Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

LOS ANGELES -- The pop art Obama poster created by street artist and guerrilla marketer Shepard Fairey has become one of the iconic images of the 2008 campaign, selling 80,000 in poster form and another 150,000 as stickers. "I wanted strong. I wanted wise, but not intimidating," said Fairey, famous for his Obey Giant work.

I wish Ron Paul were Black! THAT would be Progress!!

No doubt the red half of his face signifies his Commie pinkoppeasment tendencies.


Really, is "Shepard Fairey" this artist's real name?

Reminds me of BuffaloBobs' comments about "sky fairies" every time
we have a debate on here about religion.

It's pretty good art, I guess. The colors may insult "cookfish." They don't insult me. "Cookfish" is easily insulted, and represents views that will soon go the way of prohibitionists. herm

he wanted to make posters that the cool cats would want. The 2008 Democratic primary season equivalent of the Che poster (with all that implies). More Mao, more right now.

Damn, that makes me feel good all over. We need more Che and Mao these days.

Don't you assholes realize that implies drastic socalism and strong Dick Taters, or DT for short. Is that what we can expect from a big 0 administration?

There is an Otis Art Institute just outside of LAX and there's hardly a public works flat space in the neighborhood that doesn't have one of these beauties adorning it. That it pisses off the huff & puffers just tickles the shit out of me.

And Mssr. Fish...what does the blue side signify for you? Perhaps it will reflect your mood when it finally sinks in on a fine morning in early November that a black man is President? You're not one of those guys that still has a SoreLoserman bumper sticker on his pickup truck, are you? Remember the merriment that accompanied it's unveiling? Not many chuckles left in it now, is it?

Say it slowly and repeat it when your anxiety level begins to rise. It will help soften the inevitable gut punch later on...

President Obama

Beware any cult of personality. Political fervor is fine. But any leader is just a person. GWB claimed he conversed with God. We don't need any morje deification of elected leaders.

What were the Obama people thinking????
This is an idiotic decision which will just encourage mischaracterization of Obama by those who want to frighten voters.
I like the poster but the Obama campaign should not have asked someone who likes to create controversy to do it.

What were the Obama people thinking????

The obvious answer is they wern't thinking but when your friemds are 'white hating' preachers and 'terrorist' thugs from the 60s what do you expect?

Worth repeating.

Are you genuinely concerned that Obama is taking his policy positions from this street artist? It's a cool poster. I wouldn't read more into it than that.

So much for the Flag lapel pin...

Zap, that's awesome.

No, I think he is listening to his preacher and that radical Bill Ayers. What do you think?

Lol, yes he had such a close personal relationship with Bill Ayers on some board they both served on for the college they both work at.

But Cheney wants to do business with Iran and he gets a free pass. lol!!!!111!!!111!!!

BJ, Bill and his wife furnished the house to launch his political life. I realy think they are closer that you think.

How bout that preacher? I guess they haven't been too close for the last 20+ years.

Wait until this picture is supplemented by others including the one on the cover of Trumpet, showing Obama and Minster Louis Farrakahan of the anti-American, anti-white, anti-Jew "Nation of Islam."

I wonder how much of the Jew vote Obama will retain, Probably at least half since their leftist instincts will override their survival instincts. How would such a defection effect the outcome in Florida?

I would love to be a part of McCain's campaign with the issuance of a picture more damaging to Candidate Obama than that of the parolee rapist murderer that scuttled Dukakis. Pals, Obama-Farrakhan, the team for you.

snippythechimpblower-your hatred is showing-as well as your desperation.
I can't wait 'til November-you guys are getting tossed!

Hey, as a street agitator generating racial tensions, Obama is conforatable with the picture. Che is Obama's hero, and that's where he's at.

Black liberation theology. Black separatism. Black preference. That's Obama for you. It will warn the cockles of the heart of a stupid poor gun-totin' white, who's a clinger to religion, that an uppity "man of color," such as Obama wants his vote. Will Obama get it?

Send that message to Tahoka, Texas. How will it play in Lynn County? Take me somewhere's south of Lubbock, where the best is like the worst, where there are no PC mandates, and a man will speak his piece at the ballot box without accommodating any "noble thoughts." Just folks. The Obama people will be in unfamiliar country.

It's pretty good art, I guess. The colors may insult "cookfish." They don't insult me. "Cookfish" is easily insulted, and represents views that will soon go the way of prohibitionists. herm

frankf55thechimpblower (whatever that is) - I don't hate obama. I don't want his socalistic policies runnin this great country.

We need to reduce the size of our bloted government, not make it bigger with yet more social programs that don't work.

My desperation will show when we loose our first 10 amendments to the constitution.

When I read the posts of people like Johnson and Sniper it is hard not to feel intellectually and morally superior to Republicans in general

Shepard Fairey is a wonderful democrat name.
Reminds me of another flaming liberal: Luke Sissyfag.

can someone please tell me 4-5 significant accomplishmants of obama's? no sarcasm intended...i just don't know much about his background or qualifications.

can someone please tell me 4-5 significant accomplishmants of obama's?

Obama got police in Illinois to have to videotape the entirety of a interogation/ confession in order to prevent coersion.

Obama successfully worked to get more funding for injured veterans.

Increased the minumum wage in Illinois.

In the state senate he sponsored 780 bills, of which 280 were enacted into law.

While a Senator in Washington Obama attempted to create an Office of Public Integrity in order to combat corruption but due to the fact that DC has become an open sewer that one didn't pan out.

That's 4 outta 5.

Russ Feingold, whom Spud quite admires, considers Obama his go-to guy in terms of ethics.

Accountability, transparency, honesty, authnticity are the buzzwords that aurround him while their opposites can be fairly used to describe both his Democratic and Republican opponents.

He's far from perfect but he's the best candidate in the race by far.

Be Well.

Obama has:

1. A fiery and outspoken pastor
2. Friends that use bombs to influence opinion
3. Socialist views
4. Boyish good-looks
5. A snappy campaign slogan

With this fine list of accomplishments
and 70 cents, I could buy a cup of coffee.

I coined the phrase OSucka.

Because I saw that movie "I am gonna get you Sucka"

Obama is Sarge.

Kuma

"I coined the phrase OSucka."

That was YOU?!!!!

Dude...you're fuckin' brilliant. It's become like the new "my bad", or "where's the beef". Fuckin-a, dude, it's like my brush with fame, 'cause I guess I almost kinda know you. Did you think about it much or did it just come to you in a flash after watching that movie?

"(D)on't count on it dickhead. I guess you are a fucking commie too."

Another brilliancy from Buchenwald. I can just tell it's gonna be a great day for the great unwashed. herm
