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.

The Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. “He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist,” reads the description on

I sent them an E-Mail congratulating them for their high rating on Limbaugh’s poll - LOL!!!
The left started the Imus nonsense in order to set the stage for going after the real targets: Rush, Savage and Hannity. They know full well that their fellow leftists will make a lot of fuss and that other leftist media outlets will join in.
Rush is simply repeating what was said by a journalist. I thought the phrase went "Don't shoot the messenger"?
Rush hasn’t had this much guts since his condom on the microphone days.
I would like to believe that. But I have had too many encounters with the jello bellied saps of my own party who steadfastly refuse to tangle.
They think they are “too good to stoop to that level”.
And I say, read my tagline.
I worked the Republican trenches in the east part of PA, and learned all my dirty tricks from Fast Eddie’s union thugs.
I practice what they preach, and damn is it fun.
The alternative is to cringe silently before the left. Mocking them is much more effective -- and fun, too.
I just voted. It is now 96% no. lol!
Obama the ‘Magic Negro’
The Illinois senator lends himself to white America’s idealized, less-than-real black man.

AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.
But it’s clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the “Magic Negro.”

“Interesting results for a liberal media poll.”
