Mika Brzezinski: New Yorker Obama Cartoon 'Dangerous'

[eqsmooth]

Joe is a fool and Mika's father is embarrassed for her. She can't explain herself, ever!

[tonylee1973]

lol mika free speech is dangerous but needed

[watkinscopicat]

inside mika's head: "how dare they attack my daddy's puppet!"

Obama, the "unattackable" perfect stooge puppet.

[chyna98]

President Obama!

[Braineater611]

Obama is imploding! That Mika Brezinski bitch (on the Morning Joe show at MSNBC)is about to piss in her panties. Watch her tomorrow man. She can`t sit still.

[indplsblk]

i want to sex Mika so bad

[schmiggen]

It's not dangerous by being offensive; it's dangerous because there are myriad dolts out there who will (and do) take anything at face value.

[0misspanda0]

It is very dangerous, and I think that the ignorance of people is what is clogging their ears. If you would think or listen for a moment you would understand that this cartoon is not just making fun of Obama but of a whole culture of people that has already been prejudiced again. Whether that is fair or not, I can not be the judge becuase individuals are intitled to their own opinion and don't always fit the mold that they are born into. I think that if we let our selfs >>continued>>

[0misspanda0]

>>>>>look at this in an intellectual and diplomatic way we would realize that this was cruel, not just to Obama by defamation of character, but to all Islamic's aswell. I myself am not Islamic, however we can't let our self's as a Nation be racist at this point after all we've been thru together already. It also could be misconstrued by Arabians and give the false impression of our Nation and its people and what is going on here.

[Lincl421]

Having watched Mika for a while (I can no longer stand her), I'm sure she would have found this funny if it were something about Hillary Clinton or John McCain. I for one, am glad the New Yorker had the balls to do this.

[abaxteria]

Mika must lead a very sheltered life to find a cartoon dangerous. We can't have all this crazy free speech, lest we scare the delicate flower.

[SwissCross]

It's far too accurate for a characature.

[k3304]

that cartoon was drawn by no good liberal NY jews from that magazine

We must feel rage towards those vicious and racist zionists. Damn those NY jews !!

[renumeratedfrog]

Are you being New Yorkish?

[k3304]

Obama has already worn traditional muslim garb in Kenya, his father's homeland

[archknight20]

The cartoon is meant to mock the people who make racists attacks on Obama. It is meant to be supportive of him against these people. I think it is more dangerous that we would let our ignorant knee-jerk reactions dominate so much that we would repress freedom of speech and press. This was a mistake on Obama's part; his reaction shows that he is looking to pick fights about race. Oh, and motaleex1, Islam is submission; perhaps you should learn some Arabic; it helps when reading the Qur'an.

[Hkhan23]

fuck scarborough that fuckin republican racist piece of shit, no shit he finds it funny becuase its roasting OBAMA

[roundedthought]

This cartoon would have been perfectly fine and funny if we were living in a country free of racism, nationalism and fear of difference.

This was fine if our media was not run by big corporations with political alliances whose main objectives are to have us think and do the way they want. This was ok in a place where controversy would shrink the source and not make it bigger, richer and more ruthless.

Lets though give award to new yorker for jumping head first into pile of sh*t.

[motaleex1]

It is very offensive, tasteless and has no place in American peoples' dignity and unity. It is really shame and unfortunate seeing some American people are thumping up for this cartoon while the Nation's flag is on fire. At this point I notice you don't know the honor of flag. But as Muslim American I'm proud of America and I got offended seeing the Nation's flag on the fire. But you judge me because of religion and you told me that I am not American Islam is peace Thank you & God bless America

"The New Yorker"...A Sad little Magazine...Enuff Said!

[RICHARDDAVISMCLEOD]

America is known for free speech and free imagery. Look what happened in Holland to Theo Van Gogh for making a movie about the plight of woman in Islamic countries. He was killed. If the cover is offensive to anyone, it must resonate some aspect of truth that we are afraid to face ourselves. As Rev. Wright said at Obama's church, "The chickens have come home to roost!"

[danthevinylman]

We Like It !!The cover works for us !No Obama or Micheal

[macadomus]

get off our high chair and stop looking down at people. one side will be disappointed and the other will use it as a confirming thought. and these people will only look at the cover. and if america wont get it than why would they boardcast it across station that highbrows dont watch come on.

