This is in response to Limbaugh's "Barack, the Magic Negro."

Enjoy! (singing along, or at campfires is permitted)

7. "Someone" is friends of mine. I'll pass it on!
It was done by the same guys that did this one about Bush Lite a few years back:

2.  Pretty cool Watch this go viral across the nation and the world.
And I love the part about why he couldn't join the army.

Go to the Youtube site and rate it... so it will get more views and get featured.

4. Sorry, I'm not impressed.
Like too many amateur lyricists, whoever wrote this didn't write enough. Stanzas that repeat just become boring. Repetitive video just becomes boring. Worst of all, the whole song sounds like wishful thinking, since Limbaugh is still far too powerful and influential.

I'd rather hear angry urban rap than whitebread folksingers anyway. As we learned in the 1960's, the side that has folksingers on it always loses.

5. True enough. We're still in Vietnam, and civil rights is just a dream.

6. This was meant as a parody of Limbaugh's "parody"
I'm sure that if Limbaugh comes out with an angry right wing urban rap, the response will be in kind.

Anger is the easy part. The right wing wrote the book on it, and expect it returned. What they don't
handle well is getting laughed at. They went ape shit over the first video done by these guys--not
because it was angrier than they were, but because it made fun of their own precious fool. They aren't
very good at coming up with responses to that:

9. I woulda gone with, "Rush, the Tragic Honkie". But big fat
gas bag sums him up fine too. Great job.

10. I'll pass it on to the main animator
He'll get a laugh out of it because he is a brother, himself.
