Oh the irony!
It’s a recruitment poster for the right-wing.

Update:
Obama’s “Race Card Card”
“We know what kind of campaign they are going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young. He’s inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And, did I mention he’s black.”
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.”
Bully for you all Billy boy. What of those of us who found the above Obama quote to be “tasteless and offensive”??? STHU and STHD!
The story behind the “cover” revels more than they bargained for I am sure.
Obama - Your Typical Politician - Flopping Aces
In the new issue of The New Yorker there is a long piece about what makes Obama tick. The author, Ryan Lizza, went looking to find out and found that the ticking is just Chicago politics as usual. No change, no new direction. Just plain ole’ politics.
Doug Ross posts images of President George Bush as a Nazi and satan, bla bla bla. You know the drill…
Uproar over ‘Barack as terrorist’ New Yorker cover
A montage of hilarious progressive satire, the responses to which included nary a complaint.
Now for some crazy fun! Irreverent college humor.

OTR Exclusive: While digging through the trash bins at The New Yorker, our Super Sleuths discovered several, never-before-seen mockups of the controversial Obama cover

The New Yorker Obama cover: OMFG, WTF? - Daily Kos
I got one: OMFG! I’m sure it’s some kind of joke right? There’s no other ulterior motive to publish cartoons like this right? They got the new McCain Manchurian Candidate cover lined up for next week right?
This is disgusting. Might be worth cancelling [sic] a subscription or two.
Taliban okey dokey, a satirical cover piece of the Obamessiah and his bitter half not so much. What an a**hole.
My reaction? (22+ / 0-)
ASSHOLES!

Many of you may recall this extremely controversial image posted (since removed) at Kos. Depicting Michelle Obama being tortured by Klan Members
Well, fast on the heels of Obama telling us we can’t use the anti-American statements of his wife as a campaign issue we get the kiddies over at the DailyKos doing their best to “help” Barack Obama by making an image of Michelle Obama hanging from a tree with robbed KKK figures torturing her with a branding iron and claiming that this is the “NEW IMPROVED” GOP strategy.

Since the beginning of the primaries, I have read the most insulting blogs about Hillary and about McCain from Obama supporters. For the first year of the campaign, Obama was never vetted by the press, and was given a virtual free ride. To this day, Obama bloggers still use a litany of disrespectful names for Senator John McCain. Obama, and his angry supporters can dish it out, but they sure can’t take it.

If this upsets them, they better pack it in now. this is nothing compared to what W has deen called and depicted as. It’s probably closer to the truth anyway.

Hey did the liberal media get one right? I guess even they can get it right at least once in a while.
I love this picture! LOL!
The only thing that’s missing is the Komrade hat on Michelle’s head, but I guess that would have messed up her ‘do!

I don’t get the racist claims… I’d be more upset if I were Obama about the fact he’s dressed up as a Jihadist - his wife is depicted as a crazed looney… and GW’s picture in the oval office has been replaced with Osama Bin Laden…
But hey - what do I know…

New Yorker more prophetic than satire it seems after googleing Raila Odinga and his campaign promise to have Kenya become Sharia compliant with all women covered whether Muslim or not. BHO supported his relatives campaign. To the Rev. You can’t remove what is not there. New Yorker beat you to them. This is too much fun. You just can’t make this sh*t up.

Robert
In my update I have linked to a post of Doug Ross’ that has several images of Bush in a not so flattering way. And what “b”?
Gina
Welcome.
Sho nuff! America has no need for a wussy whiny POTUS.
And that is what BHO is. To thin skinned (as are the Obamaniacs).
If he can’t play with the big dogs he best jump back on the porch.
No Compromise
I love it too. Or was I not clear enough on that? lol
Bryan
Me either.
Dubai Don
Welcome. In case you are interested.
