10. That's hilarious! It's a spoof on Limbaugh, Hannity & brethren.

How could anybody be upset by that, and think that the New Yorker means it? It's one of the funniest LEFTIST cartoons I've ever seen!

3. Some people are pissed,

some concerned that this will be all over the news and the general population won't recognize it as satire, some think it's no big deal.

I think I've covered the general responses that have been put forward in the 300 threads thus far.

4. Er, you couldn't find any threads about it?

[SwampG8r]

5. lots of outrage but no links to what caused it

now i can see why some are upset
kind of a tempest in a teapot

7. in short: they should have done a watercolor of a brownstone on the cover

instead of what they did.

8. We suddenly realized that we'd been masturbating over FISA for a full week,

and decided we needed a new Mass Hysteria.

9. first time i've seen it is on this thread.

I didn't know what to expect from all the descriptions here- but my first reaction was 'wtf-thisis so wrong'
satire or not I think this is in really bad taste - wonder how a picture of bush slaughering young Iranian children with a rusty knife would go over - and thats the Truth - wonder how that would fly with the satire crowd. thing is I've love to see something like that but it jsut doens't happen, does it? so why should Obama be the brunt of this kiknd of thing - and as for what the actual content of the article accompanyng was about - that doesn't matter much to me - it's the cover that gives the first lasting impression and people will leave with that.

i may chang emy mind, i sometimes do, just going by gut reaction here and i was really angry at what was done to the Obama's.
