Check out the cover that will adorn Monday’s The New Yorker:
[Obama] Spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement: “The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama’s right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree.”
Not to be outdone…
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds quickly e-mailed: “We completely agree with the Obama campaign, it’s tasteless and offensive.”
For crying out-fucking-loud! This is political correctness gone amuck on the part of both campaigns. The caricature is clearly satire, and done in the best tradition of editorial cartooning. It mocks those who are truly tasteless offensive and, frankly, un-American: those right-wing retards who actually spread the “Obama is a radical Muslim who hates our freedoms and his wife is an angry psychopath who hates America” bullshit.
You know, Wingnut retards like the Clark County Republican Party and the Island County Republican Party.
If you want to express outrage (or even take mild offense), go after the assholes who disseminate such lies…not a magazine using satire to belittle them.
Update: The artist who drew the cover (Barry Blitt) responds.
typical white person (rob) spews:
I think it is an accurate family portrait? Michelle is sexy in with the afro, AK 47 and combat boots and Osama Obama has already posed in Muslim dress before. Osama Obama’s BFF Bill Aryers is already photographed stomping on the American Flag.
What’s the problem?
Jane Balough's Dog spews:
This is the first New Yorker magazine cover that made me proud to be an American. You donks sure can dish out the lies but can’t handle the truth.

You may want to try again genius.

I think a better response from the Obama campaign would have been something along the lines of, “We’re glad to see these ridiculous rumours being treated like jokes, as they should be.”

Re: 12, Rumors? what rumors?
Jane Balough's Dog spews:
Actually Rush said it best “Satire which is based in truth works”.
typical white person (rob) spews:
RE: 12, Rumors, I haven’t seen any rumors of Michelle Obama with an AK 47, afro and combat boots. I have seen actual pictures of Osama Obama dressed like he is in the magazine cover (thanks Hillary) I have seen Obama supporter Bill Ayers stomping the American flag (along with several Obama supporters here locally). I haven’t seen a picture of Osama Obama hanging over the fireplace but I haven’t been in the Osama Obama home.

Where’s your OUTRAGE over the smearing of John Kerry…a LEGITIMATE war hero. McSame got shot down. OK…respect for that. But he has yet to support veterans in any meaningful way, and can’t even manage his own fucking campaign. He’s unfit for this office.

So do you liberals really accept people like the pussy rujax in you midst just to win an election? Of course then there is Darryl who has to have a right winger come over and fix his stupid post because “liberals always need someone to do for them”.
John McCain is a hero, Even Osama Obama admits that, On the other hand Osama Obama is not a hero, he has never done anything in his life to make America a better place.
Obama is compared by allot of you dumb fucks to John F. Kennedy, John F. Kenney was also a war hero, he risked his life like John McCain to save his crew. He also served in the House and the senate for 8 years.
Borack Obama is not a war hero, he is even to afraid to debate one. He has served in the senate for 143 days and you believe he would make a good president.

Roger Rabbit spews:
Newsweek Earns An ‘F’ In Ethics
The New Yorker isn’t the only publication to step on its dick this week. Read this crap from Newsweek:
“Dark deeds have been conducted in the name of the United States government in recent years: the gruesome, late-night circus at Abu Ghraib, the beating to death of captives in Afghanistan, and the officially sanctioned waterboarding and brutalization of high-value Qaeda prisoners. Now demands are growing for senior administration officials to be held accountable and punished. Congressional liberals, human-rights groups and other activists are urging a criminal investigation into high-level ‘war crimes,’ including the Bush administration’s approval of interrogation methods considered by many to be torture.
“It’s a bad idea. In fact, President George W. Bush ought to pardon any official from cabinet secretary on down who might plausibly face prosecution for interrogation methods approved by administration lawyers. (It would be unseemly for Bush to pardon Vice President Dick Cheney or himself, but the next president wouldn’t allow them to be prosecuted anyway—galling as that may be to critics.) The reason for pardons is simple: what this country needs most is a full and true accounting of what took place. …
“Pardons would further a truth commission’s most important goals: to uncover all important facts, identify innocent victims to be compensated, foster a serious conversation about what U.S. interrogation rules should be, recommend legal reforms, pave the way for appropriate apologies and restore America’s good name.”
(Quoted under fair use.)
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Give me a fucking break. What Newsweek proposes is the moral equivalent of letting Gary Ridgway go free in exchange for telling us where the bodies are. I can’t remember, in my lifetime, such an appalling moral failure by a major publication.
Stephen Schwartz spews:
Personally I am on Darryl’s side here … though I do think (and expect) something equally satiric to emrge for McC.

