Our cover ... combines a number of fantastical images about the Obamas and shows them for the obvious distortions they are," he said in a statement.
"The burning flag, the nationalist-radical and Islamic outfits, the fist-bump, the portrait on the wall - all of them echo one attack or another. Satire is part of what we do, and it is meant to bring things out into the open, to hold up a mirror to the absurd. And that's the spirit of this cover," Remnick said.
its like a inkblot. you conjure up your own opinions by looking at it. the more i look at the pictures, you'll see what detractors have brought up, the fist bump, being a muslim terrorist, anti-american etc. this cartoon portrays what people like pat patriot think obama is in their distorted minds. it's actually a real intelligent piece, i hope they don't get rid of it right away.

This is all you righties have left- the ad hominem attack? :nohead:
Satire my ass...look sheeple- Obama is headed for a blowout, a 30-state victory in November- and blatantly racist political propaganda like this shows how desparate the opposition is getting. Thats all I see here. Patheticly funny though...nice try and all that- its not going to sway anybodies thinking- but keep the limp dick circle-jerk going all night if you want to. The right of your perverted pleasure at his expense is all yours.
Just remember this- he will soon be getting the last laugh -eating up all your red states in addition to the blue ones. :nohead:

Yes, satire.
It's reasonable to predict that at least 95% of the New Yorker magazine - from publisher down through editors to staff - will vote Democratic and Obama in November.
And thus we can safely deduce that the cover cartoon is a direct spoof on the rabid Obamaphobes who have falsely portrayed him as everything from a non-American to a practicing Muslim to a guy married to a BlackPanther Idi Amin-style spouse.
The laughs are being directed at those Obamaphobes, you may be certain, as was the editorial intent of the New Yorker.

the editor explained that it's a playoff of what people like you think of him. you can see it 2 ways. that he is a anti-america, revolutionary muslim like you think he is, or you can see it the other way, that the cartoon is what the right wingers want you to believe he is. i could tell especially with the fist bump, since fox news was going crazy over that calling it terrorism. you see what you want to see essentially.
If it's satire...Bambi didn't get it either.
Or is this just more evidence Bambi is a pussy? :toast:
Barack Obama's campaign lashed out Sunday at the editors of The New Yorker magazine for a cartoon cover that depicts the Democratic candidate and his wife as fist-bumping terrorists.
The magazine's editor described the cartoon, called "The Politics of Fear," as satire. The Obama campaign called it "tasteless and offensive."

Why would the red states vote for this man? There are still many people who are not comfortable with his being black. Especially the red states are afraid he will be adding to the entitlements that blacks already receive. Others are not comfortable with his ties to the Muslim world and are afraid he will be soft on terrorism as a result of it.
