What The ??

Black teen pregnancies? A ‘crisis’ in black America.
White teen pregnancies? A ‘blessed event.’

If you grow up in Hawaii you’re ‘exotic.’
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential ‘American story.’

Similarly, if you name your kid Barack you’re ‘unpatriotic.’
Name your kids Trig and Track, you’re ‘colorful.’

If you’re a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you’re ‘reckless.’
A Republican who doesn’t fully vet is a ‘maverick.’

The editor should be fired. Anyone of African-American descent working for them should resign. I’m so damn pissed by this I can’t even really comment. What pisses me off even more is that these assholes tried to defend it. Here’s what they said

“…the magazine said the cover “combines a number of fantastical images about the Obamas and shows them for the obvious distortions they are.”

“The burning flag, the nationalist-radical and Islamic outfits, the fist-bump, the portrait on the wall? All of them echo one attack or another. Satire is part of what we do, and it is meant to bring things out into the open, to hold up a mirror to prejudice, the hateful, and the absurd. And that’s the spirit of this cover,” the New Yorker statement said.”

I say bullshit. there is a political agenda behind this. It’s inflammatory, and racist at best. What is behind Michelle Obama having an afro? An AK-47? Fatigues? Also, if you read the article it isn’t a positive one at all. Which of course is the writer’s right. But you cannot use the excuse that the cover is “lampooning” all the lies about the Obama’s to show how absurd they are if the article isn’t positive. Doesn’t make any sense. That’s not how satire works. All this cover will do is re-inforce the Republican lies being spread about Obama “hating America”, being muslim, etc.

If this cover disgusts you, please write, call, and or email the New Yorker HERE and let them know how chicken shit this is.

Viral…….. According to Wikipedia:

Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet.^[1] Viral marketing is a marketing phenomenon that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a marketing message voluntarily.^[2] Viral promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, ebooks, brandable software, images, or even text messages. The basic form of viral marketing is not infinitely sustainable.

According to Yahoo News, “Viral” attacks on Obama’s Patriotism is headline news, front page even. Funny thing is, I’m on the net ALL DAY. I haven’t seen any indication of “viral” attacks on Obama’s patriotism. What I have seen are “viral” attacks on McCain. Multiple video’s circulating showing McCain “Flip-Flopping”, contradicting himself, and being outright unaware of what he speaks. Truly viral stuff, different video, audio, articles circulating daily.

Strangely though, I found no mention of ANY of that on Yahoo news, CNN, or any other major internet news source yet. But this so called, invisible “viral” attack on Obama makes the headlines? It seems to me that Yahoo News must be part of the “viral” campaign against Obama. Nowhere on Yahoo have you seen any mention of McCain’s “Spiritual Guide” Pastor John Hagee, or his other “Spiritual Guide” Rev. Rod Parsley and their outrageous views. But for 2 months straight, Rev. Wright was headline news.

The propaganda machine is already in full effect….Don’t believe the hype.

Alzheimer’s is a degenerative and terminal disease for which there is currently no known cure. In its most common form, it occurs in people over 65 years old although a less-prevalent early-onset form also exists. The disease can begin many years before it is eventually diagnosed. In its early stages, short-term memory loss is the most common symptom, often initially thought to be caused by aging or stress by the sufferer. Later symptoms include confusion, anger, mood swings, language breakdown, long-term memory loss, and the general withdrawal of the sufferer as his or her senses decline.

We’ve already seen his confusion, anger and mood swings. Now there is video proof of his memory loss. All aboard…….”The Straight Talk Express”

Now either he has alzheimer’s, or is too old to understand the concept of the video camera and how everything he says can be replayed at a later time. Either way, he’s too damn old to be President.

You may have heard of Rev. John Hagee, the McCain supporter who said God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its homosexual “sins.” Well now meet Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam. According to David Corn of Mother Jones, Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a “false religion.” In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis.

John McCain actively sought and received Parsley’s endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley “a spiritual guide,” and he hasn’t said whether he shares Parsley’s vicious anti-Islam views. That’s because the mainstream media refuses to ask.

After discussing Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Wright, for the last 2 months, with it being the lead story on every show all day long on Fox News Channel and CNN for weeks, replaying video of his controversial remarks over and over ad nauseum, taking the first 10-15 minutes of the most recent Democratic debate to discuss Rev. Wright, wouldn’t you think they would spend 5 minutes on McCain’s two controversial “Spiritual Advisors”?

Since the media won’t question McCain about his deeply bigoted pastor, it’s up to you to call attention to this issue. Make McCain’s pastor problem a major story by forwarding these videos to your family, friends, and colleagues.
