They must have a desire to self mutilate.

Us white people get the same exact cr*p shoved down OUR throats, Sambo. Do “cracker” and “honky” ring a bell?

Sambo, ay?

She was trying to get some award with her performance.

ThackerAgency on January 28, 2009 at 12:58 PM

I was also raised to take responsibility for one’s actions and lay the blame where it rightfully belongs.

ThackerAgency on January 28, 2009 at 12:58 PM

You definately have me mixed up with someone else.

I bascially don’t sweat the small stuff – small minded behavior avails us nothing – gets us no where.

I live and let live, try to practice the Golden Rule when possible – try not to carelessly hurt people – try not to be controversial when I know it will only create strife.

Low taxes, low government spending just don’t completely seal the deal – if the other things are glaringly sticking out like sore thumbs all over the face of the Party.

You would be the first one to bristle at the thought that someone might be OFFENDED at the gay lifestyle. Would you like for those that are offended by gays to garner as much sympathy as you have for the blacks offended by this term?

I’d bet you would tell those offended by gay lifestyle to pound sand.

This song was one of MANY songs on a CD. Those that are offended by this should not be concerned when Muslim groups become offended by overtly homosexual displays in public.

White Americans are way to quick to pander to black Liberals. The whole point of the parody is to point out that the black liberal called BO a magic negro. Shankman didn’t do that, he was making fun of the phrase.

Saltsman was right that we need to appeal to all voters based on our principles but then he caves when the infobabe plays the race card. All of our Republican leaders need to learn to push back when liberals try and shame them with false accusations of racism.

Bill C on January 28, 2009 at 10:53 AM

Ahemmm, whether the accusations are false is in the eyes of the beholder.

By what Saltzman did – he himself played into the whole race card dynamic – exactly what his intent was but it backfired.

People who are offended by this will be offended by anything, because taken in context with the social commentary it speaks of, it’s hardly offensive at all. If rap music today and the portrayal of blacks in American society through Hollywood and the music industry isn’t offensive, then this isn’t offensive.

The media does play a large role in this. They have consistently portrayed the GOP as racist. Should we ignore that?

And it’s nothing but simple fact, gained from decades of polling, that black Americans tend to skew much more conservative socially than most other groups- they’re, in fact, some of the most religious people in the country if you look at them as a subset over white americans, asian americans, hispanics, etc. The polling also shows that black Americans tend to go liberal in their attitude towards income redistribution (usually in the form of welfare and similar programs).
Star Parker just recently wrote about this.

Blacks don’t support Republicans for a few reasons. Much of it the media’s fault. Then you have the obvious fact backed by every poll on earth on the subject- black Americans tend to be socially conservative, but they also consistently poll that they wholeheartedly support welfare handouts, thinking the government teet will forever be there, solving their problems, when in fact it’s only making their problems worse.

TheBlueSite on January 28, 2009 at 10:15 AM

Take some responsibility for heavens sake and stop whining about the media and blaming large groups of people for our losses.

We lost and the reasons are obvious and blantant; Saltzman is a clear example of how not to act after all is said and done. Someone like him should never ever be the face of the Party, that is political suicide.

We lost because of us, because of that small minded electorate that has some how found it’s way into the GOP -we lost because of pigheaded individuals who believe that large groups of people whole-heartedly accept welfare, we lost because of that group with vile hatred of atheists and Mormons or of anyone who isn’t like them.

You cannot insult large parts of the population and expect to garner votes and actually win.

Low taxes, low government spending just don’t completely seal the deal – if the other things are glaringly sticking out like sore thumbs all over the face of the Party.

Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it.

So shameful.

Actually you nitwits, we live in America! Any American can say anything he or she wants at any time about any thing as long as it does not cause harm to another person. It’s called FREEDOM of SPEECH! Stop with your stupid inane Political Correctness! It’s boring and dull!

sabbott on January 28, 2009 at 5:53 AM

Great, let’s harm the GOP some more, while screaming about the constitution.

This is the problem with him and many of you – you have no respect for the Party, or you just do not care.

Your stubborness will generate more and more negativity and the GOP will suffer irreparable damage.

Blacks don’t support Republicans for a few reasons. Much of it the media’s fault. Then you have the obvious fact backed by every poll on earth on the subject- black Americans tend to be socially conservative, but they also consistently poll that they wholeheartedly support welfare handouts, thinking the government teet will forever be there, solving their problems, when in fact it’s only making their problems worse.

I don’t want my candidates to kowtow to any subset of the population, just because some like to whine about nothing. The people that refuse to see the social commentary and get offended are usually the same people that will be offended by everything you say, and they will continue to live in ignorance praising democrats, though Bush appointed the first black sec of state, first black sec of education, first black natl security adviser, etc. The facts speak for themselves- conservative strategies have historically helped black Americans more than any liberal handout program has. The fact that most blacks are blind to that won’t change because candidates suck up to them.

Funny, I seem to recall that when those “SARAH PALIN IS A C*NT” T-shirts were the topic of conversation, Democrats wanted us to get the hell over it and man up about it.

But people are still going on about that stupid “Magic Negro” CD?????

Aitch748 on January 27, 2009 at 10:09 PM

Sure, and if Hilary or Obama were giving the shirts to friends and family at Christmas then they would be assholes like this jerk.

Jackie: “We’ll take April and May.”

Other voice: “That’s two months, Jackie.”

Jackie: “What? That’s a problem?”

Lord I apologize, but the joke has to be made. If there was a Jewish History Month does anybody wonder if they would hold out for two months.

I know I shouldn’t have. No need to tell me.

Soon enough, ‘BLACK‘ will be unacceptable. Maybe ‘Off-white’? Wait, no, that’s Obama.

Ugly on January 27, 2009 at 8:54 PM

The acceptable term is anti-white !

i.e. opposed to white.

And besides it is funny, makes fun of Al Sharpton, and the LA Times which initiated the phrase.
