[WunderDoob]

LOL, I wish I could get The New Yorker here. Brilliant media outlet

[joeasmythe]

pretty good likeness, I'd say.

[ragnar336]

this is proof that humans today are too stupid for satire

[TonyaTko]

Nice Video!

I did one too about this whole debacle. I will send it to you. Tell me what you think.

Barack Obama is our last hope, & it's quite sad to know that Mindless American's would rather see this country fail than to vote an African American into office. It's wrong that ignorant Americans criticize everything that Obama has to say & yet over look so many mistakes Mccain has made in almost all of his interviews. It's like some people are trying to find any reason not to vote for Obama. They come up with all this false propaganda & call it truth...Americans really need to wake up!!!

[k3304]

sclovrgrl, that cartoon isnt far from the truth. Obama wore muslim clothes on a visit to Kenya, his middle name is Hussein, his step-father was a radical islamist,he was schooled in a madrassa, etc

[k3304]

sclovrgrl, guess who drew this cartoon ? Believe it or not, it wasnt republicans ! It was evil zionists trying to make a point which backfired. Hell is waiting for those evil liberal zionists

[0bamasuckscock]

yeah, how outrageous... as if doesn't reflect his true beliefs.

[5607harold]

"deficiency"

[5607harold]

@CBERASTUS: And by the way, paradox here anyone: a black man or woman with an education and a good job is an affirmative action baby and a token hire. A black man with no job and no education is a example of innate black defiency. And a black man with a crappy job and remedial education is...now, THAT'S what a black man 'spose to be.

Sad how many people like you actually feel this way.

[CBERASTUS]

Did my satirical words offend you my sensitive liberal friend?

[CBERASTUS]

The New Yorker should know that it should not satirize African Americans. In this age of affirmative action legislation, we need to avoid hurting the sensitivities of blacks...because they are so weak and oppressed. As a matter of fact, it is our duty to give Obama, and all of the black community, free tuition, a subsidized family, and most importantly...AN UNDESERVED JOB!!!

[5607harold]

CBERASTUS:

"Free tuition, a subsidized family and most importantly, an undeserved job?" Sounds like the storied trajectory of Ivy League WASP trustafarians like George Bush more than any other group, if you ask me.

I have no control over what content the New Yorker's editors decide to publish. Neither do you. I, just like you, can only react as our conscience dictates when such content is set before the public. The editors of the New Yorker will publish whatever they wish despite concerns over accuracy,fairness, good taste, and the offended sensibilities of the readers. Whatever perceived "shit" there might be on either candidate, it will surface eventually, whether we like it or not. Grow up - accept it.

[Grandus11]

The Obama Organization feels that all you middle class folks in the heartland of this great country are MORONS.

The Obama Organization feels that you can not look at a cartoon and see it as a joke, it was a satire by the way.

The sad part is they feel you can't decide what is and what is not a joke on your own.

You do not have the right to determine it a joke or satire if the man and woman are black.

[MarleneNL]

Is is called satire people. Geez lighten up.

Freedom of speech. I thought it was funny but I always like cartoons and satire.

people make such a big deal out of this.

[sporky3333]

Screw America!

[Grandus11]

This is not called for

[Grandus11]

Sporky the comment was not called for, we may hate one another during and election but we are still one country one family and in the end its not wise to mess with the us in U.S.

[kovacevich562]

what a thoughtful, intelligent thing to say.

[ronj1590]

anyone who condones this garbage is a racist bastard and represents what "America" is truly about... Slavery, Racism, and holding down any other race that isn't white. Think about it you cant name one point in US history when this country wasn't down right racist. THE SOONER WE ALL REALIZE THAT THE SOONER WE CAN MOVE FORWARD A A COUNTRY...

[Wizard364]

When will you people finally get it that the media set this whole thing up? They wanted their choice John McCain to run against the weakest candidate possible: a black man with a muslim name. They tricked dems into nominating Obama and now they're tearing him apart to get McCain in The White House. THEY'RE JEWS AND THIS IS THE JEWISH AGENDA.

[zyou8er]

He is less then a Muslim and Christian, he is a peace of $hit.

[omarhea1]

SO IS YOUR CANDIDATE...GOP

[kublakhan1816]

The magazine is making fun of all the people that actually believe what you guys in the comment section are imputing onto the cover.

Fox news started the "Terrorist Fist Jab." The cover is asking you, "Do you actually believe people believe this shit?"

[Orion602]

nice cover:)

[crazycatfguy]

Satire is one thing but if there is not an article in the magazine that debunks the cover then it is in bad taste.

[bluemangos]

this cover is a lie.. and an american who cant get it is an idiot and explains why this country got fucked over the last 8 years..

[flicchic8100]

screw Obama!!!

[S197V6TT]

For all the Americans out there, watch a video called "American Blackout"! Once you view it, you will die to vote for Cynthia McKinney!

A little Black Lady from Atlanta, trying to save this Country, all by herself.

It brought me to tears at the end. I had no idea she went through all this to find out the truth about 911 and the election in 2000..

Also watch her grill Rumsfeld's punk ass. She punked him hard and its on video. She was trying to figure out why children are used as sex slaves.

[alexforever411]

Best cover of the year!

Wooo!

[KerforKurb]

McCain's CAMPAIGN supports These LIES about Obama

Shut your fucking statement McDouche

[historywillabsolve]

I bet you'll hang this one on your wall starcatcher lol

[S197V6TT]

After Obama's sell out on FISA, I don't have the time to worry about whether he is Muslim or not. I am not voting for him anyway! I am voting for Cynthia McKinney!

If more people would wake up and smell the roses, they would understand Obama is not for real. We need to pull a jack move on this whole establishment and put McKinney in as President!

Cynthia McKinney08!!
