Are Americans really going to want to vote for someone who holds himself to be above criticism and mockery? It appears the New Yorker Magazine backed Hillary in the primary....
If you do not drop out I shall taunt you a second time...
Reminds me of another group who reacted to a cartoon.
Just can’t seem to remember which group that was rioting all across europe.
We know W is not a homosexual cowboy. Not even funny. No response or publicity.
The words and pictures hurt B. Hussein Obama for two reasons:
1. They are true
2. They expose his lies
Don't worry about it. Here, have a ham sandwich.
Could they be Obama’s co-religionists??
What was it that Phil Gramm said about whiners?
Everything goes double for the Obamas, the Marxist and the docile Muslim suicide bomber being sent out into the marketplace.
Herself, still the Cold and Joyless, stands a chance of overturning this nomination process even yet.
George Soros is just hedging his bets.
O’Bambi is standing in the headlights, while the driver of the vehicle stands behind the opened door, and sights in with the deer rifle.
What an excellent trophy to hang on the wall of that secret club in Manhattan.
That is because the Bush administration respects the God-given right of free speech, even if it speech that is offensive or critical to the administration. Obama, on the other hand, does not respect free speech. His campaign's criticism of the cover of the New Yorker, as well as his followers' attacking other media outlets who criticize the Messiah himself, is proof positive that as President, Obama will actively prohibit any speech that he finds objectionable.
FR better get a hosting provider in another country!
Republicans didn’t get particularly upset over things like the Cheny/Bush cover because they were so obviosly false. The Obama cover, however, is unintentionaly true; thus the Obama people have to do everything they can to attack it.
Good catch.
Jeff,
Because you know how to post pictures on FR, there is an image of a rejected New Yorker front cover that’s posted on PowerLine that would look good on FR. Thanks.

An Idea: Let’s make this thread a bulletin board for the most offensive cartoons and covers against Republicans we have ever seen. Certainly the repulsive ones targeting Condi Rice hld special significance.
Link, or URL?
mcCain also criticized the Omama cover as offensive.
does anyone in government support free speech?
Or is it just the people?
They’re firmly in Obama’s camp. The New Yorker was mocking conservative criticism of the Obamas. Obama’s political consultants believe the American public is stupid.
How about the cover of the “Nation” that showed Clarence Thomas as a lawn jockey.
