I have seen transcripts that clearly dispute the account provided by you and Franken. And, again, try listening to someone other than media matters. The magic negro was coined by the LA Times, and Rush used their oped as a parody. The song isn't even directed at Obama, it is making fun of Sharpton and raced obsessed liberals. I don't know that Obama was not comparing Palin to a pig. The reference to an old fish and a pig seems like a shot at McCain and Palin to me. But if you want to give him the benefit of the doubt (imagine that), it is your prerogative. You don't dispute that Obama insulted Nancy Reagan, the troops, and just about every American who lives in a small town and owns a gun or believes in God. I also recall feminists getting riled up about his "likable enough" jab at Hillary. These incidents are more frequent (since he has been in the public eye 5 years vs. 20 for Rush) and more recent with Obama, yet you seem unwilling to subject him to the same scorn you direct at Rush. More importantly, it does not even matter whether Rush or Obama or any other public figure is a jerk, because this is not a refutation of any policy or position they promote.

They blamed him for all of the country's ills and problems regardless of whether they were truly Bush's fault or not. Now that Bush is gone and Republicans have lost their way, the dems need someone else to to blame. They've selected Rush as the great and mighty evil in order to continue their fear mongering campaign. There hope is to round up support for the president and his whacked-out policies by telling Americans that their problems are Rush's fault and he's the reason things are not getting better. And so far, it's working. More to come. Sic,

I'm fascinated by your perspective and look forward to reading your information sources. I suspect Rush will remain a continued source of profit for Clear Channel and I tremble to ponder what their YTD losses would be without Maha Rushie. That said Team Obama's decision to catapult Rush in the spotlight will likely result in increased interest and even more listeners. Pat,

He is not there because of experience or ability. I mean what has he done? Spent an assload of my hard earned money to send checks to those house sitters who he then plans to bail out with my money! More power to Rush! Bring this guy to a debate! Rush will run riot over him! Not even a teleprompter will save him. Why I bet Rush has at least 4 more inches than Obama!

He's not an elected official who answers to any constituents, so he's free to be as ideologically pure as he wants to be. Politico's story today said his national favorability rating is worse than Rev. Jeremiah Wright!! Demos are loving this, Rush and his advertising dept are loving this, and the Republican Party is getting screwed in the process.

You have nothing productive to say, only to tear down the champions of limited government, conservatism, and freedom. Without Limbaugh, there would be no alternative media, including your pathetic trashy blog. Shame on you. You suck Will, and I can’t wait for the day when you no longer write.

He's being paid $50,000,000 a year by a company that just posted a 5 billion dollar loss. Yikes. Oh by the way, enjoy Rush while you can.

And it was no mistake. There's also a clip floating around where it's clear that the joke was the kid was a dog. And if you think Rush is just a great, plain spoken hero, super. Maybe you can have "The Magic Negro" played at the next CPAC. In any event, if Rush is your guy, if he's carrying the conservative banner, good. Where do I donate? By the way, he didn't call Palin a pig and you know it. The did not derive from Al Franken, I saw it when it happened. And it was no mistake.
