He’s at it again. Though quiet mostly just after the New Yorker cover, Tom Blumer is “bizzy” trying to hint that Obama is a terrorist. Wink wink. Nudge nudge:
Here’s more proof (as if needed) that the ingrates who don’t like how I use Barack Obama’s middle name don’t appreciate the favor I do for him on a mostly-daily basis.
Scott Whitlock at NewsBusters reports that columnist Thomas Friedman of the quickly-contracting New York Times told Good Morning America’s Diane Sawyer the following:
I was in Cairo a few weeks ago. And one of things that was so striking is how impressed Egyptians were, simply with the prospect that after 9/11, Americans might actually elect a man whose middle name was Hussein.
Well, if Egyptian pride is to mean anything, Americans simply must know that the presidential candidate with the middle name Hussein actually HAS the middle name Hussein.
I am pleased to continue providing such a valuable service, and encourage others to assist in this important endeavor. :–>
Since he conveniently ignored the New Yorker story, I thought I’d make it easy on Tom and provide him with a nice site graphic he can use. Feel free to download and display proudly on your site, Tom. You motherfucker you. 160 pixel width, which I think will work perfectly on BizzyBlog.com.

So how disingenuous does one have to be to claim the moral high ground and scoff at a liberal leaning magazine for printing something that has been in his and the collective right’s psyche for some time now?
The answer? Very.
Not only that, but Mr. Flip Flop himself can’t make up his damned mind. First he posts that “I Condemn the Liberal Magazine New Yorker” (that’s the title of the post), then he tells Tim via email:
Well, Tim, the New Yorker isn’t a conservative magazine and quite frankly, I don’t really give a damn what the New Yorker does…
I don’t give a damn, but I write a separate post about it. Uhuh.
I condemn the shouting the New Yorker cover does by highlighting the smears against Obama, but I will continue to whisper Hussein every chance I get.
Good to know hypocrisy is still alive and well on the right! Good show, Captain Hurley! Good show!

Tim has already weighed in on this one and I have to agree with his thinking this is a good thing. I think it’s not only great, but will get talked about. It allows for two things to happen, both of which already have:
1. Obama can communicate disgust and outrage at the imagery. Bill Burton complies:
“The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama’s right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree.”
2. The McCain camp is forced to join in the opinion of the Obama camp and we get him on record (again) saying these types of things are inappropriate. Cue Tucker Bounds:
“We completely agree with the Obama campaign, it’s tasteless and offensive.â€
Is there a risk this will just be publicized enough as to gain more traction with those whose votes it might affect in a negative way for Obama? There is certainly a section of our electorate that would make that a worry. I would argue there is a greater section of our electorate who tire on the vile nature of attack politics and my thinking in this cycle is the more you expose the vicious nature of the right when it comes to Barack Obama, the better.
They don’t have anything else to beat him with – if you don’t count their weak attempts to toss flip flopping stones from glass houses. Nothing. They are so completely devoid of ideas at this point that McCain is forced to borrow from the left and become some Manchurian environmentalist candidate. They have fear and loathing tourettes syndrome. It’s the only card they know how to play. Too bad it’s not gonna work this time.
I’ll be headed out tomorrow to pick up a copy, if for not other reason than to tell my kids about the time we beat fear by cutting off it’s ugly head and holding it up for all to see.
