March, 2007 - "Barack The Magic Negro" Debuted On Rush Limbaugh

The MSM is appalled again. RNC candidate Chip Saltsman’s sent Christmas greetings to committee members and included a music CD making fun of liberals. Titled "We Hate the USA", it includes a song called “Barack the Magic Negro” as well as "John Edwards Poverty Tour", "Wright Place, Wrong Time", and other goofy titles.

Rush Limbaugh first played "Barack the Magic Negro" on his show almost two years ago. The song title came from LA Times op-ed piece titled "Obama, the Magic Negro".

AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.

But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the "Magic Negro."

The Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. "He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist," reads the description on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro.

The MSM would do well to research the reason behind this song instead of making complete fools out of themselves. Obama even thought the song was funny.

(Emphasis by Good Lt): I think it is important to remind the idiots in the mainstream media and on the left - of whom there is no shortage - that this phrase originated from a LIBERAL columnist. David Eherenstein is a LIBERAL columnist for the LA Times, you adorable little fact-challenged journalists and leftards. The operative word here is LIBERAL COLUMNIST DAVID EHERENSTEIN, not "Rush Limbaugh." If you want to spray your faux-outrage, spray it in his direction, for this is a creation of one of your own. This phrase did not originate on the Rush Limbaugh show. He merely repeated it (and also foretold that by him playing it, it would be picked up and attributed to him, which of course, happened). You lefties would be hilarious if you weren't so goddamned predictable, but wise man say -"don't let the facts get in the way of a good circle jerk of manufactured outrage. Fap fap fap fap fap...."
