This sheds more light into what really goes on behind the scenes in the GOP. Its no surprise that the GOP does better in renowned racist areas throughout the country which they call "real patriotic america" than in more diverse, prosperous, and tolerant areas.

This complements the bigotry and chauvinism Ms. Palin was screaming at the top of her lungs during the campaign -"This man does not see American as you and me see it." I wonder who the 'you' is in this statement, it sure ain't majority of Americans!

First of all, I don't like rappers saying the word and a lot of other blacks like me don't like it. There has been ongoing debate about this, and I wish the word would go away. This still doesn't give professional politicians the right to say these words of hate. They are educated, and should know better. They should be trying to unite us and not separate the country. These words are only causing hate.

It is down right wrong and shame on these people.

This kind of bigotry shows others what the GOP accept and embrace!. Hatred and bigotry have NO place in society ( This includes Rush) .BY ANYBODY!!!

What was he thinking???

Chip, the laundry called, your Klan robes are ready, pick them up asap for the cross burning

There is NO excuse for anything like this, and we will not forget this anytime soon!

Do advocates of "transparent & thinly veiled racist practice disguised as humor", ever wonder how 35,000 Black fighting servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan feel about cowards like Rush Limbaugh, Chip Saltsman, and Paul Shanklin disparaging their character back home, while nobody defend their honor?

= P

This entire incident shows me just how out of step some of the GOP and RNC higher-ups are with the rest of the country.Bet the Dems bring this up during the 2010 elections.

Do you honestly think that over the 21 months that Barack Obama campaigned, after hundreds of interviews, dozens of debates (not to mention all the background checking that was required by the State of Illinois and the U.S. Federal governments before he was sworn in as a State and the U.S. Senator, respectively), that his "resume and experience" were not intensely scrutinized, not only by the public, but by the press and countless pundits?

Helen, he's the real deal and our President. He's intelligent, hardworking, understands what it means to serve the people of the United States and yes, he's even a U.S. citizen (it doesn't matter your parents' country of citizenship; if you are born on U.S. soil – and Hawaii has been a state since Friday, August 21, 1959 and Barack Obama was born August 4, 1961 – you are a U.S. citizen),

To everyone like Helen out there – be a patriot, stop whining about your guy not winning, and start lending a hand to help out your country!

But why is it any different for anyone white person to say Negro,,,
but many, many of the black rap artist and hip hop singers use WAY worse,,, and no one stops them at all. Or even complains.

Sorry, but I do not feel Negro is racist. And the truth is, Obama is not even a Negro,,, he is a half breed.

You already belong to the party of hate.

This fool should be thrown out of the Republican party immediately!!!

And he wants to be in charge??? I think NOT

Folks, this latest action by the RNC and their lame defense of it is just par for the course. This is what the RNC has degenerated into: a party of hate-mongers and dividers (not to mention incompetent politicians who only care about lining their own and their cronies' pockets).

This is interesting that Paul Shanklin (who penned the words to this song) and Chip Saltsman the wannabe RNC Chairman that enthusiastically condones the distribution of the song, takes pleasure in the use of the 1960's term Magic "NEGRO". Negro is a term African-Americans spent years shaking off because of its deep affiliation with Slavery and Jim Crow racism; and a reminder to African-Americans of their victimization to all types of hatred suffer on American soil for nearly 330 years.

WHERE IS JAMES DOBSON, "FOCUS ON THE FAMILY", "FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL", and SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN-EVANGELICALS? Oh, I just found them. They are hiding in the "Amen Corner" for Chip Saltsman, Rush Limbaugh, Paul Shanklin, and the Tennessee Republican Party (TNP).

(just like biggotry towards the gay community.)

yeah keep it up GOPers, keep it up, repthuglicans are no longer the party of Lincoln its more of party of Jefferson Davis or David Duke. here we are in the 21st century and rethugs are still living in the past.
yup, the rethugs will never ever rule for us for many years.

GO OBAMA 2012

It's almost as if republicans resent the fact that they have to live in this country with people who look, worship, and think differently from them. How does a party that thrives on hatred and fearmongering intend to have a long term future? Spreading hate can only get you so far.

I cannot believe he thought this was a good idea, Bush must be behind it somehow, coordinated it with the Hawaii blackout

Remember that respect has got to be earned and this is not helping anyone.

The "I was just joking" is what the nasty kids learn on the playground in first grade: they go about hitting, kicking, calling names and being totally miserable pieces of humanity and then, when called to account, whine "I was just joking" .... then they become adults (which is not the same as growing up) and swear blood allegiance to the Republican Party!

This vicious song has nothing to do with Obama: Bush can not speak in cohesive sentences and Cheney did shoot his friend. Ok to parody real events: But the GOP is so stupid, they can't manage that small detail!

Shame, shame, shame! Republicans don't want to be part of the solution so they therefore must be part of the problem.

Grow a soul people!!!
