The Power of Images

Talking about satire, I would like to see the front cover of the next edition of the New Yorker with McCain and Cindy in bed, a bottle of viagra on the night stand and his former crippled wife looking on in her wheelchair and crying. PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL? ERRRRRRR NO!!!!!

To Obama supporters - don???t believe these negative comments are coming from a lot of people, some are genuine but the majority are just a few misguided fools posting with different names.

AN EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF WORK THAT SHARENEWS' GROUP PUMA IS WORKING ON! This and more like it is on the website that she constantly promotes.

Clinton is asking for money, not to retire her debt but to add to her 2012 campaign fund. Read below.

Has any of you received an email like this one?

Hillary Clinton Asks To Keep Donor Money for 2012
July 14, 2008
By Jason Horowitz

Hillary Clinton???s campaign is sending out letters to donors asking permission to roll a $2,300 contribution to Clinton???s 2008 general election coffers to her 2012 senate election fund instead of offering a refund.

The letter, read to me by one recipient, includes a photocopy of a handwritten note from Clinton that says, ???Dear friend, your commitment has meant so much to me over the course of my presidential campaign. You were there for me when I needed you the most and I???ll never forget it. I hope you???ll help me continue to fight for the issues and causes we believe in by filling out the enclosed form in support of Friends of Hillary.???

The form says, ???I hereby verify that my 2008 general election contribution may be designated to the 2012 Senate election. I designate the entire amount to the 2012 primary election. However if I have already contributed to the 2012 primary, I designate any amount in excess of $2,300 to the 2012 general election.???

???If we do not hear back from you by August 28 2008 we will automatically refund your contribution.???

This donor, at least, had no intention of signing. ???Of course I???m going to get my money back,??? the donor told me.

From the PUMA site, but I am going to try to find a verifiable site regarding this. I am also going to post this on Obama's website. If this is true I am pissed, how dare she beg for money to clear up her debt but at the same time ask her donors if they will fund her 2012 election campaign. They should be the ones paying off her debt.

Earlier today I contacted hillaryclinton.com about setting up a reoccuring monthly donation, just to help out. But if this is what she is doing then HELL NO! If i hear back from her hq, I will definitely ask about this. Every dime that she gets should go toward her debt instead of asking Obama supporters to pay it off. This is BS!

Comment: um
I would still like to see Obama's birth certificate. Is that so much to ask?
Full disclosure would help me decide. Was his father married to his mother or was
he born to a single mom? Why the need to cover up his birth? Nice to know going forward.

Send him yours first.

And do you want to see McCain's too - since he really isn't a US citizen, he was born in Panama.

Very well put. We live in a fast, visual world. The majority of people do not read the New Yorker or long articles on anything. When the cover is seen as someone passes it in the grocery store it reinforces all the false stories being promoted in every media form. The voting public is not going to open the magazine, read the contents or article and ponder the meaning. At best, the person will be puzzled as to why the liberal magazine is supporting these crazy stories. Those at the New Yorker know the power of the visual as well as you and I. Talk about living in the bubble of your own world.
Thank you for your comments.

This is the perfect place for the Obama haters to vent. Anyone in marketing or professional writing knows the cover was a marketing ploy to sell magazines in this tough economy and it worked. McCain, with his yellow teeth, and forced smile will do nothing to help our economy. We will continue to taunt Iran and become militarily involved with them. And Iraq will never end, the draft will be necessary since they do not have enough soldiers now and many of them have returned many times already. McCain doesn't know whether he's coming or going, the conservative Republicans are pulling him in one direction and the moderate Republicans are pulling him another direction and you can see it on his face. The Roman empire crumbled from within and our country is crumbling from within, McCain does not have the diplomacy or verbal skills to pull us out of our own destruction and help us get coexist and compete with the global market. Environmental issues are huge and that is another McCain weakness, the world's greatest scientists-regardless of politics-agree on the crisis of global warming and a drastically changing ecology that will directly effect our children and their children as natural resources will hardly be available-who will best address the issues of a dying planet-a conservative; they don't believe global warming even exists. Think before you vote for McCain and what it entails and what we're leaving behind for our kids, he will leave them futile wars and increased pollution, global warming, and a horrendous economy.

