Exactly!!! No one here seems to get that! They don't realize that this is Liberals eating their own. They were so sure that the vast majority would see the satire in it and laugh it off and it didn't land that way.
So people here go after the Right and they had nothing to do with it!!!!

I bet you wish you can blame President Bush as well...

Oh they so wish they could!!! I'm sure they'll figure out a way. After all ..... everything is Bush's fault according to the Left. I'm sure this is, too.
I wonder if the Democrats ever take responsibility for anything at all. I don't think so. It's always the blame game. |

What Do You Think Of The New Yorker Magazine's Cover Picture
It's a wonderful parody of all the hard-right ignorance.  |

Too bad, then, that the hard-left don't understand satire.
We could get picky and explain all the reasons for that, but I'm just not evil enough by nature. |

Other, please post...
I think it's very clever and humorous. All of the crazy distortions and bogus fears of the Obamaphobes are right there in one place. |

No Jack, you'll have to try harder. Maybe one day you'll post a thread based on serious policy thought instead of juvenile rants. |

I think they recognized the joke but felt it was tacky - I mean you have to consider the audience when you're telling these jokes. If they showed this on CNN - big laughs. BET - not so much. |

I'm just happy the truth is getting out on the internet about Barack Hussein Obama. McCain doesn't need all those donations.
Obama needs that money because it costs a lot of money to spread his lies.
I'm happy that I helped defeat John Kerry the last time around. I didn't serve with the Swift Boaters in Vietnam, but I proudly helped them get their message out. That was fun too! Thank God (And Al Gore) for email, message boards and websites. They are all great tools.
We did it before with John Kerry and we will do it again with Barack Hussein Obama.
JoeP, you and your buddies will be very angry in November. |

Parodies are always tacky humor. But it is just that, humor. The politically correct crowd is just bent out of shape, because this tacky joke is at their expense. So much for their "tolerance"...don't seem to have much do they?
The do as I say not as I do crowd is upset. Boo Hoo.
Get a grip. It was all in good fun. Anyone who see it otherwise is a bore.
