One of the Republican Partys best-known operatives is under fire for distributing a CD containing the spoof song "Barack the Magic Negro" as part of a campaign to be elected chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Chip Saltsman, 40, sent out a mailing to RNC members that contained a CD of political songs by conservative satirist Paul Shanklin, according to The Politico.
Saltsman was Mike Huckabees campaign manager during the former Arkansas governors 2008 run for president, but is now facing the condemnation of his party. Current RNC Chairman Mike Duncan blasted Saltsmans comments in a statement released Saturday, according to The Politico.
"The 2008 election was a wake-up call for Republicans to reach out and bring more people into our party. I am shocked and appalled that anyone would think this is appropriate as it clearly does not move us in the right direction," he said.
Duncan is seeking reelection as the GOPs 60th chairman in a fierce race that includes Saltsman and several other candidates.
The 41-track CD, called "We Hate the USA," contained other songs slamming liberal targets, according to The Hill, such as "Wright Place, Wrong Pastor," "Love Client #9" and "The Star Spanglish Banner."
