This headline might be redundant, because if an offensive song turns up online, the chances are that it will be on a right-wing site. Human Events posted a parody of "Felize Navidad" on it's web site, which includes charming lyrics such as "Illegals in my yard, Throw them some pesos and they work so hard." Real funny. A few months ago Bill Maher said that not all Republicans were racists, but if you were a racist, there is a good chance that you are Republican.
I have said this before, but it seems as if the GOP needs to have a come to Jesus meeting about race. The party has a reputation of being a pro-White (and anti non-white), and it is not helping when these offensive incidents keep cropping up. One way to ensure that the GOP stays a minority party is appealing to white people, a shrinking minority in a country where Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group.
Having a black face as the leader (Michael Steele) is not going to solve the problem.
