Rush Getting No Respeck

Update: I just wanted to point out that rumor has it Hillary will be doing the Sharpton voice in the future as she continues to gain more experience.

What I think is that the neo-fascist liberal losers are now clearly on a witch hunt to take down anyone they can. They just can't deal with Limbaugh's popularity. Click below to hear what they're selling in the Left's latest attempt to silence free speech.

The items are all old now. I linked the Magic Negro bit over a month ago. Other members of the new thoughtless police claim:

UPDATE: I've anonymously confirmed that stations around the country who carry the show are having concerns expressed by listeners and even their own workers of color about the Obama parody, and the ensuing controversy in the media, and that respective managements are considering ways to address the matter with as little Imus-like backlash as possible,..This is starting to boil over…

I suspect what losers like these do anonymously is troll schoolyards and mens rooms looking for prey when they aren't spending all of their time monitoring conservative talk radio for a target. Given the lack of timeliness for the material, clearly they are simply attempting to amass as much as possible and claim that it's boiling over in an attempt to make it so.

What they should do is read up on McCarthy and realize that America has only so much tolerance for un-American tactics like this attacking free speech. Eventually even the mainstream media will turn on these clowns, as they should.

"I suspect what losers like these do anonymously is troll schoolyards and mens rooms looking for prey when they aren't spending all of their time monitoring conservative talk radio for a target."

Too Much Information.

So let me see if I have the new rules straight. It is alright for people on the left to use words like "magic negro", oreo, Uncle Tom and house ni**er (self censorship there) but people on the right are not allowed to even quote those people without being called racist. Do I have that straight, is that the way things are now going to work?

So one more time, for those who missed it.

Criticize AIPAC and you're a raving anti-Semite.
Play "Barak the Magic Negro" on national radio and you're just engaging in good-hearted satire of a liberal commentator.

I think this is a classic case of IOKIARDI. Rush gets a free pass because he's rich, famous, and conservative. TPM is none of the above. People who object to this system are filthy pedophile traitors who hate America.

Also, people who don't laugh at this eight-rate attempt at comedy only fail to double over laughing because they're secretly racists themselves.

I mean, that's the biggest joke in all this. Rush doesn't have one-tenth the comic genius of Al Franken, and Al Franken is a TOTAL HACK. The Half-Hour News Hour, Ann Coulter calling people fags, and "Barak the Magic Negro" in surround sound. This is the highlight of conservative comic genius.

I wonder if these far left wing fanatical kooks even realize that Rush is paroding their vicious and sick racism? All he does is repeat exactly what rich white liberals say. It's a case of the left projecting their sick racism on their opponents.

Nah, you're not bigoted. And it's not like you go in for cheap abuse. And it doesn't matter at all that a big part of Rush Limbaugh's audience loves dat ol' racial humor ...

"a big part of Rush Limbaugh's audience loves dat ol' racial humor"

Didn't you mean Michael Richard's audience?

Possibly he meant Robert Byrd's "audience."

Knobby should know: "they're secretly racists themselves."
As a proven racist and homophobe, tell us dear Nobby...Was the link you threw up to the homophobic cartoon in these comments (Ziffy has no known blog himself,he likes riding Dan's coattails) because you are "secretly" homophobic or gay? I get so confused by the endless double standards of your "logic" and "intelligence" that I am at odds.
The boundless "nuance" of the fact that you are a thoughtless, mindless, moron "troll" makes me to wonder how the logorythym of your "thinking" works. Love to know, dolt, how you linking to a homophobic cartoon or deriding middle Easteners is "satire" whereas obvious satire by Rush et al is PROOF of our collective racism? Please elaborate, tool, we are all breathless to read it...

[southdakotaboy]

So leftists think everybody that is a conservative is racist yada yada yada. We need to just stop listening to these people when they say these things. We don't need to defend ourselves against this. The left has so overplayed the race card it is no longer effective. I don't care if some one on the left thinks I'm a racists. They are full of it and are just a bunch of blathering idiots who have no actual points or facts.

Lefty rules of game:

Make humor on a conservative constituency (Southerners, Christians, Rednecks). Ten points.

Make humor on a liberal constituency (Blacks, homosexuals, teachers). Go to jail.

Rush is a bigoted, drug-addled asswipe. So naturally Riehl comes--and I do mean COMES--to his defense.

[Zifnab]

"Didn't you mean Michael Richard's audience?"

Yes. Quick, let's all tune into the Michael Richard's radio show broadcast across the nation to millions of listeners. What an audience? How does he manage to pack them all in?

:-p Nice try, but you'd have had better luck with Sharpton or Jackson. At least they're actually syndicated.

[Althor]

Too bad Al Jolson is dead, if not he could have coached Hillary and she could do more than just the accent. She'd smear some black shoe polish all over her face and hands, dye black and curl her hair until it is good and nappy, and then the "nappy headed hoe" could kneel in front of her black audiences and break their hearts singing them "Mamie" all teary-eyed...and then go play some basketball at Rutgers.

It's the Viagra Rush sends him.

Yeah, let's all quickly tune into Al Franken's radio show (oh wait, he's not on that bankrupt radio network anymore is he - where is his radio program found again? - I can't seem to find it).

Earth to Liberals... WHAT, exactly, was the Los Angeles Times intent in its reference to Senator Obama as "The Magic Negro"? It was THEIR use of that term that motivated Rush Limbaugh (actually Paul Shamklin) to do the parody.

But of course, Liberals have NEVER used a parody of ANY Conservative on THEIR programs, right? Saturday Night Live has NEVER done a parody on, say, President Bush or Rush Limbaugh, right?

This criticism comes from the same crowd who complained that Rush Limbaugh was calling Senator Obama "Osama Obama", when it was, in fact, Senator Kennedy (in what can only be described as a TYPICALLY drunken sounding state). Yes, Rush Limbaugh repeated it, and there was a parody song (again, by Paul Shanklin).

Remember, folks, it was NOT Rush Limbaugh (or any other Conservative) who called the Rutgers basketball players "nappy-headed hos". That was LIBERAL Don Imus. And before you say it, NO, he was NOT fired for his comments. He was FIRED because the program's ADVERTISERS were pulling their FINANCIAL SUPPORT (so goes the dollar, so goes Don Imus).

If Rush Limbaugh's SPONSORS are offended by his parodies, I'm sure they'll drop his program (like Don Imus' did his).

The PROBLEM (for you Liberals) is that YOU are the only ones making a big deal out of this (NO ONE ELSE GIVES A RAT'S ASS about the hypocrisy of the LA Times [opinion] versus Rish Limbaugh [parody]).
