Coincidence?

In case you haven't heard, Rush Limbaugh has been getting a bit more attention as of late thanks to another one of his wildly creative, ahem, "musical parodies," this one entitled, "Barack, The Magic Negro." He's proud of manufacturing it, of course. I think Tom Tomorrow covered this area of public discourse quite nicely not too long ago:
"Maybe Coulter’s explanation for that little “faggot” remark really should be taken at face value: it was a schoolyard taunt — which is all these people are apparently capable of."

All that considered, should we really be the least bit surprised to see whom Republican congressman Ted Poe decided to quote the other day—on the floor of the House, no less? It's not surprising to me that there are some people who aren't overly offended by these types of remarks ... it's just a little disturbing to think of how many would, in fact, support them.
