Political Cartoon Causes Uproar

The political supporters of Barack Obama have been in an uproar over the satirical cover of "The New Yorker" magazine. It depicts Obama dressed in Muslim clothing with his wife dressed as a terrorist. They are giving each other a hi-five as the American flag burns in the fireplace of the oval office, below a portrait of Osama BinLaden. Despite the outrage of Obama's supporters, the magazine does not apologize but asserts its satire is meant to point out aspects of the candidates in a satirical way. McCain's campaign leaders agree that the picture is tasteless and offensive. I am always thankful when I see things like this happen because I know in many countries people would be killed for publishing something like that. In our country, people just get angry and raise a big fuss.
