No sense of humor?

 

I have a great sense of humor. Was there something funny that I missed?

You obviously don't....

The problem is not the cartoon but, rather, that many (including more than a few BGPers) believe that the satire is true. The NYer needs to dumb it down so that we don't have the morons saying "See! I told you he was a Muslim." The only thing they could have added would have been a video with "whitey" coming out of Mrs. Obama's mouth.

 

I don't know any BGPers that believe it....Maybe you can enlighten us...???

If it had been on the 2cd pageof the New Yorker people who didnt understand satire would never have seen it because those type people wpold never have opened the magazine. Look, political satire drawings have been around since the Revolution. These guys are running for president...get used to it!! And I mean OBama and McCain!!!

Abraham Lincoln v. George McClellan, 1864

Lincoln is shaking hands with labor. McClellan is shaking hands with Jefferson Davis.

:rolleyes: Is it because he's you're guy or is it something else about it that bothers you? You seem to be the only one offended by my posts, so I am curious as to why.

Actually there was a thread on this forum about 3 months ago that was started by a member who shall remain nameless. He/she was posting the email glurge that listed just such things as this cartoon lampooned. That poster openly tried to use the internet glurge as something of proof about Obama as a Muslim tied to extremists.

 

If you can't recall it maybe I can dig it up off the archives and PM it to you.

Political satire is only funny when it exagerates some trait that has a basis in truth. Neither your posts nor the New Yorker meet that test. See the latest jib jab video. That's funny.
