Scare Tactic — Obama Slams Muslim Portrayal By: Mike Allen
The Obama campaign is condemning as “tasteless and offensive” a New Yorker magazine cover that depicts Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in a turban, fist-bumping his gun-slinging wife.
An American flag burns in their fireplace.
The New Yorker says it's satire. It certainly will be candy for cable news.
The Obama campaign quickly condemned the rendering. Spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement: “The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."
The issue, which goes on sale Monday, includes a long piece by Ryan Lizza about Obama’s start in Chicago politics.
At a press availability Sunday afternoon in San Diego, Senator Obama was asked, according to a transcript by Maria Gavrilovic of CBS News: “The upcoming issue of the New Yorker, the July 21st issue, has a picture of you, depicting you and your wife on the cover.
“Have you seen it? If not, I can show it to you on my computer. It shows your wife Michelle with an Afro and an AK 47 and the two of you doing the fist bump with you in a sort of turban-type thing on top. I wondered if you’ve seen it or if you want to see it or if you have a response to it?”
Obama, shrugging incredulously: “I have no response to that.”
...
Lol. There couldn’t be a truer depiction.
wouldn’t be a kick if
cair
started protesting now?
The most accurate portrayal I’ve seen yet!
Nice!!!
I wanna buy the poster!!!
The large pic cuts off the American flag burning in the fireplace.
The truth hurts.
I had no idea that a leftist rag like that would try and be funny.
Some liberal commie editor is going to get fired over this!!
YEAH!!!
Truth hurts don’t it B.H.O.?
And the portrait of Bin Laden hanging on the wall is a great touch.
Is that a picture of Osama over the fireplace, or Rev.Not-So-Wright in a turban and beard?
BO better toughen up! Does he really think that if he actually get elected that the electorate won’t treat him like any others have been treated before him? Grow-up!
Wow! The portrait really appears to have struck a nerve with Obamessiah. Could it be that it is not far removed from the truth?
I like it. Hope I can get a poster-sized version framed.

Barack Obama and the Muslim call to prayer
On this day in 2007, Barack Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.” In an interview with The New York Times, Senator Obama recited, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent,” the opening lines of this prayer:
“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... “
