New Yorker: Too Sophisticated for its Audience


This was done by liberals, at the expense of liberals, for the entertainment of liberals. Imagine the firestorm of outrage if a conservative publication had engaged in such lampooning!

It was supposed to poke fun at the those right wing racists by parodying their unenlightened, caveman beliefs. Apparently, the irony was lost on the target audience. The Obama campaign was less than amused and his supporters in the press are in a tizzy.


Perhaps this hit a little too close to home? Think about it. If he and Michelle had been portrayed as say, John and Teresa Kerry, do you think the uproar would be as loud?

Bush and Cheney must be behind this somehow, probably Halliburton, too.

At least the New Yorker didn't threaten to cut his giblets out.

That cartoon totally reflects Mr. Obama. A wife that all of the suddent felt "American for the first time" after her husband clinched so many states before Rev. Wrights tapes came out. Second Mr. Obama, a candidate who hasn't gone to Iraq to support the men and women fighting the war. What leadership role this portrait for someone who wants to become the next CIC of the U.S. of America. I don't find it offensive at all. This is how 50% of Americas view Mr. Obama and thats the beauty of this country, freedom of speech, some positive some negative but always Freedom.
