The Onion Can’t Bear to Mock The One

America’s Finest News Source has some explaining to do.

The Onion , the usually biting comic weekly, just can’t bring itself to mock President Barack Obama. The One has been in office for more than a month now, and the last four Onion issues have tip-toed around anything remotely tough on the Commander-in-Chief. It’s hardly a shock, since most comics in toto seem to have a hands off approach to the new president. But The Onion?

The Onion forbids Free Republic from using their material in any way!

Do they have the same policy with DUmbo, Huff'n'puff or the Daily Kooks?

That thing about Conan really worries me. It's bad enough that he grew up in a third-world country and came of age as a cog in the Chicago political machine... but his hero is Conan the Cimmerian?

Good advice; if you want to know why just go there and watch the most current video — exit FR first.

[EveningStar]

Yeah. But you can’t post the link here.

I don’t think Holder’s assertion that America’s a nation of racial cowards was a dressing-down; I think, coming from the current AG, it was a warning, meant to remind us of who is now in charge.

EVERY news story about Obama already sounds like it's from The Onion.

"President Obama pushed through legislation today allocating 30 million dollars for a salt marsh harvest mouse resort."

"Obama appoints pornography advocate to top Justice Department position."

Whether they are protecting mice, sleaze, or the latest appointee who doesn't pay his taxes, it reads like its own satire.

I had this valentine post of Michelle pulled by the mods, and others complained by freepmail it simulated something similar to the monkey cartoon. It is intended as a joke only.

Bill Griffith is one liberal who apparently has not drunk the kool-aid:

Forbidding linking is the equivalent of the kids in the back seat yelling

“Dad! He’s looking at me!”

But, then again leftists are perpetually in an INFANTILE mindset.

[Future Snake Eater]

What. The hell. Was that?

[bigheadfred]

I'd forgotten The Onion even existed.

I get most of my satire from ThePeoplesCube.com and Scrappleface.com anyway.

I hope you don't mind if I link these?

Zippy Livni the pinhead?

Hmm but HotAir can link them and quote them.

We wouldn't want to disturb The Onion's writers while they're dallying over yet another personal ice cream tub of ObamasAss!^TM flavor, would we?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - good!

[an amused spectator]

I’ve noticed the same thing with Doonsbury, which I never read, but have made a point of scanning on a near-daily basis to catch the subject matter. Nothing. Nada - and in this gaffe-rich environment that is The Obama Regime. Unbelievable.

As I've posted before - all you need to do is picture these hate-filled klowns like Garry Trudeau and the writers at The Onion huddled over their personal tub of ObamasAss!^TM ice cream, licking their Messiah-excrement-encrusted spoons with relish, and you'll know all you need to know.

I thought it was bad with Clinton, but this is throwing-up-stomach-lining-chunks bad. And they don't even see it.

Can I use a headline to link to The Onion on my site?

The Onion does not support the use of its headlines without the express written consent of the publisher. You can put a link to The Onion on your site but may not use the headlines or content.

This is on their site. Where does it say that I can't link to FR?

I guess I should print that list and keep it handy. Thanks.

FSE, you are obviously not having fun yet.
