Some people are just too gullible and will believe anything you tell them, others just take things too seriously. Both points were perfectly illustrated by our reactions to the cover don't you think? ;-) It’s all to prove a point folks!

I think the point is not that it's satire (we all know it's satire), but even satire has a line that can be crossed. Using satire does not give one a moral excuse to publish anything that would otherwise be deemed out of line. Another mock cover from the Nation.

Here’s hoping Senator Obama “pulls off his scheme.”

And… I think us libs are much better at taking a joke than you cons. But then, that’s just me.
