CNN) -- A candidate for the Republican National Committee chairmanship said Friday the CD he sent committee members for Christmas -- which included a song titled "Barack the Magic Negro" -- was clearly intended as a joke.
The title of the song about President-elect Barack Obama was drawn from a Los Angeles Times column.
"I think most people recognize political satire when they see it," Tennessee Republican Chip Saltsman told CNN. "I think RNC members understand that."
The song, set to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon," was first played on conservative political commentator Rush Limbaugh's radio show in 2007."
The GOP is really digging its own grave here.Be more like Rush GOP and you will be in the political wilderness which you have gone into in the last couple elections indefinately.
They defend it as a joke,bet the minorities who here about it will overwhelmingly think its not funny.The GOP tent is getting smaller and smaller all the time with such things and thats not the way to be a majority party which of course they are not and not likely to be in the future with such stupidity.
