It works because he carefully controls how the media frames it:

Lebensraum
Chris Muir of Day by Day really nailed it today.
I had to look up lebensraum, though. I guess I’m not as up on my WWII history as I thought. I blame public schools:
Lebensraum – (German for “habitat” or literally “living room”) was an important component of Nazi ideology in Germany. The Nazis supported territorial expansionism to gain Lebensraum (“living space”) as being a law of nature for all healthy and vigorous peoples of superior races to displace people of inferior races
Metaphorically, it’s how liberals view the American cultural landscape – where something exists that is good and decent and beautiful and just, it must be invaded, conquered, and forced to “tolerate” deviancy, indecency, and mediocrity as “equally valid”. Most conservative pundits describe it as “a coarsening of the culture”.
No. It’s an act of war by a ideological Master Race with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.
In Chris’s cartoon, though, he uses the term in its original sense, and I fear not inappropriately.
Normally I’d post it here, but IMAO has a narrow main column, and this cartoon is best enjoyed full-size. Go check it out

Definitely Arik for even knowing that New Model Army exists, let alone being able to reference one of their songs.
PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
IMAGE SOURCES: Lots of great Obama pics to be found at the White House Flickr page.
Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
