All right, here's the latest flash from the from Reuters over Judge Vinson.
Florida judge orders Obama regime to seek expedited appellate review of his ruling that healthcare law is unconstitutional.
Now, the first note was not it's a judge declines to order regime to halt implementation of health care law.
That's why I didn't make a big deal out of it because sometimes the headline makes no sense as it relates to the story.
And remember, Reuters will be dead set against this law being held up as unconstitutional.
So put out a headline that depresses and disappoints everybody.
Which, I mean, if I tell you, oh, no, oh no, look at what Reuter just said.
Judge declines to order Obama to halt him.
Oh, damn it, we've lost the call.
Oh, no.
The judge, I don't want you having that kind of reaction.
So I don't make a big deal about it.
The latest, it's just a flash.
Still can't find the guts of a story yet.
But it differs from the first Reuters flash.
Florida judge orders regime to seek expedited appellate review of his ruling that healthcare law is unconstitutional.
We're following this.
Reuters is into flashes today rather than full-length news stories.
Full-length news story.
We'll pass it along to you.

The latest story on what's going on in Libya, rebels on the ground.
This is a Reuters story.
Rebels on the ground are begging George Bush to do something about it.
I kid you not.
Now, you have to, it's a long story.
It's not in the headline.
You have to dig halfway down or even further in the story.
The headline of this story is, Gaddafi Bombs Oil Areas Faces Crimes Probe.
That's page one.
You go to page two, really small font here.
There's this.
Opposition activists called for a no-fly zone, echoing a demand by Libya's deputy U.N. envoy who now opposes Gaddafi.
Quote, bring Bush.
Make a no-fly zone.
Bomb the plains, shouted soldier-turned rebel Nasser Ali, referring to a no-fly zone imposed on Iraq in 1991 by then President George H.W. Bush.
Italy said that it was preparing for a potential mass exodus of migrants escaping turmoil in North Africa after a rise in flows of illegal immigrants from Tunisia.
So they're clamoring for the bushes.
They're clamoring for the bushes.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's out there saying, yeah, Al Jazeera is the real news.
Al Jazeera is really here.
Here's Hillary.
Audio soundbite number 12.
Yesterday afternoon in Washington, Washington, for those of you in Rio Linda, it was a Senate Foreign Operations Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and there's a Q ⁇ A. Ron Johnson, Republican, Wisconsin, said, I totally agree with you about the power of information.
I'd like to have your evaluation in terms of the priority of our information initiative.
I mean, what are the components that you want to most emphasize in that region, the Middle East of the world?
Al Jazeera has been the leader in that are literally changing people's minds and attitudes.
And like it or hate it, it is really effective.
Viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news.
You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news, which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners.
Oh, yeah, right on mama.
Al Jazeera is real news.
Walter Cronkite turning over in his grave.
He is dead.
He did died.
He's turning over in his grave.
Holy smokes, the Secretary of State, Al Jazeera.
There's real news.
Not like our news, where you have a bunch of talking heads arguing kind of stuff we do on our news, which is not particularly informative to us.
Whoa, do you understand the hurt feelings right now over at MSNBC and CNN?
I mean, their goddess just undercut them.
What would be the solution?
How about simply pipe it?
We don't do arguments with talking heads here.
EIB network, real news.
Why don't we pipe EIB into all those countries in the Middle East, all around the world?
We're the real voice of America anyway.
Why not just pipe EIB in there?
We change people's minds every day.
We present real news here every day.
Even Hillary knows that.
She knows it all too well.
Al Jazeera.
She's watching it.
In order to have this opinion of it, she is watching it.
Absent Senate Democrats in Wisconsin are talking with majority Republicans about possible compromises aimed at ending a stalemate over a bill to strip public sector unions of bargaining rights.
In a telephone interview with his hometown Green Bay Press Gazette, Democrat Senator Dave Hansen said negotiations on a compromise to bring the Democrat senators back for a vote may involve preserving some union bargaining rights.
One area under discussion would allow unions to continue to negotiate on workplace safety issues.