[macadomus]

what makes it worst is that if this was a elite magazine for people who would get it why than report across station to people who will have a different views and wouldnt. and then called these people with no sense of humor. it like showing horse back riding in between nascar and a football game. it doesnt not fit it only piss off and anger people. the media played this up perfectly lets see if the next cover has this much coverage i bet you not.

[macadomus]

this is sad the elites find it funny but the everyone see it as a i told you so or very sad.

[eelzen]

I'd like to see old man McCain doing the fist bump with war criminal Bush on the next New Yorker cover.

[joshmcbeath]

Barack is a variant on the Hebrew name baruch. The scribe of the Prophet Jeremiah of th Christian and Jewish Old testament.

If your name was Adolf Carter and you were up against the idiot president known as George W Bush (no offence to his dad is was clearly more intelligent), he would have my vote.

Assunto's name assessment is moronic.

Assunto, btw, means "assumption". Irony?!!

[vincekooyman]

It is not irony.

[assunto1]

burakc huessein  obama

saddam hussein ---osama bin laden

obama hussein....

the next presind of usa ???that is funny.

[samthom75]

Stupid INFIDEL! Islamic law says if your father is a Muslim the child will be a Muslim, Obama Sr. is Muslim! One cannot change religion from a Muslim, the penalty is death. Brother Hussein Obama is MUSLIM!!!!

President Obama please release our fellow Muslim Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who is held by the American infidels in a US jail in Cuba. 911 happened a long time ago, those infidels should get over it! May Allah be with you brother Obama.

[StellarMortem]

The New Yorker is an ultra liberal magazine that had Hillary on a broom like a witch, McCain as a senile and has bashed Bush for years with caricatures -- Fuck Nobama!

You assholes think he's above criticism and satire like all other politicians!

[Srhandel]

The "New Yorker" is a magazine for latte drinking highbrows who understand this kind of irony, the rest of America will not get what The New Yorker is trying to do. How many people actually read the New Yorker??? This picture is only going to hurt Obama's image, the average person who sees this picture is going to think that the New Yorker is making a statement that Obama is a Muslim, his wife is a radical and they both hate their country and love Osama. They are not going to bother reading it.

[BrokenMikrofone]

What a stupid whore.

[Robowaver]

starcatcher888

you are either anti muslim and I can see many reasons why (violent history/koran etc..) or you are an extremist pentecostal (which i also understand as I became a christian in a pente church).

Or you just hate everyone and you live in Bristol UK. Or you simply love conflict, street fights, internet harrassment etc.. Either way, pissing everyone off doesn't make you more friends nor does it draw others to learn your faith. If you have no faith well. that explains your anger.

[yousernayme]

guilty by name association.

My name is Martin.....and I'm white..but MARTIN luther king isn't white.

paint everyone with the same brush do ya fella?

Obama's father abandoned wife and child which makes him the product of a broken BLACK family.

You are clearly from some southern state. Maybe a member of some secret bedsheet wearing organization.

I voted for Bush last time. You just bumped me over to the other side rascist prick.

[Robowaver]

you got to get a hobby. reading your posts reminds me why i shouldn't visit youtube. life is too short to be that pissed off and arrogant. Obama may be attacked for being a Muslim but not for being a Christian and attending THAT baptist church. Or he may be attacked for attending THAT Baptist church but not for being a Muslim. I wish for every post you could see the authors address, phone numbers and place of work. Perhaps then, we might start to see some intelligent less veiled comments.

[cantgt1]

What is your problem, do you hate the truth?

[yousernayme]

Perhaps Obama is a Secret Agent Muslim who attends a Christian church for political gain.

Anyone who spends an hour at church every week, has children at VBS and says prayers every night knows you can't flip flop faiths.

"Do you hate the truth?" "Nature of Islam"?

Here we got McCain wanting to prolong a war and have our boys die in Iraq and Afghanistan to protect our country when anyone and I mean ANYONE IF THEY WANTED could cross the Mexican border and wreak havoc in LA/NY in a few days.

[cantgt1]

Great!! The muslim terrorists are finally exposed. But there are still many idiots that will vote for this enemy of the USA.

[jtartsy]

LoL...If you explain to me then I'd be able see where your coming from. I won't really recieve what your saying to a point where I'm ready for conversion but I'll try to keep an open mind

[jtartsy]

Well I didn't get my facts from Fox 5 news..I can tell you that much for sure. You see the computer can be used for purposes out side of youtube and porn..lol. you can also use it to find information like facts, and history from all sorts of reliable and credible sources. Thats where I looked to find the facts that I've just relayed to you. The truth is out their. stop absorbing all of Fox 5's propaganda like a sponge and regurgitating it on blogs and youtube.

