Sherri Shepherd Mistakenly Attributes 'Magic Negro' to Rush Limbaugh
During a discussion of Rep. Doug Lamborn's use of the term "tar baby," The View's Sherri Shepherd misrepresented conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh by accusing him of racism for use of the phrase "Barack the Magic Negro." "You're calling President Obama, Rush Limbaugh - Barack Obama, the magic negro. I mean it's all these little things that I go, wait a minute, I'm tired of giving people a pass going, and then they do an apology and say I didn't know," said Shepherd.
Fellow panelist Joy Behar was also mistaken as to the origin of the term Limbaugh used. "Limbaugh never backed off. Limbaugh never backed off though, it's not like he apologizes for that," said Behar. Shepherd and Behar both appear to be unaware that "Barack the Magic Negro" originated not with Rush Limbaugh and Paul Shanklin, but with David Ehrenstein, an African-American columnist for the Los Angeles Times.
The parody song Limbaugh aired is a direct reference to the relevant column.
What started as a discussion of the term "tar baby" became a conversation on perceptions of racism.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg explicitly criticized the Family Leader marriage vow signed by Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.).
"I have to say it's just one of those things where it's another questionable thing. Because it's been happening a lot. It's been happening a lot. People signing pledges, you know, with pieces of information in it that say black people were better off under slavery because they were two-parent households," said Goldberg.
A reading of the pledge would reveal that nowhere in the relevant passage does the pledge say that slavery was beneficial. Regardless of the veracity of the claims the pledge makes, it does not say that slaves were better off than modern black Americans.
Joy Behar, whose career as a comedian depends upon freedom of expression, offered a puzzling solution. "They really shouldn't have license to say things like that. They should not," said Behar.
A transcript follows.

SHERRI SHEPHERD: You're doing things to President Obama - you're calling President Obama, Rush Limbaugh - Barack Obama, the magic negro. I mean it's all these little things that I go, wait a minute, I'm tired of giving people a pass going, and then they do an apology and say I didn't know. I've never heard a purist call Nixon, Clinton, Bush, Reagan,a tar baby. I don't care. They never use that term to say we want to extricate ourselves -.
JOY BEHAR: Limbaugh never backed off. Limbaugh never backed off though, it's not like he apologizes for that.
SHEPHERD: But I'm saying - he didn't apologize. But everybody's using these things for Barack Obama and I say, I think you know exactly what you're saying and it's so much in your heart, the racism, you can't even help it. It freaking comes out before You- "tar baby- oh, shoot, I didn't say it."
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I have to say it's just one of those things where it's another questionable thing. Because it's been happening a lot. It's been happening a lot. People signing pledges, you know, with pieces of information in it that say black people were better off under slavery because they were two-parent households. And then suddenly it's taken out. So you kind of go, "what is all of this?" And so we just put it out there to say, you know, maybe you should be a little more thoughtful. And it's not new. It's just people are just now saying it out loud what they -

When we give into the politically correct language crowd, we go down the road of not being able to say much of anything because somebody might find it offensive.

They also mentioned "Little Black Sambo" progressing from a children's story to an African-American racial slur. Well, Little Black Sambo was an Indian, and if you studied physical anthropology you know that the people of the Indian subcontinent are caucasion, regardless of their skin color.

Liberals stumble any time they have to process rights and freedoms granted under the Constitution. Cognitively they just can't cut the mustard. Freedom of speech, they process, shouldn't be granted to JUST ANYONE....but to those whom liberals feel DESERVE IT based on how LIBERAL ONE HAPPENS TO BE at the time.
Joy Behar should make all liberals cringe....and she would if they weren't so darned stupid themselves.
Question
Submitted by CradleofIdiocy on Wed, 08/03/2011 - 6:23pm.
Why is it okay for Blacks or Hispanics to make crude jokes about Whites, but not the other way around?
That racist George Lopez is on some low-rated channel almost every night and he sounds like a member of a Brown Supremacist group.
We as a people, White, European-American, Caucasian, whatever you want to call us, have got to stop being so timid that we blanch whenever someone plays the race card.
Most of the time it's meaningless criticism with one sole purpose: to shut us up.
Whoare the real racists?

