127. That *was* the white satire.
Edited on Tue Jul-15-08 01:32 PM by Richardo
All over this country, people are talking about this cover. The McCain campaign has disclaimed it. Nearly every RW media outlet has been compelled to disclaim its accuracy, and debunk the very talking points they've used until now: Barack as Muslim, terrorist, traitor - they've all been rendered moot AND THE RW HAS HAD TO ADMIT IT.

For its part, the Obama campaign issued one statement yesterday, noting its tastelessness and offensiveness, and has moved on. Obama himself is spending the day laying out his plans to get out of Iraq. There's a guy with a sense of perspective.

And then there's the calm, tranquil, intellectual liberal sanctuary that is DU: two days (so far) of hysterical foamers wailing on and on with no end in sight. Reminder: There are two wars on, banks are failing, inflation is rearing its ugly head, civil liberties are under attack, and an election to be won.

I recommend you take a cue from our candidate - note your displeasure and move on.
