Fellow panelist Joy Behar was also mistaken as to the origin of the term Limbaugh used. 'Limbaugh never backed off. Limbaugh never backed off though, it's not like he apologizes for that,' said Behar. Shepherd and Behar both appear to be unaware that 'Barack the Magic Negro' originated not with Rush Limbaugh and Paul Shanklin, but with David Ehrenstein, an African-American columnist for the Los Angeles Times.
The parody song Limbaugh aired is a direct reference to the relevant column."
