Entry: America's First Affirmative Action Candidate Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/americas_first_affirmative_action_candidate#32965 Post contents: "An insult to American muslims". American muslims may feel less insulted by this cartoon than by the episode of Obama's flunkies asking head-scarfed muslim ladies to move out of camera-shot at one of his rallies. The cartoon touches a nerve precisely because, as you say, it contains an element of truth: about the Obamas, as well as the more feverish fears at large in the nation. It should be said that humour is a great antidote to fear. It would be a sad day for democracy were political commentary to be purged of its more satirical elements by the peecee brigade. Not even a monarch - George III - could stop Cruikshank's wicked cartoons of his family. Sent at: 2008 11 20
