Obama Campaign Calls New Yorker Magazine Cover “Tasteless and Offensive”
Fox News ^ | July 13th, 2008 7:25 PM Eastern | Bonney Kapp

Barack Obama had no response to the over of the July 21st issue of The New Yorker Magazine, seen below, except to shrug incredulously and tell reporters, “I have no response to that.”

The cartoon features Barack and Michelle Obama celebrating with a fist bump in the Oval Office in front of a portrait of Osama bin Laden and an American flag burning in the fireplace. Mrs. Obama is portrayed as a militant radical, while Obama appears foreign. The image reflects, some might say mocks, the rumors that have plagued the couple over the last 18 months.

“never purchased a copy of this rag”

Actually, it is really a pretty good magazine. Lots of funny cartoons and highly literate articles. It doesn’t read like the NYT. It may be liberal, but is well written and some of the articles are compelling.

Why does Barack Hussein Obama attempt to hide his muslim background?

1. He is a genuaine convert from islam to Christianity. muslims consider such converts “aposatates” and sanction murdering them.

2. He is a muslim fifth columnist practicing taqqia.

Which one is correct? I vote for number 2!!!!

This is one time I recommend reading the comments on the New Yorker cover at the Daily Kos. Go to: http://dailykos.com/story/2008/7/13/175041/125/158/551074

There’s a lot of truth and suspicion revealed in that cover.

The only surprise - is that a liberal rag had the balls or stupidity to publish such a cover.
