TASTELESS AND OFFENSIVEThe New Yorker unveiled this weeks offensive cover which portrays Michelle Obama with a rifle, and Barack wearing a turban. In the back, there is a picture of the American flag burning in the fireplace. If you look a bit closer you can see a picture of Bin Laden hanging on the wall.
This caricature is outlandish. The artist, Barry Blitt's, is equating Barack Obama with terrorism. He insinuates that Barack has close ties (maybe even a friendship) with Osama Bin Laden. He suggest that Obama be elected into the White House as President and turn against America.
In Blitt's defense, he claims that this is a satire and should not be taken seriously.
Although some people will not take it seriously, many uneducated voters will take the picture literally! They will look at it and automatically assume that Obama is a terrorist.
This will do nothing but harm Obama by lessening his votes.
This issue should have never hit the newsstands.
