“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

"Barak the Magic Negro"--racist or fair political satire?

I guess it was only a matter of time before the media discovered this satirical piece from Rush's show, and pretended to be outraged by it....



On March 19, 2007, the LA Times ran this op/ed in which Barak Obama as the "Magical Negro" is named. Nobody got upset then, why now? Rush has been playing this song since March. And he didn't invent the term "magic negro". It's been around for a long time and refers to the mythical black politician who's supposed to transcend the stereotype whites have of unelectable, hyper-sexualized black men and who makes whites, by their voting for him, feel less guilty about slavery. This applies only to dumb, white liberals, white conservatives would never fall for such hooey.

The satire is more about lampooning Al Sharpton(the singer in this clip), the LA Times, and skewering silly whites for feeling guilty about slavery and segregation, than it is about Obama. I think it's hilarious, totally appropriate, and well within the bounds of acceptable political satire. The manufactured outrage we're seeing now is just the latest, idiotic attack by the liberal media trying to perpetuate the myth that republicans are racists.

THE NAME ALONE IS INFLAMMATORY. WHY DOES RACE HAVE TO BE INVOLVED WHEN AN AFRICAN AMERICAN IS BEING SPOKEN OF. FOR YOU TO ACCEPT THIS AND FEEL ITS OKAY SHOWS WHERE YOU ARE AT PERSONALLY. HOW ABOUT BUSH THE LYING CRACKER.
