Comments on: Could "Magic Negro" Controversy Help Saltsman?

[kansas1946]

Meanwhile, Politico is suggesting that the flap might actually help Saltsman in his bid for the RNC''s top job, since it has prompted some members to rally around the embattled former Tennessee GOP leader.
*****************************

This just shows you how far the party has fallen. The parody by itself is nothing, but when you have a person who is promoting himself for the leadership of the Republican party, this should be a no brainer. He is out. Of course, typical of Republicans for the last twenty years, no matter what one of their members do, it is OK by them and they defend them. This was not okay for him to send out. It is actually more insulting to white people than to Obama. If they are trying to build a bigger tent, they are failing miserably. Eventually, I guess they can sit over there in their pup tent with the g a y-bashers and anti-women freaks. Small party, small tent.

Chip the White Supremest, hails from Tennessee.

He frolicked in a Senate Seat, for a party called GOP.

Paul Reynolds loved the racial stuff,

And thought the Magic Negro song was pretty fancy stuff! oh.

Once again we see the media distort everything the republican party does beyond belief all the while dismissing anything done by the democrats. This obviously is NOT race related (has anyone actually LISTENED to the cd?) yet the press is all over it. On the other hand, Obama attended a CLEARLY racist church preaching hate against white people AND against America and he gets a pass....I am scratching my head on this one as I just don''t get it....The Republican Party has GOT to stop letting the media make our decisions for us. They haven''t done a good job so far.

Saltsman is a PERFECT leader for the GOP. I say- GO FOR IT, GOP!

Let''s encourage the GOP hate parrots to go on. Don''t dissuade them. Encourage them! They are the best argument for the end of the GOP as it has become. The purveyors of hate, racism, lies, and slander repulse the vast majority of fair minded and thinking Americans. These haters do nothing but illustrate that the GOP has become morally and intellectually bankrupt.

Let them spew their hate and ignorance for all to see. 95% of Americans see them for what they are- the backwater dead-enders that populate the Rush Limbaugh audience and believe everything Sean Hannity and Fox News pour into their empty heads.

The more they write and talk the more they look like fools. So encourage them to continue proving what blind followers of a failed GOP really stand for: Hate and ignorance. In the end, all their frothing at the mouth will accomplish is a "New GOP" that will regularly win Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Utah, Idaho, Alaska, and Oklahoma. Wow. Impressive.

The simple fact that Chip Saltsman chose to send out the CDs with the supposedly "political satire" about Mr Obama shows that he is racist. Why does the fact that Mr Obama is black need to be made into satire? I could understand republicans mocking his political stance. But to refer to his ethnicity does not warrent satire, and any republican who thinks this isn''t racist is, at least, just sticking theirs heads in the sand or at most, racist themselves. The more the republican party tries to explain this "Christmas gift" the more racist and small-minded they appear. And for republicans to be considered the party of christian conservatives, I would think that this kind of thing would leave a bad taste in their mouths. I am becoming more and more convinced that the republican party is the party of evil with rush limbaugh as its mentor.

This is how low the GOP has fallen and why it has lost so many moderate Republicans. It''s an embarrassment and appeals only to the fearful, uneducated and/or far right wing-nuts. Many of my fellow (moderate, old fashioned) Repubicans are looking for a new party.

I didn''t see the above-referenced SNL, but Palin was a complete embarrassment and the reason I HAD to vote Democrat. I know I am not alone in this.

Maybe the best way for RNC members to evaluate Chip Saltsman is to review his detailed, multi-page, 3,644-word %u201CPlan for Republican Victory%u201D on his RNC campaign website at http://www.chipsaltsman.com

This is Chip''s %u201Cplan to execute a campaign for Republicans to recapture leadership on the American political scene.%u201D

Hmm. Chippy%u2019s Plan includes eleven LONG paragraphs about how the RNC should reach out to Latino and young voters %u2013
but NOT ONE SINGLE WORD about black voters or reachin'' out to them...
and also, NOT ONE SINGLE WORD about women voters or reachin'' out to them.

Hmm. It looks like Ol'' Chippy has already written off any hope of addin'' black voters or women to his Party -- so, it really doesn''t matter to Chippy that he sent all the RNC members a Christmas CD with his grinnin'' face next to four ugly, song titles.

Dr. Bill Frist praises Chippy as a "thoughtful tactician for Republicans nationwide." I reckon we''ll see how this Chip-tactic plays out in the short term when the RNC members cast their votes in January --
and in the long term, when Americans cast their votes in future elections.

I always wonder why people say that all media is "Liberal". What is Fox News? It sure ins''''t "fair and balanced", maybe "fair and biased"

I agree. Fox news is a joke, it''s nothing more than a mouthpiece for the RNC.

I wonder how the GOP can recruit new members when they keep putting their feet in their mouth.
The first rule should be.."If it could be remotely controversial don''t do it or say it". This is just plain ol'' common sense.
I am sad to say that this guy is from my state

Every single week I recieved an email about Obama being a "Manchurian candidate" Muslim, or he wasn''t a real American citizen, or he is the anti-christ, OR he wants to paint the white house black, or bling the rides...and you people actually have the gaul to pretend that you are not even slightly racist? Your entire party is based upon this ***!

[texasbeta]

Calling black people "Negroes" and making a song stating that the only reason Obama was elected was his race...is racist. There isn''t a way around this. If you think differently, then you...are racist. This isn''t calculus. The entire GOP base is fueled off of racism, not smaller government or anything else...stop talking around it. Finally stand up and admit it!
