[2ndDivisionVet]

I loved that cover: It'll probably cost him a million votes!

[Astronaut]

How about “100% accurate” as a response?

[geo40xyz]

WOW!! love that 'New Yorker' Cover... says a lot that this white guy can't SAY:-()

Where's the "Lib rag puts truth on their cover" response?

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

[counterpunch]

The correct answer “accurate” is not available.
There’s not point in FReeping a poll that only offers a false dichotomy.

[prolifefirst]

I don’t see it as satire, but as a truthful caricature.

[firewalk]

Why isn't Accurate a choice?
Maybe the truth frightens them...

[Vigilanteman]

How about “A transparent attempt to generate a sympathetic backlash but only slightly exaggerated?” I doubt that the girly-man Obama would be willing to do his own beheading. Michelle, I’m not so sure.

[prolifefirst]

The fact that the liberal New Yorker would run it shows how sheltered their world of ideas is. It didn’t even occur to them that lots of people would not see any satire at all.

[Billthedrill]

Another vote for “entirely accurate.” BTT.

[whitedog57]

Accurate. According to Obama’s half-brother.

But satire on behalf on New Yorker.

How about “Many a truth is spoken in jest.”

[y6162]

I can’t wait to buy the poster and hang it next to my Ann Coulter, Ronald Reagan and W posters above my desk.

[Spunky]

"There’s not point in FReeping a poll that only offers a false dichotomy."

That's why I didn't vote.

1. Obama was born to a Muslim father that is a fact.
2. The Quran teaches that a child assumes the Religious affiliation of its father Obama was born a Muslim fact.
3. Obama converted to Christianity and attended TUCC fact.
4. Obama has blood relatives who are Muslim foreigners fact.
5. The Quran regards those that convert from the Muslim faith as Murtadd and feel it is their holy obligation to eradicate those infidels. fact.
6. If Obama becomes POTUS America will be less safe because the radical Islamists will feel it is their duty to inflict as much damage and death on the U.S. as possible hows that for a terrorist recruitment poster.

"How about “100% accurate” as a response?"

No room for a write-in, huh? I thought it was right on the money, too. Besides being funny.

[metmom]

My option as well and as usual the poll doesn’t offer it.

[wastedyears]

Where’s

“Accurate?”

[2ndDivisionVet]

When was Senator Barack Obama baptized? I have seen no mention of it. When he recited the Islamic call to prayer to that reporter, what was it, last year? he became a Muslim again, as that’s all that is required, IIRC.

[clintonh8r]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[bray]

It was stupid. The last thing you want is a personal attack.

[Liberty2007]

what no pics?

[Transformers]

Funny how it’s “cool” and “hip” to portray people like President Bush that way in the New Yorker, but people are freaking out about Obama? That’s how it’ll be with an Obama presidency, you’ll be savaged by the media if you criticize him.

[It was stupid. The last thing you want is a personal attack.]

Correct.

I wonder when they'll do the satirical cover showing President Bush and Dick Chaney in the Oval Office dressed up as Hitler and Mussolini with blood spewing out of oil derricks in the background in order to illustrate the over-the-top rhetoric of the Bush-bashers.

[Centurion2000]

The very definition of truth in advertising

[cynwoody]

says a lot that this white guy can't SAY:-()

Then you just need to find the right black guy to do the talking ...

[KosmicKitty]

Hysterically funny isn’t an option.

That’s my vote.

[boomop1]

Yep it is truth staring you in the face.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Amusing, but less satirical than the Rev. Wright and Jesse Jackson cartoons previously in circulation. They wanted Barack Hussein Obama as their candidate. They can deal with the cartoons and caricatures. There are less flattering photos.

[Morgana]

[freeangel]

Whatever it is, I thought it was darned funny.

[bluelagoon]

It just may cause the loss of the coveted prize.....we can only hope!!

[healy61]

Speaking truth to power.

Speaking truth to power.

Gotta love an overworked phrase now and then.

[Bailee]

That brother gonna get shot.

[Bookie1066]

“How about “100% accurate” as a response?”

That’s my vote.

[Godwin1]

His father and stepfather were Muslims.
He wants to extend the full constitutional rights due to American citizens to foreign Muslim terrorists captured on foreign soil.
He belonged to a “church” that showered awards on Louis Farrakhan.
He dressed in Muslim gear for a photo op., claiming his Muslim background was a multicultural asset that would please foreigners, his real constituency.
He publicly gave his wife the “fist bump.”
It's not satire and it's not offensive. It's accurate.

[Prole]

O'Reilly just announced his displeasure with The New Yorker over this.

Hey GASBAG, what's so erroneous about the cover?

Does Gasbag honestly think that Obama's wife isn't a hostile black racist?

Does The Gasbag honestly think that framed images of General Washington won't be replaced with images of Malcolm X and/or guys named Mohammed?

Gasbag's salacious yearning for Obama's interview is revolting.

[Lizavetta]

He wants to extend the full constitutional rights due to American citizens to foreign Muslim terrorists captured on foreign soil.

Where can I find proof of this?

[hunter112]

The fact that the liberal New Yorker would run it shows how sheltered their world of ideas is.

Remember that New Yorker cover that showed parts of Manhattan large, and the rest of the viewable world as small, insignificant, faraway places? That really is the way the people in the city view the rest of us.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

[Angry Write Mail]

Let's see, last week we had Obama getting hammered by the Left for swinging too far right.

Suddenly, Jesse Jackson says some rude comments about Obama "off-mic". That scored Obama some sympathy points.

This week, The New Yorker, hardly a conservative magazine, puts Mr & Mrs Obama on their cover dressed in Muslim garb, while a US flag burns in the fireplace.

Now, everybody, including Bill O'Reilly is rallying around poor Obama to lay a little lovin' on him . . . I do believe I smell a rat. Somebody's been playin' us like a fiddle.

[Clemenza]

The "fist bump" is a 'hood thing, NOT an Islamic thing.

Obama will nevertheless lose largely due to the white peasantry thinking he is an Islamic fundamentalist.

[rmlew]

D. An understatement. Where is the commie stuff?

[yorkie]

Potlatch, that is a perfect gif for today! (Thank you for the ‘chilling’ laugh)

[potlatch]

Thank you Yorkie!

[valkyry1]

LMAO!!

[devolve]

Fantastic artwork/ animation potlatch!

The "New Yorker" made her butt much smaller than Barack [REDACTED] Dunham-Obama's!

[MEG33]

Terrific, potlatch! LOL