Re: 33, look pussy, I wasn’t in the national guard, Mi Lai was an isolated incident in a 10,000 day war, and you are a coward.
As for what a communist is? This is my take on it. A communist is someone who takes over a village, rapes the elders wife and children in front of him and thin disenbowels him.
I love killing communists!
mirror spews:
90% of AMERICA doesn’t get this kind of satire/irony. They just don’t.
I think it’s funny, but the New Yorker should know better about what most people will see, does know better. I feel it is consciously or unconsciously intended to be a political attack on the Obamas.

What makes you ignorant is your assumed intellectual superiority to anyone you perceive as “right-wing”. That is evident in every one of your posts. You’re so much smarter that you know what’s “really” going on in the world. Unlike the rest of us poor, deluded saps.

“This Is My Rifle”
THIS IS MY RIFLE. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.
My rifle, without me is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will….
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count.
We will hit…
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights, and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…
Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy, but Peace!
THE CREED OF THE U.S.M.C.

@58…M…
The New Yorker is a magazine for literate people. No wonder its appeal escapes you.
Political POV aside, it has some of the best pure writing of any publication on the newstands today. Not to mention its cartoons, which are liberally (see…the word occasionally works) scattered throughout its pages, are legendary.
That the Obama campaign is thin skinned about the cover betrays, perhaps, a weaker than expected confidence in its candidate?
Could be…
That the McCain campaign joined in criticizing the cover? Sort of a variation on the theme of “damned with faint praise.”
In the meanwhile – to give Darryl his due – the satiric nature of the cover speaks for itself. And until you’ve read the several thousand word think piece that goes along with it, how can you really discern the intent of the cover?
Heck…were I Barak Obama, I’d jolly well get in touch with the cover artist, ask for a signed original, have it framed, and hang it prominently in my office. Nothing better to diffuse any suspicion than to embrace the thing in order to be in on the joke.
In the meantime, he might want to consider thickening his skin. Anyone who wants to be President better get used to stuff like this…and worse.
After all, the HA Happy Hooligans will eventually turn on him, and we all know the level of vitriol they can disgorge. Talk about your Bay of Pigs!

“Michelle Obama was not proud of her country until 2008.”
Bull-fucking-shit, Pud. Come on, man, you aren’t that stupid and shallow.
If you take the stoopid interpretation of Ms. Obama’s statement, then what do you make of McCain’s “I really didn’t love America until I was deprived of her company”?

regarding Michelle Obama – she said:
“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”, she told a Milwaukee crowd today on 2-18-2008.
Now for the facts:
Didn’t Toni Morrison tell all of us we elected the first black president in 1992? Just checking…
I guess she’s not proud it was a Republican who nominated the first black to be Secretary of State?
I guess she’s not proud a black woman was national Security Advisor? And this black woman is a certified pianist and Russian Scholar?
I guess she’s upset the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 because Reagan prodded Gorbachev in Reykjavik?
I suppose she wants the Cold War to continue?
I guess she loved Nicolae Ceausescu?
I guess she’s upset that the most popular TV show in the 80s was Cosby which had an all-black cast? Oh wait He’s a doctor and she was a lawyer. A black woman lawyer. Oh shucks she couldn’t play the part. Never saw them practicing on the show. Maybe that upset Michelle.
I guess she’s upset that Oprah became a TV icon and is worth $1MMM dollars or more? Maybe cuz Oprah didn’t become a mutha is upsetting Michelle?
I guess going to Harvard Law as a black woman was a disgusting act?
Maybe she didn’t love the country the way jesse jackson was holding it by the nuts. Since he wanted to cut off her husband’s nuts is she not proud again?

Longer than that. McCain recently claimed it’s tough to be proud of the United States. This is a man whose own statements indicate that he still hates his country. His claim (made multiple times) that the country’s economic problems are all in our heads is further evidence of his disrespect for his country and its citizens.

@132 Silly troll. Trolls are fascist enablers by virtue of their transmitting the extreme-right-wing talking points.

