Obama wanna cracker?

Oh, wait...

Be prepared of 4 to 8 years of CAIR influence in the White House. We're going to see much more of this in the future.

Well, today he PARROTS, tomorrow he DENIES and the following day he CONDEMNS......if you do not like his position on a certain thing, fear not, it will change to one you will like in a day or two....

I think Rush already called this out on his show today. LOL

Ooh, they just love that word, "inflammatory", don't they? Anything to get their followers to seethe.

What's the complaint? BHO usually hearts everything Socialist and CAIR is very Socialist!

Obama. The candidate of perpetual outrage.

Birds of a feather...

Obama: "I am not a Muslim! Not that there's anything wrong with that..."

Doesn't anyone in the country understand satire anymore?

Political cartoons and lampooning in America are as old as the republic itself. It's exactly what America is about. We forever reserve the right to call BS on our governmental leaders.

obama skin is so thin you can read the new york slime through it.

if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen, obama will not be able to stand the heat of a sun porch in december.

"Unfortunately, the New Yorkers front cover cartoon failed to achieve its stated goal of exposing and lampooning right-wing caricatures of the Obamas. These inflammatory images and spurious associations will only serve to reinforce the racism and anti-Muslim stereotypes that the magazine says it is out to challenge. Thus, the New Yorker perpetraitors must convert to Islam, or pay the jizya tax, or OFF With Their Heads!"

Good Lord, he should get a life.

When your statements match the statements that terrorists and their apologists make you should reconsider where your real sentiments lie.

I wonder if Senator Obama will take a deep breath and reconsider his statements on this matter?

Let's hope he does.

Not suprising at all

Gotta love The New Yorker squirming right now.

Once again, the 1st amendment only applies to ___________. I can't remember who is whining this time.

The funny part is, I don't think Obama is a Muslim (or a Christian, for that matter). But the more he whines about things like this cartoon, the more credence the stories have for average people. He definitely looks like he's hiding something, even if he isn't. At the same time, he's obviously a Muslim sympathizer, what with his relatives and all. Yet he does not understand that the American people are deeply suspicious (to put it politely) of Muslims and Muslim influence in the U.S. He can't pass himself off as a "regular American" and he's so arrogant he doesn't understand why that's a problem.

To all the flesh-eating progressives

So, here comes an article (and, oh my gosh, a satirical cover) about the right and their effort to paint Obama as being some sort of Muslim Manchurian Candidate

This article is getting WORLD WIDE COVERAGE. Every article I have read about the New Yorker magazine mentions the CONTENT of the article and the REASON for the satirical artwork.

So, what do you humorless, PC obsessed progressives do. YOU BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU. All over the blogs and comment sections of websites, you are doing your best to make yourselves look like a bunch of mindless hicks.

Today you have the LARGEST worldwide coverage that I’ve seen yet that deals with the Rush Limpbaugh tactics of organized chaos, the religious rights paranoid fear of a middle eastern name, the corporate hold on certain media outlets, and you can’t even take one moment of your selfish lives to show a united front.

I Jan. 2007, the cover of the New Yorker had a satirical drawing of Bush as Nero, fiddling as the country burned. Where was the outrage then? Of course there wasn’t any.

Yep, and your crowning glory will be the DNC convention in Aug. in Denver, when the remaining zombies in your party finish your self-loathing souls off, while you try to re-create your last failed attempts of getting a little face time on national tv.

Front Page has a very informative interview Abul Kasem.

FP: Is Islamic cannibalism theologically rooted?

Kasem: Absolutely. The earliest example of Islamic cannibalism, after all, is found in the Qur’an itself -- in verses 9:108-110. These verses refer to the gutting of a rival mosque on the instruction of Muhammad, when he was returning after his expedition to Tabuk, a resourceful town in the Syrian-Byzantine territory. This Islamic incursion story goes like this:

Proceeding further from Tabuk on his way to Medina, Muhammad halted at Dhu Awan at Quba (about 4 kms. from Medina), an hour’s journey from Medina. There, an opposition Muslim group had built a mosque. Previously, while Muhammad was making preparations for the march to Tabuk, this group of Muslims approached him and said, “O Messenger of God, we have built a mosque for the sick and needy and for rainy and cold nights, and we would like you to visit us and pray for us”(The History of al Tabari, vol.ix, p.61). Busy with his preparations for Tabuk expedition, Muhammad excused himself from visiting this newly-built mosque, but assured the dissident group that he would call on their mosque while returning to Medina (from Tabuk).

