Look, all this did was to prove that Chip Saltzman is like most of the people at the RNC: ASSCLOWN. [1]
Yes, that IS ex-Gov. Mike Huckabee making telephone calls to Republicans on behalf of his former campaign manager, Chip Saltzman, as Saltzman prepares to run for chairman of the Republican National Committee. [2]
The article cites the recent election of a white supremacist to the Palm Beach County Republican Executive Committee in Florida and the most recent action that has raised more than a few eyebrows, resulting in condemnation from the current Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan, the distribution of a CD titled We Hate the USA to RNC committee members by Republican Chip Saltzman, a candidate seeking chairmanship of the RNC, a CD featuring a song called Barack, the Magic Negro, which may be viewed as an indication of the need for factions within the Republican Party to rethink strategies for a more inclusive approach to be adopted by the party.

[...] RNC candidate Chip Saltsman’s Christmas greeting to committee members includes a music CD with lyrics from a song called “Barack the Magic Negro,” first played on Rush Limbaugh’s popular radio show.

Saltsman was Mike Huckabee’s campaign manager during the former Arkansas governor’s 2008 run for president, but is now facing the condemnation of his party. [7]
