Perhaps it's because they're all sycophantic troglodytes who lack originality? Oh yeah: IMHO, of course.

It's interesting to see that Republicans are now becoming more open about their liberalism. By happily admitting that they used something created by a liberal (a black liberal, no less) as a joke against themselves they seem to be acknowledging their changing beliefs.

Good for you, guys. It's nice to see such refreshingly progressive behavior.

I knew a Chip in college who wasn't an asshole. But he had plenty of other issues to compensate.

It's hilarious to see the Republican party disintegrating. Rather than learn from what happened in November and ask what to do to gain back the moderate voters Obama took away, the crazies in the party are seizing control. By doing so, they're working to make sure that no one but the hardcores who think Jeebus wants them to vote for a Republican will do so.

If the GOP elects this guy as their leader, the party should be forcibly disbanded. All of their elected officials should be forced to step down and a new era of reconstruction should begin. This is farking ridiculous.

Demographics tell us that this will be unnecessary, appealing to racists is a dead end suicide strategy anyway.

I think you and Sarah Palin need to shut your whore mouths and go iron my shirts when you're done baking my pie. I don't know who gave you dumb coonts the right to vote let alone serve in the government.

What? It was only intended as a humor gift...

I know a Chip and a Skippy that aren't assholes. To be fair though, those aren't their real names, just nicknames they got somehow.

This is the same party that cried like babies on election day because blacks and hispanics are abandoning them in even greater numbers.

If the GOP wants new voters, put a bullet in the good ol' boy network's head and get back to fiscal conservatism. If not, STFU.

Bingo, bango, bongo. Just keep on doing stupid shiat like this, then screaming about it. THEN, have a bunch of people say it was just a "gift" like that was the best gift EVAR.

Nope, that shouldn't drive more minorities away! Round up the fundies!!!

I grew up in Chicago, and didn't hear that jingle for nearly two decades after I moved away (except for a brief cameo in Wayne's World).

Just last month, I heard that familiar ♫ 5-8-8, 2-3-0-0... Em PIRE! ♫ emanating from a TV here in southern Ohio... GAHHH!

If that's the same Empire Carpet guy (sounds exactly like he did when I was a kid), he must have acquired the secrets of lichdom from Dick Clark or Fidel Castro.

I've never known anyone named Skip or Chip, but in high school I was on the debate team with a guy named Kip who was the biggest asshole ever.

I credit that to the economic collapse. People had so many real problems to worry about, the fake problems got pushed to the side.

Darn it, the GOP has really found THE winning strategy, the Democrats are going to lose in 2010 and in 2012. I hope that the Republicans don't start insulting other minority groups as well as then the Democratic party will have an even harder battle to keep seats in Congress.

SherKhan: The greatest damnation is that it's not even clever.

And yet it comes closer to being funny than anything they did on Faux's conservative version of The Daily Show.

Chip Saltsman

I'm about as white as a guy can get, and I'd like to say that this may be the whitest name I've ever encountered. I bet he shiats argyle socks and timely-filed tax returns.

And on that note, let's get some whitey jokes out there.

What do you call a bunch of white guys sitting on a bench?
The NBA

What do you call a mob of white people in Detriot burning down the city?
Stanley Cup winners.

Why do white people like to play hockey?
It's the only way to get away with beating something black while not being a cop.

How many white men does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Just one. White guys will screw anything.

What's white and ten inches long?
Nothing.

What do you call a white guy surrounded by 5 black guys?
Coach.

What do you call a white guy surrounded by 200 black guys?
Warden.

What does a white woman make for dinner?
Reservations.

What do you call a thousand white people at the bottom of the ocean?
The Titanic.

/it's OK...one of my good friends is white

Actually, it's not blatantly racist. It's all in reference to an LA Times op-ed titled: "Obama the 'Magic Negro'", written by David Ehrenstein, who is definitely not a Republican.

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,5335087.story?co ll =la-opinion-center

From the op-ed:

"But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination - the "Magic Negro."

The Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. "He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist," reads the description on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro .

He's there to assuage white "guilt" (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest.


/Playing devil's advocate.
//Still, the guy's song was still done in poor taste. And he deserves criticism for what he did.
