"Barack the Magic Negro," wtf?

If the republican party were a robot, springs would be erupting from it's spinning head, with smoke shooting from the ears, as it randomly lurches around the room, banging into furniture.

I just listened to this on youtube, where it is being furiously posted and furiously taken down. The song seems to be a white guy pretending to be a black guy singing about black people not thinking Obama is really black. To the to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon. Wow.

While the song is offensive, my first reaction is how utterly out of touch anyone must be be to not think this is racist. Like minstrel-show, black-face, I-don't-know-nothing-'bout-birthin'-no-baby racist. It's just completely rotten.

The GOP seems to be going through a Chernobyl phase. More power to them.
