You would accept as an explanation/defense that Limpballs didn't coin the term; ergo, his use of it is not racist.<br /><br />Really? Is this what passes for logic in Bizarro World, where you obviously live?<br /><br />Oh, and since he said it 27 times, he no doubt meant it as "satire", as defined by the leading dim bulb of the wingnut set, Caribou Barbie. You know, like when he used "retarded" 42 times without being offensive to retarded people and their families.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Kh7nLplWo" rel="nofollow">What a maroon!</a>David in NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493832668051350697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-87851041876968622582010-03-09T13:53:19.065-08:002010-03-09T13:53:19.065-08:00Steve-O...Are you that brain washed with liberal t...Steve-O...Are you that brain washed with liberal think or simply ignorant? I believe it is both. You are telling us you are so out of the political loop (aside from the D&C blog) that you did not know that an L.A. Times writer was the first to used this term.<br /><br />On the March 19 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, host Rush Limbaugh highlighted a March 19 Los Angeles Times op-ed that described Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) as "running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination -- the 'Magic Negro'" -- a term used by critics of pop culture to describe certain benevolent African-American characters. Limbaugh stated: "The term 'Magic Negro' has been thrown into the political presidential race in the mix for 2008. And the term 'Magic Negro,' as applied to Barack Obama has been done by an L.A. Times columnist, David Ehrenstein." <br /><br />Limbaugh later asserted: "I'm going to keep referring to him as that because I want to make a bet that by the end of this week I will own that term," adding, "If I refer to Obama the rest of the day as the 'Magic Negro,' there will be a number of people in the drive-by media and on left-wing blogs who will credit me for coming up with it and ignore the L.A. Times did it, simply because they can't be critical of the L.A. Times, but they can, obviously, be critical of talk radio." Limbaugh continued to refer to Obama as the "Magic Negro" throughout the broadcast -- 27 times, to be exact -- and at one point sang "Barack, the Magic Negro" to the tune of "Puff, the Magic Dragon." Limbaugh defended his use of the song, stating, "Well, that's what we always do here. We do parodies and satires on the idiocy and phoniness of the left."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-31859405638223375442010-03-08T23:00:48.463-08:002010-03-08T23:00:48.463-08:00Just as they continue to deny that ACORN has ever ...<i>Just as they continue to deny that ACORN has ever done anything wrong.

If he had said "Obama sure likes to eat him some watermelon", now that would be racist. Dan Rather is talking about his inability to sell something that people want to buy (in his analogy he used watermelons as an example of something that should be easy to sell). Are you being willfully ignorant or are you really that stupid? Maybe intellectually dishonest? If you truly think that was a racist statement then your just a plain old idiot.<br /><br />There's a big difference between what Rather said and someone like Rush Limbaugh playing "Barack the Magic Negro". <br /><br />Oh, and one more thing, no one is saying that ACORN never did anything wrong. But when will you fools learn that an organization as big as ACORN probably has some employess/volunteers/associates that have done bad things. The ridiculous charges levelled at ACORN by the far-right morons like breitbart (and have all been proven false) say a lot more about the buffoons on the right than they do about ACORN.Steve-Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-69485366383891433592010-03-08T19:06:00.071-08:002010-03-08T19:06:00.071-08:00Chris Matthews tries to cover up what Dan Rather...Chris Matthews tries to cover up what <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO-xqiG9LOc" rel="nofollow"> <b> Dan Rather </b></a> had to say about Obama and watermelons. <br /><br />Again...imagine if Rush Limbaugh or any other conservative had said this. Lefty racism is very much alive though they deny that it exists within their ranks. Just as they continue to deny that ACORN has ever done anything wrong. They are truly an above board organization. ACORN is squeaky clean, and we should believe this because the liberals say it is so. If you disagree with a liberal, you are flat ass wrong, end of story.<br /><br />What Dan Rather actually said if you have not heard the entire clip:<br /><br />Part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama's leadership. And the Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument. "Listen he just hasn't been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death." And a version of, "Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate" this is what's been used against him, <b><i>"but he couldn't sell watermelons</i></b> if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-28499961037366436402010-03-08T13:37:17.492-08:002010-03-08T13:37:17.492-08:00Yes, because working with a group that tries to ge...Yes, because working with a group that tries to get poor people to vote is BAD!
