Limbaugh’s derisive jab at Obama called racist

Think of the all the trees that will be saved.

Would that be two or three trees. With circulation rates, it is hard to tell.

The headline needed a barf alert. Even in the LYRICS of the song it is all explained. A liberal writer of the L.A. Times called Barak the Magic Negro, not Rush. And it is the Rev. Al in the song saying that Barak hasn’t walked the walk, not Rush. Rush is no Imus.

Dissemination of the parody, which has been airing on the conservative radio host’s show for a few weeks, renews in a new context the contentious American conversation about race in politics and society.

A "new context" meaning the DBM/dems new and ever expanding definition of Hated/Discriminated/Bigoted. It's not even fun anymore to guess what these people will do and say. Rush and Ann have them pegged right down to almost exact wording now!

What a bunch of malcontent, irresponsible, arrogant, ingrate LOSERS the DBM/dems have become.

The plan will of course be to shout down any criticism of Obama as racist. Rush I believe wants Obama’s people yelling this early, and often, against any form of criticism. There has to be no hesitation, by next summer, if he is the guy, it has to be about Obama, not about color.

I expect to hear the opposite from the Obama camp, that this election is “bigger than all of us”,and about “What this means for America”. Obama as Fullfillment of MLK’s dream,healing, lots of healing, hope and the mountain within reach (cue the choir).

The guilty liberal feely-feel vote will be easy,corralling the black vote as a bloc would secure the nomination, with or without the peace-niks.

This could play successfully. Regular Americans are feeling a bit insecure right now. Folks are shook by the war,hate this nation building business as much as we do, they too are tired of the constant tale of woe from the media,which constantly plays up how “hated we are” all over the world. Bring on some feel good.

Oprah has already signed on,to tell us the Secret of Happiness in America will be Vote for Barrack, millions will comply. The Right thing to do. It is going to be very rough.

Some good news, is the leftist culture war experts must pounce on each other first. Clintonista bareknuclers do not play nice, and it could get very real, very fast.
Hopefully that will be a horribly divisive and extended,
expensive bloody battle.

LMBO!

Morons. The jibe is at the the likes of Sharpton et al.

Exactly. The primary target is Sharpie. Obama is collateral damage.

[Vision Thing]

Probably Hillary. We’ve already determined that she’s southern and was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Besides, I heard that she knows what it’s like when something is run like a plantation.

Not only that, but her Southern Black accent is authentic. You should've heard her speech in Selma to commemorate some civil-rights event. She was the real deal. :-)

[Screamname]

That word that liberal blacks throw around so often, their magic shield, “Racist”.

But to quote J.C. Watts:

“They said that I had sold out and Uncle Tom. And I said well, they deserve to have that view. But I have my thoughts. And I think they’re race-hustling poverty pimps.”

Thank you Mr. Watts.

Limbaugh’s critics

Who would that be?! Admitted LIAR David Brock (George Soros mouthpiece) and his morons?!

How about this photo, from New York magazine:

I loved Steve Widom's comments on this over at Vic Niederhoffer's blog:

At lunch today, the semiologists in our office were puzzling over this photo, the centerpiece of a multi-page Obama hagiography in the current issue of New York Magazine (a glossy lifestyle-porn publication for affluent suburbanites).

The obvious religious tonality — "Obama Transfigured Before His Disciples" — must be intentional. The triptych format; the halo of light above him; his elevated position; his posture; his disciples gazing upward, hands clasped prayerfully.

But why? Is it just standard-issue media ridicule of Christianity, timed for publication around Easter, or is there a subliminal message?

NB the disciple seated on the right (yes, the Palindrome) — Judas, are we to think? Or Doubting Thomas? Poised to de-fund unless he sees "proof" in the early primaries?

This parody has been playing for well over a month. The Left is just now slamming Rush for it because, on the heels of Imus being removed from the air, they are hoping it can be used against Rush. This whole topic was discussed in the DUmmie FUnnies and it shows how the Left is merely using this parody as a way to Hush Rush.

[6SJ7]

That means the story was lifted from an anti-Rush blog. Modern "reporting" at its finest.

I guess the 'reporter' is too lazy, or more likely all too eager to beleive the propaganda feed about Rush. If one Googles 'Magic Negro', the original LA Times story is the 1st item in the returned search. But I suppose a good attack on Rush trumps real reporting for today's MSM.

Don’t muddy the waters with truth.

I thought she said that some of her family was Jewish.

Bravo! You demolished the Leftists! They’re all just sucking their thumbs now. Thanx. : )

[Political Junkie Too]

This parody has been playing for well over a month.

That's their MO. When Limbaugh first played the song, he predicted it would only take a week for this phrase to be attributed to him instead of the LA Times.

The "Rats" subliminal ad from 2000 also ran a month before anyone made an issue of it. It's just more faux outrage from the Left, trying to gin up anything they can.

Next, they'll interview "victims" of Limbaugh's bigotry from Rio Linda, CA.

What’s even more interesting is that LIBERAL (and very gay) David Ehrenstein has a very chatty Blog called a Fablog in which he is very chatty about EVERYTHING (including outing a lot of well known people) yet he is COMPLETELY SILENT about both his Magic Negro article and Rush’s parody of it.

[Republican Wildcat]

The parody was making fun of the L.A. Times article with that title. The song was not the source of this. The author of this piece and the Obama campaign have problems with being factual.

I’m loading up on the pop-corn just to watch all this...this is going to get fun...

What’s also going to be fun is watching the reaction when Bush vetoes that hate crimes legislation in congress as he has promised to do....

Bush does usually follow up on his word once he flat out gives it!

[PJ-Comix]

See my post above. The author of the L.A. Times article seems to be hiding from the very article he wrote. Ehrenstein has a very chatty blog (Fablog) in which he chats and gossips about everything EXCEPT for his own article and the national parody of it on Rush.
