WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- A Tennessee candidate for the Republican National Committee sent a Christmas greeting to RNC members that included a song called "Barack the Magic Negro."
Chip Saltsman sent the CD with the song by satirist Paul Shanklin to committee members. The song first played on conservative Rush Limbaugh's radio show, The Hill reported Friday.
"I look forward to working together in the New Year," Saltsman wrote. "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," the newspaper reported.
Some of the track titles, including "Barack the Magic Negro," are written in bold font.
"Paul Shanklin is a long-time friend, and I think that RNC members have the good humor and good sense to recognize that his songs for the Rush Limbaugh show are light-hearted political parodies," Saltsman said.
