Rush Limbaugh tries to outdo Imus with "Barack the Magic Negro" song
Fresh on the heels of former radio host Dom Imus' "nappy-headed hos" remark directed at the women's collegiate basketball team from Rutgers, and his firing for same, along comes syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh playing a parody on his program in which an Al Sharpton impersonator sings a song "filled with idiotic assumptions about black people and dripping with ignorance called 'Barack the Magic Negro'." It has some people up in arms, while others are responding with mere comments like "That's typical Rush...he's an idiot...he's a racist...etc." Meanwhile, Adam Howard from The Nation.com, has expressed his take on the incident in his blog column, which you can read by going here.

One of the writers over at Highbrid Nation posted Rush's "Magic Negro" song and did a nice post about this little issue. I personally never liked Rush. He's not funny or articulate and I think he is borderline racist if not just flat out racist. I have have a feeling he is the worst kind of racist though, the kind that doesn't know he is one. I'd rather him not say anything involving the race of others because he never comes correct.
