The leading US shock jock Rush Limbaugh is taunting the liberal media by repeatedly airing a derogatory and racially charged song about the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Limbaugh, whose rightwing talk show is one of the most listened to in the US, has been running a song called Barack the Magic Negro, to the tune Puff the Magic Dragon.

If Rush goes off the air it will have nothing to do with any of his parodies or comments, the only thing that will take him off the air will be the rebirth of “fairness doctrine” if fascist liberals can force it into law.
Rush is about as much of "shock jock" as the Guardian is a conservative "newspaper." (bird cage liner?)
He is to a Liberal. The truth is always a shock to them!
My, my. Isn't it remarkable that CBS -- of all people -- would be experiencing all this racism from their audience...and FreeRepublic isn't.
When did Rush Limbaugh start “spinning stax of hot wax” and other “disc jockey” nonsense? Last time I checked, he hosted a political/cultural commentary & talk show.
The British press is really bad and I always wonder why they are taking it upon themselves to insert themselves into our country’s politics. Wasn’t it the Guardian that was having their readers email citizens in Ohio trying to influence the outcome of the 2004 election? I remember reading about one of the papers over there doing that.
And what is happening in this country to free speech? Are we so thin skinned now that nobody can take a joke anymore?
Since 91. Song parody’s have always been on his show.
Shocking!! I’m shocked, appalled, and if I’m Johnny Cochran, dead!
Oh the horror of it all.
Please, no RUSH to judgment. I’m not Mark the looneytune Lane.
Only knuckle-draggers in middle US (people who like guns and might even believe in God), listen to Rush. In fact, nobody at the Guardian knows any decent person who would listen to such a hate-monger and anyone who does must be a hate-monger too.
The people who listen to Rush are far more dangerous to a progressive society than any jihadist interviewed by the Guardian lately.
They can never get the difference between “Bible thumpers”, “Bible bashers” (UK slang only) , and “Bible belters” straight, either.
I couldn’t find a place at the Guardian site to leave comments about this article, which leaves me wondering if they intended it to be that way. How convenient that they plant all their lies and innuendo but don’t allow anyone to call them on it or submit corrections.
He is so ahead of the leftist poltroons that in spite of theirbest efforts, they will not be able to knock him down.
Looks pretty white to me. http://paulshanklin.com/
“Limbaugh, whose rightwing talk show is one of the most listened to in the US”
I thought his was the most listed, not one of the most.
Are you as shocked as I am?
I would call it verbosity.
An ink stained wretch, a hack writer, a lad of the left etc.
There’s a reason the racist Guardian propagandists never, ever head out into the American hinterlands - the bandages, splints and gauze they’d need to patch all their wounds, broken bones and busted noses would bankrupt the British socialist health care system.
