I wonder how many Bush-Nazi photos were removed from this site?

778 items with the title "Bush Hitler".

After crack that the Son of OBama made about the post office they should issue stamps with the Joker Face as you have presented. No doubt would be a big seller.

It is good to find out now exactly who the communists in this country are.

If the friends and followers of Mohammad, Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin would not allowed unflattering pictures of their DEAR LEADER to be published why shouldn't the friends and followers of the Son of OBama do the same for their DEAR LEADER.
Beauty is as beauty does.

"I’m not so sure about that. Isn’t parody exempted?"

Yes, but Time isn't the subject of the parody. Lord zero is. Time is being used and portrayed w/o any element of parody applied to them. They are being portrayed as a common news org.

Their failure to uniformly enforce the matter with regard to politics implies they are a political organization, not the "press" org they're claiming to be. Just more evidence that they are first and foremost, a propaganda operation.

Zazzle is where I got my little stickers.....1 1/2 inchers - suitable for even currency if desired.

Yep... I just placed an order with Zazzle.com as well. ;-)

Time Magazine has had Obama on the cover SEVEN TIMES since the election (not counting Michelle).

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2009/07/31/paging-dr-obama-makes-it-seven-time-mag-covers-election-obama

[The frequent cover appearances led even Jon Stewart, a Bush-hater who was thrilled by Obama’s election, to quip Thursday night on his Comedy Central show: “Time magazine is like O magazine, like Obama has to be on the cover — it is like Oprah magazine. I think he’s been on like thirty times this year.”]

The point is were the same caracitures of Gw Bush held to the same standards.

While I understand your frustration, again, using the example of FR, there are many more anti-Clinton and anti-Obama caricatures here than the reverse. Our job is to win hearts and minds to our cause, not to expect a "Fairness Doctrine" from privately-owned businesses whose point of view is not necessarily supposed to be neutral.

TV news should be neutral or at least balanced, because the airwaves are publicly owned. But image publications such as newspapers, magazines and web sites are usually privately owned. Many small newspapers make no secret of their leanings, calling themselves the "Wazoo County Republican" or the "Yahoo City Times-Democrat", etc.
