CBS 13 IN SACRAMENTO - they are "dealing with the Limbaugh 'Magic Negro' situation"
CBS, LIMBAUGH ^ | 5-6-07 | dfu

Posted on 05/07/2007 11:35:28 AM PDT by doug from upland

The Newsroom at CBS 13 in Sacramento, CA is monitoring the Rush Limbaugh show today. They may be somewhat concerned.

CBS, as you recall, is the network that promoted phony National Guard documents to try to influence a presidential election.

I just spoke to the newsdesk in Sacramento. They are aware that Limbaugh has been talking about them today and giving warnings that they had better remove a video about "Barack the Magic Negro" that someone put on YouTube. Limbaugh had nothing to do with the production.

CBS 13 has a poll underway asking if Limbaugh's parody is racist. They did a 2-part series about it and are trying to cause some controversy.

The woman at the newsdesk has been informed that the term "Barack the Magic Negro" did not originate with Limbaugh. It originated with the leftist Los Angeles Times. According to her, they are "taking everything into consideration and dealing with the Limbaugh 'Magic Negro' situation."

The press is often allowed to get away with this nonsense because some people are powerless to stop it. They took on the wrong guy this time.

That story is so full of misspellings, typos, mistakes, mischaracterizations and downright falsehoods that it cannot be called journalism. Did these fools graduate from grade school?

Called the newsroom...asked why they weren’t highlighting the fact that it was a PARODY of an article run in the LASlimes? The idiot answering the phone said they were. “Chris held up a newspaper clipping” suggesting this was their so caleed “reporting”.

I listen to Rush frequently and have heard “Barack the Magic Negro” and think it is hilarious! The left were able to take Imus down because he is one of them and responded just as they wanted him to. It won’t work on Rush or any of the hosts on the right.

I care not one bit about Imus, never listen to him and think he is an idiot. If he were to leave for any REGULAR reason, I would never miss him. As it is, however, I am angry that he was railroaded on what is a 1st amendment issue. I could care LESS that he called the basketball players “nappy headed hos”- So what? SO WHAT? The only pathetic part in all this is the whining from those who believe ANYONE is defined by what a jerk like Imus says about them.

There is no such thing as “hate speech”- there is only speech the LEFT doesn’t like or agree with.

Excuse me, I got my newsmakers confused. The first word of the tune was “Obama.”Barack.

The author of the article in the LA Times is on the radio now being interviewed.

Says that “Magic Negro” is someone who comes out of nowhere to help white people. E.g. Morgan Freeman coming to rescue of Ashley Judd, etc. Someone who is nonthreatening. Creation of this character is opposite of stereotype that blacks are slow or sexual. Someone who is a benign figure.

That Obama is the black man come to rescue Americans from George W. Bush.

Now interviewer asks the author what he thinks of the parody, Barack the magic negro. Says that Rush is bating people. Rush wants to bring it up to the edge — daring people to object.

Interviewer says she can’t understand where he stands on Obama.

Author of LA Times article answers. Says he supports some of what Obama says but doesn’t know if Obama will go far enough.

Out of time. Released radio.

Hey, if the shoe fits, stuff it in your mouth.

Rush threw a no-hitter today and I am sure the incident that took down Trent Lott was also foremost in his mind.

Rush has alway said that when one is ever falsely accused of racisim, if you don't fight it with every ounce of your energy, you are doomed........

This was a very timely event, since when does Rush ever give consideration to anything any local radio station ever says or does????????

Today was a huge victory!

So, exactly when did calling someone a negro become racist??
On the precise day when they announced that they were "black" - previously a loaded term, which they appropriated in order to take away its sting.

Yes and no...The so called reporters are taking the line "WE'RE JUST ASKING?" Yet the innuendo is very, very clear. We win when they apologies and attribute the parody to the LASlimes which is something they still haven't explained to their viewers.
