Obama: New Yorker Insulted Muslim Americans(more whining from his worshipfulness!)
Newsmax ^

Posted on 07/15/2008 9:10:09 PM PDT by maccaca

Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday that the New Yorker magazine's satirical cover depicting him and his wife as flag-burning, fist-bumping radicals doesn't bother him but that it was an insult to Muslim Americans.

"You know, there are wonderful Muslim Americans all across the country who are doing wonderful things," the presidential candidate told CNN's Larry King. "And for this to be used as sort of an insult, or to raise suspicions about me, I think is unfortunate. And it's not what America's all about."

Obama blamed himself for not being forceful enough in challenging some of the rumors about him, including that he is Muslim. Obama is Christian.

That’s not what America is about. It’s about insulting a standing President during a time of armed conflict and accusing him of unspeakable crimes.

Am I the only one who noticed the Michelle in the cartoon looked like Angela Davis?

He still doesn’t get it? The cartoon was a vaccine to innoculate the two of them against such accusations. He can’t even pretend this is an attack when everyone knows the political slant of Conde Nast and the New Yorker. Is this guy really dumber than a bag of hammers?

This is a major campaign miscalculation!!! Middle America does not care if Muslims are insulted.

I’ve been working too much to pay much attention. Was it intentional or just another little nudge/nudge? ;-)

"Obama is Christian."

Yeah, and I am Iron Man.

How many times must I hear these OUTRIGHT LIES about Obama's "Christianity?"

Obama is in bed with communists, abortionists, gangster rappers, muslims, homosexuals, criminals, fascists, black racists, anarchists and a litany of other registered democrats.

There is nothing Christian about these nasty people at all.

Obama, you and your associates (i.e. Rev Writght) have insulted most Americans.

I don’t care if Muslims are insulted. They insulted me by flying airplanes into the twin towers. Obama is too thin skinned to be president. Every president from George Washington has been made fun of by the press—Obama better get used to it—or will this be made illegal in Obama’s New and Improved America?

Obama is not handling this very well. Expect a bigger dip in the polls.

You are quite correct my FRiend.

These things do not happen by accident.

This is right out of the Rodham/Clinton play book, actually.

It gives Marxist Obama a chance to be indignantly "American" while under {pretend) verbal assault; and, a victim at the same time.

None of this is satire - - it's political instruction, and the New Yorker has obediently discharged its orders as well as Mister Jesse Jackson carried out his assignment.

This is 100% theatre, and even the conservative pundits have been fooled.

I think the likeness to Angela Davis was the cleverest part of the satire . A lot of people did not get that part . One writer called it a “Foxy Brown” hair style . I had to Google Foxy Brown . You have to be either old or a good student to know much about Angela .

"but that it was an insult to Muslim Americans."

I don't give a rat's @ss what the mohammedans think.

They should have all been rounded up and deported back to the third world after September 11, 2001.

He went on Larry King Live to talk about this? WTF...LKL is the home of Liza Minelli and every other show-biz has-been. Nothing like making yourself irrelevant, Nobama....
