Several posters clearly stated this fact earlier this week:
“Why did progressives recoil? Because the more savvy among them sense that, like much humor, this cartoon was an exaggeration that contained no small kernel of recognizable truth.”
The sniveling liberals, the muslims, and their allies fear the ugly head of truth.
“Why did progressives recoil? Because the more savvy among them sense that, like much humor, this cartoon was an exaggeration that contained no small kernel of recognizable truth.”
I think it’s the exact opposite. They recoiled, because it contained TOO MUCH truth.
The fact is — satire works when you exagerate to outrageous proportions a small truth.
For example the new jib jab video works and is funny because it takes a truth - Obama’s flowery language and exagerates it with unicorns, pink bunnies and a cast of xanadu.
The NewYorker cover to the contrary is straight truth
