I like Obama, the New Yorker has every right to lampoon whatever they like. You know as well as I that a major smear campaign is being conducted via emails that paint this picture of Obama that is satirized on the cover, yes the less intelligent among us may actually not get it, yes they will think it further enforces the smear emails (I get 'em every day) they believe are real. No the New Yorker has no responsibility to ensure people don't misinterpret their cartoons. Controversy sells, that's the real issue. I bet the New Yorker seriously increased their sales with all the publicity. The MSM gives and the MSM taketh away. They create these diversions.

  What I want to know is why no one is talking about the position reversals, reversals again and more reversals from the McCain camp. Goodness anyone who can call up google can find McCain condemning any given stance and praising it in another video. Talk about checking the wind direction with your finger? No one has quite exemplified this as much as McCain.

      Fixing is a funny word.
      You can fix a cat, a ticket, or a broken clock.
      Fixing a post would be correcting its mistakes.
      Substituting Obama's name for McCain, in a comment about McCain, shows you don't really care about defending McCain; you care about ripping Obama.
      McCain is just your Mit Romney delivery system.
      I change my mind; 'fixing' isn't always funny.

        Are you that stupid or jus playing at it. She made the whole point that Radiofreeeuropa was making and turned it around on him. I feel that it was funny. Most of the same words and a truthful statement was made. Of course a liberal will be angry that truth is told that way about the hero of hope and change. Question is Hope for what and Change to what. It is a moving target these days.
        He was supposed to be a "new kind of politician" but is just another one of the same.

        Hi Endoscopy!
        Yes, I am that stupid.
        I would never PLAY at being stupid.
        That's a dangerous game.
        I mean, playing stupid would be to pretend morals I don't have; to praise truth and embrace lies; to support a band of chicken hawk tin lapel-pin patriots who lead my country to pointless war and debt and ruin, -
        how stupid would that be?

    I think lots of people are talking about McCain and his alleged multitude of flip-flops, RFE. I'm not sure why you say that isn't happening.
    But, speaking of googling flip flops, what about these:
    http://massdiscussion.blogspot.com/2008/06/coll...
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/ar...
    http://www.usnews.com/blogs/erbe/2008/6/23/bara...
    I don't see a whole lot in the MSM except to defend these things as nuances or further articulations or refinements. Except for FISA which even the MSM couldn't find a way to excuse.
    As I've said elsewhere, they're both politicians. The difference is that Obama claims to be something more, something better, something new. He claims to be what we need to heal the world...I'm not buying it.

    Thanks for stopping by, RFE. I appreciate your perspective.

      Someday, SonOfTheMask, we WILL get under your skin; we will taunt you with truth and wikepedia links until you are reduced like the other neo-cons to senseless slathering babble, replying with ROFLMAO instead of articulate objections.
      Curse your mature and polite examination of all sides, and your objectivity and your little dog too.

        LOL! For starters, I have had a couple meltdowns where I fired off some "senseless slathering babble"...you just missed them. I learned a few hard lessons when my "privileges" were suspended back in the Netscape days.
        As for ROTFLMAO, I think dunkirk has that one covered. He must be earning royalties per ROTFLMAO as often as he uses the term. :)
        I am immodest enough to congratulate myself for having some pretty good acquaintances across the political spectrum here at Propeller. I like to think of myself of slightly right of center, but that seems to translate to neo-con to some (ahem...). Still, I count a number of more liberal/progressive folks as acquaintances whom I admire and respect.
        I do, however, stay away from water to avoid melting.
        "I'll get you, my pretty!"

        CRYMTYPHON
        Such a response that speaks volumes about the poster. The typical ad hominem attack has no equal to this. Way to go. Who needs intelligent discussion when you can do this.

        ENDOSCOPY
        Such a response that speaks volumes about the endoscopy; specificaly, it speaks that you failed to understand I was complimenting SonOfTheMask for her patience, honesty, objectivity and just-in-general maturity.
        These virtues are as alien to me as they are to you, bro;
        and I would give you a BIG hug to express the solidarity all angry people like us have, - but lets not.
