I agree that the phrase “Magic Negro” is derogatory. I don’t like it when Rush uses it; I don’t like it when it is used on this forum. I am not PC, but it can be too easily construed to imply a racist meaning.

Common sense needs to be used on this forum. I think that if someone on this forum called Lieberman the “Magic Jew” there would be a good chance that their post would be pulled. Just because it is said by Rush, doesn’t make it acceptable or smart.

Add in the fact that the LA Times coined the phrase... yes it does.

I've got a FABULOUS idea... Let's create a thread where we all provide the mods with words and phrases that we all find objectionable, and ask the mods to forever ban them from FR lexicon... Sounds good?

I'll go first..." Stupid"
