The GOP’s joke of a chairman Michael Steele was the first to chastise Chip Saltsman — who also wanted the top party job — when he released a “spoof” CD that included, among other offensive songs, the track “Barack the Magic Negro.” Steele said the song just “reinforces a negative stereotype of the party.” But guess who’s suddenly laughing when the president is once again referred to as the “magic negro”?
Hosting Bill Bennett’s radio show yesterday, Steele was all chuckles when a caller referred to Obama as such. Via TP:

I say sometime around Labor Day this guy is history.

i heard this yesterday and one of the comments below the clip said Obama may be the “magic negro” but at least he isnt the “house negro”….i kinda have to agree in a way,4 him to laugh when someone said that about someone and not stand up to it,that is lowww.

i really hope my comments didnt offend anyone,i was just tryin to say its not cool for a brother(im half black)to laugh instead of standing up against this hate,its like he values being part of the republican gang over his dignity in this case

Steele is an ignorant and pathetic fool who doesn’t realize the enitre GOP despises him even as he goes after President Obama and defends the Repubs every rotten move.
