New Yorker Magazine Featuring Barack & Michelle Obama Under Fire: YES, THIS GOES TOO FAR!


In a satirical swipe at the crazy rumors about the presidential candidate and his wife, Michelle, the liberal magazine depicts them as terrorists in the oval office. Obama is in Muslim clothing; Michelle, in an Afro and military garb, has an AK-47 slung over he shoulder, reports the UK Guardian.

While it’s a joke, has the magazine gone to far?

The magazine has gone too far. It gives the wrong ideas to many people.

The magazine is loved by many interested in excellent writing and good illustrations. While I disagree with this cover I sense they have done something that might actually be of service. There are hidden values and sentiments about the Obamas. Perhaps this startling cover will stimulate conversation.

This incendiary cover of the Obama’s could
certainly sway some democratic voters.
Not every Muslim is a terrorist. We’ll have to wait and see his positions on Israel
and the Iraq war pullout in the coming months before the National Democratic Party Convention.

This is so typical of the magazine. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shuddered upon looking at their cover. I don’t think it is good taste and I don’t know if it’s good satire.

I’m surprised at the New Yorker. I’ve always felt that it was an excellent magazine. I definitely feel that they’ve gone way too far.

Does free speech still mean something to you ?
If it does, cool your tongue, let it go, and think harder about “that little thing” called Free Speech !
(BTW Irwin Metviner even if “Not every Muslim is a terrorist” none of them disagree when it comes to condemning what their terrorist brother do).
Oh, and whoever gets offended by a cartoon can go join the stupid Muslim fanatics in their irrational blabber.
