Jeeeeeezus christ. I remember when I was in a play in college during the 2004 election, and the woman playing my wife had backed against a wall during rehearsal and sunk to the floor with her head in her hands. Why? She was so terrified that Bush might win again.
…if that was the reaction for Kerry, how would they feel if their savior failed? I’m fearing riots.
Seriously? This isn’t a parody? Or maybe a self-parody?
Vizzini on March 12, 2008 at 12:54 PM
No, no. I think you meant to say:
“He is high!”
My collie says:
Hmmm. That’s not the same thing as “He is Risen!”, is it?

No kidding. You’re endorsing him? Almost wasn’t sure about that.

Take a gander at the 64 photos of “Obama from childhood to the national stage” linked under the cover shot. My favorite is #44.

Somebody for Christmas got me a subscription of Rolling Stone as a gift. I don’t know who it was I just started getting it in the mail. I take it out of my mailbox and deposit it in the trash. The sorriest excuse for a magazine out there.
saltydogg14 on March 12, 2008 at 1:13 PM
this is the same mag that announced Bush the “Worst President EVER” followed by calling the past Repub. congress the “WORST EVER”…as in ever ever?

Rolling Stone has been slouching towards Gomorrah for more than a decade. Clueless music commentary fighting for space with more & more clueless party-hack Dem propaganda content.

Even on their wedding day, Michelle Obama appeared to be overflowing with rage, hatred and contempt. I’m no expert, but I think she needs to get professional help and probably ought to be on some kind of heavy medication.
A New Hope huh? Are they implying that that his father is the dark lord? Do they really mean that he can defeat the dark forces that his father unleashed?
Or will he be turned and join his father to rule the galaxy as father and son?

I’m going to shake my head, woefully. For all the good it’ll do.

Would the universe explode in an orgy or delight if Obama was ever seen using the Iphone?
I very much suspect he will be the next president. I’ve talked to the young and old about him and they get tears in their eyes just thinking about the wonderful future he will bring. Every single one of them talks as if he is truly a messiah and we are on the brink of a new age of enlightenment and prosperity. I would not doubt that there may be riots and maybe even a revolution if he is not elected. I also fear for this country when he is found to be a false god.

So…this Fairness Doctrine…does this mean that rag will do the same sort of thing for the other 2 remaining candidates?
Bob's Kid on March 12, 2008 at 1:41 PM
After sullying myself and suffering through 7 pages of liberal propaganda presented as journalism in the Rolling Bone articles, nothing of substance can be found, just like Obama, slick but empty. Their endorsement is little more than rehashed worn-out liberal myths about economic disparity, a lost war and the typical attack on conservative policies. The bottom-line seems to be the need for Americas to atone for the “original sin” of racial prejudice by voting for the Messiah, for he can heal with HOPE and CHANGE only!

So is #33. Obama and Hillary are saying something to each other.
I don’t know if you meant “dying” as a pun, but that picture eerily reminds me of picture taken immediately following the MLK Jr. assassination. Who took that (1968) picture, anyway? Doesn’t it seem odd that someone was ready to take a picture almost immediately after the gunshot?

Would someone please ask Obama why he voted against the confirmation of Roberts and Alito? I know the real answer, but I’d like to see how the “messiah” answers that question.
Yeah that’s my favorite because it’s the most stupid. Why is it even included with the other pics? Is it such a great thing that he’s using honey in his tea with some white guy watching?
Brat on March 12, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Ok, I get it then. I thought it was a little odd as well. Although, #44 would be a great shot for the tabloid mags that always have that “See, They’re Just Like Us” segment where they have pictures of celebs grocery shopping or picking up their dry cleaning.
…i’m ashamed I even know that much about tabloid mags. bad girl! guilty pleasures BAD!
That Leftism is a religion is obvious. That its followers are reactionaries, not “progressive” in any meaningful sense of the term, is something that needs to be made more clear.
