Today's forecast calls for heavy seething.....
Barack Obama's campaign is condemning as “tasteless and offensive” a New Yorker magazine cover that depicts Obama in a turban, fist-bumping his gun-slinging wife.
An American flag burns in their fireplace.
The New Yorker says it's satire. It certainly will be candy for cable news.The Obama campaign quickly condemned the rendering. Spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement: “The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds quickly e-mailed: “We completely agree with the Obama campaign, it’s tasteless and offensive.”

But of course Juan would jump right in to defend his leftist friends.

New Yorker Magazine at the Newstand: $6.95
AK-47 on the Black Market: $800
American Flag burning in the Fire Place supplied by Presidential Advisor William Ayers : FREE!
Obama's Native Costume from his hometown Souk: 17.5 Dinars
When the New Yorker's attempt at "Satire" backfires because it turns out to be 100% TRUE: PRICELESS!
Looks like the "joke's" on them!

Obama's upset? Boo-fucking-hoo. What a pantload.
Posted by: Shayne | July 13, 2008 at 10:54 PM
After what President Bush endured for eight years, this is nothing.
Obama better be ready. If he wins, and he probably will, he better grow a suit of armor. It's going to get ugly.

Obama and McCain at La Raza: An open-borders lovefest

"If he wins, and he probably will"
I do not believe that Obama will win and I refuse to concede it until the election is held and IT"S OVER.
This is just more propaganda from the Media-Obama Complex. It's what they WANT you to believe. Just like Tokyo Rose in WWII. It's a BIG LIE. The MSM/Obama Complex is the new Joseph Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda.
Don't fall for this bullshit. It's nothing but propaganda. Grow a set. Fight back any way you can. MC ain't fighting back, he's kissing ass. So we have to do it for the lazy bastard.

Sad isnt it Bob. Juan wanted to be president so bad but wont even fight for it and he was handed Obama as a gift. Pathetic.
Posted by: Elric66 | July 14, 2008 at 11:28 AM
Yep. He could win it hands down if he got off his fucking ass and stopped all this nicey-nice bullshit.
Crap. Somebody calls MC unqualified and OB says HE doesn't believe that and MC's service should be honored.
Somebody disses OB and MC is all over it apologizing and castigating.
I want to see a fucking bare knuckle, knock down, winner take all fight to the last breath between these two.
If they're so fuckin' good, then why don't they prove it.
Oh. I forgot. "People don't like negative campaigning."
BULLSHIT! Everybody LOVES negative campaigning. If you push the other guy to the limit, you reveal his or her true character. THEN you KNOW who and what you're voting for. You reveal what they're made of.
Does anyone but the most insane SERIOUSLY believe that the Talaban/alQaeda/muslim terrorists will listen to anything without a gun barrel ready to blow off their heads? And maybe not even then.
I want a president with balls. Both of OB and MC are eunuchs. WE'd be better off with Hellary. She may be a socialist, but SHE has balls.
Posted by: Bob | July 14, 2008 at 11:48 AM
I dont expect or would want Juan to fight dirty. But to use Obama's words against his is perfectly fair. Just yesterday, Obama called our immigration enforcement "terrorism". If Juan was a man of character, he would use this. But noooooooo, but when the New Yorker prints an unflattering cartoon of him, Juan is right out their to defend him.
Posted by: Elric66 | July 14, 2008 at 11:53 AM
No matter who wins, we'll be calling this the "Pathetic Presidency".
I want a fucking LEADER! Not some academic wimp or a senator who never ran a business and has no balls. At this point, I don't think he as any character either.
Ann Coulter was right. Vote for Hellary.
(Actually, I'd rather stay home than vote for ANY of them even though I'll probably hold my nose, say a rosary and vote for MC. They're ALL tools.)
Posted by: Bob | July 14, 2008 at 12:01 PM
Im staying home. They are both morons, the worse choices you could ever have. Now if Juan picks a very strong conservative, I might change my mind. Juan wont last 8 years so his choice could decide the election.
Posted by: Elric66 | July 14, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Bob:
What the hell is the point of fighting if many so called conservatives are sitting on their asses on election day? They will hand Obama the victory, and they want to do it. They would rather punish the GOP and let America go to hell by giving Obama the White House. They don't give a rat's ass about America. They only care about themselves.
Posted by: atheling | July 14, 2008 at 12:35 PM
Still dont hold Juan and the RINO's accountable for anything, do you Atheling?
Posted by: Elric66 | July 14, 2008 at 12:45 PM
I've been giggling about this all day. Bush can be a "dictator," a "fascist," and a "Hitler," but Obama must not be compared to anything negative or it's racist or whatever. That afro just cracks me up.
Posted by: PK | July 14, 2008 at 12:56 PM
Stop lying, Elric, I've bitched to them and about them plenty. But guess what? The primaries are over. The war is between Obama and McCain and you are hell bent on ensuring that McCain doesn't win, which means that you want Obama to win. That's the math.
I've noticed that you enjoy calling McCain names, by calling him "Juan" and "McVain", but you never do the same for your boy, Obama. Why is that?
Posted by: atheling | July 14, 2008 at 01:13 PM
Oh, and Bob:
I don't need to "grow a set". I'm a woman, and I've got more of a "set" than Elric's boy, Obama has. In case you haven't noticed, there is a large group of pseudo conservatives who are whining and pouting that they didn't get who they wanted to win the primaries (and I also did not get who I wanted, but I'm not cutting off my nose to spite America's face), so they are planning to sit out this election, which is, in essence, handing the victory to Obama. These traitors would rather see the White House occupied by Barack Hussein Obama than "Juan McVain". That's how much they love their country.
Posted by: atheling | July 14, 2008 at 01:17 PM
Im not voting for Obama, so he isnt "my boy".. More deception?
You didnt answer if you hold them accountable for alienating the base. Do you?

