MSNBC Anchor: I Wouldn't Find It "Funny" If Someone Called Me "Tamron Hall The Magic Negro Anchor Lady" (VIDEO)

Chip Saltsman stirred controversy when, in his campaign to be the next RNC chairman, he distributed copies of a song called "Barack the Magic Negro." The song originally aired on Rush Limbaugh's talk radio show. MSNBC's Tamron Hall weighed in on the controversy, saying she wouldn't find it funny if someone called her "Tamron Hall the Magic Negro Anchor Lady."

DEFENDING Rush Limbaugh..­.OMG...LOL­. That statement says it all....

I didn't care for Tamron Hall when she was co-anchor on a fox new show here in Chicago. But since she has been with MSNBC, I've grown to like her and appreciate her talents for being an imformative new woman. I hope MSNBC continues to recognize her talents and give her more air time. I thought she did a wonderful job sitting in for Keith on Countdown.

Agree 100%.

The RNC and anyone calling themselves an Republican are over. They represent everything that is wrong with this country and it's not so distant racist past. It's interesting stuff to see them implode before our very eyes, and trotting their "Barbie Doll" women out front to quell the fires they started and stoked.

Nothing more than racial arsonists committing career suicide.

The new ploy of claiming all this vitriol is satire is intellectually dishonest and roundly bankrupt. Call them on it and watch them cry reverse discrimination of some kind, . . . so predictable.

exactly not right . period.

Yet another conservative, seemingly "normal" attractive female, defending the indefensible- namely, Rush Limbaugh. These people really, really just don't get it, and that's why the GOP is in a pickle. They do more to damage themselves then any Democrat could hope for.

I love Tamron Hall!!!! She's the only one I've seen who doesn't let people get away with lying on her show.

It's amazing that the GOP criticized the MSM for it's "treatment" of SP, yet they think this song is OK?

Poor SP...she was treated so badly. Yet, it's OK for the GOP to distribute an offensive song about the President elect?

Are we actually having a debate about this?

What is there to debate? It's offensive.

Folks - It's simply GOP DNA.

As famously said BY former football coach Dennie Green" THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!"

[jojojo]

Keep it coming GOP!

You're speeding your own demise, so please, please, keep it up!!

You are finally doing something to help the nation and the world.

[truegreen]

is this woman serious? how can she justify a racially insensitive song?

Tamron Hall did a fantastic job of being professionial in the middle of a very insulting conversation.
For the guests last quote to be "I'm defending Rush Limbaugh".­.. wow... what do you do with that?

Good for you Tamron, Gracias! They just don't get it! Bigots will always be ignorant and in denial!
