"We've been misdefined as a party that doesn't care, a party that's insensitive, a party that is unconcerned about minorities, a party that's unconcerned about the lives and expectations and dreams of average Americans, and nothing could be further from the truth.." So says Michael Steele, the guy w...

We all know and love former Tennessee GOP Chair Chip Saltsman as the guy who distributed the CD with the song "Barack the Magic Negro". Overlooked in the hoopla over that racist song was another song on that CD -- The Star Spanglish Banner: It's nice seeing two of the top candidates for the RNC chai...

Once upon a time there was an organization called the Republican National Committee, which was run by competent people like Ed Gillespie and Ken Mehlman. They helped win elections and stuff, until 2006, when Republicans suddenly stopped winning anything. Since then, a succession of nobodies at the R...

This guy named "Chip" who is friends with Mike Huckabee mailed a CD to some friends with a terrible song called "Barack the Magic Negro" on it, and now he will lead the Republican party. The song is by some presumably terrible conservative song parodist named "Weird" Paul Shanklin (j/k his real nick...

Back during the Republican presidential primaries, there was a lot of sentiment that sure Rudy Giuliani was a baby-killer and didn’t hate gays, and sure he lacked relevant qualifications for the presidency, and sure he seemed to be involved in a bit of corruption and cronyism, but, hey, he pis...

Chip Saltsman just naturally assumed handing out a minstrel song called "Barack the Magic Negro" would quickly win him enough Republican friends to become party chairman. So why is everyone so upset??   Saltsman is a big loser just like his old boss, Mike "Failuretown" Huckabee, who once m...

This is what Chip Saltsman — the guy who successfully won the GOP nomination for Mike Huckabee — sent out as a “Christmas Gift” to fellow Republicans, so they’d choose him as the new head of their party. Please, let’s stop the “political correctness” a...

Jesus, you really had to be, overtly, strenuously, going-out-of-your-way, knocking people over, to garner the IDOTW title - during Christmas Week! I fully expected to come up with a goose egg for our "Ignorant Dolt of the Week" honoree this past week. I mean, everyone is on the down low, chilling ou...

To recap: Chip Saltsman sent out a CD of songs to RNC members for Christmas. One of the songs was “Barack the Magic Negro,” a parody featured on Rush Limbaugh. Apparently Mike Duncan does not listen to Rush Limbaugh, nor do the members of the MSM, all of whom are piling on Saltsman. As C...

A-holes like Chip Saltsman remind us again of why the GOP has a hard time getting Black people to join their ranks: 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 electio...
