'Barack the Magic Negro': Republican National Committee (RNC) candidate for chairman Chip Saltsman had a different Christmas greeting for his party mates this season. His gift to committee members includes a 41-track music CD with lyrics from a song called “Barack the Magic Negro,” first played on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. On the CD was the following message: "I look forward to working together in the New Year. Please enjoy the enclosed CD by my friend Paul Shanklin of the Rush Limbaugh Show.”The CD, called 'We Hate the USA' lampoons liberals with such songs as 'John Edwards’ Poverty Tour', 'Wright place, wrong pastor', 'Love Client #9', 'Ivory and Ebony' and 'The Star Spanglish banner'.Several of the track titles, including “Barack the Magic Negro,” are written in bold font. Its title was drawn from a Los Angeles Times column that suggested President-elect Barack Obama appealed to those who feel guilty about the nation's history of mistreatment of African-Americans. Saltsman said the song, penned by his longtime friend Paul Shanklin, should be easily recognized as satire directed at the Los Angeles Times and nothing else.
Though the song is almost two years old, and the presidential campaign is over, 'Barack, the Magic Negro' is getting huge attention at the moment because if its controversial 're-release'. For those of you interested, here are the lyrics to 'Barack, the Magic Negro' as well as two music videos I found on YouTube.

Barack the Magic Negro Lyrics
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s not authentic like me.
Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They’ll vote for him, and not for me
‘Cause he’s not from the hood.
See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Some say Barack’s “articulate”
And bright and new and “clean.”
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper’s dream!
But, when you vote for president,
Watch out, and don’t be fooled!
Don’t vote the Magic Negro in –
‘Cause —
’Cause I won’t have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won’t get justice. This is about justice. This isn’t about me, it’s about justice.
It’s about buffet. I don’t have no buffet and there won’t be any church contributions,
And there’ll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain’t gonna be no cash money, no walkin’ around money, no phoning money.
Now, Barack going to come in here and ........
