I don't have much of a problem with the picture of Obama all dressed up like Napoleon Bonaparte. He won the election, and all that, so he and his friends can gloat. But the thing about old white guys is kind of strange. Let's suppose that "The Obama Conquest" refers to one article and the old white guys headline referrs to another. Some editor had to decide to put both on the cover at the same time. Was that because the editor is a little naive and insensitive?
If this same cover appeared in The Weekly Standard or The National Review there would be outrage in the main stream media; calling the publisher racist and incendiary. But since it's put out by one of their own, there's no racist implications. What they will say is that if you see anything racist about it - that actually proves that
you're the racist. They're just telling their little unrelated stories and didn't have an agenda. Sure.
