How about Rush calling him the Magic Negro? Or Ann Coulter calling John Edwards a fag?

Everything is offensive, and the best part is it’s PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION.

I agree!

We all have our "button words"--those that don't sit right with us.

Didn't Gummy-the-news-girl smack a guy for saying "sputum," tellimg him to never say that around her?

I use some that offend others, and others use some that offend me.

I guess we'll all have to put some ice on it.

Magic Negro was invented by a lefty LA Times columnist....not Rush. He just exploited it.

I have been called motherf**king cracker so many times by black males that I quit counting.

But I didn’t think it was offensive, it was a just a signal it was fight time...unless they were alone.
