it's all fun and games, truth to power, and patriotic dissent until it's your side, and then apparently not so much.

"Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."

"We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama."

It's kind of the point of 'freedom of speech', isn't it? I may not agree with or like what someone says, but that doesn't mean they can't say it. Tit for tat, and all of that.