In 1997 most of the British public stayed home and decided not to vote for anybody; everyone said there was no real choice between the two main parties. The Labour Party got into power on the lowest popular vote ever recorded (below 25% of the total electorate voted). In 10 years of being in power, that Party destroyed Britain's civil service, Parliament and infrastructures, enslaved it to the EU, aided and abetted Moslem plans for dominance... Nobody has any business staying home and not voting!!! That's how tyrannies gain legitimacy. The Democrats' National Convention is no shoo-in for BHO, let alone the national election. Haven't you spotted the cracks in the adoration facade by Old Media? I have, and the European media has definitely fallen out of love with him. Clinton is right: Obama is unelectable and will kill the Dems as a party.
Posted by: Merrimac | July 14, 2008 at 01:27 PM
Juan's doing his best to make Obama win.
Posted by: Elric66 | July 14, 2008 at 01:31 PM
Atheling,
You said, "I don't need to "grow a set". I'm a woman . . ." I assumed you undertood that this comment was metaphorical. Was I wrong?
Those who refuse to vote get what they voted for. Protest votes never work. Anyone who studies history knows that.
The warp and woof of the fabric of society encompassas many different points of view and IMO, I don't think calling those who don't vote "traitors" adds much to the discussion, although I can tell you feel deeply about this issue.
As far as their being a "point" to fighting, if I have to explain it, you'll never get it.
Victory, sooner or later, goes to the one who never gives up. Or they die. Either way, the fought for what they believed in. Now if you can figure a way to pursuade those who say they won't vote to vote without calling them traitors, you might get more success.

She is good at name calling and labeling, Ill give her that.
Posted by: Elric66 | July 14, 2008 at 01:54 PM
And you're good at lying, Elric.
Bob, What the fuck are you telling me that shit for? I'm not the one who is sitting on my hands on election day. Have you been in a cave the past few weeks? Are you that fucking oblivious?
Tell that shit to Elric. He's the one who is going to let Obama win.
I'm so sick of you blowhard assholes.

Still didnt answer a simple question. No surprise :-)
