		<description>Obama is NOT &quot;Black&quot;.   He is a half white mulatto bi-racial character whose father is from Africa.  Obama does not have a drop of slave blood in him.

Sorry if you Democrats find this FACT somehow offensive.  It just shows what mental midgets you are and also shows you are in fact race obsessed bigots.

Sorry if you stupid moron Democrats don&#039;t like it.  Sorry if you stupid Democrats don&#039;t like the truth. Nobody invented the facts, they are what they are.  

Obama does not have an ounce of black American slave blood in him and thus the Democrats asked the question several years ago &quot;Is Obama black enough&quot;.

In fact DEMOCRATS originally coined the phrase &quot;Barrack the Magic Negro&quot;.   A Democrat wrote it.  A Democrat published it in a Democrat run newspaper.  And Democrats championed the phrase and concept back during a time when Hillary was supposed to be the Democrat candidate.

Now the Democrats would like us all to just quietly forget they ever said it. Sorry, we will continue to throw this in your face Democrats for as long as you keep dodging the issue and as long as you keep trying to play your vile race card against everyone who disagrees with you.</description>

		<description>I kind of liked the song even if it is considered in bad taste. Its funny and stupid and sort of depicts what allot of people are thinking. It also serves to illustrate how bad the Republican leadership has fallen. Just to even things up and be PC however, Im more than willing to listen to the catchy tune of Bush, the tragic white trash idiot. Lets see if that loudmouth fat assed,Rush will give it air time.</description>

		<description>Not rascist,absolutely hilarious song, but tone deaf &amp; stupid by a politician. Anyone this inept &amp; sloppy enough to let this slip thru is disqualified to be chairman of a party. He&#039;s not Rush Limbaugh by a long shot. Come on,it was a goof up, there are better choices for chairmen, we are in deep doo if this guy is chosen.</description>

		<description>I wonder what the reaction would be if someone satirized &quot;Puff the Magic Dragon&quot; with a song called &quot;Bush the Idiot Warmonger.&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;It showed incredible poor judgment on the part of Republican leaders, regardless of whether it was technically racist or not. If someone cannot refrain from sending around such a bad joke in this day and age of instant media revelation, then there’s a problem in the brain area.&quot;

Where were these (or any appropriately defensive) comments and their originators, when President Bush was being raked over the coals so viciously during his administration?  I am in no way hinting that I staunchly supported the still incumbent President in some decisions he made and acted upon; but at the very least, he still deserved a show of deference from US citizens.  So, isn&#039;t this soft pedaling and defensive posturing around the President-elect edging toward hypocrisy, given the stunningly comprehensive bi-partisan lack of respect President Bush sustained?

Now that BHO has become the favored public icon, let him take the hits.  If the MSM has its way (they seem so very successful at it these days, BTW), even these mild jibes will not penetrate the thin veneer of their favorite protegé.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s funny when people say Repubs are intolerant. Intolerant toward who? Intolerant of black people? Because they are the only ones who insist the black community take responsibility for their behavior and their relentless racism? And Repubs are much more tolerant of some other groups than the Dems by the way. When we speak of &quot;tolerance&quot; it all depends on who you&#039;re talking to. Both sides have &quot;tolerance&quot; issues.</description>

		<description>&quot;The Magic Negro ditty is a satire on Al Sharpton and Joe Biden. That’s reality, people. It just quotes things Al Sharpton, the L.A.Times and Joe Biden said about Obama.

Of course, this reminds me of the dynamic we saw illustrated during the election: You’re accused of a smear when you accurately quote a democrat.&quot;

Exactly. Anyone who thinks the song is racist should be after those guys, not the people who simply pointed out what they&#039;d said.

I thought it was a pretty good spoof on the concept of being &quot;authentically black&quot;.</description>

		<description>60. Kurt
Following your logic, O&#039;Neill, Corsi, and the others should not have published &lt;i&gt;Unfit for Command&lt;/i&gt; because of the potential for the MSM to pervert the term. &quot;Willie Hortoning&quot; is what they do. The answer is not to be cowed into silence, but to be armed with the facts and challenge the revisionists at every deceitful turn.</description>

		<description>10. David Thomson:

“Who cares, it was in bad taste”

Nonsense. Talking about Barack Obama as something of a “magic negro” merely acknowledges a legitimate phenomenon in the United States. We should definitely be discussing this sort of thing. There are indeed numerous politically correct individuals who perceive Obama in somewhat magical terms. This is what helped him get elected! Let us never forget that the president-elect with his very thin resume would have been ignored if he were white. If we can’t discuss this matter now, when can we? Sometime in the 23rd century?

This is the Jackie Robinson syndrome. Was he the best? That is debatable. Most say no. Jackie was also the &quot;magic negro&quot;. Obama may have a thin resume but he runs circles around the ol boys network as did Jackie. And there were and are plenty of Blacks who could have run this country. The magic is relative.</description>

		<description>Kurt, you&#039;ve characterized the problem well.

It bothers me a lot that we are apparently getting to the point where the way we construct and communicate points of view now needs to be (always) driven by our assumptions regarding how they are going to be used against us.

You&#039;re probably more right than not in your bottom line, but it makes me sick to think that ignorance and humorlessness in political discourse means that we have to self censor when we are in the conversation.

Obama brushed this off and laughed about it when it was brought to his attention, saying (something like), &quot;Well, that&#039;s what Rush does...&quot; I heard that audio and he did indeed say it in a casual, humorous tone. 

The dems and their groupies are perfecting mass passive aggressiveness with regard to victimhood. Frightening that it can be packaged into a political force.</description>
