I don't get the controversy over this. They're caricaturing silly attitudes/fears about Obama and they did it in an appropriate fashion, IMO.
And I'm not an Obama fan. |

This is such bullshit. If they did a cartoon of Bush in a medieval dungeon wearing a cowl like the Grand Inquisitor and torturing some poor Muslim-looking guy I'm sure some conservatives would cry foul, but it wouldn't be a big deal. NPR has been completely disingenuous in their coverage of this. I'm generally against special interest groups brow beating for censorship of legitimate satire.
