Did you even read the post before replying LaurieAnnM? It is not against free speech, it is simply saying why the cartoon doesn't work! If "Obama can't stand the heat..."? This isn't supposed to apply heat to him, it's supposed to make fun of those people who think Obama is a terrorist, but it fails miserably and you just proved it. The New Yorker was trying to help Obama with this cartoon, but it can only be damaging to him. If they intended to poke fun at him or hurt his campaign, then great, but that supposedly was not their intention. The cartoon is not an outrage, just a failure.
