I thought the cover of the magazine was very
well done. It would not change my mind on
how I would vote. Although it will not be
for Obama. I was against that from the
first but not because of any cartoon or
article that I have read. Just my personel
opinion.

This controversial cover of The New Yorker Magazine is more worthy of Al Goldstein’s Screw Magazine than anything else I can think of.

The so called “satire” appears to be done in bad faith, similar to the Altman film “Mash” being tauted as anti-war film. What they purport as how the “lower classes” perceive things, they are actually enacting.

I can’t believe people are blaming Fox news . I’m sure these people are CNN or MSN watches , as they do the exact same thing against McCain . I think all news stations have there own agenda . Fox news has there’s , but it’s the only one that doesn’t Kiss up to the Democratic point of view all the time . I’ve heard them express positive and negative views for both sides and both candidates whereas all I hear from CNN and MSN news all negative against anything Republican or Mc Cain or they just don’t give McCain much air time .

“For the first time in my life I am really proud of my country.” — Michelle Obama

“I hate America. I hate White People.” — Rev. Wright, Black Liberation Theology Leader

The South Chicago Trio … Barak Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama, and Rev. Wright. The type of people we want involved in America’s Destiny.

I just can’t believe why all these little left-wing nut jobs posting comments here are so upset with the truth. I know it wasn’t your intent New Yorker, but you need to receive some type of award for truth in journalism, even if it was accidental. In one simple page, one simple picture, you have conveyed a level of truth never before seen in any form of extreme left-wing media … I commend you The New Yorker.

I can’t believe the right wing idiots that are too ignorant to see the irony of this cover-and want a subscription to the New Yorker. I warn you, it has big words you won’t know… and lots of cartoons you won’t understand. They are making fun of you, get it…. laughing at you right wing idiots. Oh, jeez…
++++++++++++++=
Oh, we will know the big words. They will be the same ones we read and hear everyday when the left wing extremeists try to spead their stupidity across the world. They thought they were making fun … but the little left wing clowns are so very upset because they even see some of the truth in the picture … nice work The New Yorker.

Wow. I pray to God that the racist ppl leaving comments below do not represent all of America. Leave it to the hillbillies and rednecks to ignorantly think that anyone who is not of the Aryan “master race” is a terroist. Black people are just as much American as you- why would we want to distroy our own home? The only people voting for McCain are racist, selfish, wealthy (but often poor redneck)!

That is a crying shame the New Yorker’s artist is very petty and unmature.