Another might extend the interval between union recertification votes to two years from every year, Hansen told the newspaper.
I'm disappointed they wouldn't give us that safety issue out of hand, but yeah, it makes as much sense as anything.
We continue to discuss it.
Hopefully we'll soon come to an agreement, Hansen told the Press Gazette.
I know we're not going to get all that we want.
We're trying to get as much as we can.
Okay, so that's a Democrat version of this, and we'll have to wait.
Check with Al Jazeera, folks.
This is Reuters, their version of the story, talking to a Democrat Wisconsin senator.
So what we're going to do is we're going to go to Al Jazeera and wait for their report on this before we give you any further details.
In fact, I'm wondering, sturdily, let's see.
I can't use that.
Politico, that's not news.
I want to finally just throw out my stacks of stuff.
We don't have any real news here.
I don't have any from Al Jazeera, but I guess we could get some stuff.
Let's do that.
Go to the Al Jazeera.
Let's get some Al Jazeera news here.
Find out what's really news.
I do want to mention this political story by Kenneth P. Vogel videos, A Weapon in Wisconsin fight.
And listen, listen to the snarky way this story starts.
Stung by allegations of incendiary, racist, and homophobic rhetoric, Tea Party rallies last year.
Conservative activists with flip cams and camera phones have circulated at the union protests sprouting up across the country in hopes of catching violent or abusive behavior by their liberal adversaries.
The resulting photos and videos have ricocheted around the conservative blogosphere in recent days, prompting mounting outrage on the right.
Well, how about that?
I mean, this is just cheap.
Stung by allegations of incendiary racist.
How about stung by false allegations?
How about stung by lies?
How about stung by misrepresentation and libel and slander?
Conservative activists with flip cams are now videotaping what happens where they are to disprove the lies and the false allegations emanating from the mainstream press and politico.
How about that as a way to begin this story?
Stung by allegations?
Makes it look like they're trying to defend themselves.
What they're trying to do is prove they are being lied about.
Try this headline.
Obama regime official urges cable companies to carry Al Jazeera.
You heard about that, Sterdley?
You didn't hear about that?
Whoa.
Well, it's actually true.
An Obama regime official has urged cable companies to carry Al Jazeera.
Now, that happened before Mrs. Clinton said that Al Jazeera is real news, whether you like it or not.
Remember, the Democrat Party has set up websites trying to get more people to use camera phones to videotape Republicans doing bad things.
This is something that the Democrat Party has been doing now for over a year.
They actually have websites where they're charged.
And a lot of these videos we know are faked.
A lot of the pictures are photoshopped.
It's all made up.
Nothing is real when you're talking about what the Democrats do, particularly their allegations about what the Tea Party happens to be doing.
Let's take quick time out.
We'll come back.
Rush Limbaugh again, 800-282-2882.
Back right after this.
On a cutting edge, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, Rush Limbaugh.
Redefining hip on the radio.
And who's next?
Fairfax, Virginia.
Hi, Jeff.
You're up.
Hey, Ross.
I'm going to agree with you that Barack Obama's been a coward on race.
He hasn't said anything meaningful about race in forever.
Even his race speech didn't say anything about how black people are treated in this country.
What I'm going to disagree with you on is your characterization of the right as not being racist or Tea Party's as not being racist.
And I don't make that allegation lightly.
You're the leader of the Tea Party movement.
I've been to a number of rallies.
I'm a Democratic activist myself.
And I listen to your show a lot.
I've heard Barack the Magic Negro as if that's somehow funny or okay.
I've heard you do skits about spades and hose.
I've heard you go after Donovan McNabb, your interstitials about Ron Artest, where you say nothing about the rapist Rothlinsberger or Mark Zamara, the white rapist football players.
If you didn't talk so much about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, they'd be footnotes in history by now.
Nobody would know who they are.
Now, now, wait a minute.
This has gotten more and more unbelievable as your litany has gone on and on.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be footnotes in history were it not for me.
I'm not the leader of the team.
I've been on television in years.
Oh, they're on television all the time.
They are favored media figures.
