		<description>I hope that all of you idiots understand that Rush Limbaugh is absolutely correct. These so call conservative pundits are nothing but moderates who suck up to Liberal democrats. How stupid are you people?
Liberals and Moderates really need to get a grip on life. I don&#039;t want Big Government telling me what I can and can&#039;t do. I don&#039;t want Big Government taking away more and more of my liberty and freedom. I&#039;m a minority being a black conservative male and I want all of Obama policies to FAIL.

No God in schools but children are allowed to sing praises to Obama. Have they forgotten what this country was built on? Our U.S. currency says In God We Trust not In Obama we trust. He lies constantly and I’m ashamed of all my black brothers and sisters who are ignorant to believe everything Obama say and does. Or simply don’t care because he looks like us. I’m sick to death of my people being taking for a ride by big Government. too many of us just don’t get it. we will never advance as long as you let someone else take care of you instead of striving to do better for yourself. when I heard those ladies on TV who are homeless and they were going to participate in the program to help them get a home. I was embarrassed by the words they spoke. how could they not know where the money was coming from? But as Rush said these women are model citizens in Obama utopia world.</description>

		<description>The song &quot;Barack the Magic Negro&quot; was a parody of a column in the LA Times by a black columnist named David Ehrenstein.  The title of the column was &quot;Obama the Magic Negro,&quot; published on March 19, 2007, and Ehrenstein&#039;s argument is that Obama is not a &quot;real&quot; black person, because his articulateness makes guilty whites comfortable.  &quot;If he were real,&quot; Ehrenstein writes--remember that Ehrenstein is black--&quot;white America couldn&#039;t project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him.&quot;  

The song was also a parody of a comment made by Joe Biden, which was that in Obama America had for the first time a &quot;clean, articulate&quot; black candidate (as opposed to all those other previous unclean, inarticulate black candidates, such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or Shirley Chisholm).

So who&#039;s the real racist here?  Ehrenstein and Biden for writing this kind of stuff, or Rush for making fun of it?

Listen to the words of the song:

Barack the Magic Negro lives in DC
The LA Times, **THEY** called him that ...

The black columnist for the Los Angeles Times, not Rush Limbaugh, called Obama a &quot;magic negro.&quot;</description>

		<description>I have watched Glenn Beck and listened to Rush Limbaugh and they are both idiots who don&#039;t care what affect their hate mongering may have on people who &quot;don&#039;t get&quot; their tongue-in-cheek rants. Please, give me a break. All you have to do is read the signs that people were waving on the Washington Mall on Saturday and it&#039;s obvious that race has a lot to do with opposition to Obama&#039;s policies. (I suppose you think that Limbaugh&#039;s &quot;Barack the magic negro&quot; wasn&#039;t racist either?) Wake up and watch something besides FOX News for a change.</description>

		<description>&quot;Rush, Hannity, Beck aren&#039;t talking &#039;tongue-in-cheek&#039; about anything.  Those disclaimers are on their shows to cover their tracks.&quot;

Guess sarcasm and irony are dead.  They have an honorable pedigree in literature, but now they have been rendered politically incorrect, by people who take things entirely too seriously.  Language is poorer now.  We are all humorless.</description>

		<description>@Ramzad, we might need to roll up our sleeves but that one sound-bite Senator&#039;s 3 seconds disrupts the work flow until it stops. There is no such thing as bipartisanship. The right fringe won&#039;t allow anything to be signed despite thousands of hours and compromise. To he$$ with the American people as long as they can show the President who is boss. 

Rush, Hannity, Beck aren&#039;t talking &#039;tongue-in-cheek&#039; about anything. Those disclaimers are on their shows to cover their tracks. When the Great Experiment of America fails, won&#039;t it be sad to look back and see it was Rush- full of bigotry, hatred and vote rigging that brought about its demise. And that truly is not giving the man too much credit. Just look at what happened when Gingrey called him out... Gingrey, a U.S. Representative, MY representative, went sniveling back the next day. When I wrote him a letter saying that Gingrey was right and Rush wasn&#039;t owed the apology, Gingrey wrote me back to say that he couldn&#039;t afford.to offend all those listeners and they deserved his apology. And that&#039;s Rush&#039;s power. Millions plus listening platform, more than the registered Republican Party. So do something about King Rush? Nobody can touch him and he knows it. We should pray for an Imus moment where he&#039;ll self-implode.</description>

		<description>Liberals! 

We are spending too much time recognizing people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glen Beck. They are not worth it. These are guys who were washed until hate radio threw them a bone called identity. These are nobodys that could not fid their way out of a paper bag to help with third grade homework. We, however, have serious work to do helping to improve this country. After eight years of Republican frauds the Nation is in shambles. Our schools do not educate. We are all becoming indentured servants to the Chinese. We can&#039;t make a decent car. Our banks have become criminal syndicates. Our young men and women are dying at the rate of almost five per day in two wars, one of which is our modern Vietnam. Getting a sick American to a doctor  takes an act of Congress and a pretty slice of the defense budget. Much of our big cities look like Dickensian hovels. Gunshots are shredding the national psyche. Our engineers are spending more time redesigning Twinkie boxes than solving differential equations, and one low a low bite Republican congressman has just spat into the serving plate of national discourse. Liberals, are you all crazy? Why are we still talking about these hate mongering dog and pony shows?  We are in charge. Get over it and roll up your sleeves.</description>
