I have never met anyone with any modicum of common sense who has even ever listened to Oxycontin rush. Except maybe from snippets online.
Now you admit to taking the words of this blog writer on a prog blog as truth even though you don't want to admit that you don't ever listen to Limbaugh. You only listen to snippets of him, according to what you say, but you haven't admitted that all your snippets have come from prog blogs. It looks to me like Foot in Mouth Biden and Old Gaffer Obama have some real believers and you may well be one of them.

NPR isn't left wing and people in the ghetto are generally apolitical, in spite of what you read on the internets.

that was in the 30's. People nowadays have radios or internet access, even many poor people.

I guess you forgot to read the original post where I said that Limbaugh has middle and upper income fans.

I guess followers of Jesus don't believe in reading, words are the works of the devil himself.

When Limbaugh talks about disenfranchising the poor he makes sure to winkingly indicate to his audience he means blacks. Dittoheads are morons but they can at least read between the lines and get the code words.

Okay it was Sharpton - but it was not Limbaugh who first used the term "Magic Negro" to describe Obama, it was actually first used by an LA times writer -- a black man -- to describe Obama.

Obama the 'Magic Negro' - latimes.com

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 Magical Negro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .....

Like a comic-book superhero, Obama is there to help, out of the sheer goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him.

So as long as someone else said it first it makes it ok? You sound like my ex co-worker that threw the n word around and justified it because rappers used it.

Obama is a Socialist. His policies speak for themselves. The people who think he is a Muslim and from Kenya are kinda out there.
