    A lot of people say this goes too far. I enjoyed it though. What did you think?

    I laughed my A$$ off. This should get the webwar Obama folks in a tizzy for sure. I hear radical muslims get pretty upset over cartoons yannow, lol.

    You sure are pressing buttons Peter......" The muslim guy" on the vote thread? That'll get " Pat " all twisted up searching Move-On for a reply to post here.

    Counterpoint: I also enjoyed and laughed at many a W cartoon, and feel McCain is far from more of the same, again per your vote thread.

    What do you think they are trying to say LOL Have to admit that it is funny but rather over the top at the same time. I wonder if he will take leagal action against them for it?

    If Larry Flynt can post a full page on Jerry Falwell having sex with his mother in an outhouse, I think this is fairly safe with the 1st Amendment.

    Google " Hustler Falwell ad " for more info if that did not cross to your side of the pond.

    Mixed feelings actually. Creative and funny? Yes.

    Dragging the level of the whole election down further into the mud? Perhaps.

    I mean what's next? A cartoon of McCain wearing Depends, finger poised for the "red button" while the Beach Boys sing Bomb Iran?

    More like a cartoon with a sack of 'contributions' with the name Keating on it in one hand and campaign finance reform bill on the other ;)

    Lawsuit? Nah. He'll probably issue some sort of Fatwā against the New Yorker, like they did when Salman Rushdie published his book.

    You all know what a joke I think Obama is but I have a problem with that cover. It takes attention away from the real issues such as Obama's racial comments, his associations with Wright, Ayres, etc, his Anti-American statements, his Socialist agenda and the overall scam he is running on unexpecting, uninformed Americans.

    He will release Jihadi Hulk

    Trust me, if Osama bin Obama is elected, next Christmas this will be the scene in every mall across the U S of A:

    and lets face it, that fatwa was the best thing to happen to Salman's book sales. Genius marketing...if you want to sell a lot of books, piss a religious group off and if nothing else you get the sales from the book burnings. I would go through three Jihads if I could hide away with his wife:

    I could see that as a Mad Magazine cover. Alfred probably would have be in the likeness of Bin Laden in the picture frame.

    La de da, La de da... My lovely wife (the infamous Catholic Pope here) says. She's simply for lower taxes and likes the idea of drilling for oil in TEXAS.

    Ah, the old lower taxes for the middle class myth huh? I have to deal with that with my union brainwashed Detroit parents and family. It's painful watching Michigan slowly slide into the Detroit river right off the map of the USA, lol.

    I think it's time for an Obama / McCain hotsauce.....I did it with Gore/W in 99 and Gore WON !!!!!!
