I've seen several folks use the song "Barack the Magic Negro" as evidence of racism on the right. So I figured it might be worth a poll all on its own. I only ask that before you post you actually click the link and listen to the lyrics of the song. If you think its racist, please quote the specific lyrics you find offensive. If you don't think its racist, then please explain what you think the intent of the song is.
I know the song was played on Limbaugh's show, but I don't want to get into a discussion on Limbaugh himself. I find Rush to be pompous, self important, adn grating so I have little to no interest in discussing him.
My thoughts on the song are on record elsewhere, but I'll post them here as well after I get a few responses.
