Just pointing out he sponsored the audio not the video. Why is it racist? Answer that please. > I'm making the comparison to Imus: both talk radio hosts repeated a > possible racially offensive piece on the public airwaves that they did > not, themselves, create.

The Imus event happened about a month after this parody. Obama thought it was funny and Sharton is OK with it. Yet you claim it's racist but don't know why. Imus used a term on his own that was questionable. Rush did a parody of an op-ed nobody cared about. Rush didn't use any of his own words, he used the article. To be mad at him you have to be mad at the original author.
