RUSH: Well, let me tell you about the roots of this. There was a columnist in the Los Angeles Times named David Ehrenstein, and on Monday, he wrote a piece about Barack is the "magic negro." He claimed that there is, in the black culture, this term "magic negro." His point in this column was that Barack Obama is not authentic. He hasn't been down for the struggle. Plus he's not been around long enough for people to know what he actually stands for substance-wise, and so white people who are supporting Barack are simply doing so to assuage their white guilt over the transgressions in the past in this country, such as slavery and so forth. So his theory is that Barack coming along, he's black and that's all that matters. Nobody cares what he stands for. Nobody knows what he stands for.

It was a column, essentially, accusing white people supporting Obama of being racist because they don't care what he stands for and don't care what he's going to do. The fact that he's black is enough for them, to make them not feel guilty as long as they say they support him, and that was the definition of "magic negro." Now, on this program, we made it a big point to point out that it was -- and this columnist is black, by the way, David Ehrenstein is black, and he used the term, which is why it says so in the lyric line of the song. So we're just highlighting what the left says. I believe they're the true racists. I believe they're the ones that look at people and notice whatever is different about them from white liberals. Either they're black or they're gay or they're Hispanic or whatever. They immediately group people, and most of them happen to be victims. Yet we conservatives are the ones, Uriah, who get tarred and feathered with these allegations.

ID pwns Damo!

Ice Dancer just jizzed in damo's face.

Except he didn't. I explained that the columnist was black and that taking that extra special step to make the song and then saying, "They did it first!" is not an excuse, it is an admission.

You just suck at reading.

Which again says nothing more than what I already acknowledged. That it was an article by a black dude, but that it still doesn't make it okay to say, "See? He did it first!" is an admission, not a reason, as any parent would know.

Had he left it at this explanation, all would be good. Instead he had a song made, overplayed it, and pushed more than just an envelope, he ran and jumped into the same pond, splashed around and said, "It's okay, Mom! Johnny was here first!"

Except Rush didn't say that "he did it first" as some sort of excuse. He said the song was born out of what opinions are already out there on the left. It was parody and satuire about what WAS already said and being said!

CALLER: Okay. Yeah, so that was my question there. You know, I feel like as a country that we should definitely be propelling forward, and this generation, and bringing light to the rest of this world.

RUSH: Well, I can tell you think the term negro is inappropriate, that it's old hat and shouldn't be used, that it's divisive and this sort of thing, and you may have a point, but remember what we do on this program. We illustrate absurdity by being absurd, and the other element of this is that Sharpton has been quoted in the New York Post as being jealous that Obama is getting all this support as a black presidential candidate. Remember, Joe Biden said, "Hey, we got the first clean, articulate, intelligent black guy running for president." How do you think this makes Sharpton feel? He's run for president twice. How do you think it's going to make the Reverend Jackson feel? So the story was that there's a little jealousy out there. So, these two things just fit together. It was like a harmonic convergence here on this, Uriah. Now that you know the context and the details, let's listen together to Al Sharpton and "Barack the Magic Negro."

Again, must I read my own posts to you before hers that stated that it was from an article from another person who was black? Are you really too lazy to simply scroll up?

Pointing out what I already stated as a retort is just weak. Especially when it was cut/pasted.

No. The point, as is often times the point Limbaugh makes, is provided a black person does the slandering and the race baiting, it's perfectly fine. White people are not allowed to comment, opine, or offer anything with your logic.

Rush, or anyone, cannot comment on it really?

Christ Damo. You need to get off this board and breathe clean air.

Your responses are sad, and have already been answered, they are weak because they seek to defend something that is recognizably indefensible.

"They do it too" notwithstanding.

The argument is this. Once it is in the media, it's fair game. Rush points out the hypocrisy. That it is in poor taste is indisputable. That it is rendered untouchable because someone's moral sensiblities are shook is just plain lame.

No, the point is, doing wrong TOO doesn't make it right.

As I stated, commenting and pointing it out is okay (again, people who only read part of what is said by another then pretend that the rest doesn't exist). Expounding and expanding it... not so much.

BS! His intent was/is clear to intellectually honest persons. He wished to highlight the hypocrisy and actual racism that exists on the left. He used the opinions and words of a liberal black columnist to make that point...That's what Rush DOES! You don't have to like it. Not liking it however is not PROOF of racism, especially in light of how it was used and explained.

He doesn't point it out, he participates.

Pointing it out was the first statement, making the song and expanding upon it, stretching it even further is no longer pointing it out it is participating too. Reveling in the "Now we are free to say what we shouldn't because THEY DID TOO!"

Again, doing wrong TOO does not make what you are doing wrong the same as doing right. As any parent in the world would know when their five year old stands and says, "But Johnny was doing it too!" Crocodile tears streaming down their face.

Well it's a good thing we know what opinions are all about. I find it equally sad that you still believe we live in a Pollyana world where the right thing gets said and everyone holds hands and sings Kum-by-ah.

This ain't 1/10th as bad as the vile excrement that was heaped upon GWB the last 8 years over and over and if it's payback time, then too effin' bad! Pull up your big boy pants Obama. This is the real deal!

*Here's a hanky for your tears of sadness*

He didn't do it becaue they did it too! He did it because they did it period! He wished to highlight the inner turmoil and racism that exists on the left BASED on what the columnist himself said! That you didn't like it is fine...but stick to the facts when it comes to assigning motive.

Who said anything about Kum-ba-yah?

You are one simple person. Either I ignore something that I know went too far or I'm a liberal sitting around pretending everybody is going to join in Kum-ba-yah...

You live in the land of extremes, simple in nature, incapable of understanding that sometimes conservatives can understand that what he did most definitely stepped over a line that he shouldn't have crossed. Point out the hypocrisy, don't revel and participate in it. I will consistently point it out, even when it is Rush who participates.

Please, the only reason he thought that the song would be "okay" is because "they did it too!"

The song was a step too far. Point out the hypocrisy = good. Participate in race baiting idiocy that will be quoted for the next century (even if you say it is out of context) = not good.

And people wonder why black people vote against their personal beliefs...

 

[Timshel]

That's your position? It wasn't sourced, but we should still believe them???

Desperate to believe the worst...pathetic.

Every broadcast Rush has done is available in one form of media or another. If they were based in fact they'd be sourced...period!

Clearly, I said, they were unreliable. I would not use them, without better sources. But that is far from your positive assertion that they were all made up. You have no proof for that and going on a rant calling a slanderer and a liar is not warranted.