Bravo to the New Yorker for calling out the Republican attack machine with this satirical cartoon. New Yorker readers ???get it.??? If its humor is too sophisitcated for some idiot who reads USA Today, that???s not the publication???s problem. Exactly what kind of society do you want to live in where every publication is expected to write to the lowest common denominator?
Obama???s response pandered to a) stupid people and b) people whose first instinct is to squelch free speech. His reaction was similar to when he kowtowed to those who said he was unpatriotic for not wearing a flag pin. Just as he should have stood up to those yahoos for creating that ridiculous litmus test of one???s patriotism, he shouldn???t buckle under to those who would attack the New Yorker???s right to satirize the republican???s despicable attempt to paint michelle as some latter-day Angela Davis and Barak as a terrorist sympathizer. It???s like the critics of New Yorker took a page from the republicans who blasted moveon.org for its General Betray-us ad. Or the muhamed cartoon fatwa. What???s wrong with you people??

Hi news-sharer - yes.

McCain's first wife waited for him for 5 years while he was a POW. Upon his return, his wife had been disabled in a horrible accident. She had not wanted to tell him until he got back. Then at some party he meets the much younger, richer beer heiress. He starts up an affair with her the night he meets her. Apparently it was not the first affair he'd had on his disabled wife.

Sounds like a helluva guy - not the kind of guy I'd trust. He likes to get in bed with the rich ones. You know like Haliburton, KBR, the big oil companies and the telecoms (who want to take away your free internet)

If you trust a guy like this - then he's your man. He certainly is not my man.

Hey, you forgot the fact that Obama went to prayers on Fridays at the Mosque with his step-father from age four to age ten, and that the home he lived in during that period was Muslim.

Hey JonJon....You can shake it, bake it, twist it, turn it, hip and hop it. I TOLD YOU months ago. You discounted and smeared millions of American voters. HE WAS A PRACTICING MUSLIM. Is he now? I don't know, but if not, he is apostate. I've not heard of any FATAH's being issued against him. He is considered a savior among most Islamists. This leads to the conclusion, he is still a mohammed in good standing.

Regardless of all the above, he is definitely this....A CROOK and a FRAUD.

NOBAMA!!!

panther12 is doubtless on target when he says the silent majority of morons is alive and well. They were dumb enough to vote for W twice. Now they can be stupid enough to vote for McCain, who is just as much a puppet of Israel as Bush has been. Bush as puppet cut the value of the dollar in half by running up a trillion dollar deficit by cutting taxes and waging the neocon war in Iraq; this gave the dumb silent majority $4 gas at the pump. Now they can elect McCain who'll either facilitate Bush's or Israel's bombing of Iran before McCain takes office. That will give the boobs $10 to $15 gas at the pump, wipe out the stock market, and through the country and the world into depression. Back in '32, uneducated Americans were not so dumb. They actually voted for FDR after Hoover gave them a depression. Somehow, uneducated Americans now seemingly get dumber and more self-destructive in their politics every election cycle. They're simply clueless. So you're right, panther12, the animals, as Mencken used to accurately call them, will again vote against their economic self-interest because they're so racist, stupid, and easily conned, no matter how much they might now dislike Bush. They never learn from their mistakes, these clods.

COME guys lets be matured about this gritty issue.......WE ALL READY EXPECTS GOP GOING TO PAINT BARACK as MUSLIM,BLACK,HINDU,NAME whatever........WE ALL ALREADY KNEW THIS MONTHS ago that what GOP LIMITATIONS BEING HANDICAP......NO BIG FUSS..........after this "NOTHING."..only to instir.....THE FEARS AND LIES

The cover is great. Only thing missing, is his crack pipe on the mantle.

NOBAMA!!!

Obama has written in his books, and many articles in respectable news organizations have all said that Obama's mother and father were married in the U.S. at the time of his birth. But the insistence on seeing a birth certificate still puzzles me. Obama is a married American man. Why do you want to judge him on what the previous generation of his family did? Both his parents were well educated people who were open minded enough to care for each other despite race. Maybe that is too radical a concept for someone who wants to see a birth certificate to be "convinced."

Yeah!! In his book he admits DRUG USE and BLATANT RACISM TOWARDS WHITES!! Yeah read Obama's book. It flat out reads DON'T ELECT THIS GUY! People read his book and act like "OMG are we still on Oprah!?!? Lets call into American Idot and get this guy a record deal. HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!! And shouldn't be!! NUTS!