I am not of the left. I’m sure my thoughts of spending money on golf courses instead of the homeless doesn’t jive with them. High Point Housing project would make a great golf course. We could still put one in Discovery Park. HOV lanes suck. Development is not evil in itself any more than any other value is. A strong economy does more for the poor than any social program. No, I’m not of the left. But I’ll ally with them against evil pricks like you any day of the week.
The image of the Republican party is now one of a failed war, a failed economy, a debt to last generations, theo-crazy gubmint, moral decadance, stripped resourses, America’s decline, as well as being the party of disgusting America-hating internet commie-fascist trolls.

Of course that fascist shit doesn’t go over very well.
Why else would obama be changing his views on everything from guns to abortions to withdrawing troops from iraq. It’s the same activity all democrat candidates do when trying to appeal to the rest of the country.
Say one thing in the primaries, something different in the general election. Obama, the man of change. Just not the change the left had hoped for. The left hoped that obama would stand up for his principles instead of being like every other pandering politician. I head obama might give up on his nascar sponsorship.
Considering obama still hasn’t released his fundraising totals from the last month it isn’t looking good. His donations have been dropping the last few months.

This is even better than the right-wing gun nuts wanted. Obama is now going to fund and supply weapons to civilians. And not just half ass funding, he wants us civilians to be just as powerful and strong as the real military.
How do liberals feel about this? Or is this simply another lie to get elected and liberals don’t care if their president is a liar before he even gets into office.

Marvin (at 12:21 PM)
No, Marvin. It’s what happens when the trolls start piling on from all sides. It’s frustrating and annoying to have folks spew drivel, just looking for a reaction.
Let’s face it. As a wide-open liberal blog, most of you righties aren’t here for the discussion. You’re here to annoy the liberals. Then, on those occasions when you succeed, you start claiming that this shows how full of hate we are.
No, we aren’t “full of hate”, and when you deliberately try to provoke anger, it’s more than slightly hypocritical to act offended when someone gets angry.
But you already know that.
As to the topic of this thread. We have righties that have, on this very board, pointed at the cover of the New Yorker and said “This is the first New Yorker magazine cover that made me proud to be an American. You donks sure can dish out the lies but can’t handle the truth.”
As I doubt that Ms Dog would know satire if it bit her on the butt, I’m figuring that she meant every word, and that she and her ilk will be pointing at the cover and using it as propaganda.
The more sophisticated among them will use the line about how satire must have a grain of truth to work.
No, the reason for the cover is just someone realizing that it will cause controversy, and as such, will sell magazines. The New Yorker has made the decision that circulation is more important than ethics, as has the artist.
Rick D. spews:
The fact that the liberals on this thread are so offended by the New Yorker Mag cover just highlights how thin-skinned they are. Just like when they call Bush a “chimp” and then get offended when someone compares Obama’s satellite ears to those of “curious George”.
If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out, kids.
As for John B @ 150, this site is nothing but wall to wall drivel and most times resembles only a hate site led by the lead Donkey Goldy. Don’t try to post like you’re holier than thou when you know full well the extent of the hate that is exhibited by Goldy’s faithful marionettes like YLB, ByByGobstopper, Roger Regurgitated Roadkill, et al.
gaddabout gaddis (the flying fisherman) spews:
It’s poor satire because it feeds the preconceptions of the right. Our fear is that there are too many in the right’s ‘base’ that will take the picture as a serious representation of the Obamas.
It packs a lot of cliches into itself. Negative cultural cliches are the bread and butter of the manipulative politics of the right. There’s no need for the supposedly intellectual New Yorker to provide grist for the noise machine’s mill.
John Barelli is spot-on correct in his analysis.
John Barelli spews:
Mr. D.
Again, the folks running this site make no secret that it is a liberal blog. Neocons and other far-right folks like you aren’t posting here because you’re looking for debate.
You’re looking to poke a stick at the liberals.
If the site was as bad as you claim, then you would simply remove it from your “favorites” list, and we’d never hear from you again.
My guess is that you neocons come here to break up any debate simply because some effective discussion actually happens here.
As long as you can keep everyone riled up, and keep the rhetoric level at “max”, you know that effective discussion of issues is much more difficult.
And since you neocons cannot tolerate actual discussion and debate (as it shows the emptyness and hatred in your philosophy) you come here to prevent it.
I know how angry some of the posters here get when dealing with the likes of you, and cannot blame them. While I’m sure that you don’t (or more likely won’t) see it, your own post is a perfect example.

