ARE THEY FUCKING SERIOUS

THIS IS THEIR COVER

You can't see it in the pic but the cover also shows an American flag burning in the fireplace

Ok, yea yea, freedom of speech and I agree, they have the right but this is such bad taste I have to exercise my right to say it's pure crap of the New Yorker to have this as a cover... Assholes...

There is a long history of brutal satire in US Politics. This is basically a political cartoon that is most likely intended to get you fired up to buy the mag and read the article

Is the article fair?

According to the renditionist, it was actually meant to be a pro-Obama illustration that pokes fun at the mud that's being flung at him by the likes of Neocon assholes like Hannity and Crowley.

that's how I saw it

Yes, they call this satire, but in reality, this is not cool at all. The funny thing is that the New Yorker is a liberal magazine, and they are putting this out.

Lets see how many people get fired for this obviously slanderful (although they hide behind the 'satire' name) picture.

We get angry when anyone burns an American flag, yet this magazine does it with glee. Jeez.

Yes, welcome to the liberal thinking. This renditionist is an idiot.

How can a picture be slander?

Has anyone actually read the article?

ARE THEY FUCKING SERIOUS THIS IS THEIR COVER

Hahahahahahah... the wife hates the USA, BO might as well be a black liberationist, and their associates have done much worse than burn flags.

Epic truth even if unintentional.

there is NO TRUTH - that's why it's funny

I think it shows the lunacy of what some people will allow them selves to believe.

Other then that, the people who really do believe it will cheer it. While the people who don;t will say it was in bad taste.

I'm still wondering if BO kids are speaking Spanish yet.

I don't believe it and I don't think it's in bad taste either

It's taking all the stupid stuff said about Obama and amplifying it to emphasize the stupidity of it all

I don't think he'll be a great president. I don't think as of right now he'll even get elected.

However,

Do you really believe his wifes is a communist and he's a muslim?
