Wow. That’s a real eye-opening article about Fairey. The article is a bit lefty (a lot really), but seeing beyond that, it’s clear that Fairey is a grade-a plagiarist. The author suggests that he’s actually mocking leftists by expropriating their images, but I dunno.

I’m going to pop a few of these posters along with the Obama support letter to some local businesses and public offices. This will raise eye brows!

"It seems that Obama is attracting every America hating Marxist and terrorist to his cause."There are plenty of them on Clintoon's side. Especially, Hillary.

From the plagiarism article, last line:
“If carefully examined, the rebellious patina and ersatz activism of Shepard Faireys art gives way to reveal little in the way of political imagination. Ultimately his work is the very embodiment of “radical chic”, bereft of historical memory and offering only feeble gestures, babbling incoherencies, and obscurantism as a challenge to the deplorable state of the world. Such an artist cannot provide us with a critical assessment of where we stand today”
I cannot think of a better description of Obama himself. While I cannot sympathize with the lefitst sympathies of the author critquing Fairey, I only hope this merely epitomizes Obama as well. In other words, I hope he is a fake, like Fairey, and not the real thing, a real Manchurian Candidate.

It gets better — Obama’s official campaign blogger is so far left (and proud of it) that he sounds a lot like Ayers and Dohrn....... but he advises Noam Chomsky to be less honest and forthright about his views so as to fool the bitter, dim-bulb masses:
Obama’s Official Blogger: A Hardcore Marxist
Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 8:45:59 am PST
Barack Obamas official campaign blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, is a hardcore Marxistand even leftists like this are disturbed by his presence on the campaign staff: Sam Graham-Felsen stands for what?
UPDATE at 4/23/08 10:28:55 am:
Heres an article by Sam Graham-Felsen at the Harvard Crimson, expressing his admiration for anti-American academic Noam Chomsky, and advising him to tone down the extreme rhetoric in order to trick the unwashed masses into following along: Chomskys Choice.

This says it all about Obambi's favorite poster propagandist:
"When a will to plagiarize and a love for self-promotion are the only requirements necessary for becoming an artist, then clearly the arts are in deep trouble."

Thanks Enchante, 459 comments so I’ll wait till tomorrow to browse, lol.
I guess only ‘we’ on the internet really are aware of all this stuff as it sure isn’t in the newspaper for the general public to see!!

Here is one of his mind-control posters. You "obey" him if you buy it, and you "obey" him if you don't buy it.
