Quote: | I think we're all well aware of that. | If you look at the posts on this page I don't think that's necessarily the case. I think some people at least are very clearly not aware and are treating the cover as if it was meant at face value.
Quote: | What we're addressing is whether it went down that way or not. | I don't think that's necessarily what everybody thought they were discussing.
Quote: | Well, which is it? We should be bothered by attacks based on prejudice or we shouldn't be? | I really don't get what you're trying to say. I made it pretty clear that attacking somebody on basis of ageism is something people should be bothered about. I never said anything to indicate that people shouldn't be bothered by somebody being attacked on basis of prejudice. It might be noted that in those covers there was no actual attack on Obama, just a mockery of attacks on Obama. I think it was in bad taste to do a satire like that, but I know it wasn't supposed to be an actual prejudiced attack on him. __________________ Free Tibet. And Iran. And Zimbabwe.
