Someone please tell me how this crap is considered art. Imagine a picture of Martin Luther King with a noose wrapped around his neck and the word "Fraud" printed under it. Would that too be considered "art" or hate speech?

One thing I learned in my personal study of arts is that those that can, do. Those that cant, "shock" and claim its art.

Sorry but crap like this gets my blood boiling.

I got your "art" right here Columbia! Wast of ink and wall space.

Why don't these protesters do something intelligent -- and maybe they'd make some converts. One juvenile stunt after another is not convincing argument for their positions -- even if they are the editor of the local newspaper or congressional representative.

Of course it's art. It's bad art, but it's art.

The mouth-breathing moonbats over at lewrockwell.com will think of that as a masterpiece of art.

It's not art, but it's also not something that Secret Service agents should be wasting their time on. In this country, people have a right to express their ideas, no matter how idiotic. Government agents showing up to "inspect" a negative expression against a government leader, which is clearly being done in the context of "art", and not an actual threat to carry out what is depicted, smacks of totalitarianism.

I hope the Secret Service did more than just go and check it out. Bring back the sedition act and start putting these punks away.
