"Barack the Magic Negro"

if a black person makes jokes about a white person it's all just in good fun and people, for the most part, just ignore it but god forebid a white person make a joke about a black person, that white person is now considered a racist. i'm not saying i agree with what this guy did but come on who really cares. people make jokes all the time.

If it were Joe Schmoe, it wouldn't be newsworthy. However, it's a guy who might just become the leader of the Republican party. If an African American politician of similar prominence circulated a CD with a track entitled, "Kill whitey," it would be newsworthy and rightly so.

Anyone who believes that racism is not alive and well in this country, is a fool. If you are foolhardy enough to think that the practice of racism is limited to ANY specific race and NOT practiced by all colors......to some degree, you are part of the disease..........NOT the cure.

Oh come on, this is not the same as Chris Rock making fun of how white people drive. More than anything, this reconfirms what a lot of us have known for a long time - Republicans aren't funny!

And any time they try to be, it usually ends up blowing up in their faces. So I guess in that regard they are pretty funny.

Never really thought of that but man you're right. Even my conservative friends/family can laugh part of the time at Bill Maher's sense of humor. There's no equivalent on the right. And Matty called it on the right's attempts to be funny always blowing up. I'll never forget the gruesome video of Lush Bimbaugh trying to make some "joke" about Michael J. Fox where Lush is writhing all over the place in his studio chair. Conservatives from coast to coast defended him like it was somehow done in good humor! Disgusting.

What about Larry the Cable Guy? He's funny, no?

I would love to see Steele as head of the GOP. There are minorities out there who are Republicans and influential in the party. I hope to see more.

The GOP has lost its way its last few years, and has gotten away from its core values. While there were many things I did not like about W, I do think in 20 to 30 years he will be viewed as a decent president. That is if the media ever gives him a fair shake.

While I think what this guy did was totally unacceptable and he is first class dolt. I have wondered why was there never any outcry when liberals (and why weren't they condeming them?) were making remarks like "Palin should be aborted".

i never heard that. the only thing i heard was she isn't intelligent enough. and there aren't too many people that wanted to take her side in that argument

First time hearing that, who said that exactly?
