Barack Obama Placed Under Secret Service Protection

Embracing thinly veiled racism dressed up as a parody poking fun at liberals is (besides being hypocritical) a threat against civility.

 

Read the article that inspired the song and get back to me.

 

Thank God I haven't had the 1,000,000 buttons made yet.

 

You have incorrectly assumed that I have not.

 

seems like another republican plan to keep the black man down and under wraps.

 

Rush the Magic Junkie
Lives in his brain
He moans and groans and bellows and grunts
And we know he is insane

Rush the Magic Junkie
High on his pills
He says what whitey wants to hear
And the sponsors pay him still

 

nice - who cares what limbaugh thinks anyway? the guy is a hypocrite w/ no cred.

3 times divorce who rallies on about the sanctity of traditional marriage and a drug addict who used drugs illegally who is on record saying that all people who use drugs illegally should go to prison.

 

Now that's funny!

 

To Hell with Writers Block!!!

Damn I've been on a roll lately.....time to go to Coushatta...NOT!!!

 

the secret service offers protection to "major" presidential candidates, but only w/in 120 days of the election. it is possible that obama has had threats, but perhaps this is just more of a cautionary action.

 

Apparently some popular White Power web sites have been "jokingly" going off on how to take Obama out. One even calling on someone to pull a "Lincoln" on him.

 

That's sick. People like that have no place in society.

 

I imagine the reason he assumed you did not was actually a credit to you. He probably assumed that if you HAD read the original article you would reference it. In context Rush's remarks (in this one very unusual circumstance, and I hate the fact that I'm almost sort of defending him) are not nearly as offensive as they would be otherwise. As vile and repugnant as I believe Rush is there is a degree of hypocracy in repudiating his song while not mentioning the LA Times article.

 

The LA Time op-ed gave Rush an excuse for being blatantly racist.

If you read Obama Displays Maturity, Laughs Off "Barack the 'Magic Negro'" Song , you might notice that Rush spent a thousand words or so explaining why his racism was not really racism (much like Clinton re-defining the word "is").

And

Would it be stretch to say that these white supremists might be spurned on by the likes of Rush and his racist songs?

 

When a semi-legitimate medium like the the LA Times publishes an editorial that is as offensive as what Ehrenstein wrote, it deserves to be parodied. Based on his history, Rush probably shouldn't do it, because most people won't get his point, but someone should.

Yes.
