This is a fantastic article I found this morning.  These are just a few excerpts, so be sure to read the entire article.

"There is something unsettling and very familiar in the Obama poster campaign which has plastered his image over the country. The posters depict the same graphic closeup of the candidate with one block word either "Hope," "Change" or "Progress" at the bottom. I knew that I had seen this before, and then it came to me that this image appropriates the graphic style of totalitarian Soviet propaganda."

"Coincidentally or not, the website for the artist, Shepard Fairey, who designed Obama's posters is called Obey and boasts on its homepage, "Manufacturing quality dissent since 1989," and the artist bills himself as an agent of "worldwide propaganda delivery."

How very dishonest of you. I notice the link "forgot" to mention that the posters they listed were not actually Obama posters. But hey rightwingers have never seen facts as as a reason to get in the way of their libel.

There is nothing "dishonest" in my post.  These are posters used to represent Obama, and can be commonly found at his cult gatherings....I mean rallies. 

 

But hey rightwingers have never seen facts as as a reason to get in the way of their libel.


Right....because the left is just so honest, right?

Dishonest? Then why does his campaign fly the Che Flag?

Boy, you can hear the spin bots whirring now! :LOL:

And your point is?

Trying to put meaning into the similarities really sounds like a straw man fallacy to me. All candidates have people who volunteer their time who are questionable or otherwise murky.

Well there is the fact that it doesn't. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are simply ignorant rather than intentionally dishonest. I am assuming you are repeating the republican lie of assigning the Obama Campaign blame for a che flag being hung in a unaffiliated office sponsored by people unrelated to the campaign who chose to volunteer for Obama.

But again, Republicans never let facts get in the way of libel.

There, I fixed it.

Thank goodness there's someone new who can spew partisan hack from the left now, instead of us having the endless supply of rightist bullshit we get on this site.

It feels more evenly full of shit now . . .

As it gets closer to the election I'm sure we will see more Obama-bots around.

Mind providing actual evidence to prove this, since you are the one claiming it. Otherwise I'm going to have to call bull on it. It's either another spun story, or not all the facts were gathered. I won't go so far as to say you're lying, you're better that as far as i know.

No response ID?

I didn't see your original question before. 

My point is Obama has suspicious ties to Marxists, racists, and anti-Americans.  I find it interesting his most popular campaign poster, which is being sold on his site, is created by one of these people.

The flag was hanging in the office of Obama's Texas headquarters.  The person who was supporting this is a well known Obama supporter, donator, was a blogger on Obama's website, and a marxist moonbat.

Ok, go to the address bar, and type www.google.com.

And do your own damn reading! It made front page on not only Fox, but CNN, but of course it was not on those left wing hate sites like retarded monkey, moron.org, or the puffington host.

Get your head out of your butt, and do some work.

Quoting Island,

The flag was hanging in the office of Obama's Texas headquarters.

Completely wrong, the office was opened by volunteers and Republicans lying about it always "forget" to mention the part about how Obama staffers didn't even run that office.

 

Its apparent that I gave you too much credit in assuming that you were ONLY ignorant and not dishonest.  Its quite apparent you are willfully ignorant and intellectually dishonest.

Ahh the traditional response of Republicans who were called on their BS and are trying to weasel out of proving their claims.

I've done my bit of looking into it, and found that it was like it was, just done by supporters. My point is however, is to have you look. Here's the catch: It's called backing yourself up. It's a journalism thing, and hell, it's even a debating thing. If you are going to assert something, or claim the sky is purple, then you have to have the balls, and/or the evidence to back it. Period. Or you don't bother.

Also, I find it slightly humorous that you mentioned the very news outlets that you, when you don't need them,

My point is Obama has suspicious ties to Marxists, racists, and anti-Americans. I find it interesting his most popular campaign poster, which is being sold on his site, is created by one of these people.


And? See, if he was to exclude the very guy, then 1) He'd be hypocritical. 2) He'd be bashed by republican pundits (and probably others).

Unless he's actually out and out said something anti-American or it is found out that he did something illegal with those connections, I'm not going worry. I mean hell, I have some acquaintances with people who are blatantly racist. Doesn't mean I agree with their views.

Thinking about it, with what he's done in his life, and how far he's come, I find it actually unsurprising that he has friends/acquaintances of that flavor. He's always seemed the type to get to know various types of people.

Republicans or Democrats, it isn't solely based on their party, just the person they are.

You get funnier as you get more desperate! Unfortunately, no one said anything about Obama endorsing, authorizing, or hugging it. Just that it was there.

Your link was about Hillary, so I can see why you cant spell Fox, and think that anything not left of Mao tse Dung is part of the right wing conspiracy.  :LOL:

Better to teach a loon to search, than to give him a false link.

See above for the correct link. Or are loony loopy luddite lefties capable of that?  :LOL: 

FYI - for the record, since you are new, I am not a Republican. I am conservative.

Faux Noise..... Another left wing moonbat.
If you research the story, you will see that the office was opened by these so-called "volunteers" while waiting for paid Obama staff.  When the story hit the public, the Obama camp then tried to deny it was ever going to be an "official" office.
But as usual, Obama seems to have the support of marxists, socialist, and communists.  Keep being a loyal cult member and step up!

I realize its hard for you to keep track of your lies but you claimed his campaign flew it. Its impossible for his campaign to do it without him being culpable. The fact is it had nothing to do with his campaign therefore you are proven to be a liar.
