Racism started when a dude named Moses declared that a group of people were superior to the rest of Mankind in a supremacist doctrine called THE TORAH
I guess the tea party is not dead!
How does it feel to publicly proclaim you're not capable of thinking for yourself?
Since you do it a lot, I'm guessing it must feel pretty good.
Yes...because that bumper sticker is just like that pic you posted.

Of course it is offensive and racist.
But what if this is Bill Maher's car? Is it still racist?

Say WHAT?? How do you come to THAT conclusion?
This certainly is far over the edge and goes much farther than Limbaugh's "Magic Negro" comment. That Rush sure has a way with words, doesn't he?
Background
The magical Negro is an archetype which was first applied to presidential candidate Obama by movie and culture critic, David Ehrenstein, in a Los Angeles Times op ed column of March 19, 2007. According to Ehrenstein, the magical Negro is a non threatening black hero in the popular media, usually the cinema, who was invented to ease feelings of white guilt over slavery and racial injustice. He is noble and devoid of sexual motives, and appears suddenly, out of nowhere, to magically solve the problems of white people.
Ehrenstein opined that "Obama's fame right now has little to do with his political record or what he's written in his two books, or even what he's actually said". Rather, Obama was a popular contender for the presidency because whites were projecting their "fantasies of curative black benevolence" on him.[4]
[edit] Pre-election use by Limbaugh
Limbaugh began discussing Ehrenstein's op ed on the day it was published. He declared that "The term 'Magic Negro' has been thrown into the political presidential race in the mix for 2008" and sang a brief rendition of Barack the Magic Negro to the tune of "Puff, the Magic Dragon", anticipating the Shanklin song, which he began to air the following day. He said he would "own" the term by the end of the week.[5] Limbaugh played the song numerous times throughout the 2008 presidential election season. In response to criticisms[6] that the song had racist overtones, Limbaugh noted that he was not the first person to apply the magic Negro moniker to Obama, David Ehrenstein was.[7] Limbaugh also remarked that Ehrenstein had not been criticized for his op ed because he was a black man and a member of the liberal media establishment, therefore, double standards were being applied to conservative commentary.[5]
Black political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson, who is the author of the forthcoming book, "The Emerging Black GOP Majority", called the song "crass, tasteless, and race tinged, but ... accurate."[8] Camille Paglia of Salon.com called the song "very daring and funny", although she felt that Limbaugh had overplayed it.[9]
Al Sharpton discussed the song with a New York Times reporter and stated: "Limbaugh puts things in a way that he cant be blamed for easy bigotry. Some of the songs he does about me just make me laugh. But hes the most dangerous guy we have to deal with on the right".[10]
Dont Re-Nig, the racist anti-Obama bumper sticker, appears real
Several viewers have claimed the image has been digitally altered. After all, it seems shocking that someone would proudly display an openly racist image on their vehicle in 2012. So, is the image authentic?
In short, yes.
It's still unclear is the image of the vehicle has been altered in any way, but a website called "Stumpy's Stickers" offers the bumper sticker for sale for $3. And as The Root points out, the site also several other racially insensitive items for sale as well. The urban myth debunking site Snopes says it cannot yet determine the origins of the photo, but also points out the availability of other similar t-shirts and bumper stickers.

You do realize that Rush was only parodying what David Ehrenstein wrote in the NYT don't you?
Of course you don't.

I know what Rush is. He pushes the acceptabily of his outbursts as far as he can. He doesn't care about other feelings or, for that matter, moral or ethical standards. I doubt he saw alot wrong with the bumper sticker.
