LETTER: Who is Barnes to bash Limbaugh?

By Bryan Chapman, Hartsburg

Tracy Barnes recently wrote a piece ripping Rush Limbaugh, asking, among other things, why anybody would listen to a college dropout. My question would be: Who cares what a 2008 college graduate thinks about the world? It's true that Rush called Barack "the magic Negro," but he didn't create the term — it was coined by a black person.

Twenty million people a day listen to Rush. How many read your paper?
