THE NEW YORKER IS FULL IS S%&IT
There is no headline on the cover of art. The flap on the cover says the following: "How Obama became a pol. Ryan Lizza on the candidate's first campaigns - and how Chicago's byzantine politics shaped him"
And the headline on the inside says: "Making It: How Chicago shaped Obama" by Ryan Lizza.
That's it. No article deals with the issue of fear, and the headline doesn't match it at all.
The New Yorker is saying one thing and is doing another.
And frankly, they missed an opportunity.
The real culprits are the people the New Yorker should have been ripping to shreds: the rhetorical bullies, mostly on right wing conservative and television, that have been the chief merchants in selling this mess to the American people.
With their twisted logic, adherence to removing any context, and just flat out lying, they have been the driving force behind the smearing of Obama.
I've heard these rhetorical thugs call Michelle Obama "militant," and offer nothing to back it up, hoping folks will envision Angela Davis and the Black Panthers when they think of Michelle.
You've had right wing windbags continue to speculate about Obama being Muslim, even though the evidence is against that.
From day one these nuts have tried to scare the hell out of America, whether it was trying to make Obama accept every word from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright; assert that neither Obama is a true American; all in an effort to make them both ungrateful to what America "gave" them.
Save your passion and anger for those fools, not a magazine that was trying to push the envelope to show the fear in which they choose to instill in the minds of the uneducated and easily impressionable. Unfortunately, the New Yorker failed.
Shame on them, but also shame on the fear mongerers, and they should be called out by name, no matter what network they work for, no matter what time of day their radio shows come on, and no matter which magazine, newspaper or syndicate they write for.
AND WHERE IS HILLARY TO CONDEMN THIS GARBAGE? SINCE NEW YORK IS SUPPOSE TO BE HER STATE, AND SHE WANTS OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS TO HELP HER WITH HER DEBT?
READ INSIDE THE NEW YORKER HERE AND SEE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COVER
