black liberal editorial writer from the LA times who DIDcall obama a "magic negro" that guilty whites could vote for?...

Thats the whole damn song folks...

A parody like pure comedy requires a hint of or a whole lot of truth to succede...

Okay all together now...

Barack the magic negro lives in DC....

What idiots

After 8 years of the total bashing of Bush, how can a monkey character eating fried chicken slipping on a watermellon skin would be that bad.

Still looking for the Times’ article on the Obamabots’ use and wear of the “SARAH PALIN IS A C**T” t-shirt.

Nary a word about conservative blacks being taunted (sometimes, pelted) with Oreo cookies and insults.

Liberalism is a mental illness. Help find a cure!

I think most of the white folks who voted for him wanted to assuage their white guilt for the institution of slavery.
