There was a song parody called "Barack the Magic *****" on Rush Limbaugh's show recently.

Have you heard of this? And how the hell does he still have a job, especially in light of the Imus incident?

Most of the listening I do on radio is music. Imus, Limbuagh, Hannity, O'Reily and all those talking heads are just talk entertainers and I'm just not into that. The problem with most of these trash talking idiots is the following they have, which somehow makes some people think they're actually credible journalists, and that's the real tragedy here. Broacast news, whether it be radio or TV depends strictly on the source. So when I turn the radio on, I'd much rather hear John Lennon sing, Give Peace a Chance, than these stupid idots who think they know better.

you cry babies just don't get.
If you don't like him turn Rush off!
Personally, I heard it and laughed out loud while sitting in a drive through waiting for my lunch. I bet people inside the establishment thought I was nuts.
Would you be as insulted if you heard a black character on "Dora the Explorer" call a white kid a "Cracka"? Because it happened. Now isn't this indoctrinating our children with racial hatred? Or does it only matter if we 're picking on blacks?
This double standard is really starting to get old.

Let the witch hunt begin, it is the McCarthy hearing all over again, let us hunt down anyone who says anything we dont agree with and get them fired. I have a solution, this way no one can ever be offended, BAN EVERYTHING! Ban free thought because it could lead to someone saying something original that may offend, ban Disney films because they give us a falls sense of happiness, BAN EVERYTHING! Because anyti can offend someone. I dont like Rush, that is why I dont listen, I suggest others do the same.

Do you listen to him? Obviously no.
The magic ***** comment was a parody on an article by an LA Times reporter who used the comment.
Here is the article.

How is this racist? He pokes fun at ALL the democrats, barack's color has nothing to do with it. "But it says *****" so what? The song really pokes fun at Sharpton, which I don't think anyone minds. Are you saying he is excluded from criticism because he's black? If so, you are the racist.

Don't worry; Rush is on his way out. It's just a matter of time.

They should get rid of both of them. Imus is old as dirt and Limbaugh is a hippocrite, regardless of how much weight he's lost, he's still a whining fat (donkey) who talks more trash than he can pick up.

So, you think Rush should fire himself?