These guys have the stamp of approval of the Drive-By Media.
And I am not the leader of the Tea Party.
I've never been to a Tea Party rally.
I've never organized one.
I don't know when the next one is.
Well, there is a contest between you and Glenn Beck.
I mean, I've been to a number of them, and they love you both.
I don't know who they love more.
I mean, I think if I were you, because I think you're much better than Glenn Beck is.
But the truth is, you are a leader, whether you like it or not.
Your actions have made you a leader.
What you do every day, you're one of the most talented personalities in America.
Well, that's true.
Do you agree with that?
But you've made yourself a leader, not only amongst Tea Partiers, but amongst the Republican Party.
How many Republican politicians have called into your show to apologize to you when you've taken offense at some of the things they've said?
Maybe two.
Maybe two.
I know Phil Gingry, Daryl Issa, off the top of my head.
What two were you thinking of?
Those two.
There haven't been any others.
You know, you are attacking me for nothing.
You are attacking me for doing what Eric Holder said we don't have the guts.
I have the courage to talk about race.
I have the courage to make fun of liberals who happen to be black, who are just as funny, just as guilty of hypocrisy as anybody else is, but somehow because they're black, they seem to be off limits or untouchable.
I hate to bring this to you, Brush, but hate is cowardice.
That's not courage.
Well, there's no hate here.
Give me an example.
You know, you guys define hate as anything you disagree with.
Why is it okay to characterize Michelle Obama or insinuate that she's a hoe?
Why is that okay?
Oh, America.
When did I insinuate?
When did I say she's a hoe?
When Hillary Clinton said something about Barack Obama has not done the spade work, you went through a five-minute monologue about Barack Obama being great with the spade, and when he's done with that, he turns to his hoe.
That was a playoff of what had happened on Imus.
And that's funny.
Well, no, we're trying to call attention.
It's called satire.
It's called parody.
And by the way, I have parodied Bill Clinton, and I have parodied Mrs. Clinton, and I have parodied John Kerry, and I have parodied Joe Bitemee and a number of other people.
If they're liberals, they're targets.
It doesn't matter if they're from Mars to me.
It's just I have the courage not to leave the African Americans out of it.
And the only way you can make them a target is to use old, old racial esoteric.
They find a more creative way of doing your satire, Russia?
They.
That's what I mean.
That's hate.
There is no hate here.
They make themselves the targets by saying and doing what they do.
You make yourself a hoe.
How did Missoula Obama make herself a hoe?
I don't even think.
You didn't make yourself a target.
Do you really think I was calling Michelle Obama a whore?
Do you really think that's what I was doing?
No, I think you were calling her a hoe.
Hoe is the word you used.
And why is this citizen?
And why would you say that?
In your world, in your world, if ho doesn't equal whore, then why are you offended?
Because hoe equals the African-American community's representation of the word whore.
Oh, whore is defined when that, of course, and hoe means whore.
Do you really think I think Michelle Obama's a whore?
I think she's a hypocrite.
I think she ought to stay out of what I eat.
It's none of her business what I eat.
What?
I think you thought you could get away with it.
I think you think you can get away with whatever you want on the radio.
You can use what, like you said, this aftermath of the IMIS thing.
IMIS had just been suspended.
You were looking to rub black America's nose in the fact that you weren't afraid of the people.
I'm not sure what the thing you want to do is trying to get away with anything.
For as smart as you sound, you have a total misunderstanding of what this program is all about.
I just treat black politicians the same as I treat liberal white politicians.
That's the difference.
And nobody else does.
Everybody's coward.
Everybody's afraid to.
When am I going to hear you say something about Ben Rothlinsberger or Mark Shamara, the white rapist athletes?
I have made jokes about Rothlessberger.
What's the second name you mentioned?
Mark Shamara, the old tight end from the Packers Jets, I think.
Statutory race.
We have made jokes and comments about all of these guys.
I try to listen to that every day, but I guess I just haven't heard that.
So I can leave that alone.
But you've spent a lot of time on the Black Panther scandal.
