NBC, accuses Rush Limbaugh of mocking Barrack Obama.  Ian, Hot Air, has the video.

Yet for all the pomposity, NBC, blindly or willfully, misses the point.  Clarence Page explains what NBC missed:

The song actually mocks Sharpton more

It is a leftard myth that law enforcement officers stop motorists based on the color of their skin.   As if you can acually identify skin color looking through the tinted glass of modern vehicles.  Oh well.