On his return journey from Tabuk and halting at Dhu Awan, Muhammad accused builders of this mosque of being unjust. Without any warning, he sent a band of jihadists to burn and destroy the freshly constructed mosque. He said to his band of hooligans, “Go to this mosque whose owners are unjust people and destroy and burn it” (ibid, p.61). His band of raging arsonists stealthily entered the bustling mosque and set fire to it when it was filled with people assembled for the evening prayer. The worshippers dispersed in utter terror. Allah promptly sent down verse 9:107, 110, justifying the destruction of opposition mosques. To further validate his gutting of this mosque, Muhammad concocted the story that he suspected that the builders of the ‘Mosque of Dissent’ were planning to assassinate him.

Long interview read the whole thing.

How could this be happening?! Are we that stupid that we'd actually elect a man whose name is Barak Hussein Obama just 7 years after 9/11? I feel weak in the knees and sick to my stomach.

If BHO would have just laughed at it, this would be a non-issue and over in two seconds.

Everything is offensive, unless it parrots the leftist worldview.

Which happens to include the notion that "everything is offensive".

Agree. See my #31 above.

I have to say (and celebrate), that of the three talks today, Dubya, McCain, and Obambi, McCain did the best job. McCain's new campaign team seems to be on the mark.

Bambi, just ain't ready for prime time. Once the electorate actually sees and hears him, and McCain, I think things will be OK.

In the crazy lens of politics, his complaint here looks very nearly like a confession that he is a Muslim.

What the Sam Hill is a "Muslim American", anyway? I've never heard of a Christian-American, or a Hindu-American before.

Someone needs to update the PC book...it's getting harder and harder to keep up.

“You know, there are wonderful Muslim Americans all across the country who are doing wonderful things,”

Because they are doing them in the name of islam? Or because they are just decent people (...and therefore apostates). For an extra 10 points Barry, name these "wonderful things" you speak of.

Yeppers.

The problem I have with this is that the MSM will give both Obama and CAIR a pass on this.... again.

I could hope for the better, but that would be seriously discounting Obama's and the MSM's Wilsonian progressivism.

PS: there's a great story on Obama's Messianism over at City Journal.

The danger of Obama’s charismatic healer-redeemer fable lies in the hubris it encourages, the belief that gifted politicians can engender a selfless communitarian solidarity. Such a renovation of our national life would require not only a change in constitutional structure—the current system having been geared to conflict by the Founders, who believed that the clash of private interests helps preserve liberty—but also a change in human nature. Obama’s conviction that it is possible to create a beautiful politics, one in which Americans will selflessly pursue a shared vision of the common good, recalls the belief that Dostoyevsky attributed to the nineteenth-century Russian revolutionists: that, come the revolution, “all men will become righteous in one instant.” The perfection would begin.

Canada is full of "Muslim Canadians". Like on the TV hit "Little Mosque on the Prairie". We don't have any Christian or Jewish Canadians as far as I can tell. We do have Afro-Canadians, although a lot of them seem to have West Indian accents. It's very confusing up here in the Great WHITE North.

Obama's a Genius! A pure genius, I tell you!

OK... let me see if I have this straight...

In order to dispel rumors he is a Muslim, or was a Muslim, or thinks like a Muslim, Obama decides to act like a thin-skinned cartoon-enraged Muslim, and then follow the lead of a Muslim Brotherhood front group?

/brilliant!

re: #53 winston06

Is Hussein an Islamic/Arabic name?

An early Muslim follower of Mohammad was named Hussein.

It's fairly popular among Mohammedans (see: "Saddam Hussein"), but not as much as Mo's name.

Seething and more seething-- looks like the "nut" don't fall far from the tree. Next thing we know he'll be leading a flag burning, car burning, rampage with Bill Ayers by his side, and Louis Farakhan inciting the crowds. (someone needs to do over the cartoon from the NYorker with a burning fuse coming out of the side of his Islamic headdress....)(But he's not a Muslim, I tell you. He's not!)

Wolf in sheep's clothing right in our midst.

Dare I release this on an unsuspecting world?

I know I am really late to this thread but what is Obama smoking? Insulting to Muslims?What exactly would be considered insulting?Is it the picture of Osama Bin Laden on the wall? The Muslim robes? I personally thought it was insulting to alleged "right wingers". You know those of us who"cling to our guns, and bibles."Could this man be any more clueless?

This evening on PBS News Hour, Obama was asked how he deals with the unfair charges that he was raised a Muslim and that he is flip-flopping on the issues. He only responded to the second point, and the interviewer failed to pursue Obama's failure to respond to the first point regarding his Muslim upbringing.

Obama flat-out is a muslim, no matter how many times he, his campaign staff, or his MSM flacks repeat the meme that he has always had Jesus in his heart (or something akin to that).

Barack and Michelle Obama.... as Muslim, militant, pro-terrorist, and anti-American.

And they took offense. ---- Must have hit too close to home. THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. (makes me wanna puke, too).

Not only that but the wonderful linguistic flavours like francophones, and anglophones and yes, even alophones.

