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? ;-)

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.

@James : You thought the New Yorker cover was offensive to conservatives? Very interesting!

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.

Even from YOUR OWN MAGAZINES! I thought the New Yorker cover was more offensive to conservatives than liberals, because it gave Barrack Hussein Obama credit for pulling off his scheme.