Hey, Puddy. Long time, no argue.
I was really sorry to hear that you’d switched on Senator Obama. Yes, I understand that some of his positions are real problems for you (especially on abortion), but I was still disappointed.
The comment about Michelle Obama is more than a bit over the top, don’t you think? Heck, even Laura Bush figured out what she was talking about.
The one real point that you could make about her statement is that it shows that she doesn’t have much experience in hardball politics, where the slightest misstatement will be pounced upon and never forgotten.
One of these days we’re going to have to sit down over lunch and have a discussion of issues. DL is a bit out of the way for me, especially as I do not like to drive after having drunken anything stronger than Diet Pepsi.
(The last time I drank enough to be legally impared was in 1979, but even so, if I ever got into an accident where someone was hurt, the fact that I was “legal” wouldn’t make me feel any better about it.)

John Barelli: I joined the “No Presidential Candidate for ME Crowd” after I started investigating some of Barack’s positions. HAs clueless idiot kept telling me Barack was the most liberal senator in America so how could I vote for him. Since that was soooooooooo important to HAs clueless idiot, I started performing some PuddyResearch. Well the more I PuddySearched the stranger it became. I posted some YouTube events here. They were ignored by the 16%ers because they revealed a Barack most of you want to hide from.
So in reality Barack lost my vote due to HAs clueless idiot. If he didn’t keep attacking me for voting for him I would have blindly voted for him as a black man. HAs clueless idiot had no argument because if you go back to 2005 or 2006 I first stated I didn’t like John McCain. But I already proved Robert Bennett wanted to remove McCain from the Keating 5 because he didn’t do anything wrong and leave the 4 Donkey Senators to take the fall but for Common Cause because they needed McCain to make it not look partisan which in reality is was.

Obama said:”I’m going to call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and give them a new mission, and that is to bring the war in Iraq to a close. We are going to get out.”
There is a small problem with Obama’s statement. The JCoS do not have operational command of U.S. military forces. The various commanders of the various UCCs (Unified Combatant Commands) control the soldiers. That’s why Schwartzkopf was on TV so much. I guess Obama didn’t pay attention.

You call Daddy Love “Nambla” for no better reason than his handle and characterize ACLU as being for pedophilia because they represented NAMBLA when someone tried to sue them for something they had nothing to with.

He has to go up against the establishment, which would be Republican, and he has to figure out a way to get a fair vote, if he’s the nominee, in those red states.”
John Barelli spews:
Well, Pud, I take YouTubes from liberals with more than just a pinch of salt, and stuff posted by the far right simply gets ignored.
Frankly, there are more than just a few folks over on my side of the aisle that are angry with Senator Obama because the position that they expected him to have differed from the position he actually held.
So (for example), somehow this Constitutional scholar that had said that he believed that the Constitutional right to bear arms was an individual right managed to annoy some of us by agreeing with the Supreme Court when it said the same thing.
(None of which, of course, says that he doesn’t deplore the level of violence in the cities. Just that the Constitution doesn’t allow blanket prohibitions of guns.)
I don’t agree with Senator Obama about all of his positions (I’m more than slightly annoyed about the FISA vote, for example) but I think he’s being honest about his positions (folks talking about “flip-flopping” are generally folks that never bothered to actually learn what his original position was) and really will try to do what he sees as best for our country.
So, while I can understand that you may decide you cannot vote for Senator Obama due to his positions on some issues, don’t let some YouTube posts (and certainly don’t let any post here) be the deciding factor.
As for Senator McCain, any debate about the Keating debacle is, at this point, moot. His current stands on torture, the war, and the economy make him unacceptable.
As Christians, we both know that when the choice is between torturing someone and dying, we’re supposed to be willing to die. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
And at this point, when the Iraqi government is publicly asking for a timetable for our withdrawing troops, anyone suggesting that we should be staying in Iraq indefinitely is simply refusing to face reality.
And the idea that removing a tax on the oil companies will somehow lower gas prices (rather than further enrich the oil companies) suggests that the man is either completely clueless about the situation or is being deliberatly deceptive.

