RNC chairman condemns controversial Obama song

[southern_dem]

The chairman of the Republican National Committee said he was "appalled" by a song called "Barack the Magic Negro" on a CD distributed by one of his political rivals.

"The 2008 election was a wake-up call for Republicans to reach out and bring more people into our party," RNC Chairman Mike Duncan said in a statement reported Saturday afternoon by Politico.

"I am shocked and appalled that anyone would think this is appropriate, as it clearly does not move us in the right direction."

Kudos to Duncan for actually speaking out, but I'm sure it will cost him votes with the fundie base.

1. At least one of these guys has some sense

He only did it because he's trying to keep his job though.

10. He is right

That kind of stuff will keep people from even thinking about joining the republican party.

3. I'm skeptical. They have frequently demonstrated that they like Double-Talk, all it takes

is plausible deniabililty and they can have their cake and eat it too.

4. I hope he's sincere in his shock.....that whole group consists of a

bunch of racist assholes.

5. A carefully worded, parsed non-apology apology

I don't have time now to do the deconstruction, but it's there/

6. They do that shit all the time...put out something hateful and shameful

and bigoted and horrid, then pseudo-repudiate it later, after it's gotten distributed all over.
RePigliCons EXCEL at that tactic, in business, in politics, wherever.
Disgusting. They can't be trusted to be honest in any way, shape or form.

7. Rec'd~ This deserves to

be read further.

8. Second The Kudos

to Duncan doing the right thing. Keep it up GOP dummies and forever be known as the party of mean and divisive.
