I'm not commenting on that New Yorker cover anymore.
It won't help.
It won't stop the presses.
It will only give food to the anti-Obama bigots.
I won't buy the magazine.
I don't subscribe to it, but my Mother-in-law does.

I've written a letter to the Editor,
as well as to the publisher.

I'm done.

I'm moving on.

When the media starts talking about it tomorrow,
I will turn off my television.

Thank you.

3. I'm guessing you haven't bought many issues in the past
if this upsets you so.

8. What do I want?
Nothing, really. Just commenting on the dada-ist absurdity of replying to a post to say you're not going to reply.

With many of the familiar names feeding at the trough here at DU tonight for damn sure.

But hey, it's all constructive—right? :crazy:

10. Yeah. They are loving it.
That's why I'm moving on.
Leaving them in the dust,
where they belong. :)

11. Nobody has criticized Obama over this cartoon
we're criticizing idiots who don't recognize it for what it is. And it's a full-time job.

12. And someone has to do it.

13. Don't be daft
this has nothing to do with Hillary. It has to do with people acting like a blasphemy has been committed and refusing to see what this cartoon really is - an attack on the right-wing.

Is it a negative portrayal of Obama? Yes it is. But many here refuse to prod their minds to go any further than that. They simply shut down their thought processes as soon as they get to that point, like a divide by zero error.
