A few weeks ago Limbaugh played his "parody" song "Barack the Magic Negro" on his program. I posted on it and a commenter suggested it was more of a polemic than a racist parody.
Well here's Limbaugh again, commenting on Senator Obama campaign strategy:

Limbaugh: Obama is holding his own against both of them–doing more than his share of the “spade” work. Maybe even gaining ground at the moment. Using not only the spade ladies and gentleman—that when he finishes with the “spade” in the garden of corruption planted by the Clinton’s, he turns to the “hoe.” And so the spade work and his expertise using a hoe.
Is it a coincidence that Limbaugh used the word "spade" four times and the word "hoe" twice in that short "polemic?"
Words have meaning. Barack Obama is African-American, and Limbaugh used "spade" and "hoe"--code words that denigrate African-American men and women--to describe Senator Obama's campaign strategy.
Where's the outrage from the Jesus-loving, white and black Christians?
*crickets*
Limbaugh's followers have been listening to his sewerage that passes for commentary for years now, and they think he's a great man who "tells it like it is." I suppose our country will always have racists who need someone to affirm their minority ideas and values. Let them have this piece of slime to represent them. They deserve each other.
In a nation of 300 million people, 280 million of us think he's crap. We're the majority who must, from time to time, have our eyes and ears assaulted by this very small-minded, insecure gasbag.

what about the 299,999,999 that didn't listen to Air America?
Dear obob,
What's that got to do with it?
How many people listened to Limbaugh for the first 3 or 5 years he was on the air? And who financed him while his numbers were lousy? Eh?
It doesn't matter about Air America.
The country is moving toward the Democrats.
We don't need a syndicated radio gasbag to get us in the White House.
Americans have rejected Bush and his lackeys since 2004. He hasn't been able to get over 40% approval since he was "re-elected." He's the most unpopular president this nation has had, post war.
He's a Miserable Failure.
No matter what the cigar smoking, drug addicted, draft-dodging-because-he-had-a-cyst-on-his-ass- ditto-head says.
But I do think you're a good guy.
thank you, I'm just playing around. Like 2000, this election the Democrats to lose, but they have squandered 2006.