You spent no time on the racist purging of voters with African-American names in Florida in the year 2000.
That had a lot more impact on voting.
Don't happen to believe that that happened.
I don't believe if there's any purging that went on in Florida, it was absentee military voters that the Democrat.
I am equal time.
You have to look at something.
Everybody says that I need to be balanced wrong.
I am the equal time, and I'm a small little chunk of equal time.
Look at all the stuff that I've been labeled.
You just did it yourself.
I'm filled with hate.
I'm a racist.
I'm this or that.
And you can get away with saying it because I'm a powerful white guy.
And I'm not supposed to be subject to being embarrassed by it or offended by it because it's part of the territory.
I'm supposed to have to be able to take it.
But somehow, Muchell Obama is immune, or Al Sharpton is immune, or the Reverend Jackson's immune, or Ron Artes is immune.
I didn't start a fight with fans in the stands in Indiana like Ron Artes did.
I didn't set up a rap music company with a bunch of hoes like he did.
But he did it.
So we had a little fun with it.
So your equal time is to balance out non-racism with a healthy dose of racism.
No, my equal time is to satire and parody everything in the news, no matter who is making it.
Your problem is that you think being black is a disadvantaged, uncared for, indefensible, pathetic minority that can't defend or take care of themselves, and so they're off limits.
And anytime somebody dares, I mean, how come you haven't mentioned Major Owens?
We've had more fun with that guy than anybody I can remember.
He said the sharks are still swimming the route, the slave route.
I'm sorry, I don't know who Major Owens is, but I do know that your first inclination, I mean, the housing crisis, your first inclination is to attack Acorn and the Community Reinvestment Act as if AIG, you know, all the Wall Street bankers had no problem.
Yeah, because they happen to be the biggest problem.
Acorn and the Community Redevelopment Act happen to be the reason that the subprime mortgage crisis happened.
I am not going to be silenced.
I am not going to let the facts of a story go ignored or be ignored because the activists behind the mess happen to be leftists.
Be they Martian leftists or black leftists or take your pick, female leftists or what have you.
I think you need to be ashamed of yourself.
You are a smart guy and you know that what you're saying about me isn't true.
You're just trying to score some points, get yourself all heralded on the blogosphere billboards out there.
You're skewed innuendo and your lies and distortions about me.
You really need to examine yourself.
Be ashamed of who you are.
It's even better.
It's perfect.
Greetings.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Let me tell you something, folks.
You know, I am sitting here.
I do a slow burn over this patronization, this patronizing of black people in this country as if they are helpless.
And they're wandering aimlessly through life and they can't handle anything whatsoever.
It's an insult to have a call like that come in and portray, and this is what I've always thought about leftists and blacks.
They actually look down on black people.
They look at black people and see a bunch of incompetence.
They see people who are defenseless, helpless, can't help themselves.
They just denigrate them in their own minds, and it's offensive to me.
And I just, I find it utterly irritating, this patronizing attitude they have toward that segment of our population, because it's leading that, in fact, the American left looks at the black population as just, what's the best way to describe this?
It's the reason they keep them on their own liberal plantation.
They look at them as just totally incapable of doing anything.
If anybody discriminates against them, it's the American left.
If it's anybody that looks down at the black population of this country, it's the American left.
That guy admitted he's a Democrat activist, so he's paid to utter those words.
But, you know, what really bugs these guys is that I spend time exposing the liberal agenda and that they have not been able to intimidate me with this charge of racism into shutting up about it.
That's what bugs them.
And I'm not.
I mean, I don't, so I've told you, I don't care what people look like.
If they are liberals, they're going to be lampooned on this program.
They're going to be laughed at.
They're going to be criticized.
They're going to be called out.
They're going to be properly explained.
I don't care if they've got three heads.
I don't care if they don't have half a brain.
It doesn't matter to me who or what they are.
If they are liberals, they are in my sorry CNN crosshairs.
Now, he mentioned, how long has it been?
He mentioned Barack the Magic Negro.
For those of you new to the program, let me explain this.
I love doing it.
I was sitting here during the campaign of 2008.
