My last post was about two things that make me very happy, Baseball and Puppies. And I've been bragging on Sadie a lot. 
But as much as I love Sadie, my day was made by Rush Limbaugh calling me "The Magic Honky" because I defended President Obama and called him racist. Now, I don't believe I am "The Magic Honky," because if Obama is the Magic Negro, as Rush likes to say, well then clearly, I am not worthy. The Magic Honky would have to be someone at Obama's level, like Hillary Clinton, or maybe, if you thought about Dark Magic, Dick Cheney.
What really made me laugh, though, was this image up high on Limbaugh's Web site Thursday night. 
I'm flattered to be in a composite with the president and his grandmother, both of whom I admire. Again, I am not worthy. Thanks, Rush, for such a compliment.

congratulations Joan.
Maybe this will be a new Republican buzzword.
Loved that you called "crap" on the Chris Mathews show the other night.
If you can, can you make Rush go away? Please?
And if you can't do that(I understand, the magic world has rules!) can you grant me like lots of powers and I'll do it!!
;)
Congrats on the title. Not too many people that can put the title, "The Magic Honky" on their resume!!! Wooooo!! Stand proud!!!
:)
Love the puppy!
Never have been to Rush's website and am rather afraid to go now ;0)
I know you wear the title with honor, you Magic Honky, you!
Like must bullies, they can only throw sticks & stones and catchy phrases… you throw facts, truth and integrity, while keeping the high ground.

Snort...magic honky...hee hee hee hee hee! You go you magic mojo woman, you!
Someone help me please.
Kudos Joan.
Lives in old Frisco
And when she dares to tell the truth
Makes Rush's head explode
blows the horn of plenty,
when the peoples are in perils.
She socializes as she goes,
her schmoozing re-structures society
and solves everything!
She's a myth!
But Johnny-One-Note?
He's real. He toots and toots
all day, every day; all perils!
all the time! Always in a Rush
to bleat us dry!
Can we have a contest to figure out what year his time warp is stuck in? "Honky?" "Negro?" It's a good thing that Rush isn't fixated on race. Any bets on when he starts to call Obama a "Darky"?
I love the way rush's constituents, who have never cared about racism a day in their lives, are suddenly it's most aggrieved victims. I would laugh but it's so delusional it does worry me a bit.
The neighbors have black mules.
Love black mule who go heehaw.
I've used them to wish for lots of yogurt peanuts. Don't judge me.
And frolicks in the morning fog in a land called San Fran-cis-kay.
Big ol' Rushie Limbaugh fears that rascal Joan,
And calls her names with deceitful aims and all the while he moans.
Common sense people like you can get this done! Shaka!!
{goes into full-blown Veruca Salt tantrum}
My hat off to you Joan.
Got a Black Magic Honky

Make Rush so blind he can't see

Laughed so hard I just had to pee.
His dig to you amplifies his racism and makes him look ever the fool.
It's sad, so sad.... one can predict how history will squash him and his vile colleagues.......
Even if he can't spell, I like the term "magic honky". I think I want one for Christmas.
you should thank Rush for even mentioning your name on the most popular nationally syndicated talk show! I had never had heard about you before Rush mention your name. I doubt you actually heard the program. Magic Honkey is a compliment to you. I think you a moron.

Where did 'honky' start? What does it describe about the white folk?
Interesting how slang gets started...
People fear what they don't understand, except in the Fox News/Limbaugh, etc echo chamber. They know that their grandstanding and marketing of fear works. Killing granny does freak people out. Race baiting still does work. It shouldn't but it does.
Congrats on your promotion!
Should the Neocons establish their First Reich in this country Laimbo can have Goebel's(sic) job as Minister of Propaganda.

"Oh, I don't mind. He's harmless."
"I wonder how harmless such people are? To what extent civilization is retarded by the laughing jackasses, the empty-minded belittlers?"
O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, Hewitt . . . ask yourself: to what extent is civilization retarded by their empty-minded belittling, their laughing jackassery?
Bill could have alot of fun with this whole "honky" thing! ;)
Could you/would you perhaps explain that Rush's comments were made in response to your remarks made on TV where you made sweeping racial generalizations about "black people"?
Also, could you/would you remind everyone that the phrase "Magic Negro" was first coined by David Ehrenstein, a black man, in an article about Obama in the LA Times in March of 2007?
Thank you
Monte
It's enough to make a girl feel uppity!
Anyway, congratulations. This is a pinnacle of some sort.
lives at Salon
Her commentary is superb
Editorially sublime
Joan the Magic Honky
Goes on TV
To battle with
Those without wits
With sensible replies
Joan the Magic Honky
I faith-fully read
To be informed
In this absurd storm
Of of ignorance and lies
TA-DA!
I have never never never heard a black person say Honky. I think it is a white myth that it was ever really used by blacks. This is not to say that there are no African American Bigots.
Keep up the struggle! If we can be civil and hard hitting we will prevail. The rabble rousers are only preaching to the chorus. Unfortunately it's a larger chorus than most of us realize.
I digressed. Your commentary always brings civility to the program. Thanks again.

Gracious Joan: "Magic Honky of course."
Being a "Magic Honk[e]y" isn't so bad if it provides mental separation of one's self from a person who shares more commonalities with a canned ham than a human being.
My words can beat up your words.

I know you don't mean that you called Obama a racist! Ah, those pesky referents of pronouns.
AM Radio, last bastion of those unable to comprehend book larnin' reports so instead tune in to hear a publically acknowledged "leader" of their Party make racial and sexist jokes, with graphics.
Honky's an interesting word, not surprising Rush uses it.
AUWE
• 34% of Americans believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone
• 60% of Americans believe in UFOs
• 84% of remaining Republicans believe Rush Limbaugh cares about someone other than Rush Limbaugh and his pharmacist…
Finally...they've figured my White Selfs True Nature out!
Use hunky in a Sentence

–adjective Slang. 1. satisfactory; well; right.
To lump the blind advance to fascist economics in America of Joan Walsh with the Harvard-educated, self-conscious promotion of omnipotent government of the intention-delying Obomba is hunky-dorey, ok. They both lack a grasp of the concept at the root of America's founding, the ethical concept "individual rights". I suppose it is too much to ask you to read Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, on this subject. It would be entertaining to watch your stomachic reaction to inviting you to read America's moral philosopher, Ayn Rand, on that subject. But, just in case there is a reader devoted to reason, you'll find her plain-English explanation of "Man's Rights" in her book on political ethics, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal.
Laugh it up, Joan. There's a real woman with a mind gently replacing you by rational persuasion.