[rw5791]

muslim terrorists don't allow women to carry weapons.They can strap on an explosive suicide belt but an ak-47?never.

[Srhandel]

They're not portraying Michelle as a terrorist, they're portraying her as a Black Panther Radical who hooked up with her Muslim husband (and they both hate America and love Osama).

[jtartsy]

Are you quoting the Koran...?? Sorry I don't recognize the Koran the same way I reference the Bible because I am christian. But even so this doesn't apply to Barack Obama Jr, Mabe his father...lol. He can deny the Muslim Islamic faith without the fear of being seized and slain simply because the man never was a Muslim. lol and he wasn't enrolled as a Muslim in Indonesia. lol & if he was how much of a devout Muslim or christian for that matter could you be in elementary school. Seriously!!!

[artwoodward]

Check out this video (I sent it by a message rather than spread it around further here). Look I don't believe this stuff about McCain either. But its out there. There are several others too. But my only point is that if its unfair to put up a cartoon about these attempts to smear McCain, then I think its unfair to do this to Obama.

[jtartsy]

As for the question directed at me. From what I read that some believe that Muhammad was a prophet. Not sure, haven't really studied the Muslim faith. To be honest If he was a prophet like so many others then I guess my problem would be why praise this mear MAN as we Christians praise the son of God. cuz thats all he was. he was a man, a leader, a "prophet", but still a man. This topic is a little too controversial for youtube, so if my view offends people of Muslim faith then I do appologize

[jtartsy]

Gotta question for you...Do you know what Madrassah means???..Probrbly not so I'll fill in the blanks Madrasah: is the Arabic word for any type of school, secular or religious (of ANY RELIGION). guess that means that we have some madrassahs in the united states. Catholic private schools are maddrassahs, bet you didn't know that. Technically my public school was and is a madrassa. Stop throughing the word around as if you know the meaning. Madrassah simply means school

[jtartsy]

Yeah thought as much...Okay My turn to enlighten and this time with the FACTS.

Obama's father was Muslim (key word *was*) who converted to atheism. Just to add his father did not raise him and was not present in his son's life. Obama did go to a school in Jakarta, Indonesia but his school did not impose its faith on its students. He had Christian, Buddhist,as well as Muslim classmates,: similar to students of our public schools.

[doctorturbo]

this is just proof that the goverment

is scared

they'er calling in all the favors from anyone they can.

includeing the media.

Drilling off shore

well timed Columbian rescues while Mc Cain is in town

WHAT'S NEXT ?

[jtartsy]

WHAT?????...I'm going to humor you because I'm actually curious what you'll come up with so my answer to your question is I don't know what Islam says about being a Muslim. But I would so love to be enlightened, so tell me what does Islam say about being Muslim and how does does a faith never practiced by By Barack Obama Jr. get attached to him. I'm all ears.....or eyes in this case.

[artwoodward]

Why doesn't the New Yorker make a cartoon with the crap that's "out there" about McCain. There are vets on YouTube swearing he was not tortured because he collaborated with the enemy. And there is his "spirit guide" who claims that Christianity is destined to destroy Islam or whatever. So show McCain doing something funny with that guy while playing ball with the "gooks" as he calls them in public. They won't do that because its not fair to McCain. Well its not fair to Obama either.

[Robowaver]

Political satire doesn't satirize the victim. Political satire caricatures the person or group acting like a fool. Look at the New Yorker's previous satirical political covers. They show the fool acting like one, not the idiot's victims. True political satire would have focused on the perpetrators of these lies, not on Obama and his wife who are the victims. McCain may have stated he finds it offensive, yet he thought singing "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" was funny. He'll be happy bout it.

[WheresPoochie]

Are the people at MSNBC always this annoying? >_>

[jtartsy]

huh..Obama was never a Muslim. Thier are no and I mean no facts that depict other wise

[PervisJohnson]

Why didn't they just show Obama eating a watermelon, tap-dancing and playing the banjo? Someone at the New Yorker is either racist, or a total fool with no common sense.

[danthevinylman]

I,d like to have been there when Michelle,saw this Freedom of speech!! I'm sure she was proud of her country for the 'second time" in her adult life time

[danthevinylman]

Could this be Hell Boy 111?
