Rolling Stone continues Obama worship with second cover

Constitution Club ^ | July 10, 2008

Barack Obama graces the cover of Rolling Stone magazine for the second time in the campaign. After the first cover he got, I didn’t think it was possible to give him a more worshipful picture, but they have done so. In the first cover, they create the look of a mythical figure, no doubt the hero of their dreams. In the later cover, it’s as if Obama is too divine to even have words placed around him. Like it would be profane to sully a page containing his visage with normal language. Orthodox Jews won’t write the name “God,” believing it to be too sacred, instead writing “G-d.” How long will it be before the Rolling Stone’s of the world begin to write about the breathtaking virtues of Bar-ck Ob-ma?

My God, if Obama wins the election , then election night will be like New Years Eve, as the celebrations go all night in Hollywood and Las Vegas and anywhere liberal celebrity culture is important. The entire entertainment and celebrity culture world is solidly behind this guy. They all have a stake in his election. They are all pulling for him. Stay tuned.

Well, we already cannot speak his middle name...

[the invisib1e hand]

when you consider just how weird the times we live in are, he’s sort of the perfect candidate.

[mylife]

Looks heavily airbrushed. Especially the Flag lapel pin

[FlyVet]

Are his eyes closed, or is he looking down at....something? In any case he’s not looking the viewer in the eye. It strikes me as a a bizarre shot for a Presidential candidate.

[Boagenes]

This is getting beyond absurd...the MSM is so in the tank for this guy it’s just creepy.

[JennysCool]

This one worked real good, too ...

[mylife]

Thats fine by me. He simply cant live up to their expectations. He has FAIL written all over him.

[mylife]

Dont forget the famous Gore “package” cover! L0L

[Montaignes Cat]

He’s wearing a flag pin on one lapel, and a universal bar code pin on the other lapel.

[mylife]

Obama or Die!

[CatherinePPP]

That’s worshipful? He looks completely goofy in that picture.

[Montaignes Cat]

His eyes are cast downward because he is a presumptive Saint.

[mylife]

And the barecode reads.....”poser”

[latina4dubya]

Dont forget the famous Gore “package” cover! L0L

i thought for sure that one would be posted... glad it's not... it was gross... more gross than the cover with Clinton and his big, long, hanging tie! which magazine was that?

[mylife]

Whimsically Doofy

[A message]

And they are all a bunch of nitwits.

I am going to laugh my head off on election night when this guy goes down in flames like George McGovern in 1972. Does anyone here personally know ANYONE that's voting for this guy?! Sure, we're conservatives, but not all our coworkers, friends, relatives, Church/Synagogue co-religionists, etc. are conservatives...

[mylife]

I dont recall. There are so many stupid PR stunts

[mylife]

I know black conservatives who will.
“It’s a black thing I don’t understand”

[Uncle George]

SATAN and SOROS can suck-um in like lambs to the slaughter. This Commie, raciest, silver tongued Chicago crook makes P.T. Barnum a prophet,: “A Liberal Sucker Born Every Minute”.

[maine-iac7]

he’s not looking the viewer in the eye. It strikes me as a a bizarre shot for a Presidential candidate.

Well, read the words behind his head = Roll One

[Deek]

Does that say “Roll one”??

[mylife]

Good eye!

[exit82]

What do they say when you tell them that he’s bi-racial, not black?

[alecqss]

Goofy, but at least better than Obama’s usual constipated poise of unrecognized saint.

[plain talk]

Does anyone here personally know ANYONE that's voting for this guy?!

Some are insulated from the outside world in their own little cacoon and circle of conservatives. No matter who the candidate is dems will vote lock-step in large numbers including dead voters. Gore and Kerry almost won. Its a different world than 1972. The key are independents and certain swing states like Ohio, Florida, etc. I think McCain will do well with independents. The rest of the country is pretty much a red or blue lock.

[mylife]

better than Obama’s usual constipated poise of unrecognized saint.

Aint that the truth?!!

[mylife]

I get the stink eye and the could shoulder

[mylife]

I can tell you based on my experience Ohio will be McCains

[Miss Didi]

As I posted on the NJ Polls thread...Over the Fourth weekend, I asked my NY/FL residing retired parents what they were hearing among friends on the golf course, at the Elks, at dinners, at poker, etc. I said—soooooo, are people talking about Obama? They replied—are you kidding??? Talking about not voting for him!

[richace]

The Stone is pretty thin these days, college students have their own rags (details, HMN) no music scene of import to cover, no records to flack for. I bought a guitar and got six months free.

[FlyVet]

Oh I get it. We had this thread the other day.

"On the Cover of the Rolling Stone," "Too Rolling Stoned," "I Got Stoned And I Missed It," ......

Okay.

Just what we need, another Rock and Roll President. Haw, Haw, Haw.....

[JennysCool]

He’s wearing a flag pin on one lapel, and a universal bar code pin on the other lapel.

Ha! Very good!

[mylife]

RS has always been a poser rag

Pimping Billy Joel and Elton John and the like

[mylife]

I bet you read “Guitar Player”

[mylife]

Remember when Kerry broke out the guitar? L0L

[Trajan88]

That celebration will be short lived... then the reality will sink in that the U.S.A. has a big bag of nothing for president.

Reality will strike the bleeding hearts waaay before the 100 day honeymoon is over.

[airborne]

LOL! Look at those feakish ears!

[mouse1]

Does anyone know anyone voting for him.

I’m sure there are lots of dumicrats who will vote early and often. I’ve noticed alot of activists at our local mall trying to get voters registered. And then when I’m on this site and read about those who are staying home or will write in their vote, well, that just doesnt help either.
Kinda scares the hell out of me.

[mylife]

Hey!! Dont diss the ears!

He is sensitive

[exit82]

Ain’t diversity grand?! /s

That’s a normal reaction when they have no answer. But it will stick in their craw for awhile.

[rockrr]

In my work I come into contact with a pretty diverse array of people, including many union craftsmen. I was listening in on a bull-session of a bunch of electricians recently and amused by their distress.

A “good dhimmicrat” simply has to vote party line, but these guys would rather pass a baseball-sized gallstone than vote for Obeyme.

They sneered at the notion of voting for McCain (purely for leftist-partisan reasons) but I didn’t hear a single one that admitted, reluctantly or otherwise, that he was gonna pull the lever for BO...

[politicket]

He looks like a deformed garden gnome...

[coconutt2000]

Dude... he looks like Dumbo...

[mylife]

Hey!! Dont diss the ears!

He is sensitive

[FlyVet]

I remember when he broke out the bike. Being a cyclist myself, it was embarrassing. Dork! Although I wouldn't mind having his very expensive Italian ride. :P

I could put it to better use than a photo op.

[airborne]

He probably hears better than my dog!
