This is a tempest in a teapot.

Obama voters should realize that the purpose of this is to insult and poke fun at our enemy (liberals and democrats) at many levels. The ?Magic Negro? provides most every element necessary for Conservatives to ?hide in plain sight? our disdain for ALL things Obama.

Here is a clue, Liberals. The cover given you by the media is weakening. They can?t help themselves. Prepare to spend the next four years looking as weak as the candidate you put in office.


I say, well done.

I say your taste is in your ass, and it's consistant with the intelleigence and concern for the majority of our nation your criminal party has shown for the last eight years. :thumbsdown: :|

Keep your eye on the ball here. This parody is for the benefit of those who don?t like Obama. That said, it seems like Obama supporters could see the humor in this much the way I enjoyed Tina Fey?s brilliant satire of our beloved Palin.

It seems to me that you Obama voters are much too tight. Could it be that you know, as do I, that this Administration may not even last four years before we take over?

I believe so.

:D

Ya'll keep bangin' that drum :thumbsup: on the road to permanent minority status.

Is this overblown? probably.
Was it smart?
Probably not. Will anyone care by the time the next elections come and the dems have shown 4 years of incompetance and a failure to learn from thier own boners? Probably not.

Remarkable gall bringing up the subject of incompetence, all things considered- the bushistas and their congressional comrades haven't just been personally incompetent, but ideologically incompetent, as well.

As for the rest of it, Looks like the increasingly fashionable pre-blame so favored on the Right- don't look at what we've done, look at what the other guy might do... and the other guy hasn't even been inaugurated...

Personally, I'm not the least bit outraged- I'm enjoying it. Saltsman and his defenders might as well be wearing sheets as he campaigns for the RNC chair. Heh. I hope he wins, and that the Sarah! Sarah! worshippers push their candidate right to the top for 2012, as well...

Well...Obama is a negro (lets ignore the fact that he's half white for now and suspend reality) and he did attain the presidency, if that's not magical I don't know what is! David Blaine has nothing on Obama. :D

To me it just shows how behind the times the GOP is.
First of all they send this out on a CD, at the time of the internet. Secondly they have some sort of expectation that as Karl Rove did in 2000, they can target certain controversial messages to certain groups, without being exposed and alienating the broader electorate. And thirdly, they are firmly stuck in the politics of race, which has become a net loser in recent years. It is going to isolate the GOP into a marginal regional party of Southern conservatives.

Good points. Technology is changing everything we do at a very rapid pace. If you let a bunch of out of touch old white men run your political party in today's environment-whether they are liberal or conservative-you are DOOMED. What I notice is that the older many of these guys get, the smarter they think they are. :) The evidence suggests otherwise. I'm half as smart today as I was 50 years ago, but it's always been tricky dividing zero. ;)

Also...

and
" To date, no Republican officials have condemned the CD. "

Rush Limbaugh does not represent the republican party.

For that matter, neither does Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, or any other editorialist or satirist.

Get over yourselves.

About all we have seen so far is illegal activity to attempt to sell senate seats..

I'd imagine being called a magic negro is about #10394094032580482542 on the list of things Barack needs to worry about. #1 should be his tax cut he promised.

unfortunately, he hasnt been forced to make promises about anything.

i'm pretty sure the official party platform for obama's campaign was "I'm not bush!".

Flinging boogers at the teflon coated hardened steel armor that Obama is wearing seems to be all that the Obama haters have left to throw at him.

It's simply hilarious to watch those boogers ricochet right back at the flingers and watch those boogers stick on the faces from whence they came. And those boogers are piling up on each other already.

FUN.:D

cantidates will seldom make specific promises. he talked about healthcare reform, tax program reform (this in particular is the only specific campaign promise i've seen from him)and "bringing troops home". but then even he said bringing them home immediately would be an impossibility.

eh, what to i know. if bush were able to run for another 4 years, i'd vote for him again. :D

You mean all the problems the rep's got us into? Yes, you are right, they have alot to fix. I dont see dems gettting all worked up about this, just laughing at how badly some reps dont get it. As a matter of fact, the first I saw of it at all was when the RNC chairman condemned it. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITI.../obama.song/index.html

Yeap, you just had the guy who a significant portion of the country views as the worst president in all of American history, and the candidate from the Republican party explicitly stated his support for nearly all of the policies of the last 8 years.

Seems like reminding the country of that was a pretty good idea.

All I can say is I hope the RNC puts more CDs out.

Their brand of "political satire" is hilarious.

This only further highlights the fact that the Republicans are hopelessly out of touch. They should be focusing on trying to get back to their party roots, not pissing off more people.