Why don’t people enforce the existing laws? You use a gun in a crime there is no plea bargain. Up the river with the maximum even if they tried to kill bybygoober.
Now regarding the tax on oil companies, he’s talking about the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon. That’s greater than the 9.5 cents profit after taxes. What people jump all over is the $10MMM profit/quarter after they paid over $15MMM Federal taxes above the 18.4 we pay direct to the Feds.

John Barelli spews:
Puddybud (at 3:21 PM)
Well, Pud, you have to go back to the original quotes, rather than what the pundits said about them.
In your example, folks said a lot of things about what Senator Obama said. The actual quotes from the Senator are:
So, the Senator wasn’t giving a specific endorsement of the DC gun law, but making the simple statement that gun laws per se were not automatically illegal.
As a Senator from Illinois, I doubt that he actually studied the DC law in the kind of detail that would have been required to say whether it was Constitutional or not.
And considering that it took a small army of lawyers and a bunch of judges to come to a rather divided opinion on that law, I can’t really blame him for simply making a general statement of his beliefs and leaving it at that.
As for why they don’t follow your suggestion about no plea bargains and maximum sentencing, well, the courts and prisons are jammed to overflowing. Mind you, I don’t necessarily disagree, but still, there’s got to be a better solution.
Oh, and as for the talk of 9.5 cents profit after taxes.
If I have a product that cost me a dollar, then I sell it to my buddy for two dollars, and he sells it to his buddy for three dollars, and he sells it to another buddy for four dollars, who then sells it back to me for four dollars, ninety and one-half cents, I can legitimately claim that when I sell it to you for five dollars, I’ve only made 9.5 cents profit.
But… somewhere in this mix, there was a total of four dollars of profit on that product.
And while the oil companies did pay quite a bit in taxes, they also received large sums in tax credits and outright subsidies.
How much? We may never know. There are so many interlocking boards, related companies, offshore accounts, etc… that it’s a bookkeepers nightmare.
But according to their own corporate reports, ExxonMobil is currently the most profitable company in the world. If people are willing to shell out (pun intended) 4.25 per gallon of gas, that is what they will charge, and any reduction in taxes will go to the corporate bottom line.
By the way, I really can’t get angry at ExxonMobil for that. They’re a corporation, and it’s what they’re supposed to do. Maximize profits.
If our government is so lax with public dollars (in subsidies and credits) that ExxonMobil can take some, then I would expect it.
You can’t get angry at a pig for eating your dinner if you put it in the trough.

Seriously? Have you never visited daily kos? Tony Snow dies, huffington has to ban all comments because she knows the disgusting words that will be spewed in the comments. Want me to find a link of disgusting things said about tony’s death? Yeah, I already know that beneath the skin of a liberal is a hater.
Unfortunately, that is the drag about freedom of speech, everyone gets it. Speaking of freedom of speech, why is it only people on the left that are for the fairness doctrine?
I believe the facts say otherwise depicted in the cover.
Another great thing about america, you get to believe that.
Yeah, funny how the smart people make the rules and then it comes back to bite them on the ass.
I wonder in the past when the artist has drawn “satire” about republicans if the readers assumed that was an actual representation of republicans because they wanted to believe the worst.
For one thing, the new yorker is a business. If I owned a piece of them, they better try and figure out how to make a profit. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m sure you feel the same way.
Ethics because someone doesn’t see the satire in their satire? Isn’t that what makes america so great, we all don’t have to agree on what “art” is.

Cora,
I understand your sadness and I share in it. That cover takes me back to being a child and seeing a caricature of “Sambo” in a book. I remember how upset I felt as a little Black girl seeing that cartoon that was meant to demean an entire group of people. I believe that this cover is part of a consistent effort on the part of the media to destroy Barack and Michelle. It has been confirmed to me tonight. I will continue to pray for their safety because I believe that these types of images help to sow the seeds of hatred. I shudder to think what this type of cover will provoke the crazy bigots to do. This is so upsetting.

