TBH I think he has a point. I thought that it was bad, but not that bad.

Call a spade a spade and let satire fly. Its goal is to make people laugh. If you make too much of a deal of it then you could turn off a few voters who see you as too uptight.

Michelle Malkin puts it nicely when she headlines her post "Grow a pair, Obama" and says "So, you found this satirical New Yorker cover art “tasteless and offensive.” Welcome to public life. Guess what? In Washington, political cartoonists and caricaturists spare no one."

So Obama plays his race/cultural card against a friendly publication while many of his allies on the left dutifully follow his lead and condemn the piece because most of them fear that those of us who live out in flyover country "won't get" the satire.

Thin skinned Obama and his tone deaf, elitist allies; what a combination.
Are you serious?  Are you basing your opinion on the BS this guy said?  The same guy who talks about Obama and his friends from the left, lol?

Nope I am basing my opinion on the cover of the magazine and the reaction from the Obama camp over it? SERIOUSLY!!

Yes the difference being was that those were because of his decisions, not just because he is white. Where as in Obama's drawing was simply because he WAS Muslim at some point.

Massive difference in the two cases, one is based on actions which is fair enough, the other is based on factors that the person can do nothing about eg skin colour, religion etc, that is called prejudice.

Lowing you are viewing this through the prism of race again.

Barrack Obama is running for President at the moment, the cover of this magazine shows him depicted as Osama Bin Laden, with an American flag burning in the fire...this is the kind of semiotic concept stations like FOX have been trying to reinforce for months and it's the kind of thing that can lose you an election in America. I can understand completely why he is so annoyed and it doesn't have anything to with race.

Well, first Vilham, good point, however portraiting a Christian as the devil or Hitler??..... Not insulting on a personal level?

Second, the purpose of the cover, was to lampoon the far rights perception of Obama. It was not an attack on him but an attack on the absurdity of his image that the right is trying to portrait.

Now that his camp through a fit, you can rest assured this will continue, he better get used to it..And as for the purpose of the OP. I did call this months ago. Everything is racist and personal when dealing with Obama, his decisions, or his image.

I don't, not one bit.

I am interested in the social issues, the double standards, the hypocrisy and the absurdity that is spouted in the name of races.

hes the one that originally dropped the race card, if im not mistaken. his superfluous use of it so early in the game only demonstrates what sort of campaign is to come.


im done voting anyway.

sorry ya think so, ut you will never find in ANY of my posts where I spout off about how superior or inferior a race is. I target individuals of any race depending on the issue.

If acctions that I do not like happens to target 99% of a particular race, then so be it. It is still the actions that I am talking about and NOT the race.

I hate saggers, I am sorry ,but that does not translate into I hate black people. No matter much you want it to for arguments sake.

Absolutely true. It is gunna be a long race filled 4 years if he is elected.

Also take note that I said this here and now.

4 years later when history judges Obama's administration, if it is judged poorly, it will be because America was not ready for a black president, and the white congress did everything it could to make him fail.

if he DOESNT win, it will be because of the "racism" that is obviously so prevalent in america.

he knows how to play that card though...ill give him that.

no I was trying to use an example as to how I judge actions and not race. I used the sagging thing as an example that just because I hate that shit, does not mean that I hate black people....Gunslinger is being a bit difficult in giving me that point.