/So what do you call a Hungarian speaker - a hungophone?

A cartoon does not really count unless CAIR complains. If they fail to complain, the cartoon will henceforth be referred to as an "illustration".

Please do not soil the name of our new Marxist-Muslim Prophet, Barack HUSSEIN Obama (PBUH)(SAW)(SWT) by allowing it past your infidel, apostate, crusader, traitor, lips!

I now have a standard response when approached by an Obama supporter:

"I do not believe in Obama. He is not the Messiah."

They generally just stare at me, and have nothing more to say.

What? B Hussein and his Wahhabi enablers want us Americans to go out and riot in the streets, set a few McDonald's on fire and kill each other in the resulting stampedes?

Increasingly I think that Obama is being funded in his campaign by the Saudi's because what he wants and says is *exactly* what they want and say ... almost like he's being told what to think and say in exchange for how many million oil dollars contributed to buy an American Pressident. And B. Hussein really Really REALLY does't want anyone looking too closely at where his funding is coming from now, does he.

re: #74 heretic

Yep, that's about it all right.

Ummm....Obama knows that The New Yorker is on his side, right?

I mean, they were making fun of his enemies...he's smart enough to realize that, isn't he?

Then again...

The cover of the magazine, which hit newsstands Monday, depicts Obama in traditional Muslim clothing — sandals, robe and turban — while his wife, Michelle, has an assault rifle slung over one shoulder and is dressed in camouflage and combat boots with her hair in an Afro. A flag burns in a fireplace behind them as they bump fists, and a portrait of Osama bin Laden hangs above the mantel. (emphasis added)

It's not just any old flag -- it's an American flag. But of course the writer has to cover that up, because the Left knows it's taboo. People might actually care to wonder why Obama would be connected to burning a U.S. flag.

Still waiting for CAIR to condemn the Taliban street executions as reinforcing negative Muslim stereotypes.

By the same token, what the hell is an African American? This uses the same flawed logic in its concept. They are not from Africa but they are Americans. Should whites call themselves British Americans or German Americans or possibly even European Americans?

Folks we are ALL AMERICANS (those of us that are legally here) and this "labeling" must stop or we will never get past the racial and religious separation they incite. The sooner we become AMERICANS the better off we all will be. We are not separate - we are equal or we are nothing.

I didn't say that I cared, mind you.

So are we going to see Progressive types rioting in the streets and burning the offices of The New Yorker over the fact that they published a blasphemous image of Obama or would that be too much work on their part?

Well, what would you expect?

re: #34 NoSubmission

Obama is rapidly overtaking the Goracle as the most pompous, self-important ass in the Democrat Party. If he can't laugh at himself, at the New Yorker cartoon, and at the absurdities in the political world, he lacks the temperament and maturity for high office.

I see now. Cartoons about Muslims as terrorists and the like is inflammatory but Muslims flying airplanes into buildings full of people, blowing themselves up in subways, trains and buses, beheading people left and right, using children as human shields and suicide bombers, stoning women to death, killing their offspring and relatives for "honor", oppressing and degrading non-Muslims in Muslim lands, marrying pre-pubescent girls off to older men against their will, subjugating women in every way imaginable and working to impose Islam on all people isn't inflammatory? Okay! Got it!

Great observation!

Speaking ill of the Royal Governor of New York in his newspaper got John Peter Zenger jailed, and his newspapers confiscated and burned in the streets of Manhattan by the Public Hangman. He also was put on trial for seditious libel of the Crown. Jury nullification freed him.

Looks like Barack Obama and American Muslims are headed down the same path as their Canadian brethren, towards suppression of free speech as "offensive" to Muslims. I'm waiting for Obama to propose the creation of American Human Rights Commissions with powers to prosecute and jail those who offend through speech.

Muslim victimhood has long been part of the Lightworker's playbook. On the stump during his run for the Senate one of his applause lines (even to Jewish groups) was that he will put a stop to Muslims being rounded up by the government in the middle of the night (I think he has seen one too many Resse Witherspoon movies). If I am not mistaken this survived his long hard years when he used to be a Senator and he even made that claim in ad during the primaries in Texas.

One of the Lefties at my job made the same comment and then said he would move to Canada if McCain wins. Remember: people have to keep their word!re: #10 jaunte

re: #78 FlakMusic
Oh, but don't you understand - that is a "cultural" misunderstanding! We have to be "sensitive".

Obama now says The New Yorker cover is offensive to Muslim Americans.

Why would Americans who happen to be Muslims be offended?

The New Yorker cover actually pokes satire at two anti-American, anti white, black liberation theology, marxist charlatans

And those are their good points.

Linked by Glenn Harlan Reynolds a/k/a the Instapundit.

That it is insulting to Muslims sounds like a defensive reflex response as well as a deflection.
Not much thought or consideration put into it either.
