I support Obama and will vote for him because I can. I don't have a problem with this cover. Those who do, should ask themselves the question that I ask often to the left and right. What are you afraid of ? As a free thinking American, I think we are behond politically correctness and have gone over the edge of not being able to express ourselves. This is a great cover that will launch many great conversations about what we need to discuss. This Liberal mag will be attacked by their brothers and sisters on the far left for this. The only problem the far right will have with this is; it's not theirs. Those that swear the media is slanted to the left. How do you explain this cover from this source ? http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/07/14/obama-cartoon.html great satire !
NEW YORKER COVER :
- Thread starter bryanz
- Start date
it's not a question of being afraid of anything...it's about showing a guy who may be the president of the u.s. some respect. imo it's okay to do satire, but it's not okay to insult the guy. as i said in another thread, it's disgusting how low the media has gotten just to sell a product.
As bad as Rush the Lush. He says what ever he wants and no one questions him. Even lately against Mc Cain.
I think it's hilarious how certain 'elements' read so much into a 'fist bump' between man and wife.

i guess i am one of them because i don't care for it either....don't think it's presidential...but maybe i am old fashioned.
it`s not a shot at obama...it`s a shot at conservatives by using a caricature to depict the obama`s as liberals believe neocons see them.....
it`s the old"you`re all fear mongering racists" saw.....
there using caricatures to insulate him from anyone addressing his shaky associations,his assinine comments about "whitey" from his book, etc......
well guess what...all that stuff is gonna be addressed...just like all the low blows about mccain`s age and how he actually "was a traitor" in viet nam.....
these are the times we live in...:shrug:

i just heard on tv a response from a spokesperson from the nyer saying the samething that you posted above gw....the only word i can think of is...unbelieveable...
i agree with you,ar.....i think their objective went un-met.....
i do know the new yorker is a very liberal rag...so,i believe them...
it was just very poorly executed....
(what was that comment an old basketball coach made when asked about his team`s execution after a terrible loss.......i think he said,"i`m all for it").....
lol
gw...just for the record that quote is from john mckay when he was the coach of that terrible buc team lost about 25 ? straight) many years ago....
a reporter asked him what do you think about your team's execution..he said i'm all for it....(great line...:142smilie ).
it`s an elistist, liberal magazine...if you were standing in front of eddie haskell`s coffee table and happened to look down,it`s more than likely you`d see it...
heres the cover that caused all the stink...
now i`m getting it...i`m reading that the new yorker is more pro-hillary than obama......
i wonder what would have happened if when someone asked obama about that cover,he just responded,"it`s pretty funny" and laughed..........
what can you say to that?...how could he possible not come off better?...to laugh along with it......
would have been a master stroke of genius,imo...
people who can`t laugh at themselves are scary....

if obama is indeed a muslim......can the cartoon riots be that far off?...

next thing you know,smurphy will have an avatar with obama wearing a turban with a bomb in it....:lol:

Not much difference between this cover http://www.plasticbag.org/archives/2004/11/how_can_59054087_people_be_so_dumb/ and the NYorker. Both just explaining the same thing.
You don't care for the fist bump with his wife? Is that what you're actually saying? It bothers you? Not presidential?
Just trying to clarify.
no...i think ar1 is referring to the fact that michelle obama`s hips are way too small in this photo...
/i`m a little devil...
