This is so sweet....the left is in deep conflict over appearing hip and “getting” the “irony” of The New Yorker cover, or condemning it for inadvertantly confirming the “fears” of those who “cling to their religion and their guns”.....I love it.

Seemed like a hateful and inappropriate remark about America to me.

No, sounds like something Michelle Ma Belle would say...

Satire can reveal truth. This cover delivers 100%.
Wolf Blitzer on CNN was acting all out angry to the editor. Liberals hating liberals. What’s not to love!

[SaintDismas]

What is so hilarious is that magazine is just so, well, “sophisticated” with their high art of satire, and we, by contrast are just such gap toothed unwashed and uneducated country bumkin rednecks, who don’t even read that stupid rag, and we don’t GET IT.  We just see the picture and well, just dayum, whad I tell you Marge, it’s true!!  Lookee there, they’re even burnin a flag in the fireplace!! 
Wow, that worked out just real well, didn’t it?

The worst thing about this cover, is the utter contempt it conveys of conservatives by the magazine.
It assumes Obamas idea of conservatives as a group of angry, buck toothed, unshaven, dimwits.

[Lancey Howard]

As you know, the New Yorker is a liberal magazine that was spoofing misconceptions about Obama

I don't know that at all.

Obama was taught the Koran despite being raised by an athiest mother, and he only became a "Christian" to boost his political career in Southside Chicago. Twenty years of applauding Reverend Wright definitely qualifies the B. Hussein Obamas as extremist America-haters.

So where's the "spoof" and what are the "misconceptions"?

[JimSEA]

One of the panelists, an African American gentleman whose name I missed, approvingly repeated a quote (I think from Ossie Davis) that the New Yorker cover is "America attempting to raise its ugly racist head, and we must be prepared to cut it off"!

Aren't reactions like this just the reason The New Yorker ran the cover. I mean, McCain hasn't raised any racial issues or made any accusation about Obama's background either on on Black Liberation Theology or Marxism. Someone has to get the ball rolling so all McCain supporters can be labeled as the vile miscreants everyone knows they are.

The New Yorker cover is just the latest version of the dingbat professor painting racist slogans on her own car and then phoning it in as a “hate crime,” the countless nooses and racial epithets attached to or painted on dorm room doors by their semi-deranged residents, who, upon getting fingered as the authors of the hate crimes directed at themselves, claim it was all an exercise in “performance art” designed to “raise questions” among the complacent white booj-wah-zie. Oh, and also get their names on the evening news, never a small consideration for these types.

[TBP]

Was the New Yorker really being "satirical" or is this a setup like the Jackson thing was to make Obama look good?

[TBP]

The best things to come out of the New Yorker were the cartoons of Charles Addams.

Shirts. We need shirts.

Excuse my creative lack of HTML but I would change this headline into: CNN Panelist: Cut Off America’s Islamic Head

Whoever, wherever, any leading spokesperson of Islam in the US should not be allowed any public office and should be deported or exiled.

Yes, but these are the black ‘leaders’ selected by the mainstream media.

Black people with sensible and sound opinions, with thoughtful and intelligent takes on life, are not welcome.

thus the mainstream media is defeating its own pupose. THEY are the ones portraying black people in a negative light.
