Limbaugh sings "Obama the Magic negro"

Well I have heard the term "magic negro" bandied about for a certain type of movie. The golf one that had will smith in it was the one that caused the term to be mentioned.
 
When hear "negro" I think black. Isn't there some other conservative radio douchebag calling Obama "Halfrican-American." I guess they haven't figured out exactly the best method to slime him.
 
"So your attempt to assuage all of your white guilt by supporting Obama is worthless because you're just -- you're just exhibiting racism because you know he's not a real black. As Biden said, he's clean and articulate."

Russ, you're a great American. No, wait, what's that other word?

Douche.

No, I believe that is the same conservative radio douchebag.

Actually, for two reasons, I believe he should be referred to as an enema bag.
1) Douchebag may tend to be sexist. AND
2) Like my suggestion, he brings out the srule8 onto everyone.
 
His delivery with all those pregnant pauses makes a disgusting text even more disgusting.

Maybe he'll go the way of Imus.
 
I think you all missed the point.

From TFA:
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."

Apparently, the experiment worked...

If you read TFA from MMA, its actually very precise highlighting that Limbaugh thought the original op-ed was BS since it was asserting that white people want to vote for Obama to assuage white guilt. While I am sure that is true in a few cases, I doubt it is the case in general.

That would only be true if they had credited him with coming up with the phrase, which MMFA did not do and, in fact, they provided the full context. I don't know what TFA said specifically.

....or, for that matter, who "TFA" is.

eta: From what I've seen, all that Limbaugh's experiment showed is that his critics aren't stupid. I'd be tempted to extrapolate further about who it did show was stupid, but that might be stretching it.

The man is simply beneath contempt and O'Reilly is not far behind.
 
Rush's point is absolutely stupid. So what if another paper came up with the term, that doesn't mean he's any less racist for using the term himself.

I have to wonder how many other people will conclude that Limbaugh "got" MMFA simply because they wrote an article on what he said rather than realizing that they didn't fall for his bait? I'm guessing that most of his listeners won't bother to look into it, which is probably what he was counting on.

TFA stands for "The Fantastic Article". Its a cousin of RTFM or "Read the Fantastic Manual".

In this case, Limbaugh was betting his usage of the term would be noted whereas the original hadn't created a stir. He said that he would own the term and indeed even though MMFA puts it fully in context, their headline creates a different impression.

'Latching onto L.A. Times op-ed, Limbaugh sings "Barack, The Magic Negro"' implies that it's Limbaugh's term?

Sorry, even though I read TFA, I got its headline and the title of this thread "Limbaugh sings "Obama the Magic negro"" confused.
 
What is the question here, I mean, the point of this thread? Limbaugh has supported black candidates, female candidates, all kinds of shapes and sizes of candidates, as long as he believes in their message.

So is this fuss all about "Imus got canned, so let's get Rush fired?" Because the truth is that in America a candidate's religion, gender, race, height, and hair style are used as a measuring stick by voters, for better or worse, usually worse. Clearly Obama's race plays an enormous role in how he is being scrutinized by potential voters and donors. It is fair game for Limbaugh to mock the sanctimony of those caught in Obama's spell due to his race.

And again, again, again, if you don't like the radio show, don't listen.
