here's one for the Rush fans :D

[yermom]

Barack the Magic Negro :eek:

http://www.alternet.org/blogs/video/50979/

hopefully Al and Jesse will be on this one soon ;)

[85Sooner]

Yeah I heard it. funny stuff. I like the ted kennedy ones as well.

[Jerk]

yermom, do you know where the phrase "Barack the Magic Negro" came from?

I'll give you a hint: It wasn't Rush Limbaugh or any other talk radio host.

[yermom]

Imus didn't originate the "nappy headed hos" thing either, he was mostly repeating what a caller said and laughing about it

[royalfan5]

I was hoping for some Neil Peart in this thread.

[yermom]

that Rush sucks too ;)

[Jerk]

Liberals sure do believe in free speech!

(from the link Yermom provided)

"One thing I do appreciate is the strength of the Black and Brown people of this country. One more attack from the white man is not going to deter them. A lie is a lie no matter who spouts it. An insult is an insult. That being said lets try to get Rush off our airwaves. Contact his sponsors and boycott his channels. I do not get him where I live and would not listen even if I did. There must be a way to rid our country of this blight on humanity."

Oh yeah, there must be a way to silence the opposition to socialism!

Yeah, believe me, we know about the double standards of the left.

I'm on the right and take pot shots at Rush all the time as well. I just wanted to add that. Carry on.

he's just an idiot that says dumb **** so people will talk about him, sadly some people believe the ****e he spews

"Cho was a liberal" that's hilarious

What don't you like about what Rush says?

Personal responsibility?
Individual liberty?
Limited Government?
Free market economies?
The insanity of the moonbats?

I'm not saying everyone should agree 100% with the guy. But you make it sound like EVERTHING "he spews" is b.s.

Its not.

And btw, the phrase "Barrack the magic negro" originated from a very left-wing Los Angelos Times opinion editor.

i don't listen to him, maybe you share some of his ideals and then you think the jokes and **** he makes are funny

him and Coulter are just stirring **** up and making the country more divided than they already are but making exaggerated claims and hyperbolic statements about **** that people seem to take as gospel

if i knew more about what the libz were saying on the radio, i'd probably talk more about them being idiots too, but i really try to avoid those idiots just as much

[Fraggle145]

wow. :eek:

I thought you didn't listen to him. So how can you claim that about his statements? The reason the libz don't have shows that can come close to rush, hannity, boortz, savage, etc... is that they cannot discuss and defend their points with logic.

Boortz would seem to fit in well for all the people who claim to be libertarians. He's an athiest and he's pro-abortion rights. I mean, alot of people here say they're not liberals, but at the same time they hate Republicans because of the Religious Right, and Rush is bad because of this or that...Okay, then try listening to Neal Boortz and if you can't stand the guy, it probably means you should switch over to Air America. Oh wait, they went bancrupt:eek:

Easier said than done, I guess. All I do is drive around all day and listen to the radio.

I bet you would agree with him a lot more than disagree.

[Scott D]

I bet he'd benefit from taking a public speaking course, and by getting his deviated septum fixed.

It's not what he says that I have a problem with. It's the bumper-sticker demagoguery and the way he pretends not to be a party whore until another election rolls around and then he goes to bat for whoever is on that ballot taking the very principled position of, "any son of a bitch except our son of a bitch!"

[mikeelikee]

After the Imus flap the libz are screaming about reviving the Fairness Doctrine, which is anything but.

He was talking about Doleo.

[King Crimson]

After the Imus flap the libz are screaming about reviving the Fairness Doctrine, which is anything but.

actually, there was talk about the Fairness Doctrine before the Imus thing. there was a thread about it right here on the SO about, maybe, 2 months ago.

the FD is an anachronism based in the idea that in the age of broadcast media since there was spectrum scarcity contrasting views (or for most people today: "both sides") should be available on the public airwaves. with the proliferation of cable, internet, etc....the scarcity argument won't hold water.

However, the FD is basically the same rationale as FOX's motto: Fair and Balanced. So, pick yer poison carefully.

IIRC, Rush was taking bets on how long it would take for the phrase to be attributed to him, and of course he wasn't disappointed.

The people who don't listen to him and bash him to no end really have no idea what they're talking about. Hannity on the other hand is a whiny, talking point spewing, boring, broken record. He's unlistenable.

Hannity shot his wad after the GOP triumphalism of 02-03. He lacks any critical acumen, he's just a cheerleader. Rush, to his credit, can at least dissimulate with the best of them....and has a talent for language.

[royalfan5]

So would people say about Rush "that his mind is not for rent to any God or Government", and that "what you say about his company is what you say about society"?

i didn't attribute that to him, but that clip isn't exactly racially sensitive, it sounds like an aural version of blackface imitating Al Sharpton

i'd think that anyone airing that clip on their show would be pretty irresponsible

and how many of you saying that i should listen to Rush listened to Al Franken, or watched Fahrenheit 9/11?

i've seen and heard enough of Rush over the years to know i don't want to listen to his radio show. i'm surprised he's still on the air, actually, i don't know how he survived Clinton leaving office

[SicEmBaylor]

i'm surprised he's still on the air, actually, i don't know how he survived Clinton leaving office

He achieved nationwide radio success before Clinton was even elected.
The show wasn't built around Clinton although that was obviously the focus more times than not since Clinton was the President.

