The kind who think they would change their name if it was Hussein. Oh, they just posted sometime before you. And this kind :

Small Church's Obama Sign Causes Big Controversy - Greenville News Story - WYFF Greenville

I find it really hard to believe you haven't heard of right wingers who believe Obama is a Muslim.

Not me....I found it as offensive as the portrayal of Bush as the new Saddam on the cover of Maclean's.

I find it interesting that anyone would think The New Yorker or its publisher Condé Nast has a "Conservative" agenda.

What is ironic is seeing some who found the portrayal of George Bush as Saddam okay thinking this is more offensive or some kind of underhanded "right wing" conspiracy.

Vouge is such a liberal publication where women are represented as they are and not an idealism

Not to mention the idiots who got onto him for "tapping fists". WTF?

That might explain why I keep hearing a Middle Eastern-flavored version of "Secret Agent Man" and the 007 theme in the background whenever I watch Obama.

Brilliant!!

By the way, didn't Bin Laden and Zawahiri fist-bump in the last video they released? Hmmmmmmmm...............

none that I know.

But I bet you look hard enough you can find some "small church" that believes anything.....

But lets not attribute that to the whole conservative movement. That would be wrong/.

Satire is meant to poke fun based on an idea so absurd that everyone knows it is a joke. The fact that people took offense is a little ridiculous. Unless they don't find the idea so absurd and therefore didn't get that it was a joke.

You're being intentionally dishonest. For F's sake FOX News got caught lying about the school he went to and you're going to tell me it's not used by the right wing? I got a bridge for you.

I think you're being dishonest by saying the right hasn't capitalized on the false smears that Obama is a Muslim. Specially when prominent right wing organizations & commentators are on the front lines of the smears.

Cool. then its fair game to say that the left has called troops murderers liars and rapists.

That they are stupid, and uneducated.

Torturers, etc.

I mean the connection you want to make that the "Right wing" is behind this means that the "left wing" is behind all the troop bashing from the lunatic fringe of the left.

Stick that in your "dishonesty" pipe and smoke it.
