What on earth made him think this was a good idea? Its not the "negro" word that I am freaking out about (unlike most people). I've read a lot of people who are 'outraged' calling the song racist. Chris Rock and tons of other comedians make a large sum of money poking fun at white people. As a white person am I outraged? No. Do I think Chris Rock is racist? No.
However, when the GOP image is so beaten by the MSM, sending out a mix tape with "Barack the Magical Negro" on it is not the best idea. Why don't we as Republicans just douse ourselves with gasoline and give Olberman the match.
On the flip side, the other people need to lighten up! We all get it, Obama is black. This is not a newsflash (considering how much attention he brought to this fact himself during the campaign). The song that Rush played on his show is about a news article that shared the same title. It is political satire. We all remember what that is right? Its like SNL poking fun at Sarah Palin. They basically called her a ditsy broad by having Tina Fey characterize her, "I can see Russia from my house." As a female am I outraged? No. Do I think that Lorne Michaels is sexist? No. I am outraged the Tina Fey won 'Entertainer of the Year' simply because she happened to resemble Sarah Palin. There weren't any other performers that did more this year? Really? I digress...
Long story short (too late)...
- America, lighten up!
- Obama is black (negro means black)
- Satire is not to be taken seriously, just ask Palin...
- most important - GOP, stop given the MSM easy ammo to attack us with!!!!
