Many find this cover of The New Yorker offensive:
(Note: This isn’t the original. I doctored it up a bunch to try and make it less offensive.)
I do too. I don’t like to think about a potential United States President as having a burning flag in their fire place, even if its meant in jest. My guess is that enough wheels will squeak that The New Yorker will reconsider its actions.
I think that this cover is apalling and shows how biggoted Americans can be. I have seen the cover without it being doctored up and may I say that who ever drew this cover is the biggest bigot on the face of the earth. Obama may have a background in Islam but that does not make him a fan of Osaam Bin Laden.
Hi Amanda, thanks for commenting. I completely agree. I think its a pity that a lot of people are saying that the offended lack a sense of irony.
it think it was only found to be offendive to Obama supporters. If and when someone comes out with a cartoon of McCain, the same people that found the New Yorker cartoon offendive will find it amusing. People need to understand that politicans have a target painted on therir back and they are fair game for cartoonist and reporters.
This cover and many other items that have been out htier just shows how mean tgis country is. American is not ready for any trpe of change becasue American are scaried. This cover just shows how afarid they are of any type of chnage, I don’t care if this man was white, black, purple or orange he has alot of good ideas and he is willing to put many things on the line for this country.
