What Exactly Did Chip Saltsman Do?

Let me see if I can figure this out. Chip Saltsman, who is running for the position of RNC Chair, sent a CD around to RNC members that contained a piece of satire written and sung by a friend of Saltsman. The title of the song was "Barack the Magic Negro." It was a parody of an article that appeared in the Los Angeles Times on March 19, 2007. The LA Times article was written by David Ehrenstein.

Let's take a look at Mr. Ehrenstein's article. He started out by saying "As every carbon-based life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters--musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House. But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination--the 'Magic Negro.'"

Mr. Ehrenstein goes onto explain that "the Magic Negro" has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist.

Now, it is clear after reading the article that Mr. Ehrenstein is just another left wing writer so in love with the idea that blacks can't get a fair shake in the United States that they will go to any length to make their point. It is ok for Mr. Ehrenstein to insult whites as he does in his article by saying that we are all looking for a "noble, healing negro" and "thats where Obama comes in" but its not ok to poke fun at the idea that there is anything magic about Barack Obama.

Oh no, do that and you are every vile name that the liberals can throw at you. What really amuses me is that they think if they write as disgruntled Republicans, the American people will pay more attention. Well, I don't know about you, but that stopped working for me years ago. It really doesn't take long to figure out that the nastiest comments come from the real racists and destroyers of America - the left wingers who truly believe that our country doesn't deserve the success that it has had - the same group that insists on sticking a knife into the back of America at every opportunity.

I make every effort to try to understand the logic and thought process of liberal Democrats, but something has me really stumped. Why was it ok for a nut case from a foreign country to assault the current President of the United States? In fact, a group on Facebook started collecting shoes to send to the President. That was supposed to be funny??

But a conservative satirist does a parody (in song) of a liberal newspaper (the LA Times) article about "Barack the Magic Negro" and another conservative sends it around to some people, and all of a sudden all Republicans are racists, and this good decent man running for Chairman of the RNC is a racist and worse!!! I don't get it. It's ok for the NAACP to call itself "colored", its ok for the United Negro College Fund to use the word "Negro", but if we dare to laugh at the presumptuous people who think Obama is the messiah, we are racist. I guess, thank God (and yes, I do believe in God) that I will never understand these bitter, hateful liberal Democrats.
