"Some" = Soros front group onlyliberalmediamatters. Must have forgotten about the Condi Rice incident.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Not to defend Rush on this but frankly, as far as I’ve seen so far, Obama’s main talent and qualification is the color of his skin.

But that’s typical Democrat. It’s all about politics, all about image. Form before substance.

[alaskamomma]

There is a poll with the article..

I voted..

[iowamark]

This is old!

Old news is no news.

[BnBlFlag]

“Some say”.........uh huh. So what?

[Sapper26]

“Some” say that the Left should park the old Racecar D into the garage and leave it there.

From RushLimbaugh.com:

I went to bed about 1:30, two o'clock, so I didn't get up to see what the Today Show did today, but I knew what they were going to do before they did it because I predicted it to you on Friday. I just want you to know what happened. We sent them reams of data. H.R. spoke to the producer three times Friday afternoon. They interviewed Michael Medved about it to get a voice agreeing with my side. They didn't use him at all. They just used this hack from the George Soros funded front group for the Democrat Party, Media Matters for America.

It's pathetic. They're posting the lowest ratings they've posted in years, they're just barely ahead of Good Morning America -- they've got a smaller audience than we do. They had to try to get this wrong. There's no other way this could happen. They don't even understand the point of the parody, "Barack, 'the Magic Negro'." It's a piece on Al Sharpton. It's not even a hit piece on Obama, and everything in it was originated by libs. ... they just don't want to get it right. ... It's just a smear. This happens every day to me. ...

The more I think about it, I think they did this in a perfunctory way. I think they want me to start railing against them because the Today show's numbers are in the tank, folks. ... these are some of the worst ratings in over a decade for the Today show. Snerdley's point was, "You know, they saw that little dust-up that you had with the CBS affiliate out there in Sacramento, and they saw how many website hits that little station got and all the publicity it got. I think they're just trying to get you to give them a bump, because there's no news value in this thing, ... It's a two and a half month old story and nobody is talking about it other than these Democrat front group websites."

[johnpannell]

Of course the perpetually offended never bother to listen to the lyrics!

“...The L.A. Times they call him this,
because he’s black but not authentically...”

Said by an Al Sharpton impersonator! Sharpton is the real subject of this parody.

[DeaconRed]

I was tackled the other day and held down and forced to listen to Rush.
I couldn't change stations.

[PeteB570]

There’s a whole bunch of us out here in that “niche audience”.

They still don’t get the song or it’s origin. And they report “News”.

Some Say Obama Parody 'Insulting'

Ever since the XVth Amendment (or was if Brown v. Board of Education?) it has been unconstitutional to hurt the feelings of the Colored. This demostrates the need for "fairness". OK, so let someone on NPR insult W. Problem is, who'd ever know?

[Right Wing Assault]

Limbaugh suggest (sic) that the song is a parody based on a newspaper column about Obama written by journalist David Ehrenstein

No, he doesn't SUGGEST it, he SAYS it.

[sgtbono2002]

There really is nothing “Magic” about Obama.

He is simply a mulatto who used his white grandparents money and threw them off and became black. Nothing new in that either, Haile Berry threw her mother off on national TV.

Obama The 'Magic Negro'-Senator Lends Himself to America's Idealized, Less Than Real Black Man

Funny, I don't recall anyone complaining about the LAT article...

[Hardastarboard]

some are wondering

The mysterious "some" is the media's way of going after someone or something they don't like by attributing it to a faceless, nameless, imaginary group who is concerned about an "issue". It's a good device to use for the uncritical sheeple who read their crap. It only enrages me, since I know the real agenda.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

RE: Media Matters

smatter def: To study or approach superficially; dabble in. To prattle.

It's Media Smatters.

IMO it's no small thing that these single-purpose, simple-minded smattering clowns picked Don Imus first. The unintended consequence for them is in his name, I'm us.

All Americans had better keep that in mind.

No more cowering responses to the left's contumelies. Almost fifty years of giving in is enough!

Rush has detailed this over and over -- as is the wont of the leftist pukes they try to make the man the issue and not debate the substantive aspects.

[sergeantdave]

Some say the democrat party supported slavery. Some say the democrats invented Jim Crow segration. Some say the democrats are still racists.

[SoFloFreeper]

...yet another lame attempt to attack a conservative powerhouse: Limbaugh.

[gitmo]

In his broadcasts, Limbaugh suggest that the song is a parody based on a newspaper column about Obama written by journalist David Ehrenstein.

Rush didn't "suggest" it was based on the LA Times article. Rush read the article on the air, and introduced his parody. The parody is a commentary on the article and on Obama's popularity based on ... what???

Ehrenstein's article was entitled, Obama the 'Magic Negro'. Rush also mentioned he had never heard the term 'Magic Negro' before this article.

Media watchdogs said there was no hue and cry to stop Limbaugh because he speaks to a niche audience

Funny, Rush's audience dwarfs each of the network news audiences and include a huge number of Democrats, yet it is a "niche market"

[LantzALot]

"Some Say ..."

Yeah, I just heard one of them say it the other day.
Doesn't mean they're right.

[aruanan]

"This is basically the radio equivalent of a black face minstrel show," said Paul Waldman of Media Matters for America. "You know, going back to 'Amos and Andy' and all of those kinds of racist shows."

Oh, wait. Media Matters. Isn't that a front organization?