John Barelli spews:
With regards to Senator Obama’s mention of the Joint Chiefs.
You both realize, I presume, that one of the tasks of the Joint Chiefs is to act as the primary uniformed advisors to the President.
Presidents (even President Bush) routinely consult directly with the Joint Chiefs, and yes, the President gets to set the overall mission.
I would expect the President, upon deciding on a new overall mission, to consult the Joint Chiefs, both for input as to the practical applications and effects of the new mission, and because the Joint Chiefs will be the folks issuing many of the implementing directives.
Will he consult with SecDef and others? Certainly. It’s likely that he and his choice for SecDef will have long planning meeting prior to inauguration day. Certainly the SecDef will be standing right beside him as he speaks to the Joint Chiefs.
As any military member knows, the Commanding Officer will often address his/her command to spell out a new mission. As Commander-in-Chief, Senator Obama is saying that he will do just that with the Joint Chiefs. He’ll give them a new mission, and has already said that he’ll ask for their input on how best to carry out that mission.
So, to somehow claim that Senator Obama doesn’t understand the Defense Department because he didn’t list everyone that would be party to that meeting or the planning that will go into it is simply disingenuous.
But, you already knew that.

Regarding NAMBLA – what does the name mean? Why would someone want to support their right to do that?
Hardly anyone in their right mind does but that doesn’t mean they aren’t entitled to civil rights just like people with darker skin color.

The Republicans let people like Micky Edwards know that they’re no longer welcome in the party, all the while embracing the likes of Larry Craig and David Vitter.

So back to Obama. He is trying to be on both sides of the issue. The Constitution is there for a reason. A city, county or state can’t arbitrarily take away a right unless through a constitutional convention and 3/4 states ratify the change. So he claims a common sense reason to modify gun ownership. Well how is gonna modify criminal minds? Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Lock up the scum and gun violence drops. Let silly libbie judges loose and gun violence goes up.
So Obama was trying to play both sides and he was wrong.

“135. YLB spews: Poor Stupes – he’s made his bed with the little Rickie Dumbasses of the world who call Obama a monkey.”
Apparently you misunderstood what YLB was saying. He most certainly was NOT claiming that you were calling Obama a monkey.
You asked a question:
“Where did I agree or call Barack a monkey except in your silly stupid mind?”
And I asked where someone made either claim (agree with or actually call Obama a monkey). You’ve not shown evidence of either.
“HAs clueless idiot always uses his single attack method, Guilt By Association.”
No…he was not implying that YOU call or condone calling Obama a monkey. Hence, I must conclude that you misunderstood YLB’s response.
But, more importantly, Puddy, we are still wondering if McCain’s statement, “I really didn’t love America until I was deprived of her company” makes him a traitor in your eyes. (And by asking the question I am not suggesting that you are [or are not] a McCain fan)

OOoops!!
The Chitown Assclown has had a free ride this entire election, so it’s always nice to see when a message get’s misinterpreted and ends up lampooning the very guy they intended to help.When Barry OhBummer loses in November, look for this cover to be one of the excuses given by the nutty left as to why yet again, in a down year for Republican’s and its brand, Democrats failed yet again to ascend to the White House.

At first, my reaction was similar to that of Atrios – I see what they’re getting at, but it was all too accurate a representation of the way idiots see the Obamas so it wasn’t all that funny. But then I looked over this thread and some of the other reactions by conservatives, and I’m coming around to the view that the cartoon was pretty darned good.
Some of the best satire is found when the targets don’t realize they’re being made fun of. And so I say to G. Gordon Liddy, Jonah Goldberg, Atlas Juggs, our resident Stuck on Stupids, and so many others: Thanks for the laughs.
GBS spews:
Actually, when you think about it, this is the best thing that the New Yorker could have done.
Look at the firestorm in the media it created. All the lies brought to bear on all the news stations. They had NO CHOICE but to address all the lies spready by the Republicans.
For all the IDIOTS that believed these rumors they now realize it was all bullshit.
Obama’s camp played this just right. By getting on the defensive right away, it caused the media to give it more coverage than the normally would. McCain was forced to condem the cover, he agrees with the LEFT!! – the Flipper.
By the end of the week so much will be talked about the lies on this cover that no reasonable person will believe them any more.
For the piece of shit morons who insist on believing that those lies are the truth, well, those are the same idiots who think George W. Bush is a good president. You can’t fix stupid.

