SilverNRed Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 11th Commandment: Do not criticize the Messiah! It's not criticism, though. It's a satirical cover meant to mock all the criticism that the racist conservatives are (supposedly) lobbing at Obama. Of course, satire of a phenomenon doesn't really work when the satire itself is about 100x more high profile than the phenomenon. Side note: Why is the artwork so crappy?

You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Flag City, USA My neighbors kid (13 years old) said her parents won't vote for Obama because "his religion teaches black people to hate white people." Gee, I wonder where they'd get that idea?"

Max Fischer Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Rev. Wright? I see Obama goes to church and he's a muslim. What a flip-flopper. What did you think of the article? Even when told flat out that rumors weren't true they continue to believe. A fact checking couldn't hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when told flat out that rumors weren't true they continue to believe. A fact checking couldn't hurt You didn't say anything about him being a muslim who goes to church. You said his religion teaches black people to hate white people. Rev. Wright was a race-baiting loon and Obama looked up to him for 20 years (right up to the point where Wright was bad politics; also when it became clear Obama could care less about whatever had been coming out of his mentor's mouth for two decades).

pBills Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I just can't believe that people do not this to be disgusting. I know, damn Libs can't take a joke. Whatever. I just think that is in some serious poor taste. Maybe the next one should be making fun of McCain.... maybe carrying around the Hanoi Hilton pictures, using them as a show and tell?

(Great idea with the Hanoi Hilton pictures though, since people totally use McCain's time as a PoW to attack him ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