[JohnnyMack]

I think Rush is about as relevant as the last **** I took.

[royalfan5]

and he was in George Brett's wedding.

So, why are certain libs excempt from criticizm? The person who does the imitation of Al Sharpton for Rush's scripts actually sounds alot like Al Sharpton. It's a pretty good impression. Is it because he sounds 'black' that makes it racist? Dude, the stuff I see from the Daily Show, Comedy Central, et al, are no different.

It's very evident that there is a double standard.

[yermom]

i don't really watch much John Stewart either, but i don't think he's off the deep end like Rush is. The Daily Show is also a comedy show by design

i don't really think Rush should be off the air for that, i just think the idea of Al Sharpton taking aim at him would be funny :D

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

It's not what he says that I have a problem with. It's the bumper-sticker demagoguery and the way he pretends not to be a party whore until another election rolls around and then he goes to bat for whoever is on that ballot taking the very principled position of, "any son of a bitch except our son of a bitch!"I think you believe one should not vote unless you are almost 100% in agreement with the candidate. It makes sense to me to vote for the one who least offends, rather than let the one get elected who more or most offends.

you forgot to mention the excessive stammering and constant breathing loudly through his nose he does when he gets excited about a topic on the air. Truthfully it's amusing that he makes the current sitting President seem like a well polished public speaker, but yet is probably a thousand times more popular with the same political base.

[Harry Beanbag]

You're kidding right? Rush's average daily vocabulary usage includes words http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/images/icons/bush.gif has never heard of in his entire life.

Your above comments are BS(and you know it). Is it somehow humor to you?

[TheHumanAlphabet]

I tried posting this yesterday, but it didn't make...

I thought the sarcasm was hilarious, even with Al Sharpton on the megaphone...

Whether you like Rush or not, he does some funny parodies!

Edit:

Here is the link for the "Barak the Magic Negro" term...

what speaking the truth about the bastion of conservatism from atop the tower of the golden eib microphone?

You are right I don't listen to him. Because I can't stand his method of delivery. His stammering alone is akin to nails on a chalkboard to me. Blame it on the fact that I actually took a course that spent a period of time focusing on proper public speaking. Stammering unless you have a speech impediment is a sign that you have nothing to say at that moment and it's a pathetic attempt to fill dead air The same thing with anyone who says "um, uh, er" a lot in a conversation as well.

So yes, in a way his show *is* humor to me, namely because people are willing to hang on every word he says.

I wouldn't really call hosting a radio show that is almost 100% unscripted and off the cuff as public speaking, but that's just me.

I don't listen to his show everyday, not even close, but I have noticed the last few years that he does stammer a little more than he used to many years ago. It might have something to do with his pronounced hearing loss, and he has to wait for the screen that transcribes what people are saying to him (can't think what the thing is called right now) to catch up so he knows what is going on.

bummer on the hearing loss issue I guess. Problem is he stammers when he's going into a 10 minute long digression of something not involving an interview or caller, which leads that it at least starts as something scripted.

Sounds like he's got a ttd teleprompter.

I think the stammering is for effect, I can't recall the technical term for it. But I think it is the same as when he crumbles/crinkles paper to emphasize something he is going to read. I understand what you mean Scott, but with radio being a sound medium, there is few others ways to emphasize your point other than making some sort of sound.

Or he could just be a lousy communicator (which I doubt) or he could have problems with the teleprompter or what ever his transcription service is called.

or maybe he can't read very well anymore either so he stammers it as he reads ;)

[C&CDean]

Oxycontin will do that to a feller....

I pretty much agree with most of what Rush says. I just can't stand listening to him. He lost me a long time ago with all his self-worship silliness. Michael Savage (who I've probably listened to 3-4 times) is quickly becoming the next "I love me" dip**** on conservative radio.

[Scott D]

isn't everyone on radio a "I love me" dip****....except that kid who has the "I love me" dip**** steal those LWM commercials from him ;)

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Saw a show on A&E "Intervention" where a kid (23 or so) was addicted to oxycontin. He injected it. He wasn't deaf. I wonder how much you have to do or in what manner to lose your hearing like Rush.

I imagine that drugs and over eating along with probably no excercise has Rush, rushing down the same path as Elvis.

I agree with CCDean I agree with a lot of what he says but can't stand to listen to him.

It's like Bill Cosby said once it's in the presentation, listening to Rush is like eating a nice steak served on a garbage lid.

I like listening to O'Reilly but sometimes he's pretty hard to take as well.

Michael Savage is brilliant, but a rude SOB. I can only listen to him for a bit, and not very often.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Why are you convinced oxycontin is what caused his hearing loss?

Because he said it did and it is a known reaction to overmedication of oxycontin...

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Because he said it did...I didn't hear that. Musta been one of those rare times I wasn't listening to him.
