I don’t read the LA Times...so I only read it after I heard the song. As a matter of fact, I though it was a really lousy story and not particularly well written. I certainly saw little connection between the author’s point and the song.
If you’re going to be consistent, raise hell at the LA Times and the author of the story instead shooting all your bullets at Rush and Paul Shanklin.
To me, it was one of Paul’s very best parodies. It is absolutely biting satire aimed at the Drive-By Media and their hypocrisy.
Almost all of the lyrics of the song come from that article or other comments that people on the left made about Barack Obama. Seriously. And Limbaugh's listeners would know that. What the mainstream media is doing is screaming about a title out of context because it contains a word that sounds racist but they are failing to do their job by not reporting the context, proving yet again how biased they are.
That said, conservatives should expect that that be more careful about what they say and do in the public so that they don't make it so easy for the mainstream media to put together "conservatives are a bunch of racists" hit pieces. Republicans are already assumed to be racist and while there are some who will never believe otherwise, a little more care might help convince those who can be convinced that it's not true.
