The MSM now is on full-alert regarding the controversy about the RNC and the 'Barack the Magic Negro' parody from the Rush Limbaugh show. It even made the top-of-the-hour ABC radio news, which in 5 minutes (minus three minutes of ads) only covers the huge stories.

For those who don't know, the song was a take-off of an LA Times column by David Ehrenstein entitled 'Obama the Magic Negro.' An RNC bigwig distributed copies of a CD containing the parody song, and the scandal was on!

For me, it should be a non--story, certainly less alarming than the many pro-Obama rappers and comics who use the real N-word. And I thought (perhaps wrongly) that Limbaugh was making a subtle point about the implict racism of permitting only blacks to say certain things (the LA Times writer Ehrenstein is black).

At any rate, I found an oddity that prompted me to post here. Even though Limbaugh now is being lambasted by moonbats as a racist, and by the MSM in its usual 'questions have been raised' fashion, no one appears to be accusatory towards Ehrenstein. But in the comment thread of the Media Matters post from last year, when Limbaugh first talked about the column, there was a post that appears to be from Ehrenstein complaining that his email box was full of anti-semitic rants (he is not Jewish, despite his surname):
media matters

"I would greatly appreciate it if 'Media Matters' had gotten back to me first before putting this up. The oxycontin junkie and his closet queen pal (La Drudge) have been pushing this as a 'meme.' He obviously thinks I'm in league with Hillary, and he alos[sic] obviously thinks I'm white.
As you can imagine I am in receipt of much anti-semitic hate mail."

In other words, some of the moonbats, before they knew that Ehrenstein was black, deluged him with anti-semitism, thinking he was a Jew who had dropped an anti-black slur on Obama. But after being (somewhat) better informed, they quickly dropped that, and turned their ire solely on Limbaugh. The racial slurs had come full circle, or even better, 'full-mobius band.' No better summation of moonbats, media, and scandals than that.
