RNC chairman condemns controversial Obama song

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.

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.

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.
