RUSH: I gotta play you this audio sound bite. I don't know where Cookie comes up with this stuff. I don't know how in the world we found a sound bite from WJAR TV in Providence, Rhode Island, but she found it. I don't know how in the world... I mean, I know we have satellite dishes and all kinds of stuff that records, but how in the world we would get this! It's irrelevant because we have it. It's an NBC affiliate, and the Sunrise News anchor, Frank Coletta [or Gene Valicenti, they look alike], reported this.
COLETTA or VALICENTI: Rush Limbaugh's latest dust up. The conservative talk king has been playing a song called, "Barack the Magic Negro" and now some critics say he should be fired just like Imus. Limbaugh's staff says he's been using the song parody for months and that the title is a direct quote [sic] from the Reverend Al Sharpton and that the uproar is unwarranted.
RUSH: It's not "a direct quote" from the Reverend Sharpton! We have been playing it for months, maybe weeks. It might be a month or a month and a half. Look, folks, here it is from March 19th -- I'm holding it in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers -- "Obama the 'Magic Negro' -- The Illinois senator lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man."
This is the third piece in the LA Times that dealt with Obama not being "black enough." It's the left that's the racists. It's the left that looks at people's skin color and doesn't see it for what it should be or what it is. They notice it. They're the ones that are racists out there. The guy that wrote this is a black man. His name is David Ehrenstein. He "writes about Hollywood and politics," it says here, and the whole point of his piece here is: Who is this Obama guy? He's been around for two years in the Senate. Nobody can possibly know him well enough to be giving him all this idolatry. So he's the "magic negro." He fits white racists' need to assuage their guilt.
So we see stuff like this, and it's a gold mine. Now, H.R., did you talk to anybody here from WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island, ever? Never have. So you couldn't have told them that this is "a direct quote" from the Reverend Sharpton. No, they didn't quote you, but I think they listened to the parody. It's classic. They didn't hear it on the program. They don't hear the days or hours or even the minutes of that particular show setting this up. They're like all these other lib people in the media. They sit out there and they go to other places to find out what happens on this show and others. They hear the song front-to-back without knowing anything about it and say, "My God!" They're even ripping Paul Shanklin now. He's a "white comedian." Oh, yeah, Paul Shanklin. Here, you have the song? Here, let's listen. If you people in the media think that this is gonna lead to anything other than my getting even bigger and more popular, you have another thing coming. Just to give you a little taste of it.
Listen to the lyrics, if any lib media people are here, as the lyrics explain the whole bit. They explain the whole tune.
