The New Yorker Obama cartoon. My gosh, Barack. Lighten up!

The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, who says they are a liberal publication, explains the cover is an attempt to lampoon the lies about Obama's background. He hopes to help the senator. He said so.

However, the man on the street said the most offensive thing was the American flag burning in the fireplace. LOL.

See, Barack, this isn't really about you. It's about America.

Chris Matthews and Company and other liberal cable news outlet programs are half nuts because they're afraid he'll be derailed by things like this. If he's got the right stuff, he'll make it.

Lincoln was made to look like an ape in some of the more yellow papers. But with this media, Obama going to need armor and Michelle's going to have to keep her mouth shut, I suppose

BTW, if I were the editor of the New Yorker, there's NO way I'd have published that cover. It's a terrible decision. Terrible. I fail to see the satire from the left's point of view, only from the right's. It's extremely offensive to Senator and Mrs. Obama.

Sorry, New Yorker staff, I think you need to look inside yourselves and ask what Messrs Conde and Nast would do. Oh, wait. They are Conde Nast. With liberal friends like you Senator Obama might ask who needs enemies?

Maybe they need to call their buds at Salon and meet for a drink. I think their white guilt and fear that they're not helping Obama enough has screwed them up; in other words, they've lost their judgment. I can't imagine any other reason someone who is a friend of Obama would run such a terrible cartoon and think this would help.

It only perpetuates every negative image from the absent flag pin to the Osama sound alike name to the AK47 to the Muslim thing. I guess it's their arrogance on parade that shocks me so. I mean, ask yourself this question.

Not that the idiom is the same (I can't think of a magazine editor right now) but would Ben Bradlee allow such a thing?

Okay, Henry Luce? Do you see where we are in America? Do you see where we're headed if we don't think of something fast? No judgment. Now the Lefties are eating their own.

Do you see how dumb these kids are? Huh?

Huh?

And they're running our newspapers! Thank the journalism schools run by the radicals of the 60s.

*sigh*

Thanks for dropping by for the dumbass barometer of the day.

And thanks for the read.
