It's a given fact that Liberals don't even HAVE a sense of humor, so 1) they don't even investigate the source of the concept, and 2)It was sarcasm focused at the LA Times and Al Sharpton.
This world has gone amuk when you can't even hang liberals by their own petard.
Many people who hear this song do not know Paul Shanklin. I don’t read the LA Times so I didn’t even know the context of this song when I heard it on Rush’s show months ago;I didn’t like it then, and I still don’t. I’m a conservative white person. I can only imagine how a conservative black person would feel. Of course if you are moderate or liberal, you would merely assume-nothing new here...the GOP is the racist party. This is why it’s beyond stupid. I think this song is racist and was meant to be racially offensive. As the writer of this article says. If you find it funny pass it around privately. Heck, I’ve been known to tell a few off color jokes myself. However, when you represent a political party, you should not have anything to do with a parody song that targets race...Rush should be ashamed of himself and so should any GOP operative dumb enough to link this with the RNC.
Must...not...parody...any...more...songs...promised...DFU
It was passed along this week by the RNC. Rush is an entertainer. This is different. Also, after you make your explanation...only half will hear the explanation, only half of those (maybe less) will believe the explanation. Most will nod wisely and think...always knew those conservatives were racist as they pull the lever for Democrats in 2010 and beyond.
Amen sister!
Navymom1 for RNC Chairman!
Some things are better left said in the privacy
Apparently you missed my intent. I was taking a jab at the redneck mentality that can give something like "Magic Negro" legs.
Ditto, .. RNC should proudly wave the CD in the air,, give the BLACK WRITER’s NAME and EXCLAIM ...”THIS IS HOW the DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY FEEL about BLACKS in General and their President in Particular!
Same game, different day... AND REMEMBER
it’s NOT Dirty Politics ... if it’s the TRUTH!!
It is effective satire that makes a valid point.
Typical piss-ant, spineless RINOs apologizing for life itself. And these limp wristed toadies wonder why they can’t get people to vote for them.
It means "What is legitimate for Jove (Jupiter), is not legitimate for oxen" or "Gods may do what cattle may not".
I'm not calling anybody "cattle" here, but you and I can joke about things that a party leader can't.
That's why party leaders get paid for what they're doing.
If you've got the power and influence or you want it, you have to be more circumspect, even stuffier, than the rest of us.
BUMP!
But somehow we don't have the First Amendment anymore to point this out...
Since some people, supposedly on the side of liberty, are "sick" of the topic, Move Along, nothing to see here...
Pussy.
The parody wasn’t funny. It was annoying.
It’s hardly racist to quote a racist black preacher. Not making that fact clear to the public is where the GOP has screwed up. Racist is a lost term. The GOP could praise BO for being the first black president and some POS democrat in this country would proclaim that the statement was somehow racist. With all of the pure hatred and racist crap coming from the party of slavery these days it is far past the time for the GOP to get past worrying about political correctness.
Correct.

And it doesn't help to have all the RINO fifth columnists. Some who have shown their real tendancies right here. I.e., those "annoyed" or disapproving of the parody are either not real or liberal schills.

BTT.
