Oh, and for any of you out there who didn’t get my “Church Lady” reference, see the link below.

“Oh. Never mind.”

(Different skit, but you get the idea.)

great points babe

They just don’t like parody of one of their own. Plus, *everyone* knows that conservatives are all old grumpy farts who are too busy yelling at kids to get off their lawn to have a sense of humor.

(/sarcasm)

You’ve got it, Susannah. Enough is enough. Parody is parody. And Tommy Christopher should stick his nose out of everyone else’s business.

Second of all, the song was a parody of a column by LA Times reporter, David Ehrenstein, in which he referred to Obama as a “Magic Negro”. I happen to think that Erhenstein’s column was tad offensive and stupid; however, I had no problem with Rush making a parody of Erhenstein’s column. But, what’s really mind boggling to me, is that neither the original column, nor the parody by Rush, generated much outrage at the time. However, now, some Republican official (Chip Saltsman) giving a CD that contains the Shanklin parody of the Ehrenstein column (along with 40 other tracks) is somehow way out of bounds? Gimme a break. This is ridiculous!

Third of all, are everyone’s Christmas gifts, from now on out, going to undergo this much scrutiny (or just conservative’s gifts), because I didn’t get the memo. Like say, for instance, can a liberal politician give his friends a subscription to The New Yorker, or would that be considered racist because The New Yorker did have a cover several months ago that some people thought was offensive (even though they were just trying to PARODY the whole “Obama is a secret Muslim” nonsense–link is below)? Can I give someone a DVD of John Stewart parodies, even though he did have one with a character called “The Race Genie” making fun of Bob Herbert falsely accusing the McCain campaign of racism (with the “Paris and Britney ads”) and of Obama with his “Dollar bills” comment–or would I be called a “racist” if I tried to run for office later? Oh, and can I give my friends a DVD of Saturday night live parodies, even though one of the parodies shows Al Sharpton getting shocked by a dog collar (link is below), or would someone call me a “racist” for that if I tried to run for office later? I’m sorry, but I don’t want to have to scrutinize my private Christmas gifts to friends and family members, for fear of being called a “racist” by some holier than thou, race-baiting weasel.

And finally, Obama publicly admitted to having Ludacris on his IPOD, and Ludacris even wrote an extremely offensive song calling Hillary a b***h and saying that John McCain should be paralyzed, and we’re obsessing about “Barack the Magic Negro”? Please! Obama was a presidential candidate and is, now, the President-elect (not some party official), and he admitted to listening to a guy who regularly uses the words “b***h”, and “ho” to refer to women, not to mention, the n-word–and that’s OK. However, Saltsman (a party official–not a presidential candidate) privately gives his friends a Paul Shanklin CD (Shanklin is not even in the same ballpark as Ludacris) with one track making fun of an offensive column, and all hell breaks lose?! The hypocrisy of this whole situation makes my head want to explode. I can’t believe that we’ve even been suckered into playing along with this.

There is nothing wrong with sending ANYTHING Rush has ever said or played on his show to anyone.

Period.

Ken Blackwell got it.
Gamecock got it immediately, instinctively, with ZERO caveats.

And I was sick most of the weekend because no one joined me at redstate.

But am I happy now, after 5 days of having major conservatives coming around and esp after Erick gets attacked as a racist, LIKE I SAID HE WOULD even when he added the PC police caveat about Saltsman’s judgment, and esp after winning the argument against liberals on BTRadio tonight?

Hell yeah.

Your affirmation will make it much easier for me to endure the additional vilification that I expect tomorrow

here.

for shame

I was alone for 48 hours plus on the pure arguement, and I think that I deserve to me the martyr, and that Erick does not. I even called out Erick for his caveats.

For 48 hours I was vilified by regulars at Redstate who insisted on echoeing libs that Saltsman showed bad judgment.

He didn’t.

And beginning on Monday, we began to hear prominent conservatives echo me.

And I feel good now.

And come this Monday, THE MAN himself will speak.

Smile.

I was listening to the show. Tommy was completely flabbergasted that you dared to call him out on his own turf.

He started making up stories about how drunk you were to distract from your argument.

But you didn’t let it get to you. And now he wants you to co-host a special show him as the conservative voice.

Way to go, Mike. On behalf of everyone at Redstate, thank you sincerely for defending us.

GO GAMECOCK!

I was attacked here at Redstate.

But tonight, it was Gamecock that defended Erick and Redstate.

Facts

The fact is that Saltsman did NOT show bad judgment, as Erick said, and having made that “admission” against interest, fatally disabled him from being a credible advocate for the truth going forward.

Gamecock filled the void tonight on Unusable Signal.

It wasn’t hard. Why?

Because Gamecock doesn’t fear the PC police.

This matters

Thanks again, and you have inspired me to write a song entitled “Tom, The Tragic Left-O”. I wonder what tune I can use…

you’re pathetic Tommy!

Dumb on Saltsman’s part. Dumber for Duncan to blow it out of proportion, but hypocritical on the Left’s part to call it Republican racism. It was all started by a liberal homosexual african american who has no time for Obama.
