Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

New Yorker cover proves liberals can’t take a joke

The New Yorker is a well-known notorious liberal rag.  Many of you are aware of their recent magazine cover that attempts to satirize us rubes on the right by drawing caricatures of Barry O and his moonbatty old lady in a manner that plays on supposed right-created stereotypes: he’s a Muslim, Osama bin Laden’s picture in the Oval Office, the American flag being burned in the fireplace, etc.

Well, those of us on the right got the joke, and we were the butt of said joke.  Unlike followers of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage, we didn’t riot or loot or threaten bodily harm (or worse) on the artist or his family, friends, vehicles, pets, etc.  However, a similar kind of reaction has come in response to the cover…but it’s come from the left!

You would think the left would have “Hardee har-harred” at this elitist anti-right display.  But no.  See, the humor-impaired legion of the left thinks that such satire actually reinforces these views that we supposedly have about the Chosen Ones, and that come election time, that cover will be the driving factor at keeping us away from pulling the Obamaliar’s lever.

You want to know how absurd this is?  Even the editors at the LA Times and Salon are telling the left that, in the immortal words of Foghorn Leghorn, “It’s a joke, son, ya missed it!”  How hilarious that the alleged refined, nuanced intellectuals on the left made themselves, instead of us righties, the butt of the joke!  :lol:

  3. I think the fervor created by the New Yorker’s “botched joke” is yet another highlight of why an Obama presidency would be disastrous. How can we possibly survive as a free society if any and every lampoon of the President is met with this sort of thin-skinned reaction? Beyond the irony of can-dish-it-out-but-can’t-spoon-it-up, I have seen several lefty comments suggesting that we must alter the First Amendment so we don’t have to endure such blasphemy against their messiah. Add to that the liberal push for such nonsense as the “Fairness Doctrine” which is blatantly geared against fairness and you have the makings of a socialist regime that will not tolerate alternate opinions and might not be inclined to relinquish power.

  4. Well I’m glad their little bait back fired!
    It’s amusing to watch lefties reveal their phony and feigned righteousness on display!

    Yup I’ll never forget this!

  5. What will Leno do if Osama is elected? For almost 8 years he’s ridiculed Bush for being ignorant and the previous 8 years did the same to Bubba for foolin’ around with ugly women and now he can’t make fun of BHO? Will he be able to mention BHO’s ears, color, religion, questionable friends, or even which recreational drug (or professional) he preferred?

  7. I have to say you got me at “‘Liberalism: Why think when you can ‘feel’?’” …so I read your blog and learned a thing or two!

    I am somewhat of a disgruntled liberal taken aback by the radical left who seem to be no better than those they view with such revulsion. As I have gotten older I have found that my beliefs have EVOLVED to become supplementary TO that of being a realist, amid my idealist bleeding heart. So when I look at World Politics and I see the World differently and though I am an Idealist at heart – my mind screams realist and it declares: one must see things as they truly are …

    “The pessimist complains about the wind; The optimist expects it to change; The realist adjusts the sails” — William Arthur Ward

    Amen…

    Anyway, I am very new at this whole blogging thing and at the time being I am trying to adjust my bearings and get into the swing of it.

    Got ya in my bookmarks marked BLOGS
