This has nothing to do with Spike Lee and everything to do with a liberal named David Ehrenstein calling Barak a Magic Negro. When Rush points and laughs at the liberals they try to hang him. David Ehrenstein called Barak a Magic Negro. What do you have to say about that? > Now, to air something that repeatedly uses the phrase out of that context > seems quite different.

It's news worthy, he's repeating the news as told by a liberal but when he does it it's racist.
