In fairness to the left the New Yorker hasn’t published anything funny in decades, including the cartoons.

I suspect the Dems will hold a congressional hearings appoint a task force that will impanel or empanel a blue ribbon report that will recommend a federal humor department be formed with undersecretaries for parody, irony, satire and Carrot Top. Now thats comedy.

“Obama’s arrogant sense of entitlement after only one actual year in the Senate begs for satire.”
Has he really been there that long? Due to missing so many votes, I thought it was a shorter period.

Jim, he WAS THERE MUCH, MUCH LONGER – he is holographic, yet bitter people simply don’t want to get that he generally was/is where he doesn’t appear to be. Simple explanation.

Obama’s biological father was a Communist, not a Muslim. His stepfather was originally a Communist too, but when the Suharto thing happened in 1965 stepdad had his scholarship money and visa pulled, so upon returning to Indonesia he got with the Islamist program. But, he did so only in the most superficial of ways, to insure his own survival. Led a double life of drinking and wenching too, which did not go over well with Obama’s mom.

Nearly all of Obama’s most influential influences and people were Marxists/Communists, not Muslims. Dr. Rashid Khalidi was a member of Arafat’s PLO and was nominally, but not devoutly, a Muslim. Louis Farahkan is a member of an organization that is not considered strict Sunni, orthodox Islam. It is a front organization, meant to rope in black American dopes looking for less than full throttle Islam. Any respect paid by Obama to Muslims and Muslim groups and governments falls under the Leftist ideology of multi-culti nonsense.

I seems the left is so anxious for the right to strike with racist, nasty, and false attacks, they have jumped the gun and did it themselves.

Yes.

This is just a typical Leftist tactic to use ad hominen in order to obliterate the credibility of the critic. It’s an example of why it is dangerous for these people to get power in D.C.

And yes.

While the current Obama camp spin that the ‘toon is an insult to Muslims is just more of the phony, insincere, “we’ve got the high ground” posturing.

If I was McCain I would have t-shirts made up with that image. I’d wear one

I knew the cover art was not an accurate portraiture when I noticed Michelle lacked her $600 earrings…

That’s what Michelle suggested one might wind up doing with their tax rebate. I guess she was recalling the folks in NOLA who used their FEMA cards to buy Gucci handbags etc.

And now Nancy & crowd are making noises about yet another round of rebates to the American citizen or (perhaps more accurately in their view) the American consumer.

Eeks, those are your philosophical compadres, Michelle, who want to enable you to buy yet another pair of earrings !

I love when liberals attack. This election cycle has been the most entertaining ever, to watch how one lefty camp tries to out victimize the other lefty camp. They have demonstrated the complete idiocy of being PC. Can’t say anything about Hilary, she’s a woman, can’t say anything about Barak, he’s black and has muslim relatives.

The only real surprise in all of this is that the cover was on the NewYorker. I thought that they (lefty publications) weren’t allowed to speak blaspheme against St. Obama. They’re going to lose their liberal club membership card.

I believe that it is not “new” or recent that people don’t get satire. I think a lot of people are just not raised to have that thirst for knowledge of any kind. Mean, selfish parents raise dumb kids. As far as I’m concerned, sarcasm is a basic survival skill. The cartoon stunk, anyway.
