Of course, there is no mention of the original liberal LA Times article for "The Magic Negro" in this report, is there?

Didn't think so. Link: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,5335087.story?coll=la-opinion-center>

I’m sorry, but if Obama is not the “Magic Negro”, as described by the LATimes, then who is?

There is no end to the good reasons to trash the 1st amendment. Really, someone could get hurt.

Blacks of course are permitted to question, insult, and degrade the level of authenticity of Obama’s blackness, but whitey had darn well better follow suit.

The parody itself prominently mentions the LA Times.

No doubt someone is looking for another take down after Imus.

It is racist to use the term “Magic Negro”. The LA Times should do penance by ceasing publication for a week. Think of the all the trees that will be saved.

It was a parody of an LA Times editorial.

Limbaugh’s critics say the song goes too far — particularly because it is spreading on the Internet as Obama, an Illinois Democrat, faces heightened security concerns fueled in part by hateful e-mails, letters and Web postings.

I love how they try and link a parody song based on a LA Times article with supposed threats against Obama. Guess they are laying the groundwork for future reporting should something actually happen to him.

How can it be racist? Rush didn’t make fun of Osama’s ears...as did Hillary! Clinton Rodham.

I’m curious... Are they expecting an “apology” from Rush??!

It would be fun watching them turn blue waiting... and waiting... and waiting...

Anything Rush says will be called “racist,” “bigoted,” “homphobic,” or just plain “hate talk.”

Barack Hussein Obama is not taking this serious?

I take the phrase “Barack the Magic Negro”, as the most descriptive synopsis ever made of the boy wonder’s essential qualifications and abilities. A little magic to go along with the thinking that it is only necessary to say all the right soothing words, doing it all with a little Puckish smile, while skipping about merrily, and the world shall be endlessly charmed.

It is Obama’s best tool ever for ingratiating himself with the non-black leftists in this country.

Can’s say it would work with the Americans of African origin, because Obama is just not black enough.

Today in Washington, President Bush was asked about Oprah Winfrey’s latest selection for her Book of the Month Club.

The president said, “I’m a bit disappointed. Oprah’s selections are usually incredibly good, but I found this a bit lackluster.”

The Reverend Al Sharpton immediately attacked the president’s comments as racist, asking “What does know about books. He is just using this as an opportunity to attack a successful Black Woman."

Any “jab” at Obama will be called racist. That’s why he is the Magic Negro.