‘When someone says:”Poor Stupes – he’s made his bed with the little Rickie Dumbasses of the world who call Obama a monkey.’
‘What does the phrase “make you bed with” mean? Take you time Darryl. From there you go downhill fast.’
Sure…I’m happy to explain.
First: What it DOESN’T mean (or even imply) is that YOU have called Obama a monkey.
Second: What it DOES mean is that “little Rickie Dumbasses of the world” have called Obama a monkey.
Third: It suggests that you have ideologically aligned yourself with a particular side. And some members of that side have called Obama a monkey.
The intent of the comment was to point out that your ideological positions have puts you on the “same team” as the bigots. The point wasn’t to imply that you are a bigot, rather it was intended to shame you (who the author expects would find the monkey comments distasteful) for putting yourself in ideological proximity of those who take it too far.
Your mistake was in assuming the author was implying you were a bigot. It wasn’t…in fact, the statement is only effective if the author knew you would find the “monkey” statements distasteful.
Hope that offers some clarification. (Oh…and please note that I have not offered support or disagreement with the original statement. My original comment simply pointed out your misunderstanding of the author’s meaning).
So…I’ve answered your question, how about you answer my question.
We are still wondering if McCain’s statement, “I really didn’t love America until I was deprived of her company” makes him a traitor in your eyes.

“I have stated my disdain for McCain so that’s my final answer.”

“…he indirectly is calling me a bigot.”
No he didn’t. You misunderstand. He was saying that you hang out with bigots in an ideological sense. Not the same thing.
“He claims I hang with the people he claims to have called Obama a monkey; plain and simple.”
Right…but that is NOT the same thing as calling you a bigot. That is, essentially, saying, “Your ideology has led you to stoop to hanging in the same camps as bigots,” knowing full well that you dislike bigotry.

@251 and 252, Sorry, but at this point you guys are starting to bore me. Come up with something a little more imaginative and I’ll consider responding.
For my fascist trolls reading pleasure,

You’re both fucking fascist tools, asswipes.
Rick D. spews:
More Projection Steve? Hmmm
….don’t look now Steveyboy, but your tolerance is showing.
I-Burn spews:
@ 254
I pity you Steve. Seriously. Good luck to you, in the future. You’re going to need it.
Steve spews:
@255, 256 Hmm, apparently there’s little more than half a brain between the two of you. Try working together off-line on this. Maybe then you’ll come up with something worth a response. Until then, fuck off, twits.
I-Burn spews:
@257
Pretty pathetic, Steve. Keep trying though. And like I said before…Good luck to you in the future. You’re going to need it.
Steve spews:
@258 You’re now a waste of my time.
I-Burn spews:
@260
My heart bleeds.
Steve spews:
@260 Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Phst! Wha?? Oh, it’s you again. Dumbass. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I-Burn spews:
@261
Goddamn, that was almost funny, in a silly grade school sort of a way. Still pathetic, but I wouldn’t expect anything else.
Steve spews:
@262 Heads up, I-Burn. On the other thread Marvin’s offering $20 to suck some cock, preferably mine, but since I’ve turned him down I’m sure you’ll do in a pinch. Hey, this could be your chance to finally score!
I-Burn spews:
@263
Stupid gay innuendo is the best you can do? Pathetic Steve, just goddamned pathetic.
Steve spews:
@264 I hadn’t heard from either one of you. Did you guys hook up?
I-Burn spews:
@265
See #264
Steve spews:
@266 I take it that Marvin, um, stiffed you for the $20. That cad!
I-Burn spews:
@267
You’ve already made a fool of yourself, Steve, old boy. I’d suggest you just slink on out before you compound that pitiful lack of judgement.
Steve spews:
@269 You need to take this up with Marvin. He’s the one who owes you money. By the way, are you black? If so, he owes you double.
I-Burn spews:
@270
I’ll pray for you Steve. You obviously have some serious issues to deal with.
Steve spews:
End of discussion, troll.
I-Burn spews:
@271
Probably a good idea, Steve.
Rick D. spews:
@ 271
Steve thought he was part of a discussion? Wow, the boy is even more delusional that I previously thought.
Steve spews:
It’s not my blog and I was kindly asked to stop by a couple of people I respect. So no more from me. Do what you will.
Rick D. spews:
Well, they were right steve. In your case it is better to quit while your still behind.
Maybe some reflection on the last 3 hours of posting might help you work through that so as not to repeat it in the future. Good Luck, mate.
Steve spews:
@275 Uh-huh, whatever, Rick.
