For once let me approach this without trying to bait an answer that I can jump on like a hyper active partisan chipmunk. Out of all the political media whores in the UT GOP, why is only Huff talking about it and why wont anyone call it racist? I love satire. I love parody. This song isn't either of those things. It's a racist ditty, wrapped in a hippie jingle. The Republicans I've heard talking about it are all pissed that it's bad strategy. so ... wtf?

I love satire. I love parody. This song isn’t either of those things. It’s a racist ditty, wrapped in a hippie jingle.

The Republicans I’ve heard talking about it are all pissed that it’s bad strategy. so … wtf?

Admittedly I was not his biggest fan before this, but my dislike of this move is not that it's bad strategy, but simply that it's wrong to play to that lowest human denominator. It's just one more evidence of why I don't want to see him as the head of the GOP.
