p>Ferraro, unwittingly stumbled over the Democrat's pecking order of aggrieved groups, in their deck of politically correct playing cards. A black inexperienced king still trumps the white entitled queen. Those clever sophisticates at the New Yorker, with their smug humor, aimed at us conservative rubes, once again, pulled at the scab on the life of the Obama's, that has many on the left in a state of panic. Now, if only we had a candidate capable of taking advantage of all these gifts the left has handed him. br> -- A. DiPentima /p>

I found the cover to be amusing myself. And while I could immediately recognize that they were attempting to satire the supposedly 'right-wing' disinformation campaign against Obama, they surely had to realize just how close some of their depictions came to the real deal. Mr. Neumayr outlines several of these pretty well in his article and I will not reiterate those points.

But I will say this: The Obama campaign has overreacted to any criticism. They will continue to do so throughout this campaign, and we can only hope that their overreactions will be seen for what they are, which is a diversionary tactic. If the New Yorker is truly left-wing, I'm willing to bet that they created this cover just so they could create some more diversion and faux-controversy to distract all of us from Obama's main theme: Liberalism you don't want.

p>The whole campaign makes me think of Rod Stewart... 'If I listen long enough to you...' br> -- Charles Campbell br> Austin, Texas /p>

Leftist/liberal pubs like the New Yorker have reached that same level of arrogance as Obama and his handlers: They assumed that everyone would immediately see the satire.

This is yet another example of how the lust of the left and their current standard bearer to be in power seems to make them not just more ignorant, but stupid.

p>Thing is, there's a cure for ignorance. br> --
