    Question Muslim President Obama

    New Yorker front cover has Muslim President Obama in Whitehouse with Gun-toting radical wife! Osama bin Laden on wall and U.S. Flag burning in fireplace.

    Any comments?

    Who reads the New Yorker? I had this attached picture for a while. Don't you dare distribute it...it's copyrighted. It's worth a thousand words but what is it saying and how did it ever reach this point.

    Hi,

    That sort of stuff is more "British" than "American" I think............ we have a number of publications that do that sort of thing from time to time (or all the time in the case of Private Eye).

    It sells copies and generates publicity............. and hopefully new subscribers? That is magazine marketing, and has been for years.

    Here is what one of the British "quality newspapers" had to say about it:

    It sort of puts me in mind of that (in)famous National Lampoon cover of years ago:

    "Buy this magazine or we will shoot this dog"

    Well, at least it was an S&W .357 magnum, not some foreign crap?

    Product Description
    A driving force behind the social revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, Hoffman inspired a generation to challenge the status quo. Meant as a practical guide for the aspiring hippie
    The underlined part is likely why they were arrested in an effort to stop the spreading of nonsense hippy ideals which are poisoning the country.
