OK,

This is supposed to be a parody of Right Wing views of Obama, but I'm guessing it's making Obama nervous because it is hitting closer to the truth.

I rarely go dumpster diving, so I didn't see it.

well, not really, I don't think.  this happens on occasion.  the DUmpster thread is about the DUmmie reaction to the story.  another thread can, and should, exist elsewhere in the forums about the story itself.   I know the lines can get blurred at times.

heh.  hey, barry!  vindictive much?

New Yorker's plane snub over Obama 'terrorist' cartoon

The New Yorker's Washington correspondent has been denied a press place on Barack Obama's tour of the Middle East and Europe after the magazine depicted the presidential candidate as a terrorist on its cover.

The Obama camp said there was not enough room on the aircraft but the move is being seen as a snub to the magazine.

Obama's aides were angered last week by the cartoon, which showed the presidential candidate and his wife, Michelle, in a "terrorist" fist-bumping gesture. The magazine said it was intended as a satire of right-wing rumours against Obama.

"The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create," the Obama team said. "But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."

The article's author, Ryan Lizza, would have expected to secure one of the 40 press places on Obama's tour this week but was told no space was available.
