Beyond parody

Was sick tomorrow, so I got to let the New Yorker cover fracas marinate a day. For any who think this cover may be some nice, biting satire, look no further! Where some intend parody, Freepers see confirmation.

fortheDeclaration will kick off this little shindig with the following:

But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive.

BUT TRUE!

CounterCounterCulture delves into self-imposed ignorance so far I worry about the poor guy:

You do realize that it is parodying conservatives, right?

Don’t care.

I’m only sorry I didn’t come up with the concept first.

LayoutGuru2 joins a number of other Freepers gleefully noting particular parts of the picture:

What’s unsaid is that the scene on the cover is in The Oval.

Oh, and don't miss the portrait of OBL to the right

princeofdarkness manages to blame the Clintons:

Like Rush as stated, never underestimate the Clintons for their fondness of
smear tactics. Nothing is coincidental as far as they are concerned.

And we end off with Prole, who takes issue with the accuracy of the picture - psyche! He really just wants to rip on Michelle Obama:

I also picture [Michelle Obama] carrying a Tokarev in the small of her back underneath her shirt, and a butterfly knife in her pocket. She is the perfect blend of a Stalinist secret agent and a Black Panther street thug.

Nasty to the core.

Thus we see Freepers attempting to reconcile the Obamas as dumb black people with Obamas as crafty crypto-marxist Muslim sleeper agents.

Their secret: hate the Obamas hard enough, and anything becomes possible.
