Crooks & Liars: Limbaugh Gets a 'Spade' and 'Hoe' Parody Done on Obama! (1/15/08) by John Amato
Calling it "only a matter of time before Rush would do one of his unfunny racist-style parodies about the Clintons and Barack Obama," Amato thinksyou’ve probably heard Limbaugh’s “Barack the Magic Negro” piece by now—well, he follows that garbage up with this: "Obama is holding his own against both of them–doing more than his share of the spade work. Maybe even gaining ground at the moment. Using not only the spade, ladies and gentleman—that when he finishes with the spade in the garden of corruption planted by the Clinton’s, he turns to the hoe. And so the spade work and his expertise using a hoe."
For plenty more examples of Limbaugh's straight-up racist "humor," see FAIR's article: Limbaugh: A Color Man Who Has a Problem With Color? (6/7/00) by Jeff Cohen and Steve Rendall
