'Satirical' Obama Cover Stirs Controversy

[a.e.B.O.T.]

I find the cover to be absolutely fantastic. Everyone from right to left are finding it offensive, and it is. The depictions outside the cartoon of Barack as some extreme muslim or the anti-christ and Michelle as some black power enthusiast are also offensive. The cartoon was merely highlighting such. We don't find it offensive when the latter is discussed, McCain has hinted at such depictions of Barack and Michelle... but he finds the cartoon offensive. This is the gloriousness of politics, which is always to be highlighted by the Republican party who glorify the ridiculousness of politicians so well. (not saying that the men and women in the blue dont glorify it either...)


I must say however, the timing of this is poor. It would of been much more effective 3-4 months ago when this seemed to be a much bigger deal. There are still people out their who believe the muslim/black power schtick but it seems old news now.

Exactly - BOTH sides do it, so to claim that it's just the Republicans is, well, incorrect.

Oh, I know, but this incident glorifies the ridiculousness of one side... There are PLENTY of cases that glorify the ridiculousness of the left. The cartoon is just a little late, I don't think this issue is dead, but it was WAY more relevant a couple months ago.
