A few leftists are puffing up their "we're so affronted" feathers over Chip Saltsman's Xmas gift to other RNC members, a CD of parody music that includes one song called "Barack the Magic Negro."
http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/rnc-candidate-distributes-controversial-obama-song-2008-12-26.html In the past, some of our pseudo-feminists here have claimed that supporters of Obama would be as outraged over a racial slur aimed at him as they are (or pretend to be) about so-called gender slurs aimed at Hillary. Well, we're about to find out. It's possible that they are correct. Political groupies almost always tend to be more stupid and less in control of their emotions than the politicians they're groupie-ing for. And so it's possible that a few haters on the left or in the Democratic Party will try to turn this into a way to promote hate towards those on the right or in the Republican Party. And if they do, that will just be business as usual, and as stupid IMO when they do it as the "misogyny card" rants were when Hillary supporters played them. But the key issue will be how Obama himself will react, if he is forced by someone in the press to do so. My bet is that he'll laugh it off and tell people to GET OVER IT. That's what a real leader would do, and would encourage in his groupies. Only a loser would allow their groupies to not only get outraged over a silly affront, but to hang onto that outrage for months as if it were some kind of Big Deal. To do so would only get in the way of the big things they hoped to accomplish.
