Oh, happy day!

What’s the charge? Child Porn or molestation?

[rarestia]

While his art was liberal tripe, the reason for his arrest seems a bit screwy. He copped to a plea of destroying evidence? Evidence of copyright infringement? WTF?

[twister881]

Who is his attorney, Tinkerbelle?

There was a simpsons episode where they absoleutely FAWNED over this waste of space vandalizer of property.

[max americana]

I would love to have my boot on his face.

With the word “VANDAL” under it, heh

[Haiku Guy]

Or, perhaps, “FRAUD”

[PGR88]

It really sums up Obama’s Presidency, doesn’t it?

The artistic and emotional “HOPE” the saps voted for in 2008 turns out to be a fraud and a crime.

[Lexinom]

That is the face of a Soviet KGB agent.

[forgotten man]

Is Shepard Fairey the same guy that has an afternoon show on Fox News?

[Defiant]

Is he a white Hispanic?

[mkboyce]

Without a tie, who bottons the top botton?

[Fightin Whitey]

Now that there is funny, I don’t care who you are!

[Haiku Guy]

"My name is Shepard SMITH, and stop calling me a fairy!"

[KC Burke]

nope, different Fairey.

[LibertyRocks]

How funny!

Maybe this convicted Document Forger is the one who created the “White House Birth Certificate” for Obama?

[al_c]

... 2, .... 1 ...

[dfwgator]

Perfect!

[next media]

Well, he was hoping for change...

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Cut the guy some slack. How would you like to go through life as a guy with a last name of Fairy, I mean Fairey.... : )

[Marko413]

wonder if this guy makes the list of people Obama pardons?

[PzLdr]

In my High School, his name would have been “Lunch Money”.

"Give me that tie there, boy. We ain't gonna have no hangings in here, that's fer sure."

[Cincinatus]

A handy sticker to slap on cars you may see in parking lots with Obama stickers on them...

[b4its2late]

LOL!

That famous Hope poster is based on an Associated Press photograph and they are suing them.

I think that's the current case, but he's had other arrests for graffiti vandalism, and copyright suits are to be expected when your "art" involves appropriating images created by other people -- images of still other people who also didn't give their permission.

A troubled (middle-aged) boy. His father's name is Frank Strait Fairey, and he goes by F. Strait Fairey. Young Fairey must have been teased mercilessly in school.

[DTogo]

Fairey copped to destroying electronic records and creating phony documents in an attempt to stymie the lawsuit, which accused him of basing the Obama artwork on an AP photo.

Exactly what you're told NOT to do in any subpoena for documents. FAIL.

EXACTLY!!!

[a fool in paradise]

He was the same vandal behind the Andre The Giant Has A Posse sticker campaign.

Same lemmings, different "leader". Both were illegally posted.

Andre had nothing to do with Fairey's actions then, Barack DID approve of them KNOWING they were illegally posted on stop signs and elsewhere.

Barack's call for a civil and respectful tone in politics is empty because he hired the man responsible for the FEAR BUSH sticker campaign.

[Leep]

I have to email the MORON to my brother who voted for that loser cOmmie.

Must be some kind of "trutherism" out there to suggest that the President's personal Minister of Propaganda would CREATE PHONY DOCUMENTS TO STYMIE LAWSUIT.

Back to re-edumacation camp with you!

He only has eyes for ewe.

[Darren McCarty]

Fairey? That's his last name?

How apt. One fairey supporting another faerie in Bacrock Obama.

[randog]

LOL!!!

[Eleutheria5]

I don’t know about you, but he scares me more than Willy Horton ever did.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

LOL!

Without a tie, who bottons the top botton?

Maybe his clip-on fell off.

[Loud Mime]

Good use of the Baristikas!

[little jeremiah]

Someplace on FR I read that Fairey is not his birth last name. He changed it. If I’m wrong I’ll admit it!
