Limbaugh Implies RNC Chair Shares Some Sort Of Solidarity With The President
Posted on March 2, 2009 at 5:23 pmAnybody know what Rush might be getting at here:
“Why are you running the Republican Party?” Limbaugh openly asked Steele. “Why do you claim you lead the Republican Party, when you seem obsessed with seeing to it that President Obama succeeds? I, frankly, am stunned that the chairman of the Republican National Committee endorses such an agenda. I have to assume that he does because he attacks me for wanting it to fail.”
RELATED: Why Rush is on the attack.
UPDATE: Rush completes the punking by getting an apology from Steele.

Drop The Negro And Get With The Hero
Posted on January 27, 2009 at 11:12 amThe Rev. T.J. Graham, best known in Nashville political circles as the black voice of nativism, is firing back today at those responsible for the creation and dissemination of ‘Barack the Magic Negro‘, a parody sung to the tune of ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ by parodying the parody.
It’s called ‘Barack the Magic Hero’ and its got its share of controversial lines:
“Obama said come join us. Republicans can ride, too. Just look way in the back of the bus we’ve saved a seat for you.”

Shucking Huck: Saltsman Distances Himself From Huckabee
Posted on December 8, 2008 at 6:48 pmIn a late afternoon conference call with bloggers both national and local, newly announced candidate for RNC chair Chip Saltsman made it clear that he is no stalking horse for a 2012 Mike Huckabee presidential run.
While Saltsman’s national bones were made turning the long-shot presidential campaign of the little-known, socially conservative Arkansas governor into a juggernaut which came within striking distance of the nomination, Chip Saltsman is known in Tennessee as the young anti-income tax state party chair of the late 90s.
On the call, Saltsman emphasized that pedigree and his association with more moderate and traditionally conservative Tennessee politicians like Bob Corker, Lamar Alexander and the political figure he is closest to, former U.S. Senate majority leader Bill Frist.
“[The Huckabee campaign] is part of my resume but it doesn’t define me politically,” Saltsman explained. “I’m not sure if you look at my history that you’d think I was a Huckabee guy. You could just as easily say I’m a Bob Corker guy, a Lamar Alexander guy or a Frist guy.”
He also noted his strong leadership against his political mentor Governor Don Sundquist on the state income tax issue shortly after becoming chair of the Tennessee Republican Party as evidence that he is a man willing to go against politicians he may be associated with.
Saltsman certainly made no apologies for his association with Huckabee and spoke with pride of his “13 months” on the campaign but he did make sure to put a bit of distance between himself and the Huckabee message. Saltsman made it plain that he was a straight politics guy in his role as campaign manager — a hired hand — not the idea man.
“Mike Huckabee was responsible for the issues in that campaign, not me,” Saltsman said.
