A lot of people have been calling this tasteless and others call it satire. Which do you see it as? Now, I'm liberal and I like Obama. Yet how come people scream "tasteless" when a democrat is made fun of and love it when republicans are depicted as, say, nazis, or overly zealous holy rollers? I say anybody can be laughed at, even if the joke is potentially shocking. That goes for us lefties too. Your thoughts?

second, it is tasteless and a little bit racist, considering his wife was drawn with an Afro, looking like a black radical from the 60s.

Okay, first off, No magazine has shown a drawn picture of McCain dressed up as a Nazi. Talking about it and depicting it are two different things.

The more I think of it, the more the whole situation makes me laugh. Anyone familiar with the New Yorker knows this was nothing more than a send-up of the stereotypes of Obama held by some of my co-workers and my in-laws.
It was nowhere near as offensive as, say, a civil rights leader talking about castrating a presidential candidate for encouraging personal responsibility.

I'm just sayin'...