It wasn't that they didn't know -it is just that they reflexibly throw out the race weapon by default , making themselves the biggest racists of all, unable to make objective judgment without attributing good and bad to everyone based soley upon the color of their skin (or, truth be told, the amount of Marxist Red in their "Obama gonna pay mah mortgage" politics)

Woopie...really, do you think that kids, black included, are generally not better off in a two-parent household?
And really, Sherri....you have demonstrated time and time again...that, as "David Ehrenstein, an African-American columnist for the Los Angeles Times" wrote...are not the "magic negro".
Do some darn research before you make yourself look even more idiotic!

Paul Shanklin portraying the Reverend Al Sharpton's irrelevant bullhorn in the wake of The Messiah's eminent emaculation. "No more Buffets, no more contributions and no more walkin around money..... after all these years."
Didn't think Elrushbo had the stones to dust it off again, but he just needed a little help.
THANK YOU SHERRI. ANd would be remiss to not than Mr Ehrenstein Too..

Walters admitted on a previous show that she chose the women on the view for their "passion". Statements like the one is this article prove they have a lot of that and no intelligence, nor integrity.
The Messiah's reelection
Submitted by Jerry Mack on Wed, 08/03/2011 - 10:15pm.
The Messiah's reelection campaign got another kick-off yesterday and today. This Magic Negro was no accident. It was planned. Rev. Al, Jesse and all the race mongers were out yesterday and today spreading the word. Republicans and opposers of the Messiah only do so because they are racist.

race comments. It's very unusual, almost unheard of, for Liberals, especially Black Liberals, to play the race card.
As someone who has watched the alphabet networks, especially MSNBC (I really miss Keith Olbermann) all my life, I consider myself well informed. So I'm almost certain it is those on the right, Republicans and Tea Party members, who make a habit of playing the race and class warfare card.
P.S. I guess I could be mistaken. I also use Internet Explorer.

Well, I have had libs tell me that Rush is a racist bigot (and also a fat drug addict and the rest of that typical crap) because he called Barama a 'magic Negro'................and I ask them if they've ever listened to him, which - of course - they haven't. And when I've told them the origin of the 'magic Negro' statement, they STILL think that Rush is a racist bigot for actually using it to demonstrate a point!!!
These people are delusional...........
the most valuable asset liberals and progressives possess.....
Submitted by thescoots on Thu, 08/04/2011 - 7:41am.
is their "Certificate of Unaccountability". They, like toddlers or other mentally-challenged folks...can say whatever they wish about anyone...free and clear of the need for facts or truth. All is immediately forgiven and overlooked...because of their limited capacity. Everyone, on the left and the right, recognizes the innate limitations of the left. And, like a golfer's handicap, allowances are endlessly provided to them...along with the complimentary forgiveness when needed. Will this every change? My guess is that it will need to be generationally bred out of them...so, by attrition....we can slowly say goodbye to progressives...But then again....I am not a progressive....and therefore I am "accountable"...so I had better be careful what I say.
Niggardly Knowledge
Submitted by Pilgrim1949 on Thu, 08/04/2011 - 1:48pm.
From dictionary.com:
adjective
2. meanly or ungenerously small or scanty
One of the synonyms was illiberal. (And oh how ILliberal the liberal spectrum truly is...)
Although the thrust of the term is primarily in the realm of money or generosity, it also refers to an amount of something, hence the observation of the amount of brain cells and synapses that seem to be contained in the vacuous cranium of this ignorant race-baiter.
I use this term intentionally, since in the nearby Emerald City of Odds -- otherwise known as D.C. -- an African American city council member went totally ballistic some years ago when the term was used during a meeting, later on blabbering at post-meeting press conferences about the depth of offense to which he was subjected --- until saner heads in patient explanations merely took note of the "niggardly" vocabulary of this sensitive soul.
"Ye canne change the laws of physics....." but some politicians believe that with the right legislation you can pretend they don't really apply to your own pet projects...

You must have taken her words out of context. You know edited in Photoshop and cut and pasted to hide the true meaning of her words. Oh yeah!
