Barack Obama and John McCain campaign call the New Yorker cover "tasteless and offensive." MSNBC's David Shuster talks with political pundits about the controversy.
My foot the owner or owners of the NEW YORKER should be fined under laws protecting being able to write on the flag by the fact that tthe words are conceiled behind Mrs. and Mr. Obama's heads towitt fine cease the end of the day's sales average the return claims and fine.
Yep, shut it DOWN! a cartoon is one thing, but a nasty hurtful blatant diss like this has gone way too far! By the way when did the fist bump become a terrorist thing! don't these Fox News assholes types watch sports? My NY Yankees do it all the time!Them and the other 1000 pro teams do it! This is just out of hand!
Strategically speaking, I do believe Obama did the right thing, specially after McCain said it was offensive. He could make McCain seem dumb by explaining the satire. On the other hand, McCain could twist Obama's endorsement of the cover into a nice speech of how that sort satire is what we could expect of Obama and his candidacy. Thin ice either way. There are more stupid people than there are smart people, and this IS an election. He had to go with the popular voice, not the smart ones.
I'm disappointed at Obama, I thought he would have been smart enough to be one of the "select few" who have a functioning sarcasm detector. Either way, I guess he has reason to be concerned either way though, since the majority of americans are idiots who don't get it.
You sound like a scratched record. I have heard this shit from you right wing nuts for so long it makes me want to puke. It makes me want to vote for any one other than who you support. Please try to come up with something new. If these people are so bad that the world should feel threatened maybe they should be sentenced to death. For your information jesus was a jew they are not considered to be Caucasian AKA white.

The New Yorker is for elite New Yorkers like me...the rest of the country that doesn't get the joke should just go back to NASCAR and dogfights.