It was early on in that year.
It was in the spring.
I was minding my own business.
It might have been 2007.
And I was minding my own business, harming no one, which is what I do.
I don't make fun of people's skin color.
I do not lampoon or make fun of that at all.
I'm sitting here and I'm reading all over the place a lot of dissatisfaction with Obama in certain sectors of the black population, of black media.
I'm hearing certain black people say he's not authentic.
He's not enough slave blood.
Not my words, theirs.
That he's not down for the struggle, meaning the civil rights struggle.
Not my words, theirs.
I heard one African American say he wanted to cut the gonads off of Barack Obama.
Who was that?
That was, oh yeah, it was the Reverend Jackson.
And he'd get a little physical demonstration of how he would do it.
Because it was on TV.
I saw that.
And I think it was the Reverend Jackson who did indeed call our young president the N-word.
He did.
So I'm hearing all this.
He's unauthentic.
He doesn't have slave blood.
He's not down for the struggle.
He doesn't really know.
What the black circumstance in this country is all about.
And then one day, one day, there's this column in the Los Angeles Times called Barack the Magic Negro.
And I said, whoa.
And it was written by a black columnist named David Aaron, Aaron Steinreich.
No, it's Barbara Aaron Reich.
Maybe David Aaron Reich.
Aaron David Erinstein.
And it's all about how Obama is simply the Magic Negro.
I'd never heard the term before.
So what's Magic Negro?
Well, I read further, found the Magic Negro is a Negro who says and does and acts the right way, allowing white people to comfortably associate with him, promote him, or even vote for him.
And I remembered, yeah, like Joe Biden said, oh, finally we have a clean and articulate African American, which ticked off L. Sharpton.
He takes showers.
People can understand him when he speaks.
Well, Sharpton was not happy with Obama's candidacy at first.
We parodied that.
So his Magic Negro is all about how Obama's a phony.
He allows white racists to get rid of their guilt.
He's not authentic.
He just sounds and does things white enough to let white voters vote for him to get rid of their guilt.
It was not a column praising Obama.
So we worked up a parody.
And because he did have slave blood, did not have slave blood.
So exactly, I wasn't down for the struggle.
So we got together with white comedian Paul Shanklin.
We put together some lyrics here to puff the Magic Dragon by Peters, Paul, and Mary.
And the rest is history.
And after it aired two times, you think I wrote the column.
You think I created the term Magic Negro.
You think I was responsible.
We're sitting here minding our own business, watching and listening to these idiot doofuses on the left do what they do, and we're making fun of it.
Quite cleverly, I might add.
And that's what ticks them off.
So we're going to play the Magic Negro for those of you who haven't heard it after you've now heard it set up.
But first, in honor of that last call, remember the Justice Brothers, the Reverend Sharpton, Reverend Jackson, who it's now been said would be mere, what, memories?
Footnotes in history, if it hadn't been for me keeping the, which means this guy, this Democrat activist sinkly wishes they'd shut up.
The dirty little secret last caller, he's telling us he wishes Jackson and Sharpton would shut up, but I keep them alive.
But remember, the Justice Brothers offered their services in Wisconsin.
The Reverend Al Sharpton, ladies and gentlemen, Barack the Magic Negro.
You heard there that in our parody, the Reverend Sharpton couldn't even stay with a lyric line.
He got so ticked off during the recording session that he started ad-living what meant, and the chorus kept getting louder and louder and louder trying to drown him out.
Didn't work.
Now, one more example before we go to the break.
I remember I was channel surfing around.
I've not mentioned this before, I don't believe.
I was channel surfing around sometime last month during Black History Month, and I was trying to watch sports.
And I think it was before the Super Bowl, so I'm channel surfing around the Sports Center on ESPN.
And instead, there's some live black history celebration event going on at some college campus somewhere.
And on the stage, as a guest is Spike Lee, who, by the way, invented the term Magic Negro, from what I'm told.
Yeah, it was African-American filmmaker Spike Lee popularized the term deriding the archetype of the super duper magical Negro in 2001 while discussing films with students at Washington State University and at Yale.
