Missing the Satire, Host Activates Racist Listeners

"Barry Saunders and Rush Limbaugh? Those are two names you wouldn't normally pair together, but the N&O metro section columnist found himself being quoted -- unfavorably -- on Limbaugh's talk radio program last week. The show stirred heated discussion among readers and non-readers of The News & Observer," public editor Ted Vaden wrote Sunday in the Raleigh News & Observer.

"Saunders said he received some 500 messages commenting on his column, most of them critical, some racist (Limbaugh posted Saunders' picture on his Web site.)" Saunders is African American. "Limbaugh hyperventilated over a Saunders column Tuesday that poked fun at the shotgun mishap of Vice President Dick Cheney. 'Accident, my eye,' is how the column began, and you might guess how it goes on from there:
"Just as surely as a fish wrapped in a bulletproof vest means 'Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes,' that shotgun blast to Whittington's face was meant to convey that I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby had better bite his tongue and forget about testifying against Cheney, his former boss, in the Valerie Plame spy case.

"Do you believe that Saunders literally was accusing the vice president of the United States of intentionally shooting hunting buddy Harry Whittington as a warning to Libby? Apparently hundreds of folks did. . . . "Limbaugh read about half the column over the air. But he left out the half that made clear that the N&O columnist was satirizing the Cheney affair. . . . "I suppose if there's a lesson to be learned, it's that satire is a tricky weapon to wield in column-writing. That's because humor so often is not what the writer intends, but what the reader perceives. As Saunders told me, 'If you are a Republican or a conservative, you didn't see the humor. If you're a liberal or an independent, you did see the humor.'"

Its the old stir the pot with lies and propaganda trick ....but he got caught!! Many blacks died in the past when things like this were done. GET YOUR FACTS STRAITE AND REPORT THE TRUTH RIGHT WINGERS or people could be hurt even killed.

Limbaugh Tells Listeners White Candidate Is Black

"Brown is black in the eyes of Rush Limbaugh," the Associated Press reported Friday.
"When Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett was forced out of the Democratic primary in the U.S. Senate race in Ohio, the conservative commentator criticized The New York Times for not saying that the Democrats' preferred candidate is black.
"Limbaugh later found out from e-mails to his nationally syndicated radio show that the candidate, Rep. Sherrod Brown, is, in fact, white.

"Uh, Sherrod Brown's a white guy? Then I'm confusing him with somebody. OK, I'm sorry," Limbaugh said this week. Brown is a seven-term congressman and former Ohio secretary of state who is running against GOP Sen. Mike DeWine.
". . . Later in his show, Limbaugh said he kept getting e-mails. 'We have corrected this, and I, you know, I'm not gonna apologize because I don't think it's an insult to be black,' he said.

LIE # 2 YOU DID MEAN IT AS AN INSULT OR YOU WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN TRIED TO USE THE STORY AT ALL.
