Where was the moral indignation when TNY had the cover of an Hassidic Jew french kissing a Palestinian terrorist?

Enjoying the Angela Davis look for Comrade Michele.

I knew a McCain hater would twist this Obama post into an cheap attack on McCain. Whats it like being an Obama Collaborator ?

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Oh, it’s just fantastic now that you mention it. I get in to all the coolest clubs for free and all of the best newspapers want to hire me as a journalist. I’m thinking I can parlay this whole ‘McCain hate’ thing into a lucrative career!

I’m sorry that you think that I ‘twisted this into a cheap attack’ on McCain. Oh, wait. THINKING isn’t your strongsuit.

Therefore, I’ll disregard your moronic comment.

[ncalburt]

Its tough when your outed for WHAT YOU REALLY ARE !
An Obama Collaborator !
Whether your an McCain hater or Obama operative, you do the same thing like clockwork. You change the subject back to attacking McCain when Obama is being attacked. We are not fooled by the fact you avoid the actual TOPIC of the POST which is Obama and the New Yorker cover !

Somebody at the New Yorker gets it, 99.9 percent of liberals do not -- it's beyond the ability of emotions to understand.

Those 99.9 percent of liberals want to continue screaming "Racist!" as their most effective discourse; but this ain't the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. The 0.1 percent wanted something new -- something erudite like screaming "Calumnist!"? No effect on conservatives. "Prove it!" they demanded.

Lampoonery! An excellent choice. Just a couple of problems. It ain't going to affect us and the 99.9 percent of the liberals are too stupid to get it.

Oh, yeah. You really got me pegged. Who’s this ‘we’ that’s ‘not fooled’ by ‘fact’(s)?

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that it was just you, but I’m sure you have some fellow morons around here who would buy into your nonsense.

Unlike you, some folks know me around here.

About 500,000 New Yorkers will see nothing but the cover at news stands as they hustle to and from work. Hell there might ever be posters on the transit system hyping the story...

[ncalburt]

SO , you been here a long time ?What does that prove ?
Your the one trying to change the subject away from Obama and the New Yorker and turn it into a McCain bashing session. I just pointed out the facts and question your motives. Its a GOOD QUESTION.We are posting about Obama not McCain here if you haven't noticed the topic.

[sinanju]

You’ve got a point there, we dropped trou and bent over for crap from Bush that we would never have accepted from a democrat prez.

[rbmillerjr]

You’re right, perception is everything. We live in the world of super-quick messages and perceptions.

McCain is going to win this election. People, deep-down, do not trust Obama and conservatives are not going to want 3-4 Ruth Bader Ginsbergs sitting on the Supreme Court.

[sinanju]

And McCain already apologized on The New Yorker’s behalf.

Real pit-bull, that man.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Oh, yes, you’ve got me for sure. Please clear it up for everyone just what ‘facts’ you’re pointing out?

I wouldn’t say that I’ve been here a long time, but I’ve been here longer than you have. (Ain’t hard to do that.) Normally, that might not be an issue, but in my time here, I’ve been quite clear on my conservative beliefs and the philosophy behind them. I see no such past from you. I’d wonder why if I took you seriously or cared at all.

BTW, I’m the one that was actually posting on the topic at hand. YOU are the one that has turned this into some personal manhood challenge that you can’t live up to.

[ncalburt]

Why are we trashing McCain in a Obama post ? Whats the point of changing the topic of the post into a McCain bashing session ? Is the Obama story too much to handle ?

[lainie]

Looks like Gene Simmons from KISS.

[ncalburt]

The post is about OBAMA not McCain. Your the one upset over being referred to what you what you really are ,an OBama collaborator . You peddle lies like McCain is a socialist which is a LIE to help out Obama . Its your agenda but you won't admit it .Only Obama has promised to socialize medicine , increase social security taxes, tax capital gains , regulate what people eat, regulate what people drive (no SUVs) , and redistribute people's wealth ( Michele 's Piece of the pie speech),not McCain. But you take this negative
Obama post and try to intentionally change the subject into an McCain hate fest.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Yeah, I’m very upset. Again, you have me totally pegged. You have called me out and totally upset me. I don’t even know how I’m going to sleep tonight now that you’ve exposed me on Free Republic. It seems like just yesterday that everyone knew me as a conservative around here and now you’ve gone and blown the lid off my ruse.

With your clever ways, one wonders why you’re still stuck posting here and wasting your valuable time.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Just so you know, I”m headed off to bed now. We can continue this fun stuff tomorrow. I wouldn’t want you to think that I stopped responding when you took such a long time to formulate your brilliant response to me.

See ya tommorrow. :)

It is satire, but that is news nowadays lol.