Anyway, they had Marion Jones up there on the panel.
They had John Calapari to coach basketball at Louisville.
I think it was Louisville or Kentucky.
That'd be Louisville.
And they had Bob Lee, one of the moderators, and Robin Roberts.
And they were discussing, it's Black History Month, and they're discussing what happened to LeBron James as he left the Cleveland Cavaliers and took his talents to South Beach to play for the Miami Heat, which doesn't play in South Beach, but that's another minor detail.
Anyway, I actually heard Spike Lee compare LeBron James to a fleeing slave getting out of Cleveland was fleeing indentured slavitude or something that he said.
They go to the Miami Heat, and I'm listening to this and I'm just now, what in the, how am I supposed to process this?
We're talking about somebody who makes, what, $20 million a year's salary, and who knows what he makes of Nike.
Multi-millionaire, television plastered all our face plastered all over TV and billboards nationwide.
A hero to kids, basketball hero.
And somehow Spike Lee sees slavery in this transaction.
All I can do is laugh at this, but I can honestly tell you, I don't see intellectually the connection here to LeBron James' slavery.
I just, sorry, I don't see it.
It was hilarious.
And you should have seen everybody on the panel stroking their chins and nodding in agreement.
Oh, yeah, Spike, well, you're really onto something here when they really want to, oh, my God, did he just say this?
And we got 45 minutes of this show to go.
But they're all stroking their chins and they're nodding.
And not one of them had the guts to say, what in the world are you talking about?
The guy is a multi-gazillionaire slavery.
Spike, what are you talking about?
And it ended up, he was upset at the owner of the Cavaliers for the way they had treated LeBron, forcing LeBron out.
Some said it was just amazing.
And I'm watching this.
We're not going to make, well, not only are we not going to make progress, we're moving backwards in all this.
When you take the episode of LeBron James changing teams and compare this during Black History Month to slavery, let me just tell all of you leftists, the problem is not here.
The problem is with you and the way you look at the world and the way you want other people to look at the world.
That's just inexcusable.
Well, Obama just told Gaddafi to step down from power and leave now.
He said that Gaddafi has lost legitimacy with his people.
Interesting that Obama does this when the rebels on the ground of Libya are calling for Bush.
AJ Houston, great to have you on the program, sir.
Make a big time diddle, Rush Limbaugh.
How are you, AJ?
Oh, big time having it, having them try to be calm and cool at the same time.
You know, I don't want to get too excited here.
Hey, I want to let that guy know that Jessica finished talking to you.
What is he insinuating the way black folks say whore and hoe?
And is that, I mean, he's calling you racist, but what is that?
So, what are you saying?
Black folks can't talk?
What's the ideology of that?
Well, that's the point.
If anybody looks down at black people and has a condescending view of them, it's liberals.
I noticed that, Rush, and black folks need to wake up and understand these leftists and the Democrat Party think they dumb, stupid.
We got a lot of black entrepreneur people, and these people on the left keep the black folks here in the sand, like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharp, our president.
And you know what, Rush, real quick, as a black man and everything blacks went through, everything we went through, and they finally get a black man up there, and he run the country like this.
I don't think this is what the black folks wanted to see.
We want to see promise.
We want to see a man that really cared about the country and can make us move and be energy-dependent on our hands to work, start business and open it up.
Interesting point out there, AJ.
That really is.
I've heard, not anytime real recently, but I've heard some people say that, oh, no, this is not helping the prospect of the next black president.
Black people themselves have been saying that simply because the incompetence, being totally judicious here, the incompetence of Obama.
Anyway, AJ, always a pleasure to have you on the EIB network.
I got to go.
Well, it's the fastest three hours in media, folks, and it's already Thursday, too.
I can't believe it.
We've already got two hours in the can under the belt, so to speak.
Another exciting big broadcast hour lurks straight ahead.
A brief time out here before the top of the hour.
We'll be back before you know it.
It really is true.
If anybody looks at African Americans in this country as inferior and incompetent, it's the American left.
