Kwanza Christmas comes early for the Obama campaign!
The New Yorker Magazine released this cover it plans to publish for its July 21 Edition! So how could something so tasteless be beneficial for the Obama Campaign?
Think about it... for the next few days (possibly longer depending on how much traction this gets, or is allowed to get in the mainstream media... I suspect quite a bit actually) we will be talking about how disrespectful this is, how insulting, how racist, etc... Republicans and democrats alike will have to agree this is tasteless.
In order to really demonstrate our disdain for tripe like this we Republicans will be forced to state things like:
"Of course Barack Hussein Obama is a Patriotic American who loves his country... He would never do anything to weaken our stature in the world!"
"Having Michele carry an AK-47 is a travesty! She's always been for GUN CONTROL!"
"Besides! Good Democrats would NEVER BURN THE AMERICAN FLAG!... in a fireplace... in private... no press attention for "The Cause" to be gained in such a private act!"
"Oh... the picture on the wall illustrating support for Osama... well that's just silly! Barack isn't a Muslim!"
Seriously, this cover is a boon for the Obama Campaign. Just as the polls are beginning to narrow because real issues facing Americans are becoming harder and harder to ignore, the Obama camp can only benefit from redirecting attention from serious issues like Terrorism, Green Environmental Economic Destruction, Federal Economic Intervention levels, Energy Policy, His lack of any tangible leadership experience etc... Obama is able to refocus on the one element where he can leverage sympathy and empathy. The Stereotyping, race-bating, religion-bating baseless attacks of the ignorant.
"Drown me! Roast me! Hang me! Do whatever you please," said Brer Rabbit. "Only please, Brer Fox, please don't throw me into the briar patch."
"The briar patch, eh?" said Brer Fox. "What a wonderful idea! You'll be torn into little pieces!"
The New Yorker is a long time supporter of Liberal ideals and as such one must be suspicious of a cover that so negatively portrays their guy! There is an ulterior motive, don't doubt otherwise. Getting Republicans to publicly proclaim that all of these satirical stereotypes imbedded in this cartoon are categorically false is the ultimate goal of a cover like this!
- Barack is not a Muslim - he's said so.
- Michelle is not a terrorist - She's proud to be an American... now.
- Obama would never celebrate Osama... Obama hopes more than anything that slippery sombitch is caught!... in 8 months!... So he can face trial...
- Burning the American Flag in such a fashion is a travesty!... We've already covered the "Proper Democrat Way to Burn An American Flag"
- Michelle in Camo? Now that's just WAAAY over the top! Michelle would NEVER be in Uniform!
Tune in to all the talking head shows and watch how many times issues are brought up over the next few days. Remember once again how we treat BARACK is the topic of conversation! Not how Barack will treat us... poor, poor Barack!
Michelle is not a terrorist. She and BHO just sit on boards, hold funraisers, etc. with known terrorists. The Weather Underground ring a bell. Yeah those folks who wanted to blow up cops and members of the military here in the USA. The same folks who either think 9/11/2001 was an "inside job" or "justifiable".
They both are naive, elitist, liberal fascists.
