THE NEW YORKER COVER WITH BARACK OBAMA...


[+] serious ballot by UncleRandy
ACTIVE Tue Jul 15, 08 - Sun Apr 10, 11

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has sharply criticized The New Yorker magazine over the publication's latest cover illustration, which appears to portray the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and his wife as terrorist enemies of the United States.

The cover, published Sunday, shows Obama in the Oval Office dressed in traditional Muslim attire. His wife, Michelle, wears an Afro hairstyle and has a machine gun slung over her back. An American flag can be seen burning in the fireplace, and a picture of Osama bin Laden hangs on the wall.

"The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. "But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."

I suggest they look up the meaning of the word "satire."
The New Yorker is just using all the asinine innuendo the Republicans are using to smear Obama.
The sad truth is that a lot of people believe the lies.
The media did it to Hillary, then attacked her for complaining, now it's Obama's turn.
I expect swift boating nonsense from the GOP noise machine. I didn't expect it from the New Yorker.
The New Yorker Cover is just that---A Satire
The New Yorker is a GENIUS!!!

Okay, now I want to see a cover with a caricature of Juan McCain flying on Charles Keating's private jet to some lavish vacations in the Bahamas.

Wait, that is something that really happened so I guess it is not newsworthy then. 017

Voted : The New Yorker is just using all the asinine innuendo the Republicans are using to smear Obama.
This is part of the Republican "surrogates" attack on Obama.

Since attacking Obama directly, opens McCain up to accusations of Racism, the Republica Party strategy is to use "surrogates" in the media to do the attacking.

Sean Hannity explained all this on Fox News and claimed he was a "surrogate" to in this strategy.

This is exactly what the cover is.

Using "their friends" in the media to do the smearing and dirty work for the McCain Campaign, therefore none of the attacks can be traced to his campaign.

It's another variation of the Swift Boat campaign. Bush never attacked Kerry's military credentials, the Republican Party got others to to it for him.

They are perpetuating the very thing they claim to be lambasting, and that's not good, and I believe it's intentional no matter what they say...

Would someone explain why he's being made to look like a terrorist (who hates our freedom)? I thought Obama was just another pro Iraq war renta-politician that would do and say anything to get into "power".
What has he done to provike this unfunny and unsubtle bad drawing?

Grimblecrumble, methinks that you need to scurry over to Obama's website and check out his platform on the issues.

That sounds like a very sensible thing to do. Or maybe I'll steer clear of these political ballots. No. Screw it! I'm going to check out this Obama cat and find out what he really thinks. I mean, when did a politician ever say one thing and then do another once he came into power?

"Unlike Senator John McCain, I opposed the war in Iraq before it began, and would end it as president. I believed it was a grave mistake to allow ourselves to be distracted from the fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban by invading a country that posed no imminent threat and had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks."
From Barack's own website. Does this mean that because he is against the war in Iraq he is siding with the terrorists and therefore he's a terrorist? It's all starting to make sense. Bush needs to act, and put Obama in Gitmo.

It makes one wonder exactly what kind of person would get bent out of shape over a cartoon...

In case you don't know why Cindy McCain is hold prescription pill bottles in the drawing.

This is from the Wikipedia Encyclopedia. There's more interesting stuff there too. About how she was banging John McCain while he was still married. Her Father Was A Muli-Millioniare too.

In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to opioid painkillers such as Percocet and Vicodin, which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five scandal. There, her role as a bookkeeper who had difficulty finding receipts for trips on Charles Keating's jet caused complications for her husband when he was already being examined for his role regarding oversight of Keating's bank. The addiction progressed to where she was taking upwards of twenty pills a day and she resorted to stealing drugs from her own AVMT. During 1992, Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT, discovered her drug theft. Subsequently in 1992, her parents staged an intervention to force her to get help; she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treatment facility, began outpatient sessions, and ended her three years of active addiction. A hysterectomy in 1993 resolved her back pain.
