Um, the bit that I don’t get is that most of the themes reflected in the New Yorker cover were actually introduced into the mass public debate by Hillary’s primary campaign, i.e. other Democrats, not Republicans. It has been my impression that the Republicans have been careful not to push the “smears” for fear of being seen to be race-bating, taking the low road, etc., etc. Am I wrong?

Gramm was right.

Too bad we tossed the fighter for the uniter.

Geez.

You realize this is the same Phil Gramm who was the biggest cheerleader for deregulation of the banks. The same deregulation that allowed the risky predatory loan practices which resulted in massive foreclosures and now banks like IndyMac are going under. Your hatred of O has completely robbed you of the ability to see reason. Pathetic.

Too bad the fighter tossed herself out! Got it!!

He says he’s a uniter, but where’s the proof??
Posted 06:28 PM on 07/14/2008

She lost. Get over it.
And she lost according to the rules she accepted before the primaries began.
Posted 06:21 PM on 07/14/2008

Too bad we didn’t get the opportunity to see that “tuff” woman depicted sporting a very large fro and an AK 47, seemingly representative of erstwhile panthers … guess she wasn’t so “tuff” after all!!
Posted 06:15 PM on 07/14/2008

Too bad we have to put up endlessly with bitter whiners like you.
Posted 06:01 PM on 07/14/2008

Perhaps the fighter is still pulling the same dirty tricks, because the fighter cannot accept defeat.

Well I went and had a look. Here’s my personal favorite, posted by a doubtless charming lib’ral elitist by the name of ddlrid at 7:25 this very evening.

A satirically equivalent cover would be:

*McCain laying in bed kissing one of his captors while being handed a ‘get out of jail free card’

*Cindy McCain on the other side of the bedroom fighting W for all of the pills that fell on the floor

*McCain’s ‘illegitimate half-black’ daughter trying to bust out of the bedroom closet with her birth mom

A cover like THAT would be comparable.

It’s times like this that I yearn for the glory days of the National Lampoon!

They would be all over B.O. right about this time, and what they would post would make what the New Yorker did look pale by comparison.

How so? Do you think they expected/invited the blowback from the Obama campaign and nutrooters?

And the plot thickens,

and it royaly backfires for the

Vast Left Wing Conspiracy Kabal!

So,the lefty’s are saying they were trying
to stick it to the right,and attempt some
form of a verbal brushfire!

And Obama,”I have no comment”,well bloody duh,
no sh!t,its your side that attempted a failed
besmirchment of the Hope ande Change!

But all along,the Libs were hoping this was going
to fire up the Republicans,again,the left’s mission
failed!

“It is intended to be a comment on a comment”,
absolutely brilliant,like OBL picture in the picture,
outstanding attempt again by the left—-to smear
the right!

“Its attempting to invalidate the RIGHTS portrayal of
Obama”

Really,thats what the right thinks,that Obama is a
gun totin Muslim,or are they just beside themselves
that this went south for them this quickly!

And again,the Left are attempting a broad brush stroke
of painting Republicans as racists,and it ka-blewyed
in their faces!

It is awfully Liberal of these Leftys to get into a
Republican brain and try and force this conclusion!

The Liberal Left are the race baiters,not the right,
the right see Obama as unfit and un-qualified,and
has absolutely nothing to do with the colour of the
candidate!

But,rest a sure that was the only purpose of this
racist picture that the left wanted to imply,after
all its the Liberal Democrats who are trying to make
this election all about race!

And It backfired,just like Bill Clinton’s”Fairy Tale”
remark!——————————————-:)

The New Yorker has long slimed anyone who disagrees with the “progressive” views of the sophitcates who write for the New Yorker. Recall back in the late 1990s, the New Yorker ran a long, tiresome story on Israel’s then PM Bibi Netanyahu. The article attempted to psychoanalyze Bibi and made all sorts of amateurish psychology about Bibi and his father. The article portrayed Mr. Netanyahu as some sort of Dr. Strangelove who was willing and able to destroy the world in order to carry out his apocalyptic vision. Arafat came across as saintly in the article. The events of the last seven years proved Bibi’s predictions to be quite realistic. There was never an apology from the New Yorker. To the New Yorker, Bibi Netanyahu was everything that its editors detested. Bibi is tough, unapologetic and proud to defend Western values. And that makes him insane to the editors of the New Yorker.

Agreed. Satire with a point on it. SNL wanted better play for Hill and the New Yorker wants to frame criticism of the Obamas as wingnut hate speech.

Gotta love the law of unintended consequences tho.
